Young Man is Victim OF Fear.
fui Accident at Ferris.

News was.received in Waxahachie
late yesterday afternoon from Fer
ris that VIII Martin, a young man,
had both legs cut off by a passenger

pot platform at Ferris From what
could be learned of the affair it ap-
pears that young Martin had been
up the road on trip and was on
his way home. While passengers
were getting on and off the train at
Ferris he remained standing on the
bottom steps Of the coach talking to
a friend. He made no attempt to
get off until after the train had
started and was getting under good
headway. When he jumped to the
platform his feet got tangled up and
be was thrown down, falling under
the wheels Of the train. Before he

peTilOus position the train passed
over his legs, mangllng them IN a
fnghttui manner. He was picked
up and taken into the waiting room
of the depot where the injured limbs
were amputated. The physicians
who attended him found number
of bruises on the body. 1t is not

SHARES ITS PROFITS.
A Street Railway Run en- the Cooper
alive Plan.

The adoption of a practical system
OF proft-sharing by the street railway
company Of Vancouver is an expert
ment that will be of interest to all
who watch the development of our in
dustrial system. says the Toronto
Globe. The Independent, a weekly
published in the interests of organized
labor in Vancouver. B. c., gives a re-
port Of an address by Manager Bunt-
zen of the street railway company 10
a mass meeting of workmen. which
was also addressed by President Ma.
hon of the Street Railway Mems
union Of America. The meeting shows
the harmonious relationship existing
between the street railway company
and its employees. The company has
voluntarily decided that the regular
employees shall receive as their share
of its profits one-third OF the amount
available for dividends after the or
binary shareholders have received 4
percent. This means, as estimated
that at the end of the first year each
employe will receive about $50. at the
end of the second year the share will
be about $50. and in five years it will
be $780, The men will receive the
standard union wages. Manager Blunt
zen says that. in his opinion. the in.
creased interest in the company's well
fare on the part of the employees Gre
ated by the new system will add so
much to the company's success that
the shareholders. as well as the men,
will gain by the innovation.
The employees proportion of the
profits will be divided equally among
them. all being considered as units III
making the company's business sue
cess. In addition to the voluntary
concession, the company pays as high
wages for every class of work as are
paid by other local employers. and
generally speaking, higher wages. The
company also makes certain conces.
sions in the way Of uniforms, light and
transportation, that employees in
other lines Of business are not in po
sition to grant. 1t is customary to
look for rocks in the way of all such
industrial experiments. Men do not
work for low wages nor under unfa'
vorable conditions voluntarily, but be
cause they are forced to DO so by the
conditions of the labor market. The
model employer. the man who volun-
tarily does more than he is forced to
do, because nc sees that there is some
thing wrong and that the men are en-.
titled 10 more. is worthy of all honor
One of the difficulties of such
scheme is that employment with hirl
acquires an econoi.ic value which the
worlimen may be forced to pay to mid
dlemen or Intermediates. But it is
time enough to look for such trouble
when it begins to develop. a good re-
lationship and feeling of mutual
interest have value which cannot be
accurately estimated in dollars. and
these have been secured already by
the Vancouver Street Railway COM
1any.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A short absence quickens love. lorg
absence kills it.
Waste of tine is the most eXtrava-
CANT and costly CT all expenses.
The earnestness of life is the only
passport to the satisfaction of life.
There is no grea,er disaster in love
than the death of the imagination.
The most coward!y lone wolf is the
bravest when he has pack at his
back.
Originality largely consists 10 seeing
things as they are and telling the
truth about them.
There is no joy like the joy of real
virtue. and no music like the music
of a good conscience.
When there is love in the heart there
are rainbows in the eyes which cover
every black cloud with gorgeous hues.
Before we passionately desire any
thing which another enjoys we should
examine into the happiness of its pos
SCISSOR.
The grandest warrior is he who fights
against and conquers the petty passions
which would compromise his dignity az
a reasonable being
A selfish heart never understands the
pain that others feel in giving neces-
sary pain, nor can such a heart see
things from others point of view.

pluck. great good nature devotion tc

are things that people like in a man

None Should Live Without Work.

Gen. William Booth, founder of the
Salvation Army, does not believe in
the -million-dollar home which the
late Winifred Scott Stratton proposed
to build with his vast fortune. In an
interview he said: 1T is all mistake
10 give poor people so much charity.
They should be made to work. for no
one has the right to live on the prod.
Ist of another mans labor without
giving proper compensation" 1t was
remarked that the home was for the
INDECENT poor and crippled. whereupon
the general said: II do not care IL they
are crippled. they should work anyway,
for everybody can do some work. Even
my wife. when she was in her last ILL
ness and paralyzed in her right arm,
learned to crochet with her left hand,
and worked on pair of slippers for
me, finishing them within four days OF
her death. The Stratton home may be
all right but it is all wrong TO get to-
gether a large number Of men and
women, ciothe and feed them for moth
ing, and not require them to work.

AND FORESTRY
FORESTER HALL TO RETURN TO
WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK
DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS.

The Board of Agriculture and Fores-
try held a meeting yesterday afternoon
in the office of Superintendent Cooper.
The first matter taken up was the re-
moval of several thousand sheep which
are running wild on government land
at Huulalai, Hawaii, and which Coop
err ordered Sam Parker, Jr., and G. w.
MacfarlanG to remove within thirty
days. Governor Dole stated that Rob-
ert Hind had asked to be allowed to
take the sheep, but that the request
had been refused as it was thought
that they belonged to other men. L.
A. Thurston said that the sheep be-
longed to the Macfarlane ranch and
that drives had already been begun to
get them off the government land
Three months time will probably be
allowed for removal of the herds.
The board decided to resume the free
distribution of plants at the govern
ment nursery, though Governor Dole,
Thurston and others suggested making
a small charge for them. Thurston
stated THAT he had been informed that
some of the plants were taken away
and sold after they had grown to
saleable size. Cooper favored con-
tinuing the free distribution, saying
that it was for the identifying of the
islands. 1t was decided to keep a
watch on the distribution for the next
three months and then decide what
shall be done. The charge as pro-
posed by the governor would be the
cost price, or about three cents per
plant.
The work of expert forester Hall
was outlined by Thurston and on the
latter's report that Hall would arrive
here from Kauai at the end of the week
and expected to leave for Washington
on Tuesday, it was decided to hold a
meeting on Monday afternoon and dis
cuss the situation with Hall. The fol-
lowing new volunteer foresters were
appointed: George Ros, North Hilo dis
trict; w. r. Castle, South Kona; L.
Barkhausen, Lahaina; l.. Won Tempsky
Makawao; L. Won Tempsky and Dr.
Raymond, Kula and Kaupo, Maui; j.
NJ. Lidgate, Koloa, Kauai. The only
three districts now without volunteer
foresters are Hilo, Hama and Waianae.

SAVED MANY
FROM LIVE WIRE
SPECIAL OFFICER MAHUKA PRE-
VENTED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
AT FORT AND QUEEN STREETS.

Special officer John Mahuka the
boatman, prevented serious accidents
yesterday afternoon at the corner of
Queen and Fort streets. Had not
Mahuka kept his presence of mind, a
number of people would have received
serious shocks from a live wire.
An express wagon conveying large
tub, passed along Fort street. The tub
was too high to cross under the tele-
phone wire and caught on the wire
and dragged it loose. The wire fell
across the trolley wire of the electric
car line. Mahuka was passing. He
Immediately perceived the danger He
stationed himself by the end of the
suffering wire and kept people and
horses away from the danger.
The telephone company was notified
of the danger and sent lineman to the
scene. The lineman cut the end of the
wire, and mounting an electric car
which came along, removed the wire
from resting on the trolley wire, thus
shutting off the current that was
caused by the trolley wires.
