In order to fill my outline of the rob-

considerations of morality. The three
requisites all center in Tentaillon's
boarders. They are painters, therefore
they are continually lounging in the
forest. They are painters, therefore
they are not unlikely to have some
smattering of education. Lastly, be-
cause they are painters. they are prob
ably immoral. And this prove in two
ways. First, painting is an art which
merely addresses the eye; it does not
in any particular exercise the moral
sense. And second. painting, in COM
mon with all the other arts, implies the
dangerous quality Of imagination. A
man of imagination is never moral; he
outsoars literal lamentations and re-
views life under too many shifting
lights to rest content with the inviiious
distinctions of the law
But you always say-at least, so I
understood you"-said madame, that

He had him by the arm. shaking him

What They Say in Marion Is The
Same They Say Here.


Same They Say Here.
There is something novel in reading
incidents connected with the life of
people in the States. Even If these are
of the most trivial nature the fact that
the Yankee is now our brother makes
them interesting. When they give
vent to their feelings on a question
that concerns us, the incidents are
doubly interesting. Take the opinion
on Doan's Backache Kidney Pills in
this neighborhood and compare it with
what follows from Marion, o.
This is only one example but it is
sufficient to prove the truth Of the as
sertion. Mrs. w. r. Creasap, Of No.
GIL Silver street, Marion, O., says:-"I
had trouble with my kidneys OF so SER
ious nature that it became positively
necessary for me to have an examina-
ton made of them by physician. This
put my disease beyond a doubt that
it was anything but genuine kidney
disease. For about two years past
there seemed to be sore spot in the
small of my back over the right kid
ney. 1t was so excessively bad that it
was sore to the touch and hurt me If
I leaned against anything accidentally.
I could not lie upon my back at night
on this account and I was compelled
to lie only on one side. 1t hurt me to
stoop over and raise up again and I
had pains up my back and down into
my limbs. My feet swelled consider
ably and my body also, and l had
great shortness Of breath. All this
was relieved by using Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills. 1 believe they are
all they claim to be. 1 shall recon-
mend them to others personally when
ever an occasion presents itself"
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold for so cents per box, or six boxes
for $3.50, by all dealers, or will be
forwarded by mail to any address on
receipt OF price by the HOLSTER Drug
Co., Ltd, Honolulu, agents for the

Why a "Jacky" Skipped From
Honolulu.
Washington Starr


Bluejackets attached to ships that
have departed from the United States
for Honolulu have often taken heavy
chances on getting into all kinds of
trouble, civil and military, by SNUG
Cling opium to the Hawaiian Islands.
Bluejackets on American ships man
aged to get many a can of the poppy
into Honolulu by secreting the stuff
in ships hooks and sending it ashore
by the bumboatmen upon making the
Hawaiian port. A second-rate bOSun' S
mate on one of the ships overdid this
business, however, a few years ago, by
taking on too much of the contraband
opium when his ship left San Fran
cisco. The bumboatmen were helping
him to get the cans of opium over the
side as rapidly as possible upon the
ships arrival at Honolulu harbor, but
meanwhile the commanding officer got
wind from one of the Opium-dealing
sailors enemies of what was going on.
One afternoon, when the opium snug
gler was ashore, supervising the sale
of the cans he had got over the side,
the inspecting officer of the ship found
about thirty-five half-pOund cans of
opium slowed away behind the sailor S
ditty bag in the wire lockers. The sail
or got wind Of what awaited him upon
his return to the ship, and he didn't
return. Instead, he shipped on a Brit
ish vessel that was pulling out of HO-
nolulu on the same evening for Shang-
hal, and, with pocketful of profits
already made on his opium smuggling,
he was on his way to China before the
officers of his warship knew what had
become of him.

Trouble in Samoa.

When the Mariposa left Apia the
Supreme Court had heard the claims
of the native rivals for the vacant
throne and was to hand down a deci-
sion in a few days. 1t is likely that
the Mataafa faction will make trouble
if Malietoa is chosen for the place. The
tension became so great down there
that the house of the Chief Justice
was guarded and he was by proclama-
ton placed under American and Brit
ish protection.
