CORN BREAD.
Fond Reco1lections of the Days OF
the Uoecake and FIepjacI>S.

the Uoecake and FIepjacl>S.
With good meal and cook following
the lessons and traditions Of the old
regime delicious bread may be baked
cf Indian meal. But We lave grave
doubts whether it can be baked as we'll
in 4 stove Is in an open fireplace; but,
alas, Of the latter only & few remain.
The ashcakc, Of course, must have
ashes. They are indispensable. AS
well try to produce mint julep with
out mint. On the other hand, flap
jacks" need only 4 we'll creased frying
pan, but skill is required to turn them.
That is done by pitching them out Of
the pan into The air and making them
come down flap on the other side. The
corn pone may be cooked in stove or
range
The hoecake was originally cooked
on hoe in the fields and in the negro
cabin. \ skillet will do well enough
for it, but must be we'll creased at tie
bottom. So, too, with respect to egg
or batter bread. AS for corn mullins,
the appliances Of range are admira-
bly, adapted TO them.
We wish some millionaire would fit
up q Virginia country home in ante
bellum style and among other things
have in it big open fireplace, black
cook in q gingham dress, with red
bardanna on her head, and also have
a half acre mint bed, an icehouse and
an old time garden filed with raspber-
ries and gooseberries, thyme, sage, cur
rants and al the ordinary table vcge-
tables.
Wien one Of those old time homes
and gardens and kitchens is restored
and the host and hostess have entered
into possession, we desire to be listed
as frequent guest, with a reserved
seat in the chimney corner. Then all
we shall want will be the zest, the ap-
petite, the voraciouSness we possessed
when we could eat eighteen rolls and
six eggs for breakfast and consume q
whole watermelon between meals. But,
alas, it would be easier to restore old
walls and open fircplaces than to bring
back the digestion and storage capacity

past and never can return Richmond

THE PIANO TUNER.
WAY He Left IN q Hurry After Fin
ishioG His Job.

/ lady. stepped into q piano ware
room recently to engage tuner, but
before doing so insisted upon the stron-
gest assurance that the tuner was re-
sporsible. She was so determined that
the manager became curious to know
the reason for her disbelief in the re-
liability of tuners. She gave her ex-
pericnce with the last tuner she had,
and this is the story as she told it.:
lie had finished tuning the piano
when he looked up and said:
Your instrument was in awful con-
dition. You ought to have sent for me
sooner"
"1t was tuned only three months
ago"
s"Then the man who did it certainly
didn't know his business"
"No?"
mo, maam. He had better be do
ing street cleaning than tuning pianos.
Why, my dear. madam, delicate in
strument like piano needs fingers
equally delicate to handle it, combined
with an ear Of unerring accuracy. The
individual who attempted to tune this
instrument last evidently possessed
neither of these In fact, am free to
say he did it more harm than good"
Indeed"
Indeed he did. May I ask who it
was who so abused your Instrument?
"I+ vos vn11rsa1f"
Madam, you are wrong. l never
tuned a piano in this house before"
probably not, but you tuned that in
strument nevertheless, OF made a botch
Of it in attempting to do so. 1t be-
longs to Mrs. Jones, who sent 1t here
while she is out Of town. She told me
you always had tuned it and to send
for you when''-

haste as to make his coattails a good

Presence of Mind.

NJ. Greyy when president Of France
on one occasion eXtricated himself from
a predicament with wonderful pres
ence Of mind. He was being conducted
around the salon by an eminent artist
when he saw a painting which dis
pleased him. "What a daubw he eX-
claimed. Whose is it," ''That pic
ture, N. lie President" said his cicerone,
sit is my own work" "Ah" said the
president without any sign Of embar-
rassment at his awkward mistake. ''In
our country, when we particularly wish
to purchase thing, We always begin
by running it down" And, true to his
part, he purchased the offending paint
ing there and then.

How to Keep Young.

One Of the secrets Of keeping young,
vigorous end supple jointed is to con-
tinue to practice the activities Of youth
and to refuse to allow the mind to
stifen the muscles by its suggestion
Of age limitations. If men like Peter
Cooper and William E. Gladstone, who
kept up the vitalizing exercises Of TO
bust manhood when far into the
eighties, had succumbed at forty to the
thought Of approaching age, how much
OF their valuable life work would have
remained undone-SucceSs.

NO MORE CULVERTS
MANY WASHED AWAY ON HA-
WAII.
Road Board Report on Recent Storm.
Boyd Sends Bridges to Replace Cul-
Verts.

Reports of the damages done by the
recent heavy storm on Hawaii have
been received by superintendent of
Public Works Boyd from w. G. Walk
er chairman of the North Hilo road
board. AS a result of the report made
by Walker, after an examination of the
roads there will be no more culvert-
building on roads of this nature. The
material for six bridges will go forward
on the Kinau tomorrow Assistant Sup
erintendent Campbell going with them
to superintend putting them up
1t was mistake to ever put culverts
along these roads" said Boyd, "and we
shall stick to bridges hereafter"
Walkers report is as follows:
There are five culverts washed out
and the fills washed away, between
Maulua and Laupahoehoe gulches. The
washed out fills will average from 20 to
go feet wide and from 10 to 80 feet deep
Between Maulua gulch and Honohina
there are two more culverts in about
the same condition. There were a
number of bad slides and washouts
this side Of Laupahoehoe, but we took
the gang Of about 60 men off the new
road and within a week will have this
hoe Sugar Company has 100 men at
work on the other side but they can do
little more than clear out the slides
and make trails around the washouts,
as these culverts will have to be SPAN
ned temporarily by wooden bridges.
we would never advise that cuI-
verts be placed in the gulches again.
As they are Immediately choked up and
the water rushes everything away in
it's path.
1--WE will do all in our power to re-
pair things temporarily, drawing from
our own appropriation of roads and
bridges. To put in the proper cross
ings and repair as should be done viii

HUGO p. KING FORMERLY OF
KOHALA
Stops Runaway-saves a Grand
daughter Of Juarez-Receives a Note
Of Thanks from Governor de Landa

Hugo P. King, for FIVE years previous
to last summer book-keeper for Kohala
plantation, who is now visiting Mexico,
proved himself hero there by stopping
a runaway team and carriage, and saw
ing from death or injuries Mrs. Santici-
liza de Obregon, a granddaughter Of
President Juarez, the George Washing
ton Of Mexico. SO daring was his ex-
ploit that he received a note Of thanks
from Governor de Landa Of the city OF
Mexico. The note was published In the
Herald of the City Of Mexico, and is as
follows:
My Dear Sir: Having learnt that.
owing to your efforts, in stopping the
runaway horses Of a carriage occupied
by Mrs. Santicilia de Obregon, the in
iuries which that lady might have sus-
tained and the accidents which the
horses would have occasioned in their
career, were avoided. 1 take particular
pleasure in hereby aduing my congrat-
ulations to those which were Offered
to you by the people who witnessed
your brave action, and I gladly avail
myself of this opportunity to subscrib-
ing myself, Yours faithfully,
GuillermO de Landa y Escandon.
Mr.. King is a son Of General Adam E.
King a civil war veteran and who was
also the United States consul general
at Paris, France, under lne Harrison
administration.
Mr. King has been in Mexico for the
past few weeks investigating the sugar
lands Of the Atlantic coast and came to
Mexico for a few weeks visit. He says
that from what he has seen Of the
country near Tampico he considers it
ideal sugar land, and may conclude to
Invest in sugar ranch before he re-
turns to the United States.

IN YEARS
w. B. FLINT MAKES KAHULUI IN
II DAYS.
Best Record From San Francisco to
That Port During Last 21 Years.
Made Port Thursday.

The bark w. b. Flint just made a
splendid trip from San Francisco to
Kahului, arriving off the latter port last
Thursday, in eleven days. This is one
of the fastest voyages ever made by a
sailing vessel between those ports, only
two other vessels having better re-
cords. The brigantine w. G. Irwin
made the trip in 1881 in days and II
hours, and the schooner, Claus Spreck-
els made the same voyage in 9h days
in 1879. This makes the voyage of the
Flint, the best voyage on record during
the last twenty-One years.
The vessel left San Francisco Decem-
Der %. She experienced a good breeze
during practically all of the trip and
on Thursday, January 2, was off the
port of Kahului She was signalled
from shore, to stand off and on, as the
schooners, S. T. Alexander and Manila
were both in the port Of Kahului at
that time, and were to depart on the
following day.
The Flint stood well to the leeward
of Kahului and drifted away so far,
that it took her until Saturday to beat
back, before she could be towed into
port.
When the steamer Claudine left Ka-
hului Saturday, there were three other
vessels in that port in addition to the
Flint. They were the barkentine Quick
step, the schooner Stanley and the Bri-
tlsh bark Antiope. The latter arrived
on New Years day from Ladysmith
with coal.

HOROBBEDT THECAR2
DRIVER SAID SOLDIERS BUT FELL
DOWN LATER.
When Given the Chance to Identify
the Men at Camp McKinley-Detec-
tives on Case.

Although Rodriguez, the driver of
Tram car No. II which was reported
to have been robbed Of the cash box
Saturday night, had all of the soldiers
at Camp Mckinley lined up yester-
day, he was unable to identify the mys-
terious soldiers who he claimed had
robbed the car.
According to the statement Of the
driver three men, wearing soldiers uni
forms, two Of them privates and one a
corporal, rode to Waikiki terminus on
Saturday night. The driver got out to
turn the horses and, while so engaged,
the soldiers were said by him, to have
jumped up and grabbed the money box
containing the care fares, and started
away with it, The driver yelled to
them to stop, but they ran through Ka-
piolani Park and disappeared. Exactly
$3.50 was in the box when it was
stolen.
The theft was reported to the police
and Detective Kaapa was detailed on
the case. Rodriguez claimed that he
could identity the corporal but was not
so sure of the other men, Detective Ka-
apa went to Camp Mckinley and stated
the circumstances to Major Davis, the
commander, and asked his assistance
in trying to locate the alleged soldier
robbers. Major Davis readily agreed
to cooperate with the Detective and
Kaapa was told to bring the car driver
to the Camp at roll call at o'clock
Sunday afternoon.
The soldiers were called into line as
usual and the driver given every op-
portunity Of looking at the men, and
especially the corpOrals. Rodriguez said
that he had to confess that he could not
| identify any of the men as the robbers
| of Saturday evening. Detective Kaapa
Is working on the case still and hard
! ly knows what to think of the circum-
stances, as the driver was given every
opportunity of seeing the various sol
diers at Camp Mckinley but was un-
able to point out any one who resem-
bIed the thieves.
The money box was one of those that
hangs on the platform rail when in use

DISSATISFIED WITH HOME RULE
PLATFORM
Will Not Run in Radical Opposition to
Cheap Labor-Will Lead il He Is
A Leader.

Prince Cupid is reported to be doing
some kicking against the platform on
which the Home Rulers want him to
nun for the legislature in the Fourth
District. Since he returned from HilO,
ne has not stated his intention, but it
Is reported that he is willing to run If
he can have his own way as to the la
bOr issue. Cupid objects to the radical
ideas Of some Home Rulers against
cheap labor of all kinds. In fact he is
Of the opinion that more cheap labor
would be a good thing if the laborers
can be kept in the fields and he declines
to enter the lists as a general kicker
against importation of laboreTs. 1t is
said, in fact, that is the Home Rule Re-
publicans want Cupid for leader they
Will have to let him lead. 1t will not
be a case of making a platform and put
ting him in it to run, but he will want
to fix up the platform himself, If he is
to make the campaign.
There was a council this afternoon
among some of the leaders, but it may
be next Thursday evening, when the
regular meeting occurs, before there Is
a settlement. In the meantime Cupid s
attitude is matter of some specula-
ton.
The fact that Prince Cupid though in
the hall, did not take a seat on the
platform and did not make an address,
at the Home Rule meeting Saturday
night, was commented upon there, and
gave color to reports of his bucking the
traces. The leaders of the party are
discussing the matter a great deal to-
day, and it is said to be likely that the
Prince will have his way.
Another reason why Kalanianaole' s
candidacy is in doubt Is said to be that
the Home Rulers would like to hear
from the Republicans. The Republican
central committee meets this evening,
and it may be that there will be indica-
tions of that party''s intentions. 1t is
Home Rule policy to wait and see who
is pat up by the other side before nam
ing their, choice.
Republican opinion appear to con-
centrate upon Gilman. So far there is
no other man IN the field who will run
Neither Charles Wilson nor A. V, Gear
will make the fight. Gilman is reported
to be willing, and a majority of the
Central committee is said to favor
choosing him.

BOARDS OF SURVEY WAITING.

The boards of survey on the bark
Hesper and ship Benjamin Sewall
which put into this port in a leaking
condition, have nOt tinished their lab
ors. The preliminary survey on the
Hesper decided that the deck load
should be taken off, as it had shifted
and was not lashed safely enough to
permit the vessel to go to sea. The
leak has not yet been discovered and
IL may be necessary to have another
survey when the report of the diver will
have been received.
The leak on the Sewall has not been
discovered either, and until something
more definite regarding that vessels
damage is known, the board of survey
will not make it's report
