along the sea off the starboard quarter. The
line of its advance was as clear as that of

loose the main sheet and raise my voice
when the squall struck us. Terrible as was
its appearance, it had not the weight of the
blast that had opened the ball the night be-

against the bilgc and rolled on deck until l

Saying this, he pulled his knife from its
sheath, and, taking the steel by its point,
held it toward me.
"Will you swear to no other arms, each of

Gay, that's Gods truth" spoke up one of

Now know little of the nature of the
black sailor save that his anger is apt to
show in treachery, but with the regular
white salt | am better acquainted and have
found that the English seaman, he he Van
kee or Brton, argues his point with square
fist and a flashing eye. Though there may
be wars and wars with the mother country,
it will be open and without bacl-stabbing
by those of the Saxon race, and, believing
this, | thought | saw way of scoring a
point, and that with little danger to myself.
The truth of the statement that they were
unarmed appealed to my reason. For de.
Tense three men armed or not would have
cut no figure, and, as the Sprite had in,

force on the Phantom had not been con-

THE CAUSE: Of
DYSPEPSIA.
Loss Of Vitality Known to be the Parent Of this Dread
Dsease-The Method Of Cure that Has
Proved Most Successful
From the Republican, Scranton, Penna.


The most common of all human ailments
is deranged digestion: the most aggravating
disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia In-
sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it
tortures its victims, battles She skill of ply.
sicisns and the power of medicine.
The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack OF
vitality the absence of nerve force; the loss
of the lite-sustaining elements of the blood.
1t is truism that no organ can properly
perform its function when the source OF
nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one
hand and Over-taxc1 on the other. When
the stomach is robbed of the nourishment
demanded by nature, assimilation ceases un-
natural gases are generated, the entire sys-
tenn responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph I. Vandyke, 440 Hickory St.,
Scranton, Pa.
In telling his story Mr.. Vandyke says:
give years ago. | was afflicted with a
trouble of the stomach, which was very
aggravating. had no appetite, could not
enjoy myself at any time, and especially
was the trouble severe when l awoke in the

in constant misery.

diagnosed the case rs catarrh of the stomach.

reckless step OF leaving the forecastle. The
man in advance seemed dazed, for he hest
tated and almost fell as the head of the
schooner rose to "A billow, but with an eff
fort he turned toward me and staggered
a step forward. At that instant | saw a
huge sea lifting ahead, its ridge tottering to

it | threw up one hand and shouted to the
man to get back Whether he understood

marked him drifting sternward on the crest
of wave, with one hand in the air, as in
appeal, his set, white face looking like paper
as he gave last terror-stricken glance at me
and a shout unheard save by his Maker
To lift finger for his rescue was beyond
all but Divine power, and, though he was
no more than the booms length from me,
he was as fairly seized by death as though

They scrambled to their feet and looked

The sailor with the pigtai whom | had
pitched below was trihe in advance of the
others, and, stepping pace forward, he
shouted back:
"Wot's amiss? Everything amiss! Wot

Coffee Nursery in Which a ViSi-
tor is Interested.
LARGE TRACT is CONTROLLED
Buying and Selling Land-Coffee
and Labor Shade-Rubber.
Best Methods.

! c. II. Lester and w. H. Dupee, who
| have just spent a fortnight in Honolu-
! III, are a couple of very wealthy young
men of Chicago. Mr.. Lester is largely
| interested in coffee in Mexico and al
| though in Honolulu for pleasure. he
awaited himself of the opportunity to
look thoroughly into coffee conditions
The result of his observations may be
the investment of some Chicago capital
in Hawaii.
Speaking of his own enterprise in
Mexico Mr.. Lester said: Our com
pany is known as the Mexican Tropical
Land Company. We have POO, 900 acres
Of land. Half of this was purchased a
little more than a year ago at one dol
lar and quarter, gold, per acre This
land We are now selling to small grow
ers at prices ranging from 50 10 SO
per acre.
The company has large tracts of
land under coffee cultivation Our
nursery has over ten million plants
which we sell. at low prices, TO the
small settlers who are rapidly coming
in The town of Dos Rios is the head
quarters in Mexico.
What do We pay our labor? Forty
cents a day Mexican money. This is
20 cents gold. This is much cheaper
than your Japanese or Chinese labor
here in Hawaii but Judging from what
l have seen and heard, your labor does
again as much work as the natives of
Mexico. Our coffees, generally speak
ing. bring II and II cents per pound
in New York or Hamburg markets
There is one thing that must be
done in Hawaii" continued Mr.. Lester,
and the sooner the better for the Ha-
waiian planters. That is the careful
preparation and shipment of their COT
fees. Unless this is done they can
never realize fancy prices. Each plant
er should see to it that his neighbOr
raises good coffee, us this helps to keep
up the general prices of the Island cOf-
fees. For instance, the buyers of COT
fees in the States are always eager TO
purchase FernandeZ's coffees, grown
at HuatuscO, Mexico, and pay him fiji
teen cents a pound. Coffees grown all
around Mr. Fernandez command but
nine and ten cents a pound. This con-
dition of affairs is due to the fact that
Fernandez properly prepares and ships
his coffee, while the other planters are
careless about it.
Il read Mr.. f. ]. HOel's letter in
your paper few days ago. | heartily
endorse every word he says in it. Mr..
HoeIs firm buys two or three million
dollars worth of coffee a year, and his
advice to the Olaa planters must be
valuable to them.
You asked me whether we in Mex
leo believe in shade. Yes. decidedly so.
However, instead of planting the cas-
ter bean, we prefer rubber. for finan-
ciai reasons. Rubber brings about 80
cents per pound \ tree when il is
seven years old will yield four pounds
OF sap on an average. You can read
ily see the revenue secured from a
field of rubber trees. The trees give
excellent shade. | do not know wheth-
Ell these trees will grow in Hawaii or
not. but | shall certainly find out, if

William Walter Estes left its earth
ly tenement and returned to the God
