CHAPTER ".
A Cure for Strikes.

Good mornin'. Thought I'd Just
drop in an set an visit awhile. Jim had
to come to town to stay all day an the
boys is off to school. so 1 didn't have
nobody to talk to. nor much work to
do. Work? Why, I've got it all ar
ranged so my work amt very heavy.
mans gone now an there's just four
Of us to cook for. An the boys helps.
Goodness, yes. Before we was mar
ried, Jim an I talked it over. Yes,
I s'pose / did do most of the talkin',
but. anyway. we agreed that the boys
was to help in the house all they could
when we didn't have hired girl. Jim
said they wouldn't, but gracious, Jim
don't know his own boys we'll enough
to know what they'll do an what they
won't do. I never have any trouble
gettin' 'em TO do things. So now they're
lots of help.
Il tell you 1t pays to start right when
you're gettin' married. That's one
trouble with gettin' married young,
specially for girls. They don't know
what they want, nor how to get 1t il
they do know. But you take middle
she's a mighty poor stick IL she don't
know just what she wants an get 1t.
I'll admit there's, one advantage in
gettin' married young. If you're goin
to be happy you'll be happy lots
longer, but then, there's this disadvan-
tage, If you amt goin' to be happy,
you've got that much more time to be
miserable in But when you get mar
ried at middle age. if you're goin' to be
happy, you can be twice as happy,
cause you know better how to be
happy an you know enough to have
an easier time. an If you amt goin'
to be happy you won't be quite so
miserable as If you didn't know how to
have an easy time an you won't be
miserable so long.
Yes. I set the. boys to work the first
day after 1 came. 1 told Jimmie he
could help with the dishes an cookin'
mornins an Moons the first week an
frankie would help at night an they
could turn 1t about the next week.
First thing Jimmie said, Why, never
helped cook in my life an 1 don't like
to wash dishes Well said /, who's
goin' to do the cookin' an washin'
dishes when you boys goes campin'
over to the lake?' Now the boys had
never been an I knew they was Just
crazy to go. oh, ma they says, can
we go? Goodyl' 1t was days ride to
the lake an they couldn't ketch nothin'
when they did get there, but some Of
the older boys of the neighborhood had
been several years before an the young

lie, you say? No, not that. 1t was to
have t'bacco smoke blowed in my ear
Now Jim don't smoke. He can't stand
the stuff. He got too much once when
he was little.
Right while 1 was in the midst OF
it came a rap on the door, an thinks
to myself, There's one of those old
peddlers. All week when I've wanted
some new tins they haven't showed
themselves an now when / don't want
nobody around an specially when L
don't want nobody to come in that can
smoke, I'll bet he's come But 1t was
just a little neighbor girl come over to
borrow somethin'.
CT kept a-settin' there a-howlin' an
moanin', an sayin'. I wish there was
a man around this place. Nobody to
smoke when / get the earache, an It's
the only thing thatll cure 1t. II only
had a pipe-but, no, I can't blow in
my own ear, can I? What am goin'
to do?' An I kept on cryin' an
moanin' Jim offered to go for the
doctor, but 1 wouldn't hear to 1t, an
began scoldin' about how next time I
got married 1 was goin' to marry a
man. an not an old granny that was
'fraid to smoke for fear OF smellin his
breath up.
Pretty soon 1 see Jimmy tryin' to
screw up courage to say somethin', an
/ says, What is it, Jimmie? What was
you goin' to say?' He looked kind o.
sideways at his pa an says, I got a
pipe, but I amt got no t'bacco.' Well,
you skip out in the woodshed,' says !,
an you'll find bag of t'bacco hangin'
on the rafters, the middle one. I
brought it along for sheep-dip.'
I'm minute he comes back with the
bag an a corncob pipe he'd bought off
the hired man. The t'bacco I'd smelled
on his cloes didn't smell as If 'twere
very strong, an 1 thought he must
have got hold of something mild. But
there want nothin' mild about the
stuff ! had out there in the woodshed.
1t smelled like burnin' rubber an OF
boots an shoein' horses. 1 wrapped
my head up tight, except just the one
ear, SOS 1 couldn't smell the awful
stuff an Jimmy started out bravely
but I wasn't relieved till I saw that
the boy was gettin' all he could stand,
an just a little more. Then / came
round pretty quick an few round an
got the supper an called 'em in. They'd
gone out to do the chores then. But
Jimmy didn't come. What was the
matter, you say? Oh. knew what was
the matter with him, an soon as
could, 1 started out to find him.
IT found him in the barn, doubled up
on a pile of sacks. He didn't have
strength enough to tell me to go away,
but I knew he wanted to. 1t wasn't
dark yet, so I could still see what he
looked like. An / knew by his looks
that the earache wasn't the only thing
that t'bacco had cured. I never see
such a lookin' boy. You know how
those copper -colored freckles of his
would look on kind o. olive-gre
background. You've heard of people
turnin' green with envy. Well, Jim
mics wasn't envy.
The San Francisco call., 1904-11-06

a body can't break a habit himself. I
amt a-goin' to break it for him. Oh,
yes, I'll do what I can to help him,
but I won't. go so far as to do the
breakin'.
''well, / smelled t'bacco on Frankie's
clo'es one day an knew the time had
come. So that night just before sup
per, when he came runnin' In from the
barn, happened to be in the butt'ry.
so he didn't see me, an he spied
kittle over the stove, b'ilin' away with
the cover tight down over 1t. l wasnt
lookin', so frankie ups an hits the
cover an sticks his nose down to smell.
Now, Of course. might have put up
sign, This Here Stuff Is T'bacco, Bein'
Boiled for Sheep-Dip,' but / didn't
think 1t was necessary to advertise the
fact, an besides. them that keeps their
noses out Of narrow cracks don't usual
ly get 'em pinched. But frankie Ger
tainIy got his pinched. or worse, for
when I come out Of that butt'ry, there
he laid on the floor, with his eyes
shut, a-holierin' at the top of his lungs.
I got him fixed up, so his eyes quit
smartin', but by that time the tbacco
steam began to get in its work an he
was sicker'n ever Jimmie was. Both
of 'em got the dose on empty stomachs.
too SO they got 1t for keeps. You
know desperit' diseases needs desperit
remedies.
$50 I've been a-chucklin' to myself
ever since, thinkin' how them boys
have saved me all the worry about
their ever gettin' to usin' t'bacco. Why,
they're worse than Jim, now. They
can't even ride to town behind man
that's smokin without bein' sick.
You know when / first said some
thin to Jim about their beginnin' to
smoke. he says, Well. I'll thrash 1t
out of 'em. You just let me ketch 'em
usin' the stuff an I'll fix EN- Thrash
nothin', says l. an ups an tells him
about an old neighbor of ours years
ago that didn't believe in thrashin'.
He said that there wasn't a thing in
this world that thrashin' was good for
but just to make young ones go an
do again the thing they was bein'
thrashed for doin'. This old man had

workin'. An guess the old man got
so he couldn't see quite so sharp when
he found the boy was really workin'.
But anyway he kept up the thrashin'
long enough so Joe turned out one Of
the best workers I ever see an he's
got just about the best lookin' farm
around the whole country now. 1 don't
knew whether he keeps to his fathers
way of bringin' up boys or not, but
he's got big family of 'em.
We'll, I told Jim this an he agreed
to let me have my way an, so far as
I can see, it came out all right, for
habits is like horses. Them that others

he says, Just look at 'em, Jimmie but
Jimmie was busy, so he turns to me,
Just look at en- was busy lookin'

an says, Just lock at them dogs. ma
That brought me to. an / turned to-

he'd said. an looked kind o. sheepish,
and didn't look at me, so I pretended
not TO notice what he'd said, an pretty

c. II. ARTHUR NOT
A CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION.

The report is being persistently
circulated that Prof. Miller is a cam
didate for reelection to the superin-
tendency of the city schools and
that the present board would hold a
called meeting before election to elect
him to such position.
A Sentinel reporter interviewed
Mr.. Arthur the retiring member of
the board this morning and he stated
that he had no official knowledge Of
Prof. Miller's candidacy. He did not
believe that the board had any inten-
tion whatever of holding a special
meeting for the election of superin-
tendent or teachers. But should such
action be taken he would not cast his
vote at all. He further stated that
he would not be candidate for re-
election under any circumstances
whatever.

EAST MAUI PROPOSED
FOR RUBBER INDUSTRY

Editor Robertson of the Maui News
has the following suggestions anent the
rubber industry for his home island:
Rubber is every year becoming
more valuable and needed staple, and
those countries which can successfully
raise a merchantable article of rubber
have bright futures. There is a belt
of land nearly thirty miles in length
and from one to three miles in width
along the east Maui coast in the wet
belt, and there is no doubt but that
much of this land is peculiarly adapted
to the raising of rubber. A ten acre
grove of rubber trees would after the
end of the fifth year yield an ample
income for any family and will increase
in value from year to year for an in
definite period. If a company or COM
panies should organize and each secure
by purchase or long lease, from 500 to
1000 acres of this rubber land, a series
of industries would be organized on
Maui which would be more certain and
profitable than cane. And bananas
could be raised between the trees for
several years at a profit. The pioneers
in this industry will make fortunes and
the land is lying idle, awaiting them"

When nightfall came yesterday the
encampment at Waikiki of the First
Regiment, National Guard of Hawaii.
came to an end, tents had been struck,
and the regiment, with the exception
of the Hilo and Wailuku companies,
had marched back to the town armory
with flags flying and the band playing
its liveliest marches.
Yesterday was banner day with the
regiment, opening with a brigade re-
view by Acting Governor Atkinson and
staff. The review was one of the most
attractive formations yet undertaken
by the local militia in conjunction with
the battalion of United States artil-
lery companies from Camp Mckinley.
The troops We're in line divided TO
represent three distinct regiments, the
first, composed partly of regular ar d
militia companies, being commanded
by Lieut. Trotter, A. c., U. S. A., the
SeCOIu ny lIleul-Sol LelSleT, N. VI. II
and the third by Major Wall, N. G. II.
The troops We're drawn up on the race
track and on the approach of the Act
ing Governor the brigade presented
arms, and the Acting Governor passed
along the line and then returned to the
reviewing stand. The brigade then
passed in review before him.
Col. Jones of the First Regiment, N.
G. H., was the brigade commander.
Captain Nichols A. c., U. S. A., COM
mander of the artillery district of Ha-
wall, rendered the review to the Act
ing Governor. The latter was accom-
panied by Col. Soper, N. G. H., Major
Pratt, N. G.. H. Captain Nichols, y.

During the afternoon the order was
given to prepare to break camp. Blan-
