remaining one-third.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

On what basis the Executive Coun-
Gil made the distribution Of appropria-
lions for public work among the ISL
ands has yet to be explained. A re-
capitulation of the appropriation bills
presented to the Council Of State makes
the problem still more difficult to
solve. When a comparison is made
with the amount of taxes paid the gen.
eral government by the various islands
1t appears that the allotments for addi-
tional public work on islands other
han Oahu fall far below the proper
lion of taxes received from these dis
tricts.

STORIES FOR ANGLERS.
A Trout That wns Caught Twenty
Four Hours After IL Took
the Fly.

A well-lzuown Albany angler had
unique experience this summer trout
fishing up in Canada, says the Argus Of
that city. He was sent out from camp
to catch a mess for supper. He was fish
ing with three flies on a single leader.
AT the first cast his fly was taken by
eood-sized trout that leaped from the
water to grab it. He evidently got the
leader on slack" before the line was
frightened from the rod, as he snapped
IL off and went swimming away with
the two flies and broken leader trailing
behind. Next day the angler revisited
the lake, and as he was looking over the
side of the boat he espied in 10 or Is
feet of water the big trout that had
taken his leader the night before. a
closer examination revealed that his
troutship was safely hitched to the dead
branch OF tree which had fallen into
the water. In swimming about one of
the two free hooks on the leader had
caught in the branch and that ended
the migrations of the trout still firmly
hooked by the fly be had grabbed.
Rowing ashore the angler stripped
and dove for his prize. He secured il
and a piece Of the branch, and to-day
has the stuffed trout with hook still in
his jaw and the other hook imbedded
in the broken branch mounted as q
piscatorial study and souvenir of the

sAwDUST GUNPowDER.
The Man who Made and Sold Cypress
Hams Has worthy Success
sor In Mexico.

The man that sharpened shoe pegs
at both ends and sold them for wheat
was a genius, but he has his equal in
Mexico, says Stray Stories.
Some months ago one of the habitual
revolutionary fiareups was about to
commence in one of the belligerent lit
tie South American presideneies which
masquerade under the title of republics.
A couple of hundred men, marshaled
in opposition to the government, swore
solemn oaths and met nightly in an
abandoned hut at the entrance TO a
swamp.
Enthusiasm was plentiful, but arms
were scarce, so a purse was made up
and three of the party sent off to buy
ammunition.
They went to Mexico, where a cargo
Of powder was delivered TO them, and
after inspection was shipped TO the
revolutionary headquarters. A signal
gun was mounted on a hilltop, and
when the day and hour arrived the field
marshal OF the revolutionary army
touched a match to the fuse of the piece.
There was no response. The marshal
used all the matches in his silver match
box, but the gun refused to fire.
An investigation by the war office"
followed, and the cargo of powder
proved TO be nothing but mahogany
sawdust, which had been vigorously
stirred up with powdered graphite to
give it the proper color and appearance.

Questions
for
Women

If you were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
If YOU saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you ignore it to try some insecure and
tottering structure
The answer to these questions is
plain. You would. of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed Is be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why, then. do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them?
lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. 1t
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world, and nothing
could have given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to il can be easily verified.
Write TO Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
for little book she has just published
containing letters from the mayor of
Lynn, the postmaster and Others.
Mrs Pinkham's advice is offered free
of charge to all women who write TO
her for aid. This invitation is con-
stantly renewed. A million women
have been cured of serious female ills by
Mrs. Pinkhams advice and medicine.
