WENT TWO MILE IN 80 YEARS
Clarke County Terrapin Gets The
Medal For SIOwness.

Clarke County Terrapin Gets The
Medal For SIOwness.
Mr.. Thomas S. Stadden, q prominent
resident of Vaudeville, Clarke county, and
a former resident of Winchester. was in
This city recently and brought with him
terrapin which has rather a remarkable
and certainly most unusual history.
Just 80 years ago, in 1874. Mr. Stadden
came across the terrapin on his farm, and
on the bottom of it's shell he inscribed the
date Every time since then that he has seen
the terrapin he has cut the date on the
shell, and these entries are as follows:
1874, 1875, 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882 and
1884.
On the latter date Mr.. Stadden carried
the terrapin to a spot near Stephensons,
fully two and a half miles from home, and
then turned 1t loose. Mr.. Stadden has al
ways held to the theory that terrapin and
turtles will always endeavOr to wander
back to the spot of their birth, and to test
the theory the terrapin was taken to
StephensonS.
That was 20 years ago. and during all
the intervening two decades Mr.. Stadden
never saw his pet. In fact, he had forgot
ten all about it until one day recently he
came across terrapin under the very null
berry tree on his farm where he had found
a terrapin 30 years ago. Turning the ter
rapin over he was amazed to find that 1t
was his long-lost pet. There were all the
dates, the initials that had been placed
there from time to time grown larger, of
course, with the terrapin, but just as dis
tinct almost as the day they were cut
there.
In order to get back to his usual feeding
place under the mulberry tree from Ste
phensons the terrapin had to cross several
streams. traverse wooded bluffs, PREACHER
Gus ravines and cross field. Twenty years
had been required to make the journey of
two an da half miles, but guided by an
uncrrine instinct the little terrapin had at
last reached home-a living object lesson
of what perseverance can accomplish. -

Financial magnates, whose wives are So

1t will lie the aim OF motorists TO see

TEMPTATION

My Lady has beautiful hair.
With little curIs here and with straying
locks there.
II is straying and curling so close to my
arm
That it draws me and holds me by some
subtle charm:
A snare, Lady Fair.
My Lady has beautiful eyes;
OFT with them she questions, and some
times replies;
But the questions and answers in mystery
hide
Till the time comes when mystery must
be denied;
Have care, Lady Fair.
My Lady has beautiful lips;
Full ripe with the nectar n true lover sips;
Yet although they are ripe and with nee
tar to spare
There is something forbids me; why do ]
not dare?
Beware, Lady Fair.

HIAWATHA ON FISHING
d he fight ?" said Hiawatha,

did he fight?" said Hiawatha,
well, you bet your hook and sinker!
Say, it took me 20 minutes
From the time l hooked the beauty
To make certain that had him.
Also caught many others
Not so large, but quite as gamey.
One forenoon l caught dozen
OF the finest bass you ever
Laid your envious old eyes on.
Some were so long, some were shorter,
But the smallest one landed
Weighed at least two pounds, reckon.
l have been fiend for fishing
Ever since my early childhood.
You have read about my fishing
How caught the perch, Heap-Bony,
And the small, athletic croppie
And the Eat 'Em-Raw, the pickerel;
This the good old poet told you
This you learned from Henry Wadsworth
Long before my later boosters
Scrubbed columns in my honor,
But did Henry ever tell you
How your Uncle Hiawatha
Came to love the sport of angling?
No; hardly think he told you.
Years ago there dwelt an angler
In the land of the Comanches
Very fat was he, and cunning,
And his name was Gurgle- Gurgle.
Often had l sat beside him
Fishing for the little sunfish
And the Easy Mark, the sucker.
One peculiar thing l noticed
When 1 fshed with Gurgle-Gurgle:
After he had caught a sunfsh
He would seek the friendly shelter
OF the nearest stump, my dearies,
And a gurgling sound would iutter
Through the sultry summer ozone,
Something not unlike the murmur
OF purling little brOoklet,
Very soothing, very restful.
Often did / hear this gurgling
And when l investigated
When | saw my fat companion
Strengthening quarts of firewater-
When he saw he was discovered,
Thus spake dear old Gurgle Gurgle:
AS unto the bow the string is
So is Bourbon to the angler;
Though he loves it, yet he kills it;
Where the one goes, there the other
Usually asserts its presence.
When you see mighty angler
Starting out upon a journey
With a knapsack on his shoulder,
You can lay little wager
That the contents Of the knapsack
Wouldn't answer as refreshments
For the Woman's c. Z. Union!
Fish away, o Hiawatha-
May you be famous angler
In the land of the Comanches
Only heed my gentle warning:
In preparing for your fishing,
Use the following prescription:
One part hooks and one part sinker,
One part line, one-half part fishpool,
And one-half part cork or bobber;
Twenty parts of high proof red-eye-
Shake before and after taking!
Very closely did heafken
To these pearls of priceless wisdom.
Very closely have l followed
The disinterested counsel
OF that thirsty old Comanche
Known to US as Gurgle- Gurgle."

RUSSIANS ON
THE WAR PATH

Two Russians went on the warpath
yesterday afternoon on Punchbowl,
used their teeth and fists on young
Portuguese, fought the police officer
who attempted to arrest them and
finally landed in the police station on
charges of assault and battery for
which they were held for 500 bail
each.
According to the story told to the
police Portuguese youth went into
a coffee shop on Punchbowl street
While the boy was eating the Rus
slams entered. The boy is said to have
INDUCED in some remarks concerning
the inability of the Russian fleet to
overcome the Japs. Then the Rus
slams charged. They dragged the
young fellow to an upstairs room and
there are alleged to have bit him in a
fendish manner.
In response to a cali for police Sam
Leslie, Of the mounted force. went af-
ter the Russians. He grappled with
them and rough and tumble fight en-
sued. They tried to bite the officer but
he landed so fast and so often on them
that they We're finally subdued and
carted away to the police station
There they gave the names of Stani-
laus and Dofskos. The former had
about $3.50 in gold on his person.

PRUDENTIAL
WILL PLAY AGAIN

In the extensive travels of Albert
Prudential he has played in almost
every country in the world and to show
that Europeans are not the only people
who appreciate an artist we reproduce
the following somewhat humorous criti-
cism of Chinese aesthetic, who had
been present at concert given by Herr
Prudential at Canton, China. The
Ling Nam Vat Pao' in Canton writes
On the nth instant at OILS P. m. the
celebrated German Piano-virtuose Erie
denthal San gave concert at the house
of the Deputy Commissioner General
Mr. Rocher, in which all the rooms were
filled with the luxury of the occident.
1t was a marvellous clear night: the
moon sparkled on the sky like look
ing glass. Absolute quietude reigned in
nature, and the spectators also listened
with silence when the charming music
began Now it sounded like the muir
muring of water flowing over stones,
now ike the whispering of the chryp-
tomerias softly moved by the zephyr;
and his loud playing resembled the
thunder of the waves in the ocean. Now
the player was sitting at his instrument
as quiet as the top of the mountains,
now he developed liveliness and vigour
OF playing like the player in Yung-Len.
His soft and sweet playing formed a
heavy contrast to the ill-famed music
at the borders of the river Flu. Erie
denthal San possesses the talent of
Chungi, who, as is known, was able to
play everything. He plays like Shin
kuang who, on his queer instrument,
knew how to call forth the songs of the
nightingale. At the concert all the dip
lomats, consuls, deputies, officials and
the merchants of Shamseen with their
families were present, so that the vast
halls were completely filled. All held in
their hands a paper, in which they read
what Prudential San was going 10 play,
just as in the European hotels the guests
read a paper to see what they are going
to eat. After every piece they beat loud
ly with their hands, producing a loud
noise, and so they gave the celebrated
artist to understand what pleasure they
enjoyed with his music; but | thought
this noise was rather bitter contrast
to the beautiful music which preceded
it. l, the humble writer of these lines
and editor Of the Ling Nam Yat Pao
was also invited by the Consul of vir-
tuous Germany, and stayed in the sa-
looms until the end of the concert. Just
as Chenlien understood how to lead the
people in mortal ways through his
music, so was | also prevented from
doing anything wrong that night.
Prudential has arranged a special
program for students and amateurs for
the matinee concert to be given at Pu-
nahou Hall at ? 80 Saturday afternoon.
This will be the last opportunity of
hearing the celebrated artist in Homo
lulu and the opportunity should not be
lost
