AN UNRUlY ASSISTANT.

|
Filed among the correspondence OF
the Lighthouse Board at Washington
are two brief epistles the dates of
which show that the first was written
about six months before the second.
They look precisely like any ordinary
business correspondence. they We're re-
ceived In good faith by the board. and
no one reading them casually, would
suspect what tale OF domestic woe
hangs thereby. An inspector, making
his usual rounds, discovered the facts.
An freshman named McFadden had
charge or lighthouse near one OF the
lake ports. He was a small, wiry per-
son OF about 80 pounds In weight. His
WIFE more than made up for anything
that he lacked In size or muscle. for
she was a brawny, stalwart woman of
200 pounds. She was, moreover. the
possessor OF violent temper. and
there were times when the timorous,
understood lighthouse keeper did NOT
dare to call his soul his own.
His duties at the lighthouse were
somewhat arduous. so when Mrs. Nc
Fadden happened to be In a pleasant
frame or mind. she sometimes helped
her rather inefficient partner with the
lamps She learned one day that her
husband was entitled to an assistant
OF his own choosing. and she suggest
ed that since she did the work she. |
properly. was the person who should
be appointed TO draw the comfortable
salary. Mr.. McFadden, however.
promptly objected, saying that he was
certain that the board would never
give the position to a woman.
Just send In the application. she
urged. "and tell them you're wanting
II Tor your relative. j. McFadden. Sure
they'll never know whether IT'S for
John or for Jane. and / can do the
work as well as any man"
Mr.. McFadden reluctantly sent In the
application, and in due time u. Nc
radden' was regularly appointed first
assistant at the lighthouse. The pros
pect or the salary brought joy 10 the
assistants heart. and all went well for ,
l time.
AFTER a while. however. Mrs. Nc I
saoden. always a trying person TO 8
I've with. became so independent on )
he strength OF her separate income .
hat poor McFadden found life with :
Ter entirely insupporta Affairs
eached climax one day when the r
taIwart Jane laid her superior officer
cross her knee. and In the presence 4,
4 visitors deliberately spanked him >
Nth the hair brush.
McFadden, OF course, was unabrs r
physically to retaliate, but mentally he
roved fully equal to the occasion. Re
ring to the lighthouse tower. where
e was safe from intrusion, he wrote
he following letter:
To the Lighthouse Board.
"Gentlemen-I respectfully request
nat my assistant. j. McFadden. be re-
loved for dlsobedience and insubordl
ation- Faithfully yours.
Patrick McFadden."
As the lighthouse keeper had been
lie judge Of the fitness OF his own as II
slant in the beginning, the board saw &
D reason why he should not now be a !
roper judge OF insubordination, so
IS request was granted.

CHORAL SOCIETY MAKES
TERMS WITH STOCKTON

There is every reason now to ex-
pect that Mr.. Stockton, leader of the
L. s. flagship New York s band, will
directing musical talent of Honolulu.
The spirited efforts of the Honolulu
Symphony Society to bring about such
an event have come to definite head.
At meeting Friday night the society
tested its financial capacity for meeting
Mr.. Stockton s terms with a gratifying
result.
Mr.. Stockton has asked for 800 a
month, with perquisite hardly worth
mentioning added. It was thought at
first that to meet his terms a choral
society would have to be organized and
assume half the expense. But at the
Symphony Soeiety's meeting last night,
with but one-fourth of the members
present, a subscription list was started
with a result that induced the meeting
to vote forthwith, unanimously, its
sense that alone it would be able to en-
gage Mr.. Stockton s services. The en-
gagement as stipulated by himself was
to be for six months.
In the meantime the promotion of a
choral society is proceeding favorably
". Matlock Campbell, the former treas
urer of the now defunct Philharmonic
Society, is eanvassing among the mem
bership of that late body and other
devotees of vocal muse with consider
able success.
Mr.. Stockton has led orehestras in
| nearly all the capitals of the world.
For five years he was leader of the
| Johannesburg Wanderer Society. com
| posed of over 1000 members. Honolulu
at large may well be proud if it num-
bers a man of Mr.. Stockton s caiber
among its musical masters.

/ A spruce looking stranger, in

Yesterday morning, leaped out at the

dashed into the Governors Office, and

there is not another of the type in
these diggings. Maybe the stranger
was a type of himself. He had face
enough, anyway, for a whole font of

The man in the green auto was con-
spicuous figure all over town yester-
day. And he was "the typical Amer
ican' wherever he went. AT least he
said that he was. A man ought to
know what he is himself-although
a good many don't. The name of this
one was Charles j. Glidden, and he
was from Massachusetts, and a through !
passenger on the Moana, touring the
world with the big green auto. Most I
likely, on shipboard, he rides back and /
forth on the promenade deck in his car, |
for he is man who must keep in mo-
ton. He says that, too, hlmSeH. IN
cidentally, he is the agent for the

book or two, although he said nothing |
about that. He did announce his con- I
nection with the bank. THE Traders
