man with German accent But he had it,

1t sounded like German with an English
accent. He likewise had a jag. and in his
hand he carried turkey" He landed in
front of the city hall Friday afternoon aEd
he made inquiry for the Herr Burgomeister.
He admitted that he was hard up and he
had been told that the thing for him to do
was to see Col. Kiefer
One Of the city hall gang took him in
tow, and in three minutes he was in the
mayors office with this note In his hand:
Mayor Kiefer:
Give the bearer $685. He needs the money.
II you haven't got that much with you, give
him Job on the police force.

When he came out of the mayors office
his clothes were not bullying out Of shape
with any money that anybody could see and
he was too big for any Of the gang TO
inquire what the colonel said to him.

mayor had another caller He was also long.

in front Of him and fired it off. Since then
he has been sleeping in the stable.
The conversation took place about a week
ago. 1t was close upon midnight, and Frank
Rad heard something going on in his hen
roost. His chickens are not as expensive as
Phil Schwetzer's, but they are serviceable

astonishing So he aroused his son, and be-

Frank had the gun, and he saw the animal

There must have been several speeches on
hawaii squelched at last in the senate. One
OF them would have been edifying. Senator
Spooner, OF Wisconsin, who has made a. repu-
tatfon as one of the ab.est lawyers of the
senate, had intimated that he had a speech
prepared against the constitutionality of the
measure, which might have been a worthy
comparison to the speeches Of Senators Morr.ll
and Hoar.-Boston Herald.

The annexation Of Hawaii is a starter for
a policy of government by commission One
part OF the imperial programme will be to
gradually increase the power Of the president
and correspondfngly weaken that of the Deo

people believe that the author of the Declare
