Hon. N. D. Arnot.

In another column under the proper
heading appears the announcement of
N. d. Arnot, Independent candidate
for Judge of the Superior Court of
Alpine county, California. This Office
is one of vast Importance to the people
of Alpine county, and, if we may Judge
by the number of times Judge Arnot
has been called to preside over the SUI
perior Court in other counties of the
state, it is of great Importance to many
people outside the boundary lines of
Alpine.
1t will be remembered that few
years ago the people of Inyo county
tried very hard to induce Mr.. Arnot to
move there and take the office of SUI
perior Judge, but Notwithstanding the
increase of salary offered, he could not
make up his mind to leave his old
home in Markleeville.
At that time his ability and SPLEEN
did record on the bench was gen.
orally recognized, and he received
complimentary notices from the press
of half dozen counties of California.
Now that he is again before the people
as a candidate for reelection, his eff
fcient public service in seven or eight
counties is again being commented on
most fayorably by the press, and the
bar of Ell Dorado county pronounces
him one of the most distinguished
Judges in The State of California.
A man who serves the people as well
as Mr. Arnot has served them should
never be in any danger of missing the,
reward of his efforts. He has an hon
orable judicial record, extending over
nearly a quarter of a century, is a cit
izen of the highest standing and the
head of large family. BY re-electing
him the people of Alpine county will
serve their own best interests by re-
tanning the services of an able and i'm
partial Judge.

FOR ATToRNEY-GENERAL
A Deserving Young Man, the Dem
ocratic-Silver Nominee

We take pleasure in reproducing be-
low very complimentary notice of
James 9. Sweeney, the Fusion nomi-
nee for Attorney-Gen Mr.. Swee-
ney is one of the brightest young men
of the State and is a brilliant speaker.
The ADpeat recommends Mr.. Sweeney
as follows: ''Mr. sweeney was born
and raised IN Carson and attended and
graduated from the public schools of
this community. He afterwards pur-
sued a classical collegiate course of
study at st. Mary's in California, from
which College he graduated with honor
and the degree of B. A.
"From here he took up the study of
law, taking thorough practical office
course, and had the honor of being the
youngest attorney ever admitted to
the bar of Nevada.
"From here he went to the Columbia
Law University of Washington, D. c.,
where he further pursued his study of
the law, and graduated from that insti
tuition with flying co.ors.
"Since then he has made his home in
Carson and enjoys practice second to
that of no young lawyer in the State.
To natural aptitude for his profess
sion he unites a degree of ability
rare in SO young man.
1.-TWO years ago Mr.. Sweeney was
elected to the Assembly from Ormsby
county, polling higher vote than the
Bryan electoral ticket. He represented
faithfully the interests of his county
and the State as well. AS chairman of
the Judiciary committee he had a hand
in shaping the course of much of the
most important legislation of the ses-
sion, and his own measure, Assembly
Resolution No. IL providing for the
taxation of patented mines, mortgages
and mortgaged property, has won for
him friendship of the poor miners of
the State, as well as the farmers who
desire to have their over burdens of
taxation lightened
"The attitude of Mr.. Sweeney to-
wards union labor and of union labor
towards him is illustrated by the fact
that the Virginia City Miners Union
selected him for the securing of sign
ers in Ormsby county for the Chinese
exclusion act, in which they were SO
highly interested. That he performed
the task assigned to him faithfully and
well goes without saying.
"Indeed, devotion to duty is his
chief characteristic, and higher rec
ommendation no candidate before the
poole can receive. Honest, independ-
ent and gorgeous he will, if elected,
enter upon the performance of the
duties of his office, trammeled by no
pledge, bound by no promise save one
Ito perform those duties faithfully
and conscientiously to the best in
terests of the people of Nevada

Probable Increased Majority.

Mr.. Newlands' majority over Mr..
Harrington two years ago was 1885.
Neither the Fowler nor the Hill bill
was an issue at that time as they both
are IN the present campaign, Mr.. Far
rington's declaration to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The greater impor-
lance of the present issue and their
bearing upon the most vital interests
of the State, laying aside the personal
ity ofthe candidates, ought to insure
Mr.. Van Duzer a larger majority than
was received by Mr.. Newlands in 1900.
1t is estimated that there will be about
1900 more votes cast this year than two
years ago, and the majority for the
Fusion Congressional candidate ought
to increase in at least that proportion.

making a scarecrow of himself, so that
when the horse came up and met that
obstruction he swerved and plunged
into the blackberry bushes along the
fence. But only for a second. As
Diavolo swerved back again toward
the road the boy jumped for the bride.
Hanging on to name and bride with
both of his hard. wiry little hands,
Basil proved such a handicap to the
speed of the crazed animal that in
second. unable to make any Roadway,
he had come to a dead stop on the
roadside sward.

must travel fast or the incoming wave
will swamp it and send it whirling
ashore, leaving its opponents to swim
to the beach as best they can. But
If the canoe is carefully steered and
the boys work their paddles quickly
enough, the wave will pick it up gent
ly and send it darting to the beach on
an even keel From the time the wave
picks up the canoe it is like coasting
down hill of water, as the boat flies
down the foaming declivity to the shin
ing, sandy beach.
In old times the men and boys used
to go out beyond the breakers on
boards and ride the incoming waves to
shore. So expert were they in hand

they were on the crest of a wave, they
could even stand on them for a few
seconds. In the more remote parts of
Hawaii boys may still be seen disport-

these surf-boards, but in the more pop

HOW BASIL BECAME
A KNIGHT
He Did Not Know 1t Until after 1t Had
Happened.

By ELEANOR WADDLE.

The cat and the boy were flung to-
gether into a heap of PROSTATE misery
on the conservatory floor. The boy was
sobbing as If his little heart would
break, and the cat was playing chief
sympathizer.
II don't care" moaned Basil, burying
his tear-stained face in the cats tiger
striped hide. IT'S a mean shame to

promising things! He told me l should

The cat lying there in his favorite
Sphinx attitude blinked wisely and
purred on sympathetically.

ton of these children a few years ago.
But now the same flag that waves over
your schoolhouse waves over hundreds
and hundreds of schoolhouses scat
tered among islands lying thousands
of miles away in the tropic seas, and
black, brown, white and copper-colored
children in Porto Rico, Tutuila, Hawaii
and the Philippines are puzzling to-day
over the same sum in decimal frac-
tons that you are.
If you will look at your geography
you will find, near the middle of the
Pacific ocean, group of islands called
Hawaii. The larger islands lie just
south of the Tropic of Cancer. while
some of the smaller ones extend north
of ii. Though these islands had been
seen by white men before, it was Capt.
Cook. the man who first sailed around
the world, who brought them to the at
tention of the people living in other
lands. 1t was while our Revolutionary
War was going on, and the very year

and the two wrestlers stand facing
each other. Then they raise their arms
and, clasping each others hands, try
without touching any other parts of
the body, to push each other of the
mat. The one who succeeds wins the
bout.
Another Hawaiian game which used
to be popular, but which is now fast
disappearing even in the remote dis
trcts before the superior attractions
of baseball and football, was the bowl
ing of fat, round stones between two
sticks stuck upright in the ground, a
few inches apart, about 200 feet away

Hawaiian boys used to be very ex-
pert at throwing the javelin, a long,
slender piece of hard wood. Two boys
would face each other some distance
apart and one would hurl the javelin
directly at his opponent. The other
boy would endeavor to catch the piece

Evelyn's route through the trees lay

Il can deny you nothing!" replied
BasiPs uncle, indulgently.
Basil had struck out to the highway
from the woods and had gone about
two-thirds of the distance when he
climbed up on the fence to rest, the cat
following him. He sat there pitching
stones at the sparrows taking dust
baths in the middle of the road. Pres
emily the cat gave a. swift jump to-
ward the sparrows, but instead of at
lacking them stood facing the distant
wood, whence came the sound of adj
vancing hoofs. Then he turned toward
Basil and, waving his yellow tail back
and forth, said "mi-aui" If he had

ing and sickness was everywhere, but
the King did the best he could for all.
He even sold his horses and jewelry
to buy food for his people, and he sent
many messengers among them to con-
sole and encourage them; but when
winter came even people who had been
considered rich had sometimes only
bread and water to dine on.
One more spring came around, and
the season began SO finely that every
body was hopeful. But hardly had the
peasants begun work in their fields
whe nthe rain came down. The his
tories of Jolly Land record that Il
rained more or less every day for nine

and now the disheartened people cried
out to each other:
Alas! but great famine Is upon the
land! Before another season comes
few of us will be left alive. 1t seems
that curse has been put upon u.s."
To show how poor the people had be-

himself had only bread and water and

cost 81, and it was hard to buy even
at that price.

This last word, uttered in an AVA

for the thought of bear. especially af-
ter p. m. filled Basil with terror
The door opened with a swift flour
ish, and a good-looking young fellow
who evidently had been disturbed at
his breakfast, for he carried his nap

stared in angrily.

other sternly you stop that roaring

This was too much for the aggrieved
Basil. Rising to his full hight, he
shouted at his tormentor:

The Hawaiian child's favorite dell
cacy is poi. He is as fond of poi as
you are of pie.
Poi is made from the taro which is
a tough, stem-like root, cultivated in
Hawaii just as potatoes are here. The
taro root is grounded in wooden
troughs with a wooden pestle until II
is like -four, and then mixed with wa
ter and made into a paste. 1t is sad,
but true, that most Hawaiian children
eat this poi with their fingers instead
of using a fork, which shows that
they have something yet to learn.
But even IL they do eat poi with their
fingers, the Hawaiian children, espe-
cially those of native blood, are always
polite and respectful to their elders,
and the boys are taught to lift their
hats to strangers whom they meet rid
ing along the country roads.
Among the children attending school
in Hawaii are more than a thousand
Chinese boys and girls, and the teach
ers say they are among the brightest
pupils. There also are about 1000
Portuguese children whose fathers
work on the big plantations.
