heart through his stomach" he said,
until couple of years ago, when I
was doing bit of construction work
on TIN Texas and Pacific, out beyond
Alexandria. One day q strappIng big
fellow We all knew as Chicago Pete,'
who was bosslng shovel gang, was
struck by falling derrick and had
half a dozen ribs crushed In. He was
dying when they brought him to camp
and with the party came country

as could In my shanty and the par
son undertook to administer spiritual
consolation, but he soon found he had
a rather difficult Job, Chicago Pete
had been pretty tough customer all
his life and had most OF the traits
that decent folks can get along with
out, but he entertained d supreme con-
tempt for death-bed reformatlons and
told the preacher so with picturesque
establishment OF profanity that made
the good mans hair bristle on his
head. Nevertheless he stuck to his
task and for upward OF an hour he
pleaded with the sufferer to repent be-
fore II was too late. Finally, when he
was about to give up In despair, my
cook next door began to fry some
oysters which l had secured that
morning as special treat, and as
their faint odor drlfted into the shanty
Pete suddenly opened his eyes, Them
oysters reminds me Of home he said.
When you were a boy?' asked the
minister taking the cue as quick as

used to fry oysters that smelt Just like

said Pete, II you'll leave the door
open so l can keep on smelling them
oysters, and a little later he passed
quietly away In the odor of sanctity

A SUBSTITUTE FOR MONEY.

Scarcity Of money has been q great
hardship In many districts, but in
some sections the merchants have
solved the problem for themselves, in
dependent of government assistance.
The courts have been called upon to
decide whether the use Of trading
checks" as they are called, Is in vlo-
latlon Of the law, and II the decision Is
in favor of the merchants using them
the money question" will be practi-
cally settled so far as they are con-
Gerned. These checks are about the
size Of a silver quarter. They are
stamped with the name Of the firm for
whom they are made, and bear state
ment that they will be received for
certain amount in trade, the amounts
ranging from cents to 81. Country
merchants use them in exchange for
produce. They are good for trade only
at the store using them. But from the
fact that the stores refuse to pay for
produce in any other currency, they
soon come to be accepted by all other
stores, as the farmers selling the prod
uce have no other coin to spend. In
this way their circulation becomes
general In certain localities. The store
keepers maintain that as they have

from Washington
How a Little BOY Was Saved.

Washington, D. C.-"W When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with rash which was thought to
be measles. In q few days he had u
swelling on the left side of his neck
and 1t was decided to DO mumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when tho doctor
said 1t was scrofula and ordered q
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but l would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became o running sore.
Three doctors said It was scrofula and
each ordered q blood medicine. A
neighbor told me Of q case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l decided to
give 1t to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished a COM
plete cure" Mus. .,ETTIE CHASE,

Those arguments that are made, tna0
the inferior race are to be treated with
as much allowance as they are capable
Of enjoying; that as much Is to be done
for them as their condition will allow
what are these arguments? They
are the arguments that kings have
made for the enslaving Of the people
In all ages Of the world. You will find
that all the arguments Of king-craft
were always Of this class; they always
bestrode the necks Of the people-not
that they wanted to do 1t, but because
the people were better off for being
ridden. =" Turn 1t every way
you will-whether 1t como from the
mouth Of king as an excuse for en-
slavlng the people of his country, or
from the mouth Of men Of one race.

Gladstons and Bradlaugh.

In some "reminiscences Of Gladstone
published in Chambers Journal, occurs
this passage; "The late Mr.. Charles
Bradlaugh-incredible as 1t may seem
exercised a strange fascination over
Mr.. Gladstone, for which no satisfac-
tory explanation has hitherto been
given. When the honorable member
rose to address the house the aged
statesman would leave his seat In Or
der to get nearer to the speaker, and
II Mr. Bradlaugh unexpectedly took
part in debate during the temporary
absence Of Mr., Gladstone the latter
would almost invariably enter the
house few minutes later, as II he had
come specially from his private room
to hear the speech, and 1t seemed as II
he had made arrangements to be In
formed Immediately Mr. Bradlaugh
caught the speakers eye.' Some time
after the death Of Mr.. Bradlaugh there
was a debate in the house of commons
as to the advisableness of allowing a
Roman Catholic to become lord chan
cellor. Mr., Gladstone delivered a most
eloquent speech in favor Of the pro-
posal, and In the course of his remarks
he incidentally paid tribute to that
distinguished man. Mr.. Bradlaugh,"

WALL STREETs'S ALLY.

Ten million copies are to be scattered

a starter merely. Other millions will
follow, Not since letter writing be-
came an art has there been produced a
missive which gave such solid encour-
agement to the opposition. 1t proves
more things than one. Wherefore 1t Is
meet that the American electorate
should have In black and white this
campaign document. It shows that the
administration grants financial aid by
favor; that party work and boodlc
campaign contributions give open
sesame to the strong-box Of the people;
that Lyman Gage, chancellor OF the ex-

People who have an idea that Rob-
ert Wilcox, delegate-eleCt for Con-
gress, has no set plans of work i'm
Washington may have to change their
minds. 1t is a fact that he has very
set views on several important ques-
tions and, in his own words, will fight
for them no matter what the conse-
quences may be. He has plans foi
getting public money, for the improve

devious plans for amending the Ha-

In addition, Mr.. Wilcox has set views
in regard to the introduction of negro
laborers upon the plantations of Ha-
wall, which may cut more figure He
has talked it openly among his fol-
lowers and has granted permission for
the following statements:
II wish to say that l am unalterably
opposed to the introduction into this
country of negro labor from the main
land of the United States, Efforts
have from time to time been made by
the Sugar Planters Association and
members of that body, acting nde-
pendently perhaps, to bring this lab
or into the cane fields and the country.

| END OF THE HAWAIIAN RACE.

FEARFUL WRECK OF A GREAT
PUMP.
The Kamalo Stockholders Commit
tee Visits the Plantation-Manager
McLane Leaves.

The steamer Lehua arrived from
Molokai before daylight Yesterday
morning with a large number Of pas
sengers on board, including the COM
mittee of kamalo stockholders who
went UP during the week to look at the
plantation and install r. T. Meyers as
manager in place of McLane, who goes
to kolOa to be manager here. Those
/ in the party had the benefit of the
storm ON their return trip. and they
/ had plenty of chances to see the disas-
trous effects of the last big storm at
Kaunakakai
The big pump of the American Su-
gar Company was found to be a
wreck The stone walls have fallen
in on it and the machinery is literally
buried under stone and mud and wa
ter. Several thousand dollars will be
required to dig it out, and some of the
machinery is undoubtedly spoiled per-
manently. The floods carried away the
walls and the hole in which the great
machine was located is now a scene
of wreck. The pump cost 100000.
The wreck of the pump shows strik-
ing evidence of the strength of the
storm. A cloudburst was probably the
immediate cause of the disaster, and
the water cut a fearful gorge as it ran
to the sea.
At Kamalo not much damage was
done to by the storm. Manager Nc
Lane was given a rousing send-om
when he left. The people he was
leaving behind bid him farewell with
fireworks and other demonstrations of
their friendship and Kamalo had the
liveiest day in it's history
Little work is bein~ done on Ka-
malo now, the laborers having nearly
all been discharged. The stockholders
expect that when the present lltiga-
ton is over the plantation will be
worked again. Those who went there
say that there is every evidence that
the plantation will compare well with
any in productiveness. in proportion

with him some samples of cane about

Kaunakakai is dead place as a re-
suit of the abandonment of the Ameri-
can Sugar Company enterprise. The
finest wharf in the Hawaiian Islands
outside of Honolulu has been built at
Kaunakakai, but it is almost useless
now. 1t is large dock that cost about
$4,000 and at which deep water ves-
els can dock as they cannot even at
