COAL PlCKERS ON
THE WATERFR 0NT

One of the queer industries which is
remarked along the waterfront is that
of "coal picking" On days when coal
vessels are discharging at the wharves
along the Esplanade or at the Naval
docks, when the carts filled with the
black diamonds jolt along to the scales
and thence to the big coal piles, num-
bers of elderly Hawaiians can be seen
on the streets with gunny sacks in
their hands. They keep close watch of
the passing coal carts, and when a
rough piece of road bumps a few
Jumps of coal off the wagon to the
street they eagerly pounce upon them
and throw them into the wide-mouthed
bags. Sack after sack is thus filed
during the day, and, judging by the
competition, the industry seems to be
remunerative.

The German cruiser Cormoran will
probably sail sometime today for the

of the men of the cruiser were allowed
ashore last night, and most of them
were holding song service on deck as
a relaxation after a heavy days work
of taking coal into the vessels bunk
ers. The Cormoran is now pretty deep
in the water as she took in all her
bunkers would hold, and has about
forty tons of coal on deck.

Hawthorne,. .cur.ed Habit

1t would be easy to explain Haw-
thorne's peculiar temperament after
the modern fashion by reference to
heredity and environment. No doubt
there was q strain of eccentricity In
the family. He himself tells Of a cou-
sin who made a spittoon out of the
skull of his enemy. and it is natural
that descendant Of the old Puritan
witch judge should portray the weird
and grotesque aspects of life. Proba-
bly,. too, his native tendency was in
creased by the circumstances that sur
rounded his youth, the seclusion of his
mothers life, his boyhood on Lake Sc
bago. where, as he says. be first got his
Cursed habit of solitude" and the
long years during which he lived as a
hermit in Salem
But after all these external matters
and even the effect of heredity, so far
as we can fathom it. explain little or
nothing. A thousand other men might
have written his books If their source
lay in such antecedents Behind it all
was the demonic force Of the man him
self, the everlasting mystery of genius
inhabiting his brain and choosing him
to be an exemplar and interpreter of
the inviolable individuality In which
lie the pain and glory Of our human
estate.-Paul Elmer More in Atlantic
Monthly.

and with careful Teutonic management
had swelled it to a comfortable sum
The American wife knew nothing of
her sister-in-law, and she appreciated
the limitations Of her own finances as
well as the difficulty Of choosing gift
for a stranger. But she went to q re-

His wife. who had not thought of the

Germany at Christmas,
A few weeks later substantial check

had indeed appreciated the situation.

Henry often wished he could lose it

Another five years went by. Bebee's
Corners had now become huge stone
quarry. crisscrossed by railroad tracks,
and one after another the farmers had
sold out and moved away. The only
land left not belonging to the stone
company consisted of two acres on a
hill to which Uncle Billy held the title
and on which his will directed that the
meeting house should be built after his
death.
Old and battered though he was, he
was looking good for another five
years when the end came at last. He
was milking COW one evening when
he fell over dead. The doctor didn't
send out the news for twenty-four
hours, but when he did 1t was anthem
tic and there was no going back on the
returns. Uncle Billy was dead for a
fact, and 1t was another fact that he
had left land and money for meeting
house. His executors had no choice
but to go ahead. and today there
stands on the rocky hill overlooking
the great stone quarry church edifice
which has never been blessed nor dedi-
Gated nor echoed the voice of prayer
There are half thousand workmen in
the quarry, but if they worship at all it
is at another shrine.

Cheops was the builder of the pyra-

to make the structure perpetuate his
deeds for all time to come, the very
stones and bricks Of which it is COM

Cheops lived nearly $500 years ago, his
great pyramid being an antiquity in
the days when the great nations of old
were In their youth, and yet we of this
twentieth century can have the salts

The hieroglyphics on the ring are mi

CLARENCE HAYDEN

Uncle Billy Watkins was well to
do well liked farmer living at Bebee's
Corners, and for fifteen years he had
driven five miles to town every Sunday
to attend church. For the first ten
years his goodwife accompanied him,
but after her death he took the drive
alone. He was often heard to say that
he wished there was meeting house
at the Corners and that he would con-
tribute literally toward building one,
and at length the day came when he
was asked to make good his word. A
newly ordained preacher sought out
the Corners as his field and as a be-
ginning gathered his flock In an old
blacksmith shop. 1t was with the
greatest confidence that he went to
Uncle Billy for subscription Of cou-
pie hundred dollars, and at first he
seemed likely to get it.
II am glad to hear the news-mighty
glad" said the farmer in his hearty
way. eyes. we need meeting house
here, and hope you will get together
a large congregation. l shall be with
you heart and soul"
That sounded encouraging, and the
two hundred seemed assured. when
Uncle Billy continued:
1--WE been expecting this for years
and sort of been ready for it. More
than ten years ago made my will, and
in that will l left $1,000 to build a
meeting house. I'm liable to drop OF
any day, and as soon as go the
money will be ready"
The preacher intimated that build
ing In hand was worth two in the
bush, but Uncle Billy refused to dis
count his last will and testament. The
most he would do was to offer to die
as soon as possible, and with that
they had to be content. There were
some people mean enough to insinuate
that man of forty-five who had
never been III day and who could
tuck away food enough for an OK at
each meal had forty years more be
fore him. They were covered with
confusion. however, and that within
less than six months. One day word

had gone back on him and that he had
only few hours to live. The preacher
was among the first callers. and lying
on his dying bed was the farmer. who
said to him:
Eyes. I've got to go, but I'm consoled
to know that you will get your meeting
house. There's money enough to pro-
vide for a steeple and a bell, and
hope you'll see to it that the seats are
comfortable and the stoves big enough
to warm things up in winter. It's a
heap better way than going around
for subscriptions"
There were many callers for the next
two days, and each one had words Of
sympathy and consolation, and it was
after the last individual had gone out
of the house, with tears In his eyes,
that Uncle Billy's heart resumed bust
ness on the old lines and he began to
improve. A week later he was out
hoeing potatoes. and as the preacher
came along the highway the farmer
called to him over the fence:
I'm sorry for you, but it amt my
fault. Just hang right on. and you'll
get that meeting house as sure as
coons."
1t was a year before anything else
happened. and the preacher had be-
come discouraged and sought another

The lady was somewhat notified by
this respectful and reasonable explana
ton.

He laughed heartily. "a mere baga-

"Who is your friend?' she inquired

AS soon as he arrived at his friends
in ST. Petersburg he told him he had
been able to bring him only ninety
yards Of the lace he had specified.
Prince Murianoffsky laughingly said
that there was no doubt that would be
enough. He unwound 1t with gleeful
care from his guests legs and they
chuckled over the duties that had been
lodged.
When Thorwald was dressing for
dinner that evening, the prince looked
in on him and said with mock solemni-
ty: my aunt will dine with US to-
night. Don't say a word about the
trick with the lace. Her husband is at

breathe word about It,

exclaimed:

Thorwald nodded his head. and as he
turned his eyes to the redoubtable
aunt who was entering the room in a
magnificent toilet he recognized his
companion in crime of the railway. She
gave a half start as he was presented
to her. but instantly rallied and, fixing
her bright eyes on him, said meaning

Thorwald did not altogether like the
request, but Prince Murianoffsky was
a good fellow and had been such help
to him in Paris he felt that he must
comply with it. After all, it was only
the government that would suffer, and
that was well able to put up with a

So Thorwald found himself speeding
