Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke with a start and
a shake,
And wondered why papa
Was so wide awake;
A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to shout.
"Oh, why did we make such a fearful
mistake
"Oh, John dear, I fear that
My poor heart will break,
Unless you will promise
That tomorrow you'll call
Bath, the plumber, and have him
Go over it all.
And then no more leaks,
For we know that it's true,
That folks always call Bath
When there's plumbing to do

Powahatan Tribe was instituted on
June 30th 1908, or in Indian language
the Both Sun Hot Moon, Great Sun of
Discovery Az, the Order taking its date
from the discovery of America by CO.
lumbus.
The Improved Order of Red Men was
organized as the ''Sons of Liberty
when the struggle for liberty in the
colonies, afterwards the United States
of America, was in its infancy and
from the very beginning made a name
for itself. 1t was a party of the Sons
of Liberty who, disguised as Indians,
Instituted the so-called Boston Tea
Party" They took a very prominent
part in the stirring events of those
times, which finally resulted in victory
for the arms of the colonists and the
formation of the United States of
America. The order is therefore truly
called "a patriotic order" and to be-
come member of it, requires that the
applicant shall be a citizen of the
United States.
For a number of years Hawaiian
Tribe No. l has been in existence 1t
has had its trials and adversities and
is today one of the most prosperous
fraternal societies in Honolulu. Pow
hatan Tribe No. starts it's second
term under very promising conditions
and with energetic officers at its head
there is every prospect that the new
Tribe will give the old one close
race.

CONTEMPT BLOCKS TRIAL
The trial of Hankuchi Tarayama for
conspiracy to violate the laws was
INT rTafo IN hn
terday morning by the contumacious
conduct of a female witness. Mura
Kuhara she gave as her name, 26 as
her age and an affirmative answer to
the question If she had lived in Japan.
When asked if she had lived in Ho-
nolulu she refused to answer, referring
District Attorney Breckons to her law
yer if he wanted to know more about
her.
Judge Dole ordered her to answer
the question, overruling Attorney
Thompson's claim that she had the
privilege of not discriminating herself.
The courts order had no effect on the
witness, who twice repeated her re-
fusal.
Mr.. Breckons moved that she be COM
mitted to Jail until ready to obey the
court, urging that Japanese methods
should not be allowed to prevail in
American Jurisprudence.
Judge Dole committed the woman to
jail until 10 o'clock this morning, when
she will be given an opportunity to
purge herself of contempt. He denied
Mr.. Thompson's request to interview
the witness in jail, remarking that ii
was an improper one to make. The
trial was then adjourned till this morn

Figures Seems to Show Man Should
Exist for a Century.
There has been very little, if any
change in the duration of mans life
since the days of the patriarchs; that
is, some four or five thousand years
ago. Every one did not attain to great
age in those days, any more than they
do to-day, for various reasons stated
in the Bible. Abraham lived to be It's
years old (but his two younger broth
ers appears to have died before him)
Abraham's wife, Sarah, lived to be 127
years old; Isaac lived to be 100; 1sh-
mael lived to be 1877; Jacob lived to
be 147; Joseph lived to'be 10; Kohatt
lived to be 1873; his son, Amram, lived
to be 1877; his son, Moses, lived to be
100; Aaron was three years older than
his brother, and died some years Ee-
fore him; Joshua lived to he 10.
The number of persons reported III
1900 as centenarians and over was:
England, 10; Ireland, SIS; Scotland,
46; Sweden, 10; Norway, %; Belgium,
5; Denmark, 2; Switzerland, none:
Spain, 4O1; Servia, SIS; France, 213.
This is not by any means complete
list, as only some countries are given,
but it helps to prove that we should
live to be 120 years or over, and that
we do not do so was not the plan or
intention of the Almighty.

Value of Animals in the United States

N al l, of e. animals i" the United States
~, lis in the Billions.
Very few people have any idea OF
the pagnitude of the live stock in
dustry of the United States. II shown,
by official government count, that the
horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep and
goats in the United States number
more than 220,O0O,000 head, and that
their value is, according to the same
authority, more than $3,2O0,o00,000
(see twelfth census of the Upited
States), the figures alone would have
very, little attraction -er%-meaning to-
the majority of readers. But when
told, in addition thereto, that these
animals would make solid column OF
more than eighty-nine abreast reach
ing from San Francisco to Boston, or,
if placed in single file, solid process"
sion that would reach nearly ten
times around the earth; and, further,
that their value exceeds the total COM
bined value of all the corn, wheat and
other cereals, potatoes, hay, cotton,
sugar, molasses, tobacco, lumber,
wool, coal, petroleum, silver, gold and
precious stones, iron, copper, lead,
zinc and other metals produced annu-
ally in the whole country, then per-
haps some adequate conception may
be formed concerning the magnitude
and Importance of the live stock in

Those thirty-fNe American "Rhoees

These difficulties have, however, no
terrors for the thirty-ive. They have
other views. Ben Price, a graduate OF

England, which is supposed to have
nothing but birds and relatively small

of animals. There is the handsome

has been some confusion in the past
between pigmies and dwarfs. The lat
ter are found for the most part in the
little forest and on the outer edge of
the great Forest whereas the pig
mics are we'll within the great forest.
Pigmies and dwarfs are distinct in
physiognomy.
"Entering the great forest from The
south end of. the mountains of the

lands, I came across the pigmies in

GUS fact that the pigmies pitch their
camps within about half a days jour-
ney of the big savages-the giant saw

had to sleep fully armed, I was never
attacked.
1T has been my invariable rule to
treat natives as gentlemen. I find
that the greatest savage appreciates
kindness and consideration. In ny

There are some graphic touches in
the report of Lieut.. Fred S. Young IN
which he tells of a battle in Mindanao
last summer About 4:3O this morn
Ing" he writes, 1.-The enemy attacked
us from across the river at our camp,
Just below the outpost near the MORO
camp. The command turned out
promptly and drove them Off IN less
than fifteen minutes. AS soon as the
men could obtain breakfast | took
thirty across the river to follow the
trail if possible We left camp-at $50
and aarrived in front of the enemy at
about 1890. AS we approached the
enemy's position the trail opened into
one more distinct in appearance,
through a slough 800 feet from the en-
emy's position. This is the trail we
were in during the fight which fol-
lowed. We had gone some 75O yards
on this trail and were, found later,
within fifty yards of the river when
the guide stopped and held up his
hand. Camper the Moro interpreter,
who was with him, said to me, 'Mucho
heinte.' / kept the command quiet
and sent the Interpreter forward to
reconnoiter Our position was on the
edge of the river and could not lind
more than twenty feet of ground to
operate on. Although l had the high
grass broken on either side OF our
line nothing but water was found.
eve were cooped on this spot for
forty-five minutes, during which time
we fired and, were fired upon inces-
sanity. So soon as the enemy re-
turned our fire my men were ordered
to lie down and l kept them down.
1t was a brave man who stood up, as
the enemy knew our position and had
firm ground up and down the river on
their side. They had positions from
behind which they fired and they kept
their cover we'll. Four OF our men
were wounded The enemy's casual
ties were unknown. We fired over
1900 rounds, and fifty of the enemy
killed is considered conservative
estimate. The men Of our side were
hit trying to get good aim over the
nlSu grass, anu udu " IlSc DSlluu
cover to do it. They all deserve great
credit for their work. They were hit
at various times, and not until the sur
geon urgently recommended that they
needed prompt attention did the COM
mand retire. .,> .~'
II spent. thirty minutes trying to
find place from which l could flank
the enemy, but found none; we could
hardly get room to fire. The men
we're kneeling in a mud hole, half I'M
der water We seemed to be on the
only firm ground on our side. When
the order was finally given to retire
we had silenced the enemy's fire, and
the command was ordered to fire Vol7
leys. There seemed to be no way to
cross the river, and as much as l de-
sired to actually stand upon the en-
emy's ground, we had to console our
selves with view from our position.
Our return was slow. We put the
wounded on litters, and they carried
well. The men used bolos through
the jungles and literally cut our way
back to camp"
