States criminal cases on the docket
making grand total of 1,13O cases
for Judge Gillette to look after, to
say nothing Of the grand jury and
countless motions that viii occupy his

1t was hoped that the greater part

favorable for much civil business

r. E. SMITHS WAY.
Strong, ForcefuI Man From Texas
Makes Hit in Oklahoma.

Mr.. r. e. Smith, of Sherman, Texas,
who addressed the Farmers Institute
yesterday, made a decided hit on his
Oklahoma admirers. 1t has been said
that the man who makes two blades OF
grass grow where only one grew be-
fore is a benefactor of the human
lace. If this be true, Texas can boast
the greatest philantropist of the twen'
tieth century in the person of Colonel
Smith. who is better known through
out the broad confines Of the United
states as the alfalfa king" of Texas.
Mr. Smiths address yesterday was
attentively listened to. He is a logi-
cal and forceful speaker he presents
in a plain and practical way the re-
suits of his experiments along farm
ing lines in general and the raising,
harvesting and marketing of alfalfa IN
particular. a constant flow of spark
ling wit and rare humor enlivening
his speeches and delighting his audi
ences. The articles of no other con-
tlibu.or to the prominent papers and
agricultural publications of the day
have been more widely quoted and
commented upon His writings are lu-
cid and 70 the point, strong with
sound suggestions, and yet so smooth
and entertaining wi,hal that he Is con-
standy besieged with letters begging
and demanding contributions.

Il Lost Opportunity.

This world is a mighty queer place"
said a prominent merchant the other
day, as he sat at lunch with a number
of his business associates. "a little
thing happened TO me this morning that
makes me think that if few of us
would do a little more thinking and act
less hastily the inhabitants of the world
would be better off,
Almost twenty years ago, when I
first started in business here and had
but small store on Battery street a
young man, or rather boy. came into
the place and asked me if 1 could give
him something to do. AS 1 was only
doing business enough to support my
self and one clerk felt compelled to re-
fuse him work, and told him so. He
was insistent. however, telling me
that he only wanted pay enough to buy
food and clothing He said he had been
all over town looking for work without
success, was without funds and needed
a place badly. I have recommended
tiones,' he finally said. offering for my
perusal a bunch of letters. 1 did not
look at them. and finally had to tell him
that l was too busy to listen TO him
and walk away from him. He stood for
a few minutes. and then with his head
hanging walked out of the store
This morning that young man, now
in his prime. walked into my store as
the representative of one of the largest
clothing houses in the world. As one of
the firm, he came to see me about
businss deal that meant much to me
in fact. meant the life or death of my
business. 1 sought for concessions, but
he was like adamant. and finally after
a business talk that lasted for several
hours he left the store. saying as he did
so, I will give you until noon to de-
eide
when he came for his answer | gave
it to him, consenting, of course, to the
terms he dictated. 1t was when the
cantract had been signed that / learned
who my sharp opponent was. He told
me of the little incident that happened
in my office twenty years ago. and said
that after leaving my place he had
gone to the water front, shipped for a
voyage around the Horn, landed in New
York and secured employment with the
firm which he now represented and in
which he was one of the junior part

For His Mother-iH-La7U.

HIS stepped on his tiptoes as he en-
tered the Emergency Hospital and
whispered into the ear of the matron
on duty that he wanted to see Chief
Surgeon Bracket on very important
business. The affable chief surgeon
bowed gracefully before him and in
uuired what he could do for him.
''You see," said he. Il am in danger
of my life. My mother-in-law has de-
cided to kill me and 1 want to protect
my life The truth of the matter is that
she is hopelessly insane, and to bring
her in here to be examined by the In
sanity Commissioners would make a
scene about my home that l do not
want. Now, / want you TO give me

will make her quiet until we can re-

ett. Just come this way" leading the
way back into the detention ward for
the insanity suspects. Two days later

on his way to the Hospital for the In

The Censors.

War correspondents are book writer's
in reserve; and this is their chief
function in modern campaigns In
South Africa the censorship was so
vigorously employed that the English
press did not receive any adequate re-
turn for its enterprise and the enor-
nous expense of the service. The spe-
cial dispatches were mutilated at head
quarters and held back by the block
ing of the cable lines; and the public
was mainly dependent upon the Off
cial dispatches for information, and
these We're condensed and often rem
dered unintelligible by inscrutable pro-
cesses of revision at the War Office. At
critical times, when there We're British
reverses Of when important movements
like Lord Roberts march to Kimberley
and Bloemfontein were impending,
London was the best center of news,
because there was more or less leakage
from official sources. There was
legitimate cause for complaint on the
part Of the English people, who were
paying heavily for the war in blood
and treasure. They were intensely in
terested in the campaign. yet were not

Of it from day to day; and this was
not in consequence of any lack of en-
terprise on the part of the London and
provincial journals. The press was
we'll represented by a competent staff
Of correspondents; but the military
censors were most arbitrary in their
methods, and the dispatches were held
back and clumsily edited and condensed
by officers who were without the train
ing and judgment requisite for an in
telligent discharge Of their functions.
Good descriptions of battles were re-
served for the mails, and were not
printed until a month or five weeks
after the hghting was over.-New York

whose word is coin current wherever it
Who mortgages effort TO pay what he

Whose hand in the highway Of bargains
A drive save where Honor is holding the
reins.
For this quaint little man. as is very
we'll known,
Has some old-fashioned doctrines and
creeds all his own.
His wealth is not measured by vessels
His shares are not many in bonds or in
But notion is his that a conscience at
Is the bargain of bargains in which TO
invest.
So his dealings and records all witness
To JUSTIFY Honor in holding the reins.
He sells a fun gallon of genuine milk.
A full yard Of cotton, full skein OF
silk;
His pepper and spices. his butter and
His coffee and lard are all strangers to
sham.
The sands of his life never flow to the

friends"
The "gold bricks Of fraud never dazzle
the brains
OF the man for whom Honor is holding

He is known to the trust" as a man
who can claim
A trust universal for spirit and aim;
The union he joined in his earliest
youth
The union of rectitude, conscience and
truth,
He goes on a strike" and he goes there
to stay,
When the tempter from justice would
lure him away.
He has wealth in the dearth OF material

The Fail of the Navy.

This is the true story of the Royal
Hawaiian Navy. 1t was in the days
of the kingdom Some one at the court
of the dusky islanders conceived the
idea that Hawaii should be graced by
a navy. This was particularly desired
because King Kalakaua had row on
hand with his brother monarch at
Samoa. So a navy was acquired.
The navy consisted of a converted
teak wood trading schooner fitted with
third mast and full rigged. The
Hawaiian admiralty provided the navy
with a lot of old brass cannons. en-
listed crew of natives and forthwith
sent them out to battle with the OBJ
streperous Samoans.
Away sailed the navy to the south
ward, bent on an errand that should
sustain the honor of the Hawaiian
flag and the prowess of the Hawaiian
bluejacket-if he wore a jacket.
A month passed and the month wore
into two months, with not word from
the seat of war. An anxious monarch
scanned the blue horizon with weary
eyes for a sign of the fleet. Not a
sign, until along about the eleventh
week came a message that the navy
was in distress off Hilo. Explanations
followed soon afterward. Everything
had gone we'll for few days until the
crew had consumed all of the square
bottle gin it had taken aboard, when
the cruise began. They could not fight
without gin and to get it the brave
tsrs were ready for any sacrifice. So
they put into Hilo. They traded the
brass cannOns for more gin and for
eleven weeks held out against no worse
a foe than the seductive distilled strong
waters from Holland. The navy re-
turned in disgrace. The admiralty
went out Of business and the flag was
lowered on the only ship in the navy.
For many years the KaimialOha was a
hulk in the Honolulu harbor. the last
and the only man-o-war the royal
family ever owned.
