with one hand, had gone through dads
pockets with the other. Dad felt for
his watch, to see what time it was, and
his watch was gone, and the waiter was
waiting for the money and dad tried
to explain that he had been buncoed,
and the head waiter came and begun
to act sassy, and then they called a
policeman to stay by us till the money
was produced, and everybody at the
other tables laughed, and dad turned
blue, and l thought he would have a
fit. Finally, the guide began to talk,
and the result was that a policeman
went home with us, and dad found
money enough to pay the bill, but he
talked language that caused the land
lady to ask us to find a new place
The next morning the guide showed
up with an officer who had warrant
for dad for hugging woman in a pub
lie cafe, and it seemed as though we
were in for it, but the guide said he
could settle the whole business by pay

chance to think of his sickness.
This morning we went into a big
department store, and, by gosh! we
found the count that dad was going to
fight was f1oor-walker, and the cOun-
tess was behind a counter sell
ing soap. When dad saw the
count leering at him, he put his hand
on his pistol pocket and yelled regu-
lar cowboy yell, and the count rushed
down into the basement, the soap coun-
tess tainted, and the police took dad to
the police station, and all day the
guide and l have been trying to get
him out on bail. If we get dad out of
this we are going to put muZzle on
him. Well. if anyone asks you if 1 am

Reality of Ignorance.

After all are we not still ignorant
or much which we feel we ought to
understand? Apart from the great
laws Of electricity, light and heat.
about which we know something, but
certainly not all, asks the London
Spectator, are we not almost hope
lessly ignorant of some of the laws
which govern the lives of animals?
Do we know, for instance, what is
the law which makes it possible for
a bee carried five or six miles from
her home, blind in dark box, to find
her way back to the hive? What is
the sense exercised by the antennae
OF the virgin moth, which, set out in
a muslin box on a lawn, attracts
away in all the country round? What
Is the attraction felt or choice de-
cided upon by the. tendril of the climb
ing Plant which turns aside from the
smooth wall to catch at and wrap
around the nail or the ledge or the
projection which is to help it upward ?
All that is unknown, hardly even
guessed at; and if there is so great
an ignorance of what can be seen. is
it logically to be argued that there is
not greater ignorance of what is I'M
seen? One thing at least is certain
the reality of that ignorance.

Modern Ways in Japan.

Japan long since copied European
methods of warfare to excellent pur-
pose. To-day she is adopting the fri
volties. Until recently jewelry, for in
stance, was tabooed, but now even gen.
tlemen are often seen with a thick
gold ring, made out of an old Japanese
coin called "koban." The study of the
of new custom is inter-
esting. AS to kissing, it is rather a
delicate subject to touch upon, but it
cannot be dismissed with general
statement that Gin affection and love
the Japanese are outwardly undemon-
strative." All depends upon circum-
stances. kissing as practised in the
west is still strange to them, but no
one who knows about it would wonder
if a young couple of modern Japan
should take to it to express their love.

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL.

RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.

Mrs. Van scoy Experiences Dangerous
After-Enects from Grip and Learns
Value of q Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di.
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-aA
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia. bronchitis. rheumar
tism. nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores Of victims OF
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the.
base of the skull; another was left tired.
faint and in every way wretched from
anamia or scantiness Of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous aud
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness Of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
81 had severe attack of grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began was so lame
for a week that could hardly walk. Il
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give up completely and for
three weeks was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
"While was suffering in this way I
CHANGED to run across little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it i'm
pressed me and led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing needed.
Improvement set i'll IS soon as began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time I had finished the first box

Just In Time
THE CAPTAIN OF THE ERNEST
FAREWELL EXPERIENCE.

The ship Ernest Reyer was attached
and released yesterday and went to sea
after her captain had been forced to
pay lot of costs of court incurred in
OBTAINING her here. She was caught
just i'm time by the writ of attachment
issued by Judge Dole in behalf of the
Oahu Railway and Land Company. De-
putty United States Marshal Winter
went after her i'm a launch, after she
had left the wharf and was passing the
lighthouse, being tOwed by the Fearless.
The deputy got aboard and presented
the court papers to the captain, who
promptly and quite naturally declared
that he didn't want them.
1t was impossible for the ship to stop
where she was, and she continued out
wards and anchored off the harbor.
Then Captain Dieulangard came ashore
He was a very angry captain. He said
that Honolulu was a city of crooks.
MY heart ees too good for ices place."
said the angry skipper. L will moth

ing without paying the sum of $1S7.
claimed by the railway company as
wharfage charges After taking a good
look at the papers and consulting legal
advice, the captain decided to pay up
and he did so. A dscOntinuance of the
suit was therefore filed.
The Selling of the vessel was one of
the quickest jobs of the kind on re-
cord. 1t was not until the captain had
cleared and was cutting loose from the
wharf that the railway company de-
cided that she was trying to get away
without paying the wharf charges. A
suit was drawn up by ]. J. Dunno and
a launch was secured with which to
serve the papers, with the result that
they were in the hands of the captain
just as he was passing the lighthouse.
His effort to get away added about $50
in court costs to his bill, aside from
the delay and counsel fees. His action
in leaving is said to have been due to
a misunderstanding.
The Ernest Reyer had very unlucky
trip here. She began her experienced
by going ashore off Diamond Head
and heavy salvage bills were paid by
her for being pulled off.

Who Is
Acting
Treasurer?
CAMPBELL'S DEPARTURE MAKES
POSSIBLE.

Who is the acting treasurer of the
Territory of Hawaii in the absence Of
A. J. Campbell, who took the last
steamer with a valise full of bonds for
sale? The question is one that may
assume considerable Importance in
view of possible local efforts to bid
for the bonds. There have been in
quiries from parties here as to the pos
sibilities of buying the bonds, and it
was stated, up to the time when the
treasurer suddenly left, that local bid
ders would be given a chance. AS it
is now there does not seem to be any
one here who may receive bids, and
the bonds have been taken away.
The departure of Campbell is sur
rounded with considerable mystery. 1t
was sudden determination, for he
spent the whole of the night before he
left affixing his signature to the bonds
to get them ready.

PIONEER VISITORS.

MIR. and Mrs. Jas R Smith of Iowa
Falls, came TO Denison last week especial
ly to attend the Old Settlers Picnic and
they tell US that they were more than re.
paid for coming. They were warmly
greeted by hundreds of old time friends
and they were greatly pleased to hear
Secretary Shaw once more. Mrs. Smith
said that when Mr.. Shaw made his first
gubernatorial campaign they drove twenty
miles to hear him speak and felt that it
vas we'll worth the trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith are certainly of
the salt of the earth and we are glad that
they have not forgotten their Crawford
county friends. The esteem in which
they are held in Iowa Falls is attested by
the beautiful gold watch and chain worn
by Mrs. Smith and the handsome gold
headed cane which Mr.. Smith proud y
carries. both of which were presents from
friends and neighbors on their 5oth we'd
ding anniversary.
1t is our sincere hope that these we'll
known pioneers will find their way to many
oldsettlers picnics in the years to come.
While in the city they we're guests of
