THE GROTESQUE
FAKIR AT WORK
THE ALLEGED CORRESPONDENCE
FROM HAWAII THAT LACKS
EVEN THE BASIS OF TRUTH.

The following has appeared in some
of the Mississippi Valley newspapers
as alleged correspondence from Hawaii.
Although 1t probably contains as many
untruths and as many misleading
statements as it possibly could in the
number of words it contains, it will
probably advertise us more than it will
hurt us:
HONOLULU, Dec. 12.-Hawaii is the
dentists paradise. The reason that the
territory is not flooded with members
of this profession is because the pros
poets are not appreciated elsewhere.
Those dentists who are so fortunate as
to be located in Hawaii are thriving
Their practice is. steadily increasing
They are becoming wealthy. The de-
mand for dental work is due to the Ha-
waiians desiring to remove all traces
of one of their ancient customs.
1t was formerly the custom among
Hawaiians, and in certain localities it
is observed to this day, to go into
mourning for people by knocking the
front teeth. Whenever a relative or
dear friend died one of the front teeth
would be sacrificed. Four teeth was
generally the limit for one person to
destroy. The appearance caused by the
absence of the front teeth was, in many
instances, grotesque, especially when
the eyeteeth were of more than average
size. For generations this custom was
one of the most common, as well rs
important. Nothing was thought of it.
Old and young alike would be called
upon to make the sacrifice. The Ha-
waiian race has naturally beautiful
teeth, and this unnatural custom dis
figured men and women alike.
Within recent years the custom has
of
younger generation have adopted the
manners and ways of the white race.
One of the earliest things they saw
was the very apparent fact that their
appearance would be greatly enhanced
if they were provided with front teeth.
A demand for delicate dental work re-
suited. The young girls were especial
ly eager to have their missing teeth
replaced.
The demands were varied, and in the
majority of instances expensive. The
work was of a very delicate character.
The cost did not deter them in the
least. The result has been that within
the last three or four years girl with
her front teeth missing is a very IN
common sight in the city of Honolulu.
The desire to have the error of the
early custom remedied is not restricted
to the younger generation. Older peo-
pie have had the same dental opera
lions performed for them.
The candidates for new teeth seem
unlimited. Every dentist in Honolulu
is kept busy. In districts on the other
islands the dem rd for new teeth is
not so general. A travelling dentist
would coin money if he could but catch
the fancy of his patrons. 1t does not
follow, however, that all Hawaiians
are minus their front teeth Thousands
of them were never subjected to such
painful operation, and invariably they
are the possessOrs of magnificent mo-
lars.

He finished his task and rose to
withdraw. Lois had been watching his
skill with semi-envious eyes and, ac-
companied by Mrs. Glynn, followed
him from the room. The prisoner ap-
parently was asleep. He had not an
swered the surgeons latter observa-
tions with as much as the CULVER Of
an eyelash. In the hallway Thomp-
son paused and looked about him.
Then his glance fell ON the girl and he
said:
THE man is hurt badly enough, but
there is no immediate danger. I shall
leave bandages with you. Change them
only when it is absolutely necessary.
Here are the few simple medicines he
will require and you will know how to
give them from the directions written
on them. Quirino, who Is with him,

The patient walked as they entered and
his eyes were Immediately fastened on
the girl. Apparently he was not aware
that the others had entered. The sur
geon glanced at the bandages, then
looked sharply up.

NO." she said, noting the tone and
slightly resenting it. "The man would

The surgeon bowed his head in
apology.
st is a pity that you did not con-
tinue it, Miss English" he remarked.
"You would have been a credit to that
noble profession. Nobody could have
adjusted these bandages more expertly.
What has been the treatment?'
Thorough cleansing with sterilized
and carbolized water-I had only car
bolic acid as an antiseptic--and a
sleeping draught. He seemed nearly
exhausted"
Better and better" was the cordial
response. You have done your best
with the means at hand. 1 will ex-
anime the wound, however, and re-
place these bandages with some of my
own, which are aseptic and prepared
specially for such cases."
He rapidly unrolled the bandages.

He examined this skin closely, raising
it between his thumb and forefinger
and then glanced keenly at the pris-
oner's face.
The bullet went through much too
high to involve the lung" he said.
Harding always believes that the
work of his soldiers is more deadly
than the work Of other men"
The prisoner spoke abruptly, in a
deep resonant voice, with his eyes
closed.

He seems young to be a criminal"
Mrs. Glynn ventured.
Not at ALL" was the brusque reply.
Hes nearly thirty and If he isn't
man now he never will be a man. They
begin early for the most part and out
here they quit early. Winchesters and
strong drink and the summer sun are
responsible for their removals. Ihey
go to make room for others. Moreover,
certain men reach stage where
crimes of daring or violence are nec-
essary to them. They must have SEN
sation. Gentlemanly criminals OF the
border are mostly Of this KIND. ihelr
lives are short, but they move quickly.

Lois had listened to the talk WIN

seemed to her that something new ana
strange was coming into her LIE.
There fingered in her ears the SOUND
of the words, '"No conntry!" and she
half whispered to herself the protest;

She shivered half slightly as If cold,
but reused herself as the surgeon

day, but that doesn't often happen
Good fellow, Thompson, and no better
surgeon anywhere. Express my adieus

trust this prlsoner-chap when he gets
able to move about and, above ALL
don't take any parole from him. A pa
role would be only so much air. Good
bye"
The kindly officer swung his short
person into the saddle, gave the COM
mand and the troop moved northeast
ward at a trot.
Entering the sick-room with Mrs
Glynn, Lois saw stretched upon low
single bed long form, swathed to the
shoulders in night robe and covered
with a sheet to the chin. 1t had
been already unclothed by some of the
Mexicans and the red-stained gar
ments had been removed. Con-
sciousness was returning as the re-
suit of liberal dose of brandy forced
between the pale lips. from which now
and then a faint moan came She saw
a man, young and tall, with huge
shoulders, a great barred neck and long
muscular arms and deep chest-evi-
IDENTIFY a powerful and active man. He
was young, with handsome, refined
face of Greek outline. 1t was pale now
and the antique look of it was helped
by mass of short clustering golden
curls which hung over the brow. This
face was at once daring strong, mas
culine and poetic-a remarkable face.
The firmly hung jaw and level brows
denoted will power and the clenching
of the strong. even white teeth, show
ing slightly between the parted lips,
proved that all of his reserve force was
battling to repress any outward indi-
cation of pain. He looked stoical so
lying, and once when his eyes opened
the girl saw that they were large,
steady, clear and of a gray so dark
that they were almost black. She
stopped at once with pair of scissors
in her right hand and, without speak
ing ripped his shirt apart for space
of twelve inches. laying bare the round
hole made by the bullet. Inspection
showed her that it had gone through
without check, making clear orifice.

She at once bathed the wound lightly
and deftly in water which had been
sterilized by boiling and slightly car
bolized with acid. Bandages, sterilized
in the same way, were applied and fas-
tened with professional rapidity. The
left arm was placed over the chest and
so bound. Cool cloths were placed On
the hot forehead, for fever had already
set in, and light sleeping potion was
administered -.
1T isn't first aid to the wounded "
she said, smiling brightly at Mrs.
Glynn. "Unfortunately good many
hours have elapsed since he was hurt.
However, I think we shall do very
well. He seems young and strong"
There was rather an odd tone of au-
thority and confidence in the voice
which the lady of the rancho was quick
to notice. but she said nothing and to-
gether they withdrew, leaving a gentle
Mexican shepherd named Quirino in
stalled as nurse, with strict injunctions
to keep quiet while the prisoner slept
and to call Miss English when he
awoke. The eyes Of the captive had
been fixed upon Lois while she bathed
and dressed the wound. He took the
medicine without question. The eyes
followed her to the door and remained
fixed upon it for some moments after
it was closed He never spoke a word
and the firm jaw remained set. Then
his lids fell down slowly and he sank
into slumber.
Late that afternoon government
ambulance drawn by four mules. each
branded "U. S." rolled to the rancho
house and from it descended a long,
face burned nearly black by the south
western suns. He brought a large
leather case with him. He was clad
in canvas trousers, flannel shirt. the
blue uniform coat of his rank and the
universal black military som brero. He
bowed politely to the two women who
stood upon the porch, shook hands
with Mrs. Glynn and acknowledged his
introduction to Lois with another bow
II understand he said in a matter
of fact voice, that you have a SNUG
gler here, shot through Just above the
left lung. I'm sorry that could not
arrive sooner Such a life probably
was not worth saving, but we like to
do our best. 1t Is one Of the many
curses of the profession that we feel
obliged to treat all sorts of people,
many of whom would be much better
dead than alive. When did he die?"
The rancho hostess looked at him in
amazement; Lois laughed
HE isn't dead" she said. He
seems very strong"
What" exclaimed the surgeon.
Lived all Of these hours with wound
like that and without treatment! 1t is
true that the Mexicans sometimes show
wonderful resistance to shock"
THE prisoner is not a Mexican"
Lois returned. Il think he is Ameri-
can like ourselves. Come and see him"
She led the way to the sick room.

Harry Me Gee and Chas Nelson arrived from Slate Creek this morning. According to their report, things do not look very good at the dig gings. The principal trouble seems to be the lack of provisions, and for that reason those who came to the diggings late did not secure work All the old timers are work ing, but there are number of men idle. Miller Gulch is short of water, with very little prospect of an increase on the upper claims as the ground is still frozen and GOV cred with snow. Fred Dates claim is showing up well, but the reported amount per pan is too good 10 be true All claims from the "Foui Black Dogs" up to Miller Gulch are working, likewise Kramers, Jack | Millers and Garrets on Miller Guich, but on an average only ten men are employed on the two shifts.

Late News From Chittyna Confirm First Report
 OfRiCh PlacerS.
WORK BEGUN!Ar NEW CAMP.

MT. Ed. Hormcl, who returned from Young Creek last sunday. full ly confirms all that has been re- ported of the new strike at the head of tine Chittyna.
 Hormel went in late last spring as cook for party working on one of the large copper properties, hut broke loose and joined the rush. He located some good claims, and was then compelled to come out to Valdez, as he had no outfit. He did some banning with shovel, and the results satisfied him that his property is all right. He brought out Il small quantity of the gold with him, which looks very good, and is not SD flat and fiaky as Slate Creek gold The sample suggests a land of coarse gold. Some @sf the other boys, who did nothing more than to pan, have some very nice nuggets to show for their trouble.
 From Harry Fitch, who has been very near there all the season, we learn that ra-e ground is fully as rich as reported, and he believes that when they settle down to work with sluice boxes it will prove far better than their expectations.
 Up to the time Harry left, Young Creek and Rex Gulch were looked upon as, the best holdings; whether they will prove up as such remains to be seen,
 There is plenty of timber every whre in the neighborhoOd of the claims, and at the time Harry left the men were cutting down trees and getting ready to whip-saw. This will be d slow proceeding this season as there were but few saws Brought lnato the country, and those will have to be lent around.
 There is first class head of water on all the streams. so there will be no trouble from that source. MT. Amy. who was on Dan and se~eral other of the adjacent creeks last year, and was very near there this year, confirms all the state .nen., of Harry Fitch. Mir. Amy located four claHaas on Dan Creek last season, with which he is we'll satisfied. Mir. Amy's time is fully taken up in attending to his copper property, 50 that he is unable to give his personal attention to placer mining, but the reports he receives from those on the ground are very tiatteri@g.
