SHE HAD RECEPTION DAY.

When the strange woman had called
on the young couple in the neighborhood
she left a card bearing. beside her name,
the word Thursday" but the young
couple have a way of misplacing valuable
trifes Of this sort, and they promptly lost
the card. They also have things to think
of other than the days of the weeks.
and they forgot all about the mystic
word on the card.
When they were ready to return the
call they found they had a free evening
on Wednesday, and so they went then.
The husband rang, the bell at the house
and after some time, during which they
had space to observe that the hall was
uncommonly dark the door was opened
for them by the lady herself.
why, it is Mr.. and Mrs. Blank isn't
it," she said. peering into the vestibule.
81 rather thought you would come some
Thursday evening. Come in. and will
you excuse me while l 80 upstairs and
change this negligee gown for something s
more conventional? If il had been Thurs
day, you would have found me clothed
and in my right mind, but l never eX-
pect any one on Wednesday, So l was
resting Aren't servants veXatiouS? My
maids will stay in on Thursdays when
they know l entertain, but the other
nights of the week they claim for them
selves. They are so spoiled.
When the lady had gone upstairs to put
on conventional attire. Mr.. Blank turned
to Mrs. Blank: Were being scolded,
aren't WEI" he asked in a stealthy wills
at the back Of the gloomy drawing room
and went upstairs.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Blang broke into
hysteTical CYCLES. and they were still try
ing to straighten out their faces and the
ways of this mysterious household when
the hostess came downstairs wearing
handsome gown.
Il wouldn't have put on my negligee so
early this evening" she said as soon as
she entered the room, but l have been
down town all day preparing for my
Thursday Visiting florists and confec-
TONERS takes it out of one dreadfuIly,
but no trouble is too great TO make peo-
pie comfortable, is it,
Mr.. and Mrs. Blank said they didn't
think it was.
Mrs Blank said Yes" rather vaguely
and Mr.. Blank touched her surrepttious-
ly on the foot as an indication that it
was time to go. but before the visitors
HAD time to make their adieu their hos
tess had mentioned Thursday three or
more times, and always in capitals When
she bade goodbye TO Mrs. olank she
said. Come TO see me some Thursday.
won't YOU
Il find that Thursday is a very con-
venient day for almost every one. 1t is
neither the beginning nor the end Of the
weeH you see.
But Mrs. Blanks patience had come TO
an end. No" she said with great dis
tinctness; Il resret very much that 1
shall not he able 10 call on one of your
reception days. l have enga gements for
every Thursday there IS or ever Will be
good-nght and then she went down the
steps. leaving the almost historical Mr..

THE McGURN.VIDA CASE.

1t is not easy to reconcile the dis
missal of Deputy Sheriff McGurn with
the merit system which ought to gov
ern all appointments in the civil SER
vice of the Territory. No charge has
been made against McGurn; his COM
potency and faithfulness are admitted.
He had to go simply because another
man, who had been of service in the
late election, wanted his job. A party
debt was to be paid and McGurn was
not the man to whom it was owing.
To turn out a good man for one who
is no better-putting the relative value
mildly-but who asks to be provided
for is a process Hawaii is not used to
and one which introduces the worst
features of spoils politics. Such meth
ods have always had the hearty dis
approval of President Roosevelt and
of all men who put good government
above the payment of organization
debts,
The Hawaiian gazette., 1904-12-06

An article in the Weekly hawaii
shinpo on the Kooiau ''moonshining"
case contains the following passages.
respectively in the opening and in the
closing. which quite furnish the gist
OF the whole:
/. "The Koolau japanese who are
accused OF making okolehao and who
claim to have paid a deputy sherin
for the privilege, stand I'm the position
OF men who have done wrong with the
permission OF the best authority they
knew OF, supposing that their story of
money paid to the deputy sheriff Is
true
2. "The Sunday laws have been
openly and hagrantly violated, by per-
mis- ion of High Sheriff Brown for
years,--not for any payment. of course,
but by rea,son of general public senti-
ment against enforcing such laws too
strictly. When the police changed and
the violations were ordered stopped,
there were no prosecutions for the
offenses already done. Why? Because
the offenses had been committed with
permission of the highest police au-
thority having jurisdiction. The case
is exactly the same with the Waialua
japanese distillers."
Not quite so. The Sunday law in
dulgence was tacitly almost universal
and not responsive to individual re-
quests. 1t was as much of public as
of police consent. The Government it
self gave a broad construction, saying
70 10 a.,
day band concerts. When the very
author of the Sunday law was in
supreme command of the military. he
permitted rifle target practice in the
heart of the city and sham battles in
the suburbs on Sunday. None of the
privileges mentioned were bought.
There is a pretty wide distinction be-
tween that state of affairs and the
conditions created by japanese who or
ganized with capital to buy immunity
of punishment for variety of offenses
against laws upon the utility and
necessity of which the community has
never been divided in sentiment. If
the Koolau Japanese distillers knew
enough to be aware that there was a
law from which they needed to be
protected, then they distilled liquor
knowing that it was in viola ton of
law. No doubt in the world also, they
knew that the bribing of police officers
was an additional violation of law.
They at all events knew where they
might find respectable fellow country
men who would gladly have advised
them rightly in both respects. 1t will
be a benefit to other japanese, any
way. to make an example of these-if
proved guilty-which will quickly be
known by people of that nationality
all over the Territory

THE SUNDAY PAPER.

Hawaii Nei a Generation Ago" Will
continue in the Sunday paper, with
copious illustrations of scenes and peo-
pie. These old-time impressions of the
late Charles Nordhoff have been fol-
lowed with general interest by kama
ainas and mal1hinis alike.
Sol n. Sheridan will have a depart
ment of his own in the Sunday issue,
headed Small Talks" which the read
ers of the paper will find fresh and
interesting.
The other departmental features, So
ciety, The Bystander, Mr. Logan's
Commercial column, etc, will not lack
for scope or cogency.
The local and cable news, the edi-
torial comment, the bright and snappy
pictures, the well-chosen miscellany
will need all the space the new 12-page
form can give them.

MORE succts TO CRIME.

Another total miscarriage of justice
has taken place In the trial and acqult-
tai OF Mahaulu-a result brought about
in the main by the technical rulings OF
Judge Gear in favor OF the defendant.
This trial has been In marked contrast
with the one held few weeks ago be-
fore Judge Robinson in which l.. $.
Boyd was arraigned. In that case
practically the same state of facts ex-
listed. Boyd had been chief of the Land
Department and Mahaulu was his chief
clerk. Both had been falsifying records
for years and between them some S1O.-
900 or 1000 were stolen. The only
difference noted at the two trials was
the manner in which the judges han
died the law. The Boyd trial only last
ed three days and the jury, fairly and
impartlally instructed, found a verdict
of guilty within five minutes. In the
present case, thanks to Judge Gears
assiduous use of technicalities in favor
of the accused, the trial took eleven
days, ending in the unanimous acquit-
tai of a man who, according to his own
corroborated statement, has, for five
years past, been looting the treasury.
Apparently Judge Gear is resolved
upon ending his career on the bench
as he began it, by encouraging, re-
warding and "vindicating" Crime to
the success of which he once pledged
a toast at a banquet given by Chi
nese law-breakers- whose most effec-
tive enemy, accused by them of crimi-
nal libel he had caused to be put be-

OBJECTIONS TO FARMING.

Mr.. HanneStad re1OlnS 10 the AuVer-
tiser's answer to his letter on diver
sified farming, in substance as fol-
lows:
% He admits that the American
pioneers went without a market much
of the time when they We're pushing
the frontier westward, but asks us Ito
consider the wrecks that are lying along
that road
Wrecks to b. sure. AS Bismarck said,
when an omelet is to be made some
eggs must be broken" There are
wrecks at sea, but ocean commerce does
not stop for that. There are conflagra-
tions in cities, but the growth of cities
does not cease. Drouths and grass
noppcrs spoil g seasons crop, but farm
ers keep on tilling the soil. When one
suggests leaving Hawaiian public lands
to the underbrush because some farm
ers may fail in tilling them, he sum-
mons progress to wait on the tagging
pace of the unlucky or the incompetent.
, Happily that is not the spirit which
has enabled the United States to do
more development in 100 years than any
European State has done in 300.
(2) Mr.. Hannestad, answering the
plea that white farmers would cause
/ villages to grow up, where tradesmen,
mechanics and professional people
would gather, says that We have more
| than enough of such inhabitants al
ready"
True enough, on the basis of the pres
ent population. Not true as respects a
large additional population of white
lytf ,f 1nt tnr
rest of the United States has, is the
sort we want.
(3.) Pioneer conditions" says Mr..
Hannestad, ARE not to be compared
with the conditions on these islands
today"
That is to say ours are better-more
favorable to the pioneer.
a. Where are the steamers to take
away the farmers products?"
That question was asked of the plant
ers many years ago. The answer came
with two lines of inter-island steamers
which, carried the sugar to Honolulu
where 1t was trans-shipped upon east
bound vessels. Farmers who raise sisal
, pineapples, tobacco, rubber vanilla
a bananas, etc, may avail themselves o.
a the same facilities; and as their out
n put Increases, their facilities will in
crease.
a C5) 1T was not the farmers wh'
built the railroads on the mainland; /
n was the railroads that built the farm
a ers."
a That refers to the prairie West. Il
a the East there was a great farmin
a population long before the railroa
a came. There was a fair-sized one
a the Western border States, Kansas an
n Nebraska, for example. But back Eas
a farming went on prosperously from tn
a middle of the seventeenth century ur
til the forties, when the railroad came
N The richest agricultural region in Ger
NJ tral New York was forty to sixty mile
