Why He Didn't Swear

Chicago Tribune: The man who had
gained world wide celebrity by re-
framing from swearing when the end

lowed LOAD of apples to roll to the
bottom OF IA steep hill was talking
about it IA few years afterward,
There's always been a wrong impress
sion about that matter, he said with
chagrin. ~ didn't say swearing
wouldn't do the subject justice. All
said was, What the Sam HiIl's the
use?" The apples weren't mine, and
the wagon wasn't mine. | was workin'
by the day. ! didn't care IA durn
where the apples rolled to. Great
Scott, If ia felt like swearin'
could have swore hole in the ground
six feet deep right then and there, and
If I'd known there would be so much
fuss made about it would have idone

HIS CLOTHES STRIPPED OFF
John o. Jones Caught in a Line Shaft
at Cement Plant Escaped Death
by His Clothes Tearing.

The only thing that saved John o.
Jones. Welshman employed at the
cement plant. from instant death Sun
day was the fact that his clothes we're
torn into shreds.
Details of how the accident happen
ed are hard to obtain as the man
speaks but little English and the acci-
dent happened at night in a remote
and unfrequented part of the works.
The report told the REGISTER is that
Jones was working in the stone crush
ing department by himself. The cras r
and the whirr of machinery drowned
any cry he may have made when he
discovered that he was caught in the
line shaft which drives the powerful
machinery. Insome mannerh his cloth
ing caught from behind and he was in
stantly whirling about the revolving
shaft
Luckily the few clothes he wore we're
old and yielded to the strain brought
on them. A few revolutions and Jones
was stripped Of his clothes, only his
shoes and stockings and little rim
of one trouser leg remaining on him.
How long a time was consumed in the
operation, or how long he lay stunned
Is not known. One report says he
stopped the machinery after coming
TO, went to the boarding house near
the works, stark naked, and secured
his jumpers, returned to work, started
the machinery and then tainted, At
any rate he was found where he work
ed, unconscious, and taken to his
boarding house where DR.. Bolton at
tended to his injuries. The doctor
says he is bruised severely about the
shoulders, breast and hips, but seemed
to be resting we'll mex tmorning and
perhaps, by good fortune, will not be
seriously injured by his most unusunl
and perilous experience.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-04-12

The subject of pawnbroking is con-
stantly coming up in one shape or an
other There is a great deal or this
kind of work done illegally throughout
the Islands, and especially in Honolulu.
In all other parts of the world the
pawnbroking business is licensed and
the amount which the pawnbroker can
charge is regulated. Here it is no I'M
common thing for one of these blood
suckers to charge ten per cent month,
one hundred and twenty per cent a year
upon temporary accommodation, for
which full security is exacted. The
people who borrow are generally young
men, and once in the hands of these
rascals, they seldom get on their legs
again. A proper pawnbroking act
would put stop to a great deal of ex-
tortion.

A LOT OF RUBBISH.

The utter nonsense which people can
sometimes write through hasty gener-
alizations is brought to mind by a let
ter which has recently appeared in the
Medical Record" The author of this
precious effusion is one DR.. Schneider
of Cordova, Mexico. Whoever DR..
Schneider may be he certainly does not
know the tropics As the doctors let
ter is being used in many anti-expan-
. sion papers on the mainland as an
argument against the occupation of
tropical countries, it is worth some no
tice, which, otherwise it really does not
deserve.
DIR, Semeleder puts forth the follow
ing thesis
''Of all the breadstuffs necessary for
man the tropics furnish only corn and
rice, and these only to a limited ex-
tent They have no wheat, rye, or -ota-
toes. The banana may be, as Hum
boldt says, 1873 times more productive
than wheat, and A times more so than
potatoes, yet it can not replace either
as food. Nor can white men live for
any length of. time on rice and corn
alone, nor on bananas and palm nuts
Native tropical foods can only hold
body and soul together, as they fur
nish but little Vgor, energy, and DOW
er. No machines an do good work with
poor fuel. man who has neither
bread nor meat can not get life and
strength and push from tea. coffee. su-
gar, vanilla, and all the precious Spices
Tropical products are merely CONNER
cial luXuries, and + the inhabitants of
cold chimes did not buy them the people
OF the tropics would lack the neces-
sarles and comforts Of life and would
yet choke with their own riches"
me tropics 1t is true do not furnish
wheat, rye or potatoes" but as food
stuff one would question the latter. The
sweet potato and the yam, which is to
be found in every part of the tropics,
is Infinitely better fOodstuff than the
irish potato, so called The statement
That no white man" can live on "rice
and corn alone" is pure bosh. No
man living in a tropical country
would be forced to live on "rice and
corn alone" because the tropics fur
nlsh an abundance of food and a great
variety, but even if a man We're for
time forced to live on "rice and corn
alone" he would keep up his vitality
ana ms physique as well as if he were
Ted upon wheat, rye or potatoes"
If the tropics may produce such com
mercial Injuries as coffee, and vanilla,
II may be pointed out that tea is not
necessarily a tropical product, nor for
the matter of that is sugar. Tea grows
best in the temperate zone, and the
main part of the sugar now used
throughout the world comes from beets,
not tropical product. But native tro-
pical foods can do a great deal more
than keep body and soul together. The
tropical man is well developed and
strong. Take the natives of these ISL
ands, of Samoa, the primitive Mexcans
the jewellers in tropical Africa, strength
is one of the greatest attributes of them.
The intellectual capacity is not so de-
veloped from the simple fact that food
was, in their primitive state, so easy
to obtain, that it did require that skill
or call forth that energy to obtain it
which is required of those who live in
harsher regions. In mere physical pro-

AN oVERBEARING MAN.

The Chinese and their consul do not
seem to be on very good terms. The
free Chinese, who have imbibed Ameri-
can views by long residence among us,
see many things to criticise in Consul
Yang. They claim that he has used ex-
tortion upon them by charging ten dol
lars or more from every Chinaman who
wanted to bring his wife from the Gel
estial Empire.
That Consul Yang is a typical MEM
her of the Chinese official class anyone
would gather who has spent some short
time in his society He belongs to the
class that is just at present engaged
in bamboozling the Western powers.
He is utterly oblivious of any rights
for free thought among his countrymen
and he would sit calmly by while every
reformer had his head sliced off and
probably would rather enjoy the spec
tacle.
The reforming Chinese, however, have
the courage of their opinions, and in
spite of the threat to punish their fam
lilies, relatives and friends IN China,
they very determinedly refuse to sub
scribe to the demands of Consul Yang.
Among these Chinese are some of our
most respected citizens. while the
young men have attended our schools
gained distinction in. them and have
very thoroughly adopted Western ideas
That the city should have sympathy
with these young men, goes without
saying. OF course Consul Yang's word
goes far in China, Here it is of no va.
7ue at all. This is a part of the United
States and no one cares the snap of q
finger for what a man like Yang might
say. But is does seem somewhat over.
bearing for the representative of for.
eign power to threaten the lives and
liberties of those allied to dwellers il
our midst, unless the said jewellers
should obey his behests. 1t is only an
other Illustration of the peculiar work
ing of the Chinese mind. Here is China
on her knees to the Western powers anC
here is the Chinese Consul threatening
with heavy punishment the relatives O.
naturalized American citizens, as wei
as those who still claim allegiance t.

The extension of Fort Street seems to
have been forgotten or laid aside. If
ever the measure is carried through it
will relieve the very great congestion
of the Pauoa valley road and will add
a handsome avenue to the city. 1t is
reported that the block in the matter is
caused by a greedy land holder. If we
had a municipality here, that land hold
er would very soon have to give in.
City ordinance would deal with him in
fine shape.

The bill to give the ex-Queen, trea-
sury bonds to the amount of $4,000
does not work, as it is in conflict with
the organic act. The alternative bill
is granting an income of $1,000. for the
next biennial period, but this is not
what the Home Rulers want. They are
by no means sure of majority in 1902,
so they would like to fix up something
now, which would hold over, whatever
might happen.

operate with the canal company, thus
l~essening the burden Of expense In
the enormous enterprise. The com
pany has filed upon nearly $50 ,O0l
acres of government domain and IN
addition TO that il is negotiating foi
the purchase OF 10000 acres from
what is known as the Blythe estate
Most of this land is a barren desert
which, however, can be made to bloom
and become highly fertile and pro
ductlye when literally watered. The
cost of the canal system, including
a dam across the Colorado river, will
not be less than 81 900, 600, and IL Is
said that the amount involved in the
purchase Of the Blythe estate approx
imates $3.50, 600.

railway corporations that have found
New Mexico so profitable a held Tor

II Is known not only to our own peo'
pie, but to the officers Of these great
corporations, that our legislatures
have never failed to offer them every
inducement TO invest their money In
railway construction. Ever since the
first pound of railway steel was laid In
New Mexico, people have done all In
their power TO encourage railway cap
ital. We have exempted them from
taxation and have given them right
OF way. Our counties have voted them
aid in bonds and have subscribed lib.
orally in cash. In fact, no stone has
been left unturncd TO create a good
impression. Our laws Of every kind
are more liberal than in any other po
litical Jurisdiction Here they get
every protection that capital could
hope for. When compared with Tex
as, Kansas and Colorado, New Mexico
is certainly the friend Of capital,
Our people should ask these corpor
ations to lend a helping hand. They
