The Noble Knight.

A noble night of the sixteenth
century arose from the tombs of
his ancestors and escaped from
the happy hunting ground to pay
a visit to Chicago. He arose on
very warm and sultry evening
and at once betook himself to the
boulevard to allow soft breezes
from the lake to fan his dusty
face. The ancient knight stopped
on a very prominent corner and
remained there in long, silent
meditation. First he gazed to the
north and, turning about, took a
view of the southern part of the
street. Passing pedestrians be-
held him in surprise and thinking
the man was evidently looking for
a lost opportunity or a popcorn
vendor, paid no further attention
to the odd looking individual.
With great curiosity he stared
at horseless carriages and sky
scrapers. He became greatly ex-
cited by the busy whirl around
him. Sweatdrops gathered on
his forehead-out of his lace
trimmed coat he drew dainty
handkerchief and quickly stepping
into the middle of the street, he
cried as loud as he could: "a
horse-a horse! A kingdom for a
horse!' Just then an automobile
swiftly turned the corner and hit
the noble knight square in the
back. Flying through the air at
a lively clip, he landed at last at
the front door of a livery stable,
where horse was furnished him
for dollar an hour.
Now, the first experience of the
noble knight in Chicago is re-
corded. We leave him as he
mounted his horse and rides to
Lincoln Park. 1868.

THE TRUE CONQUEROR.

THE TRUE CONQUEROR.
Who quells nations wayward will
May lord 1t on throne;
But he's mightier monarch still
Who vanquishes his own.
No power of fortune lays him low;
No treacherous smile allures;
King of himself, through veal or woe
He conquers who endures.
The foregoing gem of poetical
composition was sent in by S. M.
Philips, cell 282, as original mat
ter. After careful research, in
which we employed the assistance
Of several omnivorous readers, we
discovered that Mr.. Philips, alias
Seaford, is plagiarist. This sly
chap positively assured us that he
had written this poem, and ad-
mitted that he could "turn'' them
out every now and then without
effort. We do not doubt his abil-
ity to turn them out, like the
foregoing one, for instance.
Thepoem, "The True Conqueror,"
appears in the August number of
the Argosy, not as original matter,
but as reprint article. The early
Temperatures of said article will
surprise the man in 282. No
doubt hes had thought that it had
already gone "the rounds" and
hence excellent material on which
to build brilliant reputation.
Only few weeks ago this plagia-
rist informed us that so and SO was
cribbing articles. In the light
of subsequent events it surely ap-
pears that it was red-handed
rascal who shouted stop thief.
We have not the least hesitancy
in saying that the gentleman in
202 has been under observation
for some time. This is the first
time in which he has been caught
with the goods upon him. Hence
we brand him plagiarist of the
simon pure article and shall not
accept anything from him for
publication in The MIRROR.

BOYD CONVICTED BY
SAYS RAWliNS
MAuNG'S TESTIMONY

Joseph Boyd, the second mate Of the
Manga Reva, who was found guilty Of
assault and battery on a wooden.legget
fore Judge Dole this morning to re
| Ceiye his sentence.
w. 7. Rawlins, Boyd's attorney
made q plea for mercy for his client
laying especial stress on the fact that
Boyd had certainly been up against II
since the prosecution had been able t.
secure United States Commissioner
Mailing as witness. The jury had Ger
tainly been largely Influenced by tn,
testimony of Mailing, he said. Will,
Mailing had said that Boyd made tn,
wooden.legged man dance, he had not
corroborated the story that Boyd had
jumped on Johnson's stomach. Mailing
was a gentleman, admitted Rawlins
He did not think that Mailing had any
idea of prejudicing the jury. Malings
word was as good as his bond, and
he had not corroborated the stomach
jumping charges.
Judge Dole said that Mailing had said
that Jones had admitted the truth OF
the testimony regarding the assault
with the saving clause that II was en-
aggerated. Some officers OF vessels
made II practice to bully their crews
at the beginning of voyage, evidently
TO break their spirit of independence
and Undue them with an idea of the
power of their officers. The court gave
Boyd lengthy lecture on the iniquity
Of playing the buckle mate, and sen
fenced him to two months imprison
ment with costs.
District Attorney Breckons entered
a nolle prosequi in the case of Herbert
Jones, the first officer of the Manga
Reva. Jones was charged with a SINH
lar charge as that against Boyd, bu,
his offense does not seem to have been
SO aggravated.

HELPING THE TOWN

Hawaii has been known to think up
a good thing, carry it to certain
point and then expect It to 20 ON with.
out further assistance to complete
success. 1t is to be hoped that the
plans Tor an ocean yacht race, so well
started, VIII not land in this class.
This proposed yacht race is an ex.
cellent idea ably handled by the Pro
motion Committee and its volunteer
assistants. There seems no possibility
.of there being any other accompani'
ment than success from start to en-
ish.
The Bulletin would suggest, howev
err, that the project needs cooperation
from every citizen to make it a com
plete success. In other words, every
man in Honolulu should take per
sonal interest in the work that Is go
ling on, so that il may be said in truth
that the community is behind the de
termination to ser high mark for tn,
first race and thus assure repetition IL
years to come.
The town has enough Knockers
without asking for them. Let eacl
man sec what he can do at boosting
and rally around promotion work ant
the yacht race as a beginning.
