the room.

TRUTH OF OLD LEGEND
Writer In New York Sun Sheds New
Liuht on Story.


A woodsman, says the New York
Sun. was one day chopping a tree
overhanging a stream, and pausing in
his work to fiirt with a passing milk
maid, he dropped his axe into the
river.
The woodsman sat down comfort
ably and proceeded to bemoan his
fate. Mercury. hearing his lamenta-
tions. appeared before him, and upon
being informed of the loss of the axe
he at once dived into the water and
brought up a golden hatchet.
''Is that yours?" asked Mercury.
No" replied the man.
Mercury thereupon plunged into
the water for a second time and
brought up silver hatchet. Again
the man denied that the axe was his.
For the third time Mercury disap-
peared under the water. and at last
brought up the very axe that the man
had lost, which the woodsman eager
ly claimed as his.
The god, being pleased with the
mans honesty. presented him with
the gold and silver hatchets also.
The man told his friends about this
and the Mercurial Gold and Silver
company was organized with a capital
of billion or so. They bought up
all the rivers and ponds in the coun-
try and honest woodsmen were en-
ployed in double shifts to drop iron
axes into the water and get gold and
silver ones for their honesty. The
stock paid very well.
That is the true derivation of the
term-watered stock. AS for the milk.

LOG THAT DEFIED NIAGARA
Hung for Days on the Brink Of tho
American EaII

fNtHctiNdH
OF all the strange sights witnessed
at Niagara Falls, none was ever more
odd than that photographed by resi-
dent. says the New York Herald. Here
a great long stick of timber, long
enough to make a big mast. is seen
caught, right on the very brink OF the
American fall.
1t is, indeed. remarkable thet 1t
should have caught there, but It is
still more wonderful that 1t should
have remained there for several days,
or until high water came to force its
fastening to give way. The big tim
ber came down from the vicinity of
the lumber yards at Tonawanda- It
plunged through the upper rapids and
over the many reefs above the falls.
1t rolled along between the numerous
islands, and seemed destined to make
the leap into the gorge without
stop.
But right on the very edge of the
waterfall. with Its butt projecting far
over and out from the falling water,
and with its small end elevated in the
air above the current, this log caught
and held. 1t commanded much atten-
ton. and 1t is supposed that when 1t
tumbled into the gorge 1t carried a
portion of the limestone ledge with 1t.
Nothing like 1t was ever before or
since witnessed in connection with
this greatest of all waterfalls, and.
without doubt, thousands upon thou
sands of timbers might go the same
way without tarrying on the edge of

RECONSIDER.

The House passed the Senate County
bill on second reading just before noon
today and then began to wonder if the
action had not been too rapid. As a
result the last thing before recess was
q motion to reconsider the action taken
and consider the bill again on second
reading The bill was. taken up as
the first thing on the order of the day,
and without any hesitation it was pass
cd. Then a motion was made to refer
it to the committee which had the
House county bill.
I'VE shall attach the House amend
ments and send the bill back to the
Senate said Representative Chilling
worth, chairman of the committee "and
in this way save some days time. We
can pass the bill on third reading at
once, with our amendments attached
and it can go to conference. In that
way alone can the bill have any chance
of passing at this session. The legis
lation is really very much in danger

WANT HACK
BILL KILLED
SENATE RECEIVES THREE COM
MUNICATIONS OF PROTEST
AGAINST THE HACK BILL.

The Chinese community has begun to
protest against the "Hackman's" Bill
of the House. This morning three COM
munications on this score were recelv-
ed by the Senate from various Chinese
of the city.
One of the petitions was from the
Chinese Merchants Association and the
other was from the United Chinese So
ciety. Both of these communications
included resolutions of protest against
the enactment of the bill. The resolu-
tons were adopted by the two organ
liza lions on Saturday and urged the de
feat of the bill, on the grounds that it
was clasc legislation and would drive
the Chinese hack drivers out of that
business, and would deprive them of
that means of earning a livelihood
Quite a lengthy petition was received
from the Chinese hack drivers. There
were % names signed to this cOmmuni-
cation. The petition stated that if the
Hackmen's Bill became a law it would
result in the Chinese hack drivers be-
ing deprived of that means of earning
a livelihood. The Chinese had invested
their money in the hacks and it was
not right chat this class legislation
should De permitted.
The petition called attention TO the
fact that the petitioners had had the
RECORDS Oh the Police COuIl LOT JltG ldSI
five years examined, and it was there
learned that not 20 per cent of those
convicted of having caused accidents
OF for various violations of the hack
ordinances were Chinese. The Chinese
population of Honolulu was 10000 and
the petitioners thought that that pOr-
ton of the community should receive
some consideration in the matter of
conveyances driven by people WHO
could speak their native tongue.
The petition stated that there We're
only 60 Chinese hack drivers. The
petition also claimed that the bill was
in the interests Of white people who
wanted to get a monopoly on the bust
ness. An appeal to the American idea
of fair play was made. Many of the
Chinese hack drivers were ucitizens of
the United States and those who were
not We're prevented by law from becom-
ing so. The Senate was asked to de-
feat the bill. The endorsement of lead
ing Chinese merchants was attached
to the petition.
All of the communications were ia
bled to be considered with the House
bill, when it comes up for first reading.
