Ode to Sheriff Andrews of Hilo.

The man stood on the lonely dock,
Whence all but him had fed.
"I'm firm" quoth he, "as any rock
And proudly tossed his head.
crimson glare shone in the air
From out his whiskers red.
From each firm set lip, you could launch ship,
Where tobacco juice had sped.
"Oh am the Sheriff and Board of Health
And cock of the Hio Isle,
You can tempt me not with your gttering veal
Or your most alluring smile
No germ shall land while here stand;
Not letter shall come ashore.
The man who tries at this port to land
Must wade through my hard spilled gore
Then he took boat and he rowed him out
In the stream, where the Kinau lay
With deaf ear turned to her captains shout,
But terrible lot to say
"No one shall land What's that you said,
Some mule for my friend? You Ounce,
Mules amt like men, just eighteen head?
Yes,put EN- ashore at once.
Take away that mail to Cocoanut Isle
Lower it down on line
Take it away Hold on for while;
Here's some for some friends of mine.
No communication from you we'll take
You men from Honolulu.
Not a word, not look. Is that you Jake?
Say, l want to talk to you.
Just climb down here with me in the boat
While we have quiet chat,
Now back you get while we're both ahoat,
can't take germ, that's flat.
The rice? Take it over to Cocoanut Isle.
What's that? It'll spoil in the rain
None of your business. let it Spite,
You fellows just give me PAIN
To the Post Office then he swiftly ran,
Giving out private mail on the road
And he yelled for rope and big washpan,
And staggered on under his load.
Behind the rope stretched taut as wire,
Like little tin god he stood
Throwing the envelopes into the fire,
All for the peoples good.
Hundred dollar bills and all
Into the fire they went
"For the Chinese mail you needn't call;
That's burnt with wise INTENT
Oh sing of Andrews. Chant aloud,
And craven image make.
Place it on wheels so the yelling crowd
Can worship it for his sake.
He lost his job, but he bafAed the germ,
Though his reign was short,yet he once was chi
Remember that citizens all next term,
And let not your praise of his work be brief.
Remember he stood for a little while
Sole monarch of all he surveyed.
King of Hawaii's lovely isle
While the government stood dismayed.
Hurrah for the man with the whiskers red
And the baccy tattooed chin.
He ought to be placed at the governments head
Though his chance of the job is thin. HILo-E

May Have to Geo Another Glrl.

All Turner, including the hero and
heroine OF the affair, is still laughing
over a little incident that happened last
week or the week before. A young man
was calling on his girl, and the two
young people sat one evening on a rus
tic seat beneath a window OF the house,
while in a room above were several
other girls. Their motive is not made
plain, but be it what it will, they got a
pail OF cold water and poured it out the
window upon the ardent lovers below.
They were wet through.
But that is not the funny part. The
young man resolved to be revenged up
on the girls, and going to the stable,
got a force pump belonging to the lady
Of the house, and hid behind a hedge,
and when two ladies passed, supposing
thin to be the girls who had doused him
he showered them with water. II
proved that instead Of the guilty parties
he wet down his sweetheart and the lady
OF the house.-Portland, Me-, Adyer-

whittier the play is safe or advanta-

the theory that the suit opened by your
left-hand opponent is also your own.
Should this be the case. the situation
presents the creates. difficulty; and ex-
IRENE care should be exercised in the
play. Suppose you do not have another
good suit to open, but have enough
strength in the suits in question to
prevent it's establishment by the adj

This is especially the case Il the re-
rlainder of your hand il evenly divided,

A strong argument against continu-

him unless you are strong in trumps
yourself; and even then you subject
him to the chances Of being over
trumped. On the other hand. your
partner may hold the master card in
the suit, while the original leaders
partner has no more, so that a contin-
uatjon of the suit will not only rob
your partner of what may be his only
card of %re-cntry, but may also give an
adversary the opportunity to make a
small trump. Or, perhaps, the original
leader may himself hold the master
card, put It up and proceed to make
one or two small trumps for his par.-
rer by leading the sli. right back. 10
this extremity the danger of a lead
from either one of your short suits is
greater than ever, the chances being
that the strength in these two suits is
divided between your partner and your
right-hand opponent. Then the selec-
ton of the right suit to lead must be
merely a matter of guess work, with
disastrous consequences following if
you chance to guess wrong.-N. Y.

why a Cemetery Fences

It was a Maine graveyard, and the
fence thereof was in a most disreputable
condition.
Some of the neighbors were trying to
satrt a movement to put a new fence
around the cemetery, and it was meet
ing with general approval till the caustic
wit of Darius Howard was aroused.
"What for?" he inquired. Whats
the need OF fencing the graveyard?
There amt no one inside that wants to
come out, and I'm darn sure there amt
any one outside that wants to get in.
So what's the need Of the fence?"
And the fence was not built till folk
had ceased to chuckle over the thrust
OF Darius.-Lewiston Journal.

Between the recipes for identifying

One OF them was, Whenever an OPP

the opportunities Of leading are gen.
orally not more than three or four in
a deal; and a little thought will show
the folly of wasting such limited
chances in helping the enemy with his
game instead of making progress with
whatever will benefit ones self and
partner. Let the enemy rather play his
own game; make him establish his own
suits, if he cam; but compel him to
give up a card in yourfown suit before
he can make any further progress in
his. 1t will be time enough to lead
through the suit after the opponent has
abandoned it, an opportunity that is

The crowded car-and ere
The stout old lady who
Had dropped her fare
Recovered it he took the only seat
That had been vacant there.
She grabbed a strap and stood
Before him while
The car lurched on and on.
Mile after mile.
She looked down at him and
He gazed away;
He sat, she had to stand
There's more to say.
The scene has changed: A maiden fair
Plays lightly on a sweet guitar;
Her cheeks are red and on her breast
A bunch of fragrant roses are.
He comes at last; she grcets him and
Then leads him where
Her mama waits, half buried in
Her easy chair.
A stout old lady glances up,
He bows, and then
They both remember how and when

Diverging ways,
