BEFORE THE HOUSE

When the House convened for the az
ternoon session the Public Lands Com
mittee reported on claims advanced by
Maui sugar planters for damage caused
their fields by the government shutting
of the water while engaged in building
n road near by. The committee advis-
ed the claims be granted.
The same committee reported on
House bill 81. infranchising the Stan
dard Telephone Company, advising that
the bill pass, slightly amended. The
present system was entirely inadequate
and the committee found that a new
telephone company would be OF great
service to the country. The committee
report was then adopted.
The joint resolution Of VIM. White
for committee to go to San Francisco
TO meet President Mckinley. was
brought up for consideration. There
were smiles throughout the House and
Hoogs asked: us this reality or Is II
q joke?" Chorus answered: Reality"
and Hogs continued:
"Then ! hereby give notice that I
will introduce a bill appropriating
100000 for the expenses OF the com.
mission"
Kumalae wanted ten Representatives
Instead Of FIVE to go, but his motion
was lost. Kaniho suggested that only
IIawaiians go as that would show the
President his law about using English
was all off" Hoogs wanted every one
TO go. Shortly afterwards Hogs stat.
ed that, when he made his motion ap-
propriating 100000 for the expenses
OF the commission he thought there
was s2.500.000 in the treasury but.
since then, he had learned that there
was only forty-fve cents in the treas
ury. He would therefore withdraw his
motion. Hogs then offered one of his
| funny resolutions.

with no particular sympathy for the

married Is years, and his wife Is one
of those women who fairly revel in all
sorts Of painful imaginings and fright
full forebodings. She always makes
her will when she starts on a journey,
and she never fails to forgive all her
enemies before she trusts herself be-
hind any kind Of a horse. There has
not been a night in all the Is years Of
her married life that she hasn't either
smelled smoke or heard burglars. Last
week, in the middle of n night, the
husband felt the familiar pinch which
for Is years has calloused his arm. He
heard the familiar voice say the same
old words:
"Oh, Charles! Do get up! 1 smell
smoke"
AS usual. for after Is years Of that
sort of thing wen an ordinary man

climbed obediently out of bed and went

back some night arter honey. 1t wasn't
an Hour befo' l moved them hives out
of his reach and replaced EN- with two
hives filled with straw. l shet the old
dog up in the house that night, and
long bout midnight he begun to whine
and growl. l jest got to the winder
when the bar showed up. He was
arter that honey, and he hadn't no
time to waste. One hive wasn't huff
fur him, and he knocked both over as
soon MS he got within reach and then
made ready fur a feast. When he
found them hives hard packed with
straw, he knowed it was q joke, and
he sot up and looked SO sheepish and
mean over it that ! laughed fur half
an hour. That bar went away feelin
hurt in his feelin's, but l was suah
he'd come back ag'in some other night
and try to pay me of.
II had jest penned up a likely pig,
and that bar was bound to hev pig
meat If he couldn't hev honey. He
was suah to be back the next night,
and 80 l spent two hours greasin the
roof Of the pen with soft soap. When
I was through, it vas so slippery that
even claws wouldn't take hold. On
the second night, bout II o'clock, the
bar showed up ag'in. He had bin
thinkin Of fresh pork all the afternoon
and had got hungry over it, and arter
one look around he climbed upon the
roof Of the pen. 1t had a steep pitch to
1t, and it dropped off into a gully, and
that bar had skassly got up before he
was slidin down like a log Of wood.
He shot off the roof into the gully like
q big ball, and me and the old woman
laughed till the tears came. Three
times the bar tried it, and three times
he was dumped. l yelled at him and
called him names, and his feelin's was
hurt ag'in. He was so 'shamed bout
things that he wouldn't even fight the
dog.
II knowed the varmint wouldn't gin
up that way, but would keep comm
back till he got sunthfn. It struck me
that he'd 60 fur the chickens next, and
so l had q trap all ready fur him. He
was too cute to step into it, and arter
roamin around fur awhile he went of.
laughed at him and called him a
mighty pore bar, and he appeared SO
lonesome over it that l almost pitied
him. He didn't come back the next
might or the next, but on the third
night he showed up ag'in, and l had
another joke ready fur him. l had
headed the old dawg up in stout bari
and then wrapped the bar'l around
with barbed wire. l used up 200 feet
of wire around that bar'l, and the
barbs stuck out like quilts Of a porch.

A Rat Showed Him a Mine.

The action of q rat led N. r. Ingolds.
by to the discovery Of a rich gold mine
in Arizona. He named the property
the Rat Hole mine.
Mr.. Ingoldsby had been spending sew
eral months near Mammoth. on the
San Pedro river, In Arizona. His pur-
pose was to enjoy the hunting and
make a collection of the animals and
minerals Of the southwest. He pitched
his tent in the canyon of the San Pedro.
in the Santa Catarina mountains.
He had no neighbors and was for q
long time unable to account for the
disappearance of small articles that
he left lying about his camp. At last
he noticed that when anything was
taken something was left in its place.
This was usually a bit of stone or
wood. The culprit he found to be q
large rodent of the species known as
the trading rat. The habits of the
animal made an interesting study for
Mr.. Ingoldsby, and he often lay awake
at night to watch for his visitor.
A silver spoon was missing one morn
ing and in its place was a piece of
quartz carrying free gold. This still
more excited Nj. Ingoldsby's curiosity,
and, after several attempts, he succeed
ed in following the animal to its home.
Near by vas the ledge from which the
gold. bearing quartz had been taken.
Mr.. tngoldsby made an examination
thorough enough to prove that his
discovery vas Of considerable value

The Pie Eaters.

Pie in New England is served in
many queer ways, especially the king
If oil pies, the royal mince. Not long
ago there appeared q sign in the station
If staid, crooked and correct Boston-a
sign bearing the strange device, "Hot
Mince Pie and Ice Cream"
This is a mild combination compared
with one that was served in this city
at a midnight supper. A Welsh rab-
bit was being made, and there were
some who did not care to eat it on
crackers; no toast in the house, for it
was the fires evening out. A mince
pie was found lurking in the ice chest
md pressed into service. The rabbit
was spread over the pie, and both van
ished in a short time. Those who ate
are still afraid in the dark, for they
can imagine that the same things are
coming for them again as came during
their dreams of that wild, weird night.
A local minister tells a pie story on
himself that is a "corker." He is a
delicate man, and his wife was down
on pie for him and vetoed it for fami-
" use. Once he went to a convention
in Pittsfleld, and a dinner was served
at which there we're v kinds Of

A Dreadful Moment

A conductor on the Park line had an
experience the other day that is quite
certain to cause him many uncomforta-
BILE minutes in the future. His car
stopped at Spruce street to let a middle
aged lady n. and as she took her seat
the conductor gave the motorman two
bells. and the car shot aSad. When
the conductor entered the car, the wo-
man in question was looking out Of the
window and did not see his outstretch-
ed hand.
"Fare. please" remarked the con-
ductor.
The woman evidently did not hear
him, for she did not turn her head.
Neither did she hold out the necessary
coin
"Fare, please" said the conductor in
a louder tone.
But the woman paid no heed. Then
the conductor touched her on the shoul-
der and in a tone Of voice that rang
through the car exclaimed:
"Your fare. please, lady"
Then the woman turned hastily
around and looked at the conductor.
The knight Of the bellcord gave one
gasp and fed to the back platform.
The woman was his mother-in-law.-

was also given him by a kinsman-a

THE OLDEST

Beads. Fret Used by savaEes. Are
stiil In Vogue.
Beads are certainly the most ancient
Of all forms Of the b%edecking of the
body unless we except the field and
forest blossoms.
Nobody knows who first invented
beads. Perhaps it was some primitive
savage who found nuts or oak balls
in the forest, drilled by the wood worm,
and threaded them together OH a stalk
of grass. Anything and everything
with a hole in it served at the begin
ming for Eeads-cowrie shells, fish
teeth, claws of beasts. striped and
spotted seeds and the like. But the
great age of beads began with the In.
vention of glass, and the Egyptians.
Carthaginians and Phonicians gener-
ally were skilled craftsmen at, bead
making. Their methods were much
the same as may be seen today In
Venice or any other chief seat of the
art.
It would astonish many new wearers
of beads to learn how immense is their
production and how wide their dis
tribution. Venice alone has long been
accustomed to send forth every ten
years 100000 quintals Of beads, worth
$4,000 lire, and in many other spots
q steady manufacture is always pro.
ceeding to supply the Unsuitable de-
mands of Zanzibar. The dusky belle
must have her ornaments substantial,
since they will pass through many a
rude proof in cave and kraal. And
your well made venetian bead will
practically last forever, unchanged in
beauty. There must be plenty of beads
worn at this day in Africa which were
left there by the traders Of King Solo.
