DOGS ROuT
4 DA|L|FF
While Judge Gear Waits
For Ills Dress
Suit.

| Judge Gear almost missed being on
hand for dinner party at o'clock
Hast evening because the man he sent
to his Kaimuki home at II a. m. to get
his dress suit. did not show up until
5:45 D. m. The Judge who had been
hanging. about Lycurgus' grill for two
hours waiting. for his clothes, had to
go into Ahana's tailoring establishment
to change his apparel and then hustled
off to the dinner party just at 6.
Baihf Ellis was sent to Kaimuki at
II a. m. The Judge was busy with the
Parker case and knew he would have
hard day and so decided to have his
dinner clothes brought down town.
About 2:3O D. m. word came to the
judge that Ellis had 'phoned in that he
couldn't get into the house on account
| of the judges dogs Ellis was a tired
and cross young man when he finally
came to sLyeurgus' place and he had
a sad story to tell.
Every time he opened the gate the
dogs, which were Great Danes, made
a rush at him. He skirmished and re-
connoitered but to no purpose. The
dogs We're there every time. He finally
decided on a siege and occasionally
made a sortie but was repulsed. Final
ly the order came from the judge that
the, house must be taken-Judge Gear
was thinking of the Mikado's order to
take Port Arthur-a,ld Ellis prepared
for the attack. He finally got the
Chinese caretaker to lock the dogs in
the kitchen.
One of them has litter of pups and
when she heard Ellis steps in the yard
she made one bound forced the door
and came at the two men with a rush.
Ellis disappeared over one fence and
the Chinaman over the other. The dogs
We're finally secured and Ellis secured
the judges clothes and came into
town.

The BaiksI Line.

Mr.. Angus Hamilton. writing from
Lake Baikal. says regarding the Sibe-
rian railway:
In many places along the line, how
ever, particularly in regard to anything
which has not actually arisen out of
the existing emergency, the work has
been deserted temporarily, the hands
having been withdrawn to the Circum
Baikai section, where all workmen
available have been concentrated. At
the present moment several thousand
must have been brought together, ma
tives and foreigners alike, the latter
specially engaged to carry out the blast
ing and tunnelling. Work at that point
is forging ahead with great rapidity
indeed, it is claimed that higher aver
| age of daily construction has been made
over the Circum- Baikal section than
over the other parts of the Siberian
railway; and in the early days of the
Trans-Siberian construction as much as
three miles was averaged daily.
Throughout the entire line, however,
one mile per day was the normal rate
OF speed. Around the lake. where spe-
cial men are employed and an extra
high rate of wages is given, as much
as four miles has been made in places
free from physical difficulties. But re-
garding the work there as a whole the
great difficulties arising from the tun-
melting prevent any great speed being
obtained. In the present state it is
still an open question whether the line
will be completed by August of this
year, the contract time. There are
hopes, but hope, in the matter of en-
cheering construction. springs eternal.
No one can say: it is only possible to
add that everyone is working with ex-
traordinary Will and determination.
There is therefore some little prospect
but it IS sIight.-Japan Gazette.

other remedy can show such a record

Mrs. Emma Vieira. CT King street,
this city, says: For three or four
years 1 had the misfortune to be af-
flicted with an aching back. The pain
and discomfort this entailed on me can
be better imagined that described I
have two children, and it was of course
difficult for me to attend to them
while oppressed with suffering. The
way in which I found relief eventually
was by using Doan's Backache Kid
ney Pills, procured at the HOLSTER
Drug Co.'S store. They did me a large
amount of good, as now testify.

have backache or any other form of
kidney trouble to try Doan's Backache
