A Tale or Woe.

They had circus performance over al
Charley Dorsey's the other day. The hired
girl got on the rampage and after she MIXED
the cows tied the tails of two Of the fines,
cows together and turned them out to grass.
The cows did not appreciate or understand
such ties of kindred kline and one went one
way and the other another way. The tails
we're well tied and the result was that .sthc
parting gave them pain and one COW lain,
got any more tail than rabbit as the
boys would say. The other cows tail stood
the strain but il made her very sick, MIR.
Dorsey informed us, and he was afraid of
serious results.
Both were cows tina, he had been offered
s45 and $50 for and the one with the abbrc-
waited caudal appendage was damaged a,
least $40 in the sale Of her. Besides thus
losing her hy-brush jus, now in the midst of
the fly season is serious matter and Mr..
Dorsey will have to hire boy for the res,
of the summer to keep the flies off of lha,
COW. The frisky hired girl who caused all
the tronble admitted her guilt and said she
did 1t for fun and had no idea IL would
cause so much trouble. She offered to pay
the damage but as she had no money and
but little coming to her she was told to pack
her buds and absquaiulale al once.
Mr.. Dorsey came to town to have the girl
arrested but concluded that IL would not
restore the cows tail or help matters any
and only add another chapter to his tale Of
woe so he let her 60. This is an abs ,lutely
tale. In fact there are several tails mixed
up in IL. The hired Girl lost her Job. the
COW lost her tail and Mr.. Dorsey lost his
temper and publish this rs warning To
hired girls not 10 monkey with cows tails.
In fact IL IS dangerous to monkey with any
kind Of tails.

Chicago Express, No. 7. This train
was late and Johnson sat on the
track TO wait for il.
He fell asleep and failed to hear
the approach of the fast passenger
engine which hit him as he slept.
The train sped on but the engineer
saw the lights Of the freight train in
time TO avoid the collision.
a search was then made for
Johnson and he was found lying by
the side ofthe track very badly hurt.
His side was badly crushed in and
several bones of his nip as well as
thigh were fractured.
He was brought to town on a cot
and kept in the local passenger sta.
ton until about eight O'Clock when
ne was taken TO the Miners Hospital.

wreck. But sll's well that ends well
and the happy couple went on their

MURPHY CAUSED
A LOT OF FUN
Had a Hard Job Deciding Whether
or Not to Stop in
Honolulu.

Murphy was a passenger on the
Oceanic liner Sonoma from Australia
He is a comedian and has been playing
with another Irishman,~ Mack by name,
in the Australian theatres. Because
his trade is to be funny it was there
fore only natural that he should have
been funny yesterday.
few minutes before the Sonoma
was ready to sail Murphy made ar
rangements to stop over for Few
weeks in Honolulu. He got his dress
suit case out, babe his friends lavish
goodbye and stood at the head OF the
gang way Then he called a baggage
man and had his things carted ashore
A few minutes before the Sonoma
himself and waving a further fareweil
TO his friends aboard ship. Suddenly
he changed his mind. He siezed his
baggage and trotted up the gangplank
again. A steward carried his things
below and Murphy stood at the rail
again. But he was bidding fr1ends on
shore goodbye this time.
The Territorial band started playing
a Hawaiian air. Murphy's eyes opened
wide. Honolulu, loveliest village OF
the Pacific" said Murphy, Il must see
YOU" Murphy called the Portuguese
baggageman aboard again and soon MS
baggage was chasing down the gang
plank Murphy again came ashore.
The band stopped playing. He looked
at the happy lei bedecked crowd aboard
the steamer and made another break
for her deck.
This performance was repeated nan
a dozen times. Finally Murphy stayed
ashore, and unless he calls the steamer
back by a wireless message today he
will probably spend several weeks IN
Honolulu sightseeing. 1t was the OLD
story of "off again, on again, gone
aeain"-but revised by the addition OF
the words land still here"
