Doesn't Travel For Fun.

Far from being the great autocrat,
the arbiter of things of magnitude, the
president of a railway system, be it
great or small, is a dealer in trifes,
with a consideration for everything
Every accident large or small; every
occurrence by which the road is to lose
dollar or to make a dollar, comes to
the notice of the president. The sue
cessful head OF a railroad is the one
who considers the details. He is the
man who makes the profits, and he Is
the man who has to face the music at
the directors meeting.
When you see the bright, smooth
running travelling palaces of the rail-
way president trailing along behind
the long string of passenger coaches,
you can be safe in the opinion that the
occupant has not the softest snap on
earth. You can also rest assured that
If he is a success in his sphere he is
not travelling for fun.-Omaha World

An Old Roman Legend That Treats
of the Topaz.


The topaz is called the stone of graf
itude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang a brazen gong before his pal
ace gates and sit beside it on certain
days, hearing and putting to rights the
grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but to sound the gong, and
Immediately admission into the pres
ence of Caesar was obtained.
One day a great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils, and Theodosius gave or
ders that no one should modest the
creature and babe her tell him her
wish. The snake bent her crest lowly
in homage and straightaway told the
following tale:
Her nest was at the base of the gate
way tower, and while she had gone to
find food for her young brood a strange
beast covered with sharp needles had
invaded her home, killed the nestlings
and now held possession of the little
dwelling. Would Caesar grant her JUS
tice?
The emperor gave orders for the por-
cupine to be slain and the mother to be
restored to her desolate nest. Night
fell, and the sleeping world had forgot
ten the emperor's kindly deed, but with
the early dawn great serpent glided
into the palace, up the steps and into
the royal chamber and laid upon each
of the emperor's closed eyelids gleam-
ing topaz. When Emperor Theodosius
awoke, he found he was no longer
blind, for the mother snake had paid
her debt of atitude.-Exchange

D WALKED INTO JAIL AGANH GETS HIS MONEY BACK
LONG SOUGHT MAN ARRESTED IN
COURT.
His Rashness May Cost Him Four
Years Hard Labor at Alcatraz-Wit-
ness in a Liquor Case.

William Miller, for whom the police
have been looking for about five
months, walked unsummoned into
Judge Wilcox court this morning to
hear the testimony in the liquor case
of Frank Fisher. He was pointed out
as witness for the defense by Attor-
ney Strauss. A moment later officer
Hanrahan took Miller by the arm and
led him away, and now he is in the
tank, with prospect of g term at hard
labor on AlCatraz Island, as a deserter
from the army.
Miller was in the guardhouse of the
Sixth Artillery at Camp Mckinley
about six months ago, having been SEN
fenced for stealing clothes from com
rade. He was held there awaiting con-
firmation of the sentence by General
Shafter and became sick. After term
in the hospital he made his escape. Mil
Ter went to Hilo, and is said to have
got a job on the police force there
which he held for four months, while
the police were after him on a warrant
from the military authorities. A few
weeks ago he returned to Honolulu and
he was in Frank Fishers Kakaako re-
sort on the occasions, when the latter
is alleged, on two nights last week, to
have sold five bottles of beer to two Gus
toners, one of whom was a police spy
The other was man whom Fisher had
thrown OUT of his place, as he puts it,
and who got revenge by giving the po-
lice a tip and taking spy to the joint
Miller was wanted in court by the de-
fense, and Judge Wilcox was asked to
punish officer Hanrahan for contempt
in removing the witness, but as Miller
had not been subpoenaed there was no
contempt. Miller simply walked into
capture. He is well known by Hanra-
han, who was with him in the hospital
for some time. As a result of his rash
ness, Miller is in line for four years at
hard labor in military prison.
Fisher was fined $3.50 for selling liquor.
He offered no defense, and gave notice
of appeal.

.BRICKLAYERS ARE SCARCE

A contractor stood at the corner Of

Every pedestrian having the appear
ance of a workman was accosted and
asked if he was a bricklayer. Six dol
lars a day was offered to any white man
or native who would help lay bricks.
Not a man was gotten, and the Contrac-

HORACE CRABBE INJURED
WAS RUN OVER BY A HACK THIS
MORNING.
Two Wheels over Breast of Old Man,
Inaicting Injuries That May Prove
Fatal-Driver Arrested.

Horace Crabbe, an old resident was
run over by hack at the corner of
King and Bethel streets about 10 o'clock
this morning and sustained injuries
which may prove fatal. Two wheels
of the vehicle passed diagonally across
his breast. He was taken to his home
in Nuuanu street by the police. 1t may
be day or two before the extent of the
injuries are known
Mr. Crabbe was walking on the side
walk on King street and had just step
ped down into Hotel. The hack driven
by Chinaman, turned rapidly around
the corner, struck the old man and
then passed over him. The horse con-
tinued on at a terrific rate until caught
by l.. I. Grant, who was a witness to
the whole proceeding. Mr. Grant held
the outfit until the police arrived and
arrested the driver.
The injured man was too faint to
make a statement. Mr.. Grant says of
the accident: THE hack turned the
corner at a break-neck rate. An ath-
lete could not have gotten out of the
way. When the old man was knocked
down and run over the Chinaman kept
right on, making no effort to stop to
see what damage he had done. | ran
into the road, caught the horse and held
the whole outfit until the police arrived.
From all 1 saw 1T is my unalterable
opinion that the driver of the rig, in
turning the corner at such a rate, was
wholly and entirely to blame for the
accident"
Clarence Crabbe, son of the injured
man, was summoned from the water
front and is at home with his father.
Surgical aid was secured promptly and
the effort now is to determine the eX
tent of internal injuries. Both wheels
of the vehicle on one side passed over
the breast almost direct from the left
hip to the right shoulder. Had it been
the other way, or on the side of the
heart, death might have been instanta-
neous. In the hack were the driver and
a Chinese man.
