SMALL BEGINNINGS.

The most dire calaHities usually be-
gin with a trivial cause. Mrs. O'Leary'e
COW kicks over a lantern and Chicago
is burned. The leaping channels pur-
sued by the hunter, starts a pebble
rolling and an avalanche is formed
that buries a whole village under
countless tons OF snow. A patriotic
Scotchman rears the thistle that IS his
national emblem, and sowS the whole
land with stubborn weeds. 1t is just
the same IN eur physical beings. The
greatest diseases begin with the most
trivial causes. The commoneSt thing
in the world is a cough. Yet from a
common cough spring diseases that
battle all human skill and science Just
because the cough is such n small
thing at the start it should never be
neglected, but rooted up while it can
be handled with ease. The acorn sends
up a little stcm and puts out a few
leaves. a little child can root UP this
germ OF a tree. But let the acorn
grow to the full stature of the oak,
and 1t de1es the strength of giants 10
uproot it. That's the way with the
cough. Kickapoo Cough cure Will cure
any cough. But the cure cannot begin
too soon. In nothing is delay so dan
Serous as In the treatment of q cough.
Don't put off the treatment. Begin at

Cough Cure is a pure vegetable RENE

Early yesterday morning the wind
stiffened into a gale. although 1t had
slackened its fury at times during the
previous night But with all the blow
the rainclouds were not dispelled. and
they opened up during the day. and
gave the city a heavy drenching.
Throughout the forenoon and early
part OF the afternoon the wind and
rain played at battledore and shuttle
cock. When night came the wind lied
down considerably. leaving a clear sky
from which the stars twinkled bright
Iy. Showers last night were infrequenr
and of short duration.
Every tree in Honolulu has been
stripped of its superfluous foliage since
the storm began, and people who were
priding themselves on the showings
made by their banana patches and
garden foliage have had cause TO sigh
at the wreck which the gale has made.
There is hardly a banana stalk in town
that is not frayed, torn. broken or dis
mantled, while climbing vines have
been torn away from porches and la
nais, and ferns and small plants brok-
en- piecemeai. Hedges and small trees
have suffered considerably. The grass
hut in the children's playground at
Kapiolani Park was blown down yes
terday. A big tree fell near the en-
trance to the park, and another fell
across the roadway near by. On Pen
sacola street a large number of kiawe
bushes were broken down. On several
streets torrents of water coming down
from the hills have cut deep burrows.
In the down town district several
and quite number were taken down
by the proprietors of stores, who fear
ed that they might fall and hurt pass
ersby. There was nothing but mud in
the business streets, and pedestrians
had to exhibit considerable athletic
agility in crossing to avoid mud pud-
dies, as we'll as the splashings from the
hoofs of mack horses.
The telephone company had its hands
full of trouble all day. The 'inemep
were out at daylight and worked until
nightfar. After repairing several con-
nections and increasing wires. every
thing worked like a charm for an hour
or two until new gust came and mess
ed the wires up again. Throughout the
day the greater part of Waikiki was
cut off, while communication has been
at a premium in Manoa Valley for two
days. Makiki district and Nuuanu Val
ley subscribers were discontinued much
of the time. When users Of telephones
could get a clear connection with the
central office, they transmitted lam
guage so warm that it made the tele-
phone receiver burn the official ear OF
the superintendent. It was reported
last night that about six hundi ed tele
phones were still out OF commission.

Take Heed in Tlmei

A dog belonging to DR.. A. G..
Emmer went mad last Tuesday
and was shot and killed in a room
in the building in which the Dr's
office is located, by Chief of Police
Haley Carter. Yesterday two more
dogs, which had developed symp-
toms of hydrophobia, were shot. In
view Of these occurrences it is
known that the Mayor intends to
issue an order to the police too
shoot all dogs found running at
large, whether they wear tax
collar or not. Human life must
be protected, and Mayor means to
see that it is. Therefore, people
who have dogs they prize should
see that they are kept confined.
