A LOST APOLOGY.

The Professor of Philosophy, says a
story in "Harper's Magazine" absent
minded and full of enthusiasm, came
into the sitting-room.
What beautiful woman Mrs. Ray
rnond isl" he exclaimed. 'I have just
had such a pleasant talk with her in
the book store
His wife looked up from her sewing.
"John." she exclaimed, where Is
your collar?"
The Professor Of Philosophy put his
hand to his throat. II must have left
it at the barber shop. Yes, that's it.
I went to the barber shop; then to the
book store. Why he ended lamely,
Mrs Raymond would think it very
careless of me to appear in public with
out my collar. wouldn't she?"
Rather" said his wife. Perhaps
you'd better call her up and tell her
just how it happened"
Exactly said the professor.
The professor went to the telephone.
Hello, Central, hello. Hello-is this
Mrs. Raymond? Yes? Well, really, it
was very stupid of me, Mrs. Raymond;
but, you know, I had been thinking of
something very important, and 1 quite
forgot to put on my collar. I-oh.-
ah!-good-by.''
The professor suddenly hung up the
receiver. He gave utterance to mild
exclamation.

RANCHMAN'
BIONTOLOGy
Cows With Old Bodies
but Souls Still
Young.

Willie Spencer was under crosse
animation yesterday and gave some in
teresting sidelights on a cowboys life
on the Parker Ranch. There is ap-
parently no eight-hour law in force
there. and no Cowboys Union to fine
its members for working overtime.
| Work usually begins about six O'Clock,
but on the annual drives or when there
are cattle 10 be shipped. the lunas have
their men out at one or two o'clock
in the morning. The day ends when
the work is done, and not before. This
is the work which the next friend"
complains is regarded as sport on the
Ranch.
In finishing his direct examination
the witness gave his method of tam
ing cattle which he claimed was SUI
perior to that of Carriers. Magoon
drove the cattle across the stream
again, but as many drank as when the
witness first testified. Magoon press
ed the witness as to instances where
Fred Carter had used bad Judgment in
selecting cattle for market, but the
only instance forthcoming was the Sc
lection of a COW to be killed for the
use of the boys.
Garter maintained that the COW was
poor" said the witness, whereas it
was SO fat that when it was killed
one of his own boys became sick from
eating it,
Kinney began the cross-examinat ton
by inquiring into the incident Of catch
ing cattle enough for two shipments,
and letting half of them go. Ikua had
had been present when the word was
passed around that the second steamer
was not to come, but the witness did
not know from whom the order came.
In regard to the charge that Fred Car
ter was seldom with the boys on a
drive, the witness testified that the
lunas were competent and familiar
with the country, and that a manager
not raised on Hawaii would be foul
to take the driving of cattle out of
their hands. The witness readily adj
mitted that he had been recently dis
looking on the square-face when it was
white.
With regard to injured wild cattle,
Kinney asked if there were not old
and weak cattle in every band, but
the witness thought not.
''Why?" asked the surprised attor-
ney. Don't wild cattle ever grow
old?"
1.-THE body may grow DID, replied
the witness, but the soul is still
young"
if Ikua had not roped it and broken
it's neck, but the witness had neither
sat on the coroner's jury nor been an
eyewitness.
With regard to the presence of bulls
in the fattening paddocks, one instance
proved to be the dairy bulls let in to
water, while the others were cases of
new paddocks where the fence had been
built around the cattle. The case of
overcrowding in a paddock was the re-
suit of a drive of wild cattle in one
of Carriers new trap pens. Kinney en-
deavored to show that the number of
cattle caught in this drive was sur
prise to all concerned, but the witness
had seen the snow on Mauna Kea and
it was no surprise to him.
Spencer testified that as a whole the
cattle had improved In Carriers time.
He had seen hundreds of white-faced
cattle on the range, but could not tell
whether or not they were from the
imported Herefords
