SKIPPED WITH TIE MONEY
JOCKEY McAULIFFE DESERTS HIS
FRIENDS.
He Also Takes Their Coin to the
Amount of $2O0-Why Antidote Was
Not Ratified on Saturday.

Joe McAuliffe, the well known horse
trainer and rider, is among the missing.
With him has gone about 5000 of the
money of Tom, Dick and Harry. Nc
Auliffe skipped out on the AOranSl, Fri
day morning and is now well on his
way to Vancouver.
The absentee had been in Honolulu
about four years, during which time ne
had cared for and trained some of the
best horses on the local track. In times
of a pinch, or when a particularly I'M
portant race was on, he would mount
and take the track himself. AS jock
ey he was first class. He was rider
i'm the Antidote-Amarino race in June,
riding the winner at that time.
Some days ago it was decided 10
rattle Antidote. The rattle was set Tor
last Saturday and McAuliffe was de-
tailed to get it up. He started out with
his list and by Thursday afternoon had
nearly filled it, At least 5000 was col
lected, as the full sum was $3.50. Next
morning the trainer quietly went
aboard the Aorangi and was off. II
was next day before all of the men con
cerned found out what had happened
The rattle did not come off, OF course
George Andrews, who was putting ul
the horse, would not stand for Nc
Abilities shortcomings.
Since his arrival in Honolulu NC
Auliffe has been the trainer for seNera
horsemen. His last engagement was
with w. NJ. Cunningham in the June
races.

1t has be.n shown that the globules

Two decades ago the south pro-
duced annually but 6,O0o,OO0 tons of

A most remarkable case of migra-
ton among birds is that of the plov-
ers, which start from Nova Scotia and
go to the northern shore of South
America in practically one continu-
Gus fight. Comparatively few of
these birds rest at Bermuda and the
Barbados.
The roar of a lion can be heard far
ther than the sound of any other liv-
ing creature. Next comes the cry of
the hyena, and then the hoot of an
owl. After these the panther and the
jackal. The donkey can be heard
fifty times farther than the horse,
and the cat ten times as far as the
dog. Strange as it may seem, the cry
of hare can be heard farther than
that of either the dog or the cat.
The South Chicago works of the H.
linois Steel company recently made
a new record in rolling steel rails. In
the day shift of 12 hours the output
was LAP tons, and during the night
shift of the same day 1926 tons were
turned out, thus making the total for
the "a hours 2,677 tons. During this
time the rolls were shut down for
one hour and 81 minutes. This is
said to be the greatest record for
rolling rails yet made.-Railroad and

The native music of aboriginal

British expedition to the Torres

IN MEMORY OF A HEROINE.
Beautiful Fountain, Erected in Ta-
coma I'm Honor of n Noble
Woman.

The drinking fountain just erected
in Tacoma, Wash, by the Daughters of
the Revolution in memory of Narcissa
Whitman is a new incitement to the
emulation of brave deeds, says Youths
Companion
From luxurious home in the east this
heroine went, as the bride of DIR. Mar
Gus Whitman, to work as missionary
among the Oregon Indians. After six
months of incredible hardship they
reached Walla Walla, Mrs. Whitman
being the first woman settler in the
state. Two years passed before she
received the first letter from her par
ents. Her little child was drowned in
the river before the house, so that
when DIR. Whitman became impressed
with the Importance of saving the
country to the United States and
started on his memorable ride across
the continent she was left entirely
alone, with no intelligence of him DUR
ing his whole absence. DIR. Whitman
justly ranks with Fremont and the
great pioneers of the nation, but the
magnificent courage of his childless
wife, left behind to endure that year
of terrible separation, also deserves
recognition.
Three years later an emigrant wagon
passed their door. In it were seven
children whose parents had died on the
way. Mrs. Whitman adopted them all.
Other pioneers settled near them, and
life began to take on new joy.
Suddenly, without warning, fright
full massacre took place. The Indians,
instigated by their medicine men,
sought to destroy the entire vanguard
of civilization. Two chiefs went to the
mission house for medicine, and when
DIR. Whitman rose to prepare it buried
their tomahawks in his brain. Mrs.
Whitman, hurrying to the spot, beheld
a scene of indescribable horror. Like
an angel of mercy she went from her
husband to the children, and from
them. to her fellow missionaries.
stanching the blood of the wounded
and giving comfort to the dying. Shot.
at last, herself, she crept to her uncon-
scious husband, and, kneeling at his
side, offered her final prayer. A little
later. pierced by dozen bullets, she
herself fell dead. Thus Oregon re-
ceived its bloody baptism.
The country of Mrs. Whitman's pa
tient toll and heroic death to-day is
one of the richest portions of our land.
Had she been less faithful to her trust
Oregon and Washington would not
have become United States territory
and the pioneer annals of our country
would have lost one of their most in
spring illustrations of brave, self-sac-
rificing life, and of death in the per.
formance of duty.

A Lad in Homespun
prom The National Magazine, by Permission,
BY e. Crayton McCants.

THE summer sun poured relentless
ly down on field and pasture. The
cattle stood with dropping heads in
the. shadow of the untrimmed hedge
rows; the heat waves rose and shim-
mered above the brown burrows; and
the faint breeze scarcely rustled the
green blades of the lush young corn.
A crow sitting on a panel of the rot
ting rail fence cawed derisively at the
gray mule slowly drawing the plow.
The lad who followed watched me-
chanically the upturning of the mel
low soil, while his long-drawn "Haw,
Wo-haw!" had hstless cadence that
bespoke force of habit, rather than any
need of directing the old and under
standing animal, which plodded on ex-
actly as before.
''Haw, Wo-haw!" They rounded the
bend in the row and approached lit
tie knoll near the center of the field.
The crow hushed his raucous cry and
flew lazily away; the boy bent lower
over the plow handles and the corn
leaves ceased to rustic. The gray mule
went slower and slower.
"Haw, Wo-haw!" They were just
at the top of the knoll; the voice sound
ed far-of, faint and weary; the mule
stopped; tentatively, at first, and then
resting one foot ON it's toe settled into
an easier position. The boy said moth
ing, but leaning against the plow,
pushed his old slouch hat back from
his hot forehead, wiped the sweat from
his face with the sleeve of his ragged
shirt and looked off across the fields.
He was thin, and stopped by toll; there
was weary look in his eyes and the
stains of dust and sweat were upon
his homespun clothing. The partridges
were calling in the wheatfield across

The Cuban Cen.u.

The Cuban census, recently COM
pleted. shows a population of 1,572,-
797. OF this total, almost exactly two
thirds are white. and one-third negro
and mixed. OF the adult population,
only 2s per cent. can read and write.
Of the total population, according to
citizenship, 20,47s are Spanish, 1885,
367 are Cuban, 1886 are of other cit
izenship, and 1851 are 'sin sus-
pense;" that is, they are persons who,
when the census was taken, had not
used the privilege given them by the
treaty between Spain and the United
States of deciding whether to become
citizens of Cuba or to retain their al.
legiance to Spain.
