ENGINEER BOYD :
IN FINANCIAL FIX

w. w. Boyd, engineer In the Fire
Department, is in financial straits
through his dealings with usurer.
When laid aside by Illness he borrow
ed money at 10 per cent a month, and
when he recovered signed a note for
$500 to the money lender to ward off
garnishments of his salary by his
creditors. A judgment was recovered
on the note in the Honolulu District
Court, yet Boyd seems to have regard
ed the transaction as a matter of form
and of the usurer's friendship.
That Boyd meant no fraud on his
creditors is shown by the fact that he
set about paying them. and to this
end made an arrangement with Coun-
ty Treasurer Trent to have one-fourth
OF his salary retained for the purpose.
John A. McCandless raised $3.50 among
Boyd's friends and gave 1t to Trent,
who paid his bills at voluntary dis
counts with the money. Among others
Ferreira, the money lender, gave Trent
a receipt for SAB in full of amount owing
20 him by Boyd to date, September %.
Now Ferreira has filed punishment
OF Boyd's salary for the $500 note judg-
1nent. Messrs. McCandless and Trent
are reported to have advised Boyd to

Shaughnessey commended the officers

HAVING FUN ON THE RAIL.
Trick Played on a Genial Porter by
a Sportively-Inclined
Ranchman.

Coming up from Kansas CITY," said
Charles S. Young, of the Milwaukee
road, relates the st. Paul Globe, II
saw the NEST downcast porter it has
been my fortune to run against.
Talk about the fellow who bet on
Parker, why, he was not in the same
class with this coon. After the occur
n of which l am going to tell
came off, he was like a balloon hit
with a load of buckshot.
ut was on the Southwest Limited,
and the coon had been making him
self useful to a big Texas rancher with
good financial results to himself. 1t
seems that the cattleman had been in
the habit of taking this train about
once in two weeks and had proved to
be ready money for the porter on each
trip.
"The ranchman was sitting in the
observation car and the porter stood
near by taking in the situation out OF
the tail of his eye. The ranchman os-
tentatiously reached for a match that
stood in the stand on one of the ia
bles and deliberately started to scratch
it on his boot.
"You all KANT lite dat a-match sep
tin ON de box, Marse Bob,' put in the
porter, Fastening up to the cattleman
ready to earn his good will, or any
thing else handy.
"The cattleman hesitated and start
ed for his boot again, when the porter
broke in:
NOW, Marse Bob, faint nah place
to arg'fy wild de passengahs, but data
match was made fob dis heah train,
an it all won't scratch 'septin' on de
box
1.-The ranchman locked bored, but
eventually reached into his pocket and
said:
NOW, look a'1hyuh, boy, I'll just
bet you all $40 to 81 that ! can light
the match on my boot
"The porter chuckled and replied:
"'Wa'al yu is de doctah. Liza Jane
she all need dat ten buck piece an AT
JUS take yu.'
'The money was put up and the
ranchman insisted that the porter hold
the stakes, so as to be sure that nc
fimtlam game vas worked.
when everything was ready the
cattleman deliberately took a match
from the box and lighted it on the sole
of his shoe, while the porter viewed
the proceeding with amazement ant
incredulity.
"As he passed over the S11 he re
marked:
"'Ef it's JUS de same to yu all AL
wants to look at dat shoe OBJ yourn.'
HE was accommodated and fount
a nice little piece of the side of n O.
the match boxes glued against the hee
of the rancher's boot.
"He was downcast for several hours
but chirked up some when the ranch
man left the car and handed him a til
of two dollars"
