REDFIsH
Of Hawaii ForeteII the Election of
 Candidate Parker.

Honolulu Cor. New York Herald.
 The reddish are running. To the native Hawaiians this statement is fraught with the greatest significance. To the native 1t means that either a death in the royal family will occur soon or there will be a political change of government.
 The fish began running more than a week ago. They are seldom seen, but when they do enter the harbor of Hon. olulu or go over the reefs about the is- lands the superstition of the native is immediately aroused and death or polit- ical change Is looked for.
 When the redfsh ran two years ago a political change certainly occurred, for the native leader. Robert w. Wilcox, was defeated by the republicans
 The fish again ran eighteen months ago, and their appearance was followed by the death of Prince Albert Kuniakea the last of the famous Kamehameha dynasty.
 The native declares that the coming of the redfish this year means that there is to be a political change. They say the fish have appeared in far greater num- bers than ever before, and this means that some big change Is about to occur. They assert that it means that there will be change of government on the main land.
 They are Parker fish, tell you" ex- claimed an old native yesterday News papers say Parker likes to swim The fish like him for that. They come to tell of his victory"

ANCIENT THAMES.


 From Leslie's Weekly.
 Once upon tyne there lived h olde Dogge who satte oute on ye streeHe cor ner & gave advice
 Yea, tte was soc thatte no other nAgge could pass thatte way withoute carfNA ing away with hymmo a large hunk 1 valuable advice. Ye olde Dogge chargedy naught for itte butte was lmmeasurabie gladde to be able to give itte gratis God wot.
 Ye Olde Dogge hymselfe grew ragged & seedie. There were ratnests inne hys hayre & burrs inne hys tayle yet he wlst notte of these thyngs. He was so busie giving advice.
 Ye heas roved over hys mangy hyde, but he was too busle even to scratch. Foxes sneaked into ye back yard & stole ale ye poultry, butte ye Olde Dogge knew naught of itte He was notte fox-hound He was chronic glyer of advice.
 1 Whenne other dogges were hard atte work burying bones thys Olde Dogge would have some other dogge cornered. | handing out wealth of advice regarding l ye care of hys coat and How to Sue ceed He knew itte aIle-from ye bot | tom round of ye ladder of success plub to rye top Intercollegiate never hadde he climbed ye sedde | dder. | He was Il dogge of theories. He wist | notte thatte a theory thatte hath been proved is whatte meme love. Hys theo- ries might be wrong-but they were good | theories, anyway. 1 Now itte came to pass thatte ye Olde | Dogge began to wake uppe. He saw ale I ye other dogges sleek & prosperous. l They were fatte & they hadde one & ale manic bones buried out in ye back yard agaynst ye rainie day. Butte ye olde Dogge hadde naugbt save ye rheumatism & board bile. He had lost hys voice giving advice; butte ye dogges who hadde listened to hys ad- saying:
 "What a bore Old Towser Is. to be surel"
 Theme ye olde Dogge crawled under ye house to die, saying:
 Behold! Ale my life have l been busio giving advice-whenne marry and alaekl I hadde notte sense enough to take care of mine own prosperlue!' and he died.
 And this Is ye lesson we gather from ye life and death of ye Olde Dogge:
 First Wizzle If thy advice be good take lite myself. If itte be badde-keep itte to myself.
 Second Gurgle: Lette everie manne take care of hymself-and ye world will | be comfortable.
 Third Sneeze: Ere thou give advice be sure itte is goode Ere thou take itte- be twice sure.

Chicago Culture.

IL appears that not long ago was held
q competitive examination for q sec
ond class clerkship In the Chicago Pub
lie library. Fifty-two men and women
took the examination, and some Of the
replies are delightfully."- interesting
these for example:
"Who is the author of Quo VadisY
was one of the questions asked.
LILLIAN Russle,n wrote one Of the
applicants,
Mention one person in astronomy
who became famous, and state in what
century and country he lived" was an
other question.
christopher Columbus discovered
America In 1892. He was a Russian
was one answer.
There is touch of the pathetic in the
answer Of the man who, when asked
to mention five books he had read in
the past two years and to comment on
the authors, replied:
Il could not spare time to read works
for pleasure, being married and the
father Of large family"
After all, it is not well to laugh at
these people. Perhaps they needed the
job.
