There were in the neighborhood of fit.

and, as soon as the arrests were made,
they CLOSED in on the officer, and attempted
to rescue the prisoners.
Seeing no assistance close at hand, Hal

This part Of the story can be be told by
some of those who felt Its weight. How.
ever, the crowd backed away and left the
officer alone. Halverson was slightly in.

Maui Sports Get
Ready for Aug. Il

Waikiki, July 2l.-The match race
between the Maui celebrated trotters
Mckinley and Mary Mack has fallen
through, consequently there will not be
any races on August 18th at the Kahu-
lui track. The hackers OF McNi nley
were ready to put up their purse Of $500
side, but the hackers OF Mary Mack
were unwilling to put up theirs, claim
ing that interest in horse races outside
OF well established racing holidays
would be detrimental to bushes inter-
ests.
Lahaina racing men are arranging
for racing on August 18th at the Lahai-
ma track, but Mr.. Mccain, who has
been in Waikiki this week, doubts that
the track could be repaired and be in
readiness on that day. The Lahaina
track has never been used for the last
four or five years and consequently is
full of young algaroba trees, which
would be difficult to clear up in so
short a time. Two hundred dollars has
been raised in Lahaina alone for put
ting the track in condition again. Nc
Cam says that the directors will meet
tomorrow Sunday at Lahaina and de-
eide whether or not to have races on
the coming 18th.
In the event of the directors deciding
10 hold races, Waikiki sports would
be on hand with their flyers to compete
with the blooded steeds of Lahaina.

When the EineI tower at Paris was

as TO the possibility of the workmen
performing their labors AZ the dizzy
height t which it was intended 10
carry that now famous structure. II.
Eifel had demonstrated his ability to
perform gigantic engineering works in
the way Of bridges and yiadHcts, but
THIS new attempt of his was the first
of its kind 70 rise 50 far toward the
clouds. 1t +, as everybody knows,
nearly a thousand fest high, or twice
the height OF the great pyramid Of
Egypt and almost twice as high as the
Washington monument.
The ascent to the top is easy enough,
for one has only 10 step into an ele-
vator, consigned TO the ARE Of the en-
gineer, and in a few minutes the deed
is done. But the daring men who have
engaged to repaint this gigantic strue-
ture have q proposition Of q different

"By John, but he's made a p'int!"
said Deacon Spooner as he whacked
on the counter with his cane. Yes,
sir, Jericho needs a brass band to
boost her, and I'm with the deacon.
Let us hear what Moses Hopkins has
to say about it."
"As l take it," said Moses, "a brass
band plays tunes, and I'd like to know
in advance what sort of tunes this
band is goin' to play. If it's goin' to
play The Sweet BY and By then I'm
in fur a band. If it's go;n' to play
hi-diddle-diddle tunes, then Tn ag'in
it,"
That's a pint as fur as it goes
said the deacon, "but it don't go fur
huff. Enos Williams, you was in the
h%og-buyin' bizness fur 20 years and
you ought to know about brass bands.
What d'you think of the iaeao'
That depends" said Enos. Il don't

it's wind all V e town and wastes it

"And mebbe you think you're that
man?' queried the Squar as he pound
ed on the counter with his fist.
II do. l know I am I'm the only
mar in Jericho as kin lead a band to
success and make the town hump her

you all know, and if this meetin'

But the meetin' shouted him down,
and it was five minutes before Deacon
Spooner could make his voice heard,
and then he said:
There's more p'ints bobbin' up here
than you kin shake a stick at, but we
might as we'll hev one more. S'posin'
we hear from Lish Billings. He's the
only man in Jericho who kin play on
an accordion. What d'you say, Lish?'
There's mighty little to be said and
nuthin' to bust up the country an
swered Lish. do any of you sons of
Bunker Hill know how much wind it
takes to blow a brass horn?"
Nobody did. and a hush fell upon
the crowd.
1T takes ten pounds, reckoned by a
lung tester" said Lish, "and you'd
want an extra pound fur walkin' up
hill. There was a lung tester man in
town two weeks ago, and every son
of us handed over a nickel and took
a blow. We blowed and strained and
bowed, and Rube White was one of
'em who bowed a sole off his boot,
and yit no man reached wen pounds.

MADE WE'LL AVID HAPPY

ri have long felt it my duty to write to you, y
says Mrs. Henry T. Miller, of Schwenkville, Mont
gomery County, Penn'a. ri am we'll and happy.
Your Golden Medical Discovery 'Favorite PIE
scr1ption,' and Pleasant Pellets, made me a we'll
woman. 1t is now FIVE years since / used your
medicines combined, and | have been we'll and
strong ever since. l still keep the Golden Med
ical Discovery in the house.
II will tell you more what your Golden Medical
Discovery has done. 1t is now two years since my
sister came TO see me, and she had a tumor, growing
on her neck, below her left ear. 1t was growing
very fast. 1t was as large as a shellbark hickory
nut, and she was awfully worried. She did not
like to have it taken out. When saw it / said
it did not seem necessary to have it taken
out. | told her to try DR., Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, and thought that would take it away.
When she had taken two bottles of the medicine
the tumor was all gone. We could not see where
it had been, and it has not appeared since. She IS
well and happy"
