The cleanest, brightest safest and really

tieman of Honolulu came rushing down to

"tRive me figures for wiring my house, and

Last night a lamp tipped over and it came

Amusing Incidents Brought Out by
the Boom in Zinc.

the Boom in Zinc.
The DEVELOPMENT of the Missouri zinc
fields" brought out almost as many curious
and amusing incidents as follow the dis
covery Of a new gold region. The Joplin
Index tells one-it has a pathetic side-of a
family of ten children, orphans, whose es-
tate consisted of a quarter section of rich
zinc land.
The syndicate that was developing the
region wanted the property. The guardian
of the children was shoemaker of Joplin.
He had been a friend of their father, and
was working hard to keep the estate intact
until they should grow up, and to educate
them meantime.
After he had refused offers that increased
$lO,O 900 at leap, day after day, he became
tired, and set price of 100000, so that the
syndicate would cease bothering him.
1t happened, however, that that particular
property was necessity for them. and they
would have given twice as much. So they
took him up in twinkling. The court ap-
proved the sale and the amount was handed
over in the form of certified checks.
The shoemaker looked at the papers found
out from the banker that they were good"
and then said to the agent of the syndicate:
Gould you give me part cash?"
why, my man, you have 1t all in cash. 7"

long enough.
And the syndicate bought the soda.

NEARLY CAUGHT HIM.

Wednesday night a young man
named Alfred Young, residing just be-
yOnd Elm Grove, selected the track of
the Elm Grove railway just beyond
Pryors hill as good place to sleep,
and went to bed there, just before ten
o'clock. Bye-and-bye car No. 2S, Mo-
torman Cooper and Conductor Reed,
came along, and was only stopped
when within a few feet of the pros
trate and unconscious man. Cooper
bringing his car up with jolt which
shook up the passengers at a lively
rate. Young was pulled off the track
and taken to his home, having had a
very close call from death.
The report reached the city that he
had been killed, but nobody in the en-
ploy of the company was willing to give
any information, and the item was be-
lieved to be untrue and was therefore
suppressed by this paper until the facts
could be learned.

yet the excessive giving so much in vogue
at the present will soon by its own weight ex-
tinguish to some extent this pleasure If all
would have the courage of their convictions
on this subject and refuse to degenerate the
ancient custom, so fraught with sacred
meaning, into one of exchange and barter,
this danger would soon be overcome.
Even within the confines of the family
circle the true significance of the custom
is too often lost sight of, and the opportunity
the occasion offers is embraced to make some
necessary article of clothing, furniture or the
like do duty for the Christmas gift. This is
a wrong Interpretation of the festival. From
the head of the family down to the tiny tod
dler the Christmas gift should be some
thing, no matter how insignificant in itself,
that can be treasured and preserved as a
memento of the joyous occasion.
Make the season one of joy supreme. Let
the Christmas spirit permeate everything,
from the vine -wreathed windows, the yule
log on the hearth, the tree laden with love
offerings, down to the specially prepared
dishes.
