HAD LIVELY TILT.

Attorney Robinson "hooked
up" with Chester Doyle this
morning in the police court. The
occasion was the examination
of a japanese named Kimura on
a charge of stealing some jewel
ry from the residence of Mrs.
Olds. Mr.. Robinson went at
Doyle without gloves, but Doyle
was amply able to take care of
himself in the airy, fairy, per-
siflage line, as Robinson soon
discovered. Doyle had testified
that the defendant had taken
practically everything from the
house. Robinson insisted that
this statement be qualified.
"Well, did the defendant take
a red-hot stove?" asked Judge
Wilcox.
mo" replied Doyle, "he didn't
have a pair of asbestos gloves"
and the prisoner was committed
to the Circuit Court for trial.

WILL HAVE ROUGH TRIP.

1t is more than likely that the pas
sengers on the outward bound steam
ers will have rough trips tonight. The
weather in both the Molokai and Ha
waii channels is reported as very rough
and the large crowd that departed on
the Claudine today will not enjoy the
seasickness that probably will come TO
the majority of them.

SAW THE NEW KINAU.

S. e. p. Taylor visited the
Fulton Iron Works during his
recent trip to San Francisco.
He says that the renOVltions to
the Kinau have been very COM
plete and the old boat will
hardly be recognized when she
arrives next month. One very
important change that has been
made in her, but which will not
be visible to the eye, is the ad-
dition of bilge keels. These
keels extend about Is to 20 in
ches from the vessel and will
make her much steadier. 1t is
feared that they may also check
her speed somewhat. The inn
preston seemed to be that the
Kinau would be about a knot to
a knot and a half faster when
she left the Fulton Iron Works.
She is expected to sail for Ho-
nolulu shortly after November

cause she had no more skeletons.
But at this moment there entered
tall, handsome fellow with black, rip
ping hair. She smiled and asked him
to be seated. He sat down, and then
in a businesslike manner told her
that he had come to apply for the
city editorship. She answered him
with a start and a gasp. Was 1t pos
sible that So fine a man had come
to look for death? He smiled at her.
81 understand your situation" said
he, land / am determined to help
you. 1 have had considerable expe-
rience in this sort of work. My name
is Ralph Hicks"
She seized his hand. He was TIE
one man who could dare to print the
news. And she engaged him.
The people were astonished to read
that Ralph Hicks had taken the news
end of the Dispatch. He printed a
card in which he said: 1T has long
been my desire to live in this town,
and l hope that I shall be permit
ted to be one of you. l am not nat
urally bloodthirsty, and l can prove
that have never looked for a fight.
Of course there are times when |
feel disposed to shed blood. | sup
pose we are all that way, more or
less, but l never bleed man Just to
observe the crimson tide. And, as I
say, l hope that you will permit me
10 I
going to try, but l want it under
stood that 1 am going to print the
news"
And he did. There were mutterings
and scowlings-and some of the des-
perate threatened him, but nothing
was done, and within short time
Ralph had won the hearts of the peo.
pie, and whenever two men thought
it was necessary to fight one would
suggest that it be left to the decision
of Ralph whether or not the fight
ought to take place, and it was
agreed by the authorities that he had
been the cause of many reconcilia-
tions in the community. Lelane was
happy in her work, for her paper was
prosperous. But was that all that
made her happy-the prosperity OF
her paper? Was it not the fact
that within the eyes of Ralph she
saw tender glow whenever he
looked at her? One night they were
sitting alone in the editorial room.
Ralph had ceased to write and was
musing. Suddenly he got up, walked
over to Lelane's desk, and without
embarrassing preliminaries said: 81
love you and beg of you to be my
wife"
"Oh," was all size answered at that
time, but a sweet understanding
came to them, there alone in the
midnight of the "sanctum."

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

fisheries of our Pacific coast states

A single page of Charles Lambs
handwriting, containing his sisters

The construction of the Cartha-
ginian roads differed so materially
from that of the Roman highways
that it is an easy matter for anti
quarians to distinguish between the
two.
A California newspaper estimates
that there are in this country about
100,000,OOO acres of arid land that can
be made fruitful by means of irriga-
tion-land enough to support pop
ulation of 75,OOO,OOO.
The new method of cultivating to-
bacco in Connecticut by inclosing the
fields entirely within cheesecloth COW
ering costs $3.50 an acre; but the to-
bacco thus raised sells for more than
twice as much per pound as that
grown outside.
This is one of the rules adopted by
the boss BARRIERS of New York city:
BARRIERS must keep their mouths

The metric system is already per-
missive and legal in Great Britain

increase his foreign trade is entirely
at liberty to make his goods with
metric dimensions and to invoice
them in metric measures.

was affable and inclined to be con-
ciliatory, but the angel said that he
wasn't feeling very well, having just
got up from a shake-down of chills
and fever, and he thought that 1T
tie fresh blood was about what he
needed. Hicks asked him if a doctor
had given him that sort of a pre-
scription, and the angel lowed" that
he had, and then the ground was
stepped off, and Hicks shot the angel
between the eyes, and the coroner
declared that it was a good shot.
This was also printed, and by this
time Hicks was at the threshold of
reputation. Sometimes in society, at
receptions or at teas, Miss Lelane
was asked if she had heard anything
more of that fellow Hicks. Everyone
was interested in him.
The skeleton would once in awhile
bring in a piece of news. No one
thought of killing him, yet they made
it announcement. One man hit him
with a mallet and dislocated his hip,
and laid him up for a day or two,
and another fellow knocked him
down, just to hear him rattle, but
otherwise no damage was done. Still
his position was often embarrassing.
So he said that he believed he would
resign. Lelane urged him to remain
a day or two longer, till she could
find another skeleton, or some
other physical unfortunate, immuned
against attack. He said that he was
willing to stay till his other hip was
dislocated, but after that she would
have to make other arrangements.
He went, out and just then came an
other communication regarding Ralph
Hicks. He was on railway train
when three robbers came in with pis-
tolls and demanded money or life.
Men fell down and the train was at
the mercy of the robbers till Hicks,
who had been taking a nap, awOke.
Then the scene changed. He was so
tickled to find something useful to
do that he broke out into a rude
laughter. But he did not stop at this
He shot two of the robbers, tied the
other one, threw him upon the wood
box and told the conductor that he
might go ahead whenever he got
ready. This piece of news ticliled the
town and the name of Hicks was
heard in every gathering. Two days
later the skeleton came in, lmping,
and said that his other hip had been
dislocated and that it was now time
for him to go. She paid him off and
he went out, and Lelane sighed be-

A T the time when the Dispatch
Lelane Graham the outlook for the
paper was not good. For the paper
well, yes, with all the advertising III
town of $4,000, city printing and
political patronage. But where the
bad outlook came in was with the
city editor, which meant the entire
local staff. Within nine months four
city editors had been killed on the
street, and no wonder that a con-
temporary said that the paper was
rightly named the Dispatch.
In the part of the country where
the Dispatch was printed silence
could discount truth as a virtue 1t
made no difference what a man might
know-it was what he said that got
him into trouble. But how was it
possible to print the news without
saying something, and was it likely
that one could keep on saying some
thing without treading upon the
corns of an occasional truth? 1t is
a fact that two men were hanged
by law for assassinating local stats
of the Dispatch, but that did not
preserve the life of another local
staff two weeks later. Miss Lelane
was a handsome. tender-hearted
young woman, just out of a famous
school, where she studied botany and
vivisected frogs, but she had not been
taught that it was right to kill men.
So, upon taking charge of the paper,
she could not help but feel certain
responsibility, not to say anxiety.
She could not herself slop around in
all sorts of weather and get the
news. OF course she could edit the
paper-anyone could do that, as nine
tenths of the politicians in the dis
trict were ready to swear; but any
one would not dare to gather the
news. While sitting at her desk the
first morning after taking active con.
troll she heard cough, and, looking
up, saw standing near her a thing
that looked like a yellow ghost. She
stared at it, not over frightened, hav-

bowed and said that he had come to
offer his services as city editor. And
the idea that it would be well to en-
ploy him occurred to her. No one
could have the heart to murder that
skeleton. So she hired him and told
him to go out and get the truth, for
be it known that a community where
the publication of truth is the most
dangerous, is the place where truth
is most demanded and most appre-
ciated by newspaper readers. The

Whisper words that courage in some
