An officer, walking softly along the
lines to see that all is we'll, will hear a
sleeper groan or a Wakeful man sigh,
but he Viii find no one sitting up-ne
one wandering about. 1t is for every
man to fight it out alone and unaided.
To thousands it is like the last night
of the condemned.
Daylight is just breaking when the.
lines are aroused. As the men spring
up they turn their faces to the east as
if by instinct-as the man lying in his
bed turns his face toward the sunset, if
not too weak. Before there is the
slightest tinge of red in the gray sky.

embers of the fires kicked together, and
a hasty breakfast is being prepared.

and both sides are ready for the CRAP

The east is growing fiery red as the
soldiers finish their breakfasts, lift their
knapsacks to their shoulders and get
the command to fail in. The firing has
almost died away in the front, but there
is enough to keep our eyes busy.

Acanoe Trip Through the Park
Region.

The LAKE PARK REGION of Minnesota Is
noted as being one of unusual attractiveness-
There are thousands of lakes. good fishing,
rolling and timbered prairie country, ducks
and prairie chickens, wild flowers and good
roads. An article with the above heading de-
scrIbes a boat trip from Detroit Lake through
long chain of beautiful lakes connected by
little river, into the heart of the Park country.
The party had guide, lived in tents, and,
although surrounded by civilization, seemed at
times to be in the midst OF solitude. The
possibilities in an outing of say two weeks. are
brought to the attention of those whose desires
lead them to indulge in out of door life at
moderate expense. Wonderland '9s. published

article is printed, will be sent to any address

An Analysis Of the Electoral
Roll Of Oahu for 1897.
More Than Half the Voters Were
Special Service Men, and a Very
Large Proportion Were in Re-
ceipt of Government Pay - The
Nationalities of the Voters.

Through the courtesy of Minister
Cooper THE INDEPENDENT has COM
menced an analysis Of the register
OF voters of the 1897 election.
As there is no general register
printed, as in former times, the labor
is accompanied with considerable
inconvenience, and at present only
the Island Of Oahu, which, so far as
the record goes, is simplicity itself,
has bsen completed, as apparently
the details of all the other islands
are not at present to hand.
On Oahu, in the case OF three
we'll known citizens, no reason for
their registering has been given
owing, presumably, to clerical omis-
sions. Their names have been placed
to the credit of the Especial Service
Voters" as they are believed to hold
the certificates Of membership in
the Citizens Guard.
There were 8l7 votes registered in
the Island OF Oahu for the 1897
election. or this number 1926 were
OF Hawaiian birth, including several
of Chinese parentsge on the fathers
side. There we're 427 registered un-
der the Special Service certificates;
SO under letters of denization and
80 under papers Of naturalization.
An interesting fact in connection
with this registration is the number
OF Government employees who hast
ened to Loyalty show their allegiance
to their paymasters by duly register.
ing, even if they did not all vote.
There were 344 Government Off
ciales xcluding large number OF the
laboring aud clerical classes whose
names appear on Government pay
rolls, but including AZ soldiers and
rs police and prison guards.
SPECIAL SERVICE VOTERS.
The nat,onalities OF the 427 Spe.
cial Service voters will be very in.

or 744 out OF S17, or again that there
were 492 foreigners to 1876 Hawaiians
registered,
Some interesting voting combina-
tious can be made out OF these
figures for next election by the po-
litical sharpsters; bearing still in
mind that 344, at least, were men on
the Government pay rolls, and also
remembering that only 481 of those
registered went to the polls last
year, and that nine-tenths Of those
were Govern ment employees and
others specially interested in seeing
that their "men" were elected.
AS at next years election there
will probably be at the least three
times the present number on the
registration books, it would not be
amiss for the Legislature to provide
an appropriation for compiling a
Great Register, such as the country
formerly had. Thanks to the pro-
gressiveness OF her citizens Honolulu
has several printing Offices in which
the work could be capably done, and
even il we are to be annexed "by the
next steamer" after the impending
war has closed, the Great Register,
like tho old Domesday Book, will be
of inestimable value to the new Vest
ny Parish, County, Province, Colony
or State OF Hawaii.

A Lucky" Lawyer.

Numerous instances are given OF
the power that Mr.. Rufus Choate
possessed over jury, concealing it
even at the time he was exercising
it with the most potent effect. Mr..
+. P. Whipple instances two notable
cases of this kind: One resolute
juryman said to another as he en-
tered the "box:"
Now, mind you, there is one
man in this crowd who will not give
a verdict for the client of that man
Choate. Why, sir, he is the great
corrupter of juries. I know all his
arts. He is engaged by fellows who
wish to subvert justice between man
and man. I hate him with my
whole heart and soulp'
When the verdict was given for
Choate's client, with hardly dis
cussion in the jury room, the wonder
was expressed that this obstinate
member of the conclave agreed so
readily with the rest.
"Oh," he said, "the case was a
plain one. Choate was right this
time, and you know it would have
been scandalous for me to violate
justice because I had a prejudice
against the person who supported
it. Let him appear before us in
case where he is palpably wrong,
and l will show you that I'm all
right. He never can humbug met"
On another occasion hard head
ed, strong hearted, we'll educated
farmer was one of a jury that gave
five verdicts in succession for
Choate's clients. He said:
Il did not think much of his
Sights of fancy, but I considered
I'm very lucky lawyer, for there
was not one of those five cases that
came before us where he wasn't on
the right side"

He Knew Them.

An Edinburgh paper says that a
young advocate before the Scotch
lords of session, on hearing deci-
sion against his client which he
deemed contrary to law and justice,
SO far forgot himself as to exclaim
that he was surprised at such a
decision. The lordships were an
CRY and were considering how to
mark their sense of the advocate IS
impertinence when a pawky old
counselor arose and besought their
Iordships forgiveness for the slip
his young advocate had made. 1T
was purely lack of experience that
led him into error. Had he known
your lordships half as long as have
done I'm hanged if he would have
been surprised at anything your
lordships said or did
