CEllINPS DOG.
Ungrateful Thief Brought to Book by
 His Sense aud Courage.

CShsS auu AouFdRts
 The intelligence of dogs Is no new subject, but 1t Is one which never ceases to be interesting, Benyenuto Gel. lfni, the sixteenth century goldsmith, whose work is still one of the riches of Italy, records In his "Memoirs" an anecdote which shows that the dogs of that day were as faithful and as in telligent as are those of to-day. He speaks of the animal as a fine large shock-dog."
 It happened one night. says the au. thor, that thief, who had been at my house pretending to be n goldsmith and had laid plan to rob me, watched his opportunity and broke into my shop, where he was prying open the caskets when the dog flew at him. The thief found 1t difficult matter to de- fend himself with a sword.
 The faithful animal ran several times about the house, entered the journey mems rooms, which were open, as 1t was then summer time: but as they did not seem to hear him barking. he drew away the bedclothes, and pulling the men by the arms forcibly awakened them; then barking very loud he show ed the way to the thief. and went on before. But the men would not follow him. They were angered at his noise, and drove him out of the room.
 The dog, having lost ail hope of as- sistance, undertook the task alone, and ran downstairs. He could not find the villain in the shop, but came up with him in the street, and tearing off his cloak would certainly have treated him according to his deserts if the fellow had not called for assistance. With great difficulty the dog was driven away.
 Some days later, as was passing the square of Navona with my dog. he parked very loudly and flew al a young man, and made such efforts to tear this young man to pieces that he reused the city guards. The guards told me that If l did not keep off my dog, they would kill him. called off the dog with some difficulty, and as the young man was retiring certain little paper bundles fell from under the cape of his cloak, which Domino immediately discovered to be. long to him.
 Among them 1 perceived a little ring which l knew to be my property, whereupon I said, This Is the villain that broke open my shop, and my dog knows him again."
 I therefore let the dog loose, and he once more seized the thief. who then implored my mercy, and told me he would restore whatever he had of mine. On this 1 again called off my dog, and the fellow returned me all the gold, silver and rings that he had rob bde me of, and gave me five and twen- ty crowns over imploring my forgive ness. bade him pray for the divine mercy, as I, for my part, did not intend to do him either harm or good.

PRICES GO UP IN BOUNDS.

Startling Manner in Which Real Estate
 Values Jump on Long Island Sound.
 Real estate values In some parts of Long Island have lately increased with amazing rapidity, owing to the evident desire of certain wealthy men to form large holdings. The following story is told in New York paper in connection with the recent purchase of a I1-acra farm near Lake Success: An agent called on the owner and asked him what he would sell for.
 Five thousand dollars" he replied.
 All right" said the agent, but first I will have to see my principal"
 In day or two he returned, saying, 'aWell, we will take your place."
 "I am asking S10.OOO now" was the reply of the owner, who had ''become wise'
 The agent demurred. but the farmer insisted, and the agent was compelled again to consult his principal. On his return the farmer had raised tue price to S2O,0OO.
 Well" said the agent, that is too uiuNh' we uoh hthl Soui idi III pal . ticularly. anyhow"
 All right" was the answer.
 A week later the agent visited the place again, and on seeing the owner said. Well, have you jumped your price again?"
 "Ycs. 1 have; I want S45,0OO now"
 "I'll take it." said the agent. Here is deposit for there's no telling where you will jump to next"

SUPREME COURT JUDGES.
1.-The Official and Commercial Record.

| 1.-THE Official and Commercial Record.l
| The movement which has been mi
tiated by the Honolulu Bar Association,
to secure an increase Of the Hawaiian
Supreme Court from three to five
judges, is one which should have the
cordial support of the business organ
izations and community Of Hawaii
AS the law now stands, with very few
exceptions, there is no appeal from the
decisions of the Supreme Court of the
| Territory. In the few cases in which
an appeal does lie, the expense of car
rying a case to Washington, or even to
San Francisco, is practically prohibi-
tory. A recent appeal from a decision
by Judge Estee, TO the Federal Circuit
Court sitting in California, cost the
appellant approximately $4,000. 1t is
still more expensive to go TO Washing
ton. To the average litigant the local
decision must be final, whether the
right of appeal exists or not.
Under these circumstances the hope
of the citizen, in both criminal and
civil matters, must be in a strong, we'll
balanced local Supreme Court.
With the tremendous power of final
decision now vested in the court, it is
with concern that both the bar and the
business community have noted that
not a term goes by without one or
more, generally more, dissenting opin-
ions from one of the judges, resulting
in an all too frequent two-judge deci-
sion in matters involving important
principles of law, which decide not only
the cases at issue, but form precedents
which govern the Territory for the fu-
ture.
Whether the dissenting opinions are
right or wrong, is not the point now
under consideration. The fact that the
power is now vested in one man, by
agreeing with the one or the other
member Of the court, to declare the law
of this Territory, is one which arrests
attention.
Unanimity in any court is not to be
expected. The history of the Supreme
Court of the United States is sufficient |
evidence of that; nor is it at all GER |
tain that mere increase in numbers !
will raise the quality of law expounded |
to us. But with the all too evident |
personal and political bias which is
liable to appear in this isolated COM
a five-judge Supreme Court
instead of one of only three judges,
will be a safeguard of far greater
value to the Territory than the mere
cost of the increased salary roll.

HAWAII FOR SMALL FARMERS.

A small farmer in the East keeps
cows and has fresh feed for them about
five months in the year. The rest of
the time he keeps the stock in barns,
feeding hay and getting a small yield
of milk which brings, at retail sale
from 1-2 to cents per quart.
On the island of Oahu a small farmer
has fresh feed for his cows every month
and gets a large yield of milk which
he sells at wholesale for eight cents
quart and at retail from ten to fifteen.
In the East the poultry raiser gets
from ten to twenty cents a dozen for
eggs in the short summer season and
twenty-five to thirty cents in the WIN
only raise broods in the spring. His
broilers bring twenty-five cents and
his laying fowls fifty cents.
In the neighborhood of Honolulu eggs
bring from forty to sixty cents a dozen.
They are fairly abundant every month
of the year. Broods can be raised
at any time. Broilers bring from sixty
to seventy-five cents apiece and laying
fowls from $1.25 to $3.50.
Everything grown here brings far
greater prices than similar products
do elsewhere in the United States; and
the farmer lives an easier happier and
healthier life. He does not spend
during a long winter all that he makes
in short summer, for it is always
summer here.
Hawaii deserves to be called the par
adise of the small farmer, not only for
the reasons stated but because of the
special, tropical crops that may be
exported.

HOME RULE FOR TERRITORIES.

There is much of local application in
| this leading article from the Washing
| ton Post:
Judge Clement Smith, of the feder-
al court of Michigan, has declined an
! appointment to be a member of the
Supreme Court of the Territory of New
Mexico. His appointment came after
a long political fight for the removal
TO the bench from New York. The
bar and citizens of New Mexico urged
the removal of Judge Mcmillan on
charges rejecting upon his personal
conduct, and at the same time brought
every influence to bear to secure the
appointment of a resident of the ter
ritory as his successor. The appoint
ment had however, been promised to
| Senator Burrows, of Michigan, and he
named Judge Smith for the position.
Judge Smith has declined, and has Civ
en- as a reason for his declination that,
| in his opinion New Mexico will soon be-
come a state, and that then he would
lose the office to which he had been ap-
pointed.
Residents of New Mexico will be
glad to believe that Judge Smith has
some inside information concerning the
probability of statehood legislation at
the coming session Of Congress. In
view of the action OF the last Congress,
however Judge Smiths prediction that
New Mexico will soon become a state
does not seem to be justified. We are
inclined to tie opinion that Judge
Smith became convinced, after making
tour of the territory. that the senti-
ment against the appointment of a
nonresident to the best judicial posi-
ton in the territory was SO strong
that he would have difficulty in over
coming it and establishing himself
firmly in the good graces of the peo-
pie. Tie right of home rule is one
of the insistent demands of the people
of all of the territories. They want
not secure that recognition they want |
their judges, district attorneys and |
other federal officers chosen from the |
residents of the territory. They are a |
hospitable people, these residents of |
the territories, but they are quick to
resent the appointment to judicial and
other positions of men who are not ia
miliar with peculiar conditions that eX-
list in their territories. just as the South
protested, and with as much warrant,
against the carpetbagger rule after the
close of the war Oklahoma SO Wig
orously impressed this sentiment of
her citizens upon the administration
that only residents of the territory have
been selected for federal appointments
there for number of years past. New
Mexico is now demanding the same
recognition. There seems to be no
good reason why this sentiment of the
residents of the territories should not
be respected in the selection of fed
aral officials
