CLUB NOTES,

Afton.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La

feeling so we'll the greater part of the
summer, but there has been one thing
annoying me and | don't know the
cause of it. | noticed about a month

that my hands were numb. | thought
and never missed a single morning. In
a few minutes the hands would seem
to be all right, but would have two or
three spells while dressing. After a
short time they were all right again
and did not bother any more until the
next morning. The last two weeks
there has been a half numb or tingling
sensation in the fingers of right hand
all the time. but worse in the morn
ing. The left hand is the same, but
right hand is worse. Can you tell me
what the cause is and what to do for
it? l would also like to ask you about
my aunt. About four weeks ago she
was out driving and the horse suddenly

been around her index finger. At least
the finger was jerked and sprained, as
we suppose. She has used different
remedies, but the finger is still swollen
and stiff. except at the knuckle. 1t is
not painful unless she strikes it against
something, but it just sticks out
straight and therefore is knocked a
great deal. What shall we do for it?
Thanking you in advance for these ia
vors. I remain, sincerely A. F.
The symptoms which you have de-
scribed would indicate that there is
more or less danger of a paralytic on

you procure the services of a skillful
~osteopath and take a thorough course
Of treatment.
In regard to your aunt, your descrip-
ton of her finger would indicate that
it might be dislocated Or fractured. or
possibly the periosteum is injured; and
| think it would be wise for her to go
to a reliable surgeon and have him
make a careful examination. If there
is an X-ray machine in the town, it
would be of value to determine wheth-
err or not it was a dislocation. and is
the place to go. 1t may be that she
has merely injured the ligaments. and
that it may be all right in the course
Of time. If I were to suggest a remedy

ART WORKS IN

NEW YORK, December ia spe-
ciaI to the sun from Rome says: An
interesting discovery has been made in
the Sanctum Sanctorum or chapel at the
head of the holy stairs at the church of
st. John Lateran, which, II was sup
posed, contained no secrets. The holy
stairs lead to a tiny chapel, which was
formerly for the private use of Popes-
Here magnificent Golfers have been dis
covered, which. on examination, proves
to be most precious, antique and uni
que works of art, which have caused a
stir in art circles. There are many ar
ticles of various sizes; all are made Of
solid silver and are deeply chiseled in
the best manner, and date from the
second to third century. One which for
merly held a piece of the true cross
is in the shape of a cross. and it's value

A well-born woman, who, as a child,
was once held in the arms of one of
Hawaii's kings, was arrested in San
Francisco on December 16 for shoplift-
ing. She was the daughter of one of
Emperor N-aximilian s most famous
generals, educated in the best conser-
vatories of Europe, at one time fav-
orite with royalty. She even sang with
Patti The San Francisco Bulletin tells
the woman's history as follows:
The first to fall in the meshes of the
law was Mrs Guadalupe Benanati, the
wife of prosperous Italian, living at
20lSB Powell street. She was arrested
ct the Emporium with a dressful of
small trinkets which she had succeeded
in collecting during the afternoon.
At her home a trunk full of stolen
property has been found by Detective
Sergeants Charles l.. Taylor and Harry
z. Braig. Just how much the stolen
articles are worth it will be impossible
to determine until someone familiar
with the prices has looked them over
The woman does not attempt to deny
her guilt, but admits it. Moreover, her
husband adds to her confession by ad-
mitting that the wife has been stealing
from shops about town for more than
two years. He has frequently warned
her to desist, but the temptation was
too much for her to withstand.
Something of the woman's antece-
dents are told in a newspaper clipping
found in her possession which she seems
to prize. 1t was written sometime be-
fore she married her present husband,

The plan of building a Pan-Amer-

Away down at the other end of the

there is a remarkable railway move

The New Steamer Line
From San
Pedro.
The Los Angeles Times says

The Los Angeles Times says:
| j. Flood, general manager of the new
steamship line which is to ply between
{ San Pedro and the Orient. with the
backing of the Salt Lake railroad, is
respected soon to return from New
York, coming to the Coast in ample
time to meet the first steamer over the
new route, which is scheduled to ar
rive from the Orient in February
Ihls steamer will carry about 5000
tons of freight, the greater part of
which already has been contracted to
be hauled over the Salt Lake, and to
be turned over to its connecting lines
for delivery throughout the East.
Ostensibly the China and Java Ex-
port Company, a corporation having
offices in San Francisco and London,
is back of the enterprise, but as told
by The Times recently, it has the back
ing of the Salt Lake railway, and be-
mind that the direct encouragement of
Senator Clark himself.
This company already is plying a
string of four or five steamers between
Calcutta and London and San Fran
cisco, and has welI-estabIished con-
nections in the Orient. 1t is proposed
to put on one of their steamers for the
San Pedro business exclusively, and to
build up the trade through this port
as rapidly as possible.
Much to the disappointment OF
Hawaii sugar planters who are more
than ordinarily interested in the de-
Velopment of the harbor and the busi-
ness of the port of San Pedro for their
own good, the proposed itinerary of
the steamer assigned to san Pedro
does not contemplate any stops at the
Islands. 1t is believed, how
offered the company by the merchants
and planters of Hawaii that they will
be tempted to change the routing of
their vessels and make regular stops
at Honolulu
The return of Mr.. Flood is awaited |
with a great deal of interest, as with |
him lies the arranging of the details |
surrounding the entry of the first reg !
ular trans-Pacific steamer service into |
the harbor of San Pedro.
1t is understood that arrangements |
already have been made for the un-
loading of shipments directly to bonded |
whence they will be re-
leased by the government customs au-

IF the new line, and although the first
cargoes will have to be lightered, it
s hoped to have the harbor in such
shape soon as to permit the big steam
ers to lie alongside the wharves.

sisters have not and they desire to see
the spot upon which their labors for
their charges will ere long begin.
AS long as the order has been fn Ha-
waii. this is the first time that they
have broken through their local rule
which requires that they remain within
the walls of the convent night and
day.
The Rapid Transit people are quite
pleased at the prospect of the sisters
building out Kalihi way, as it will add
a pretty penny to their Golfers every
day when the school is once started.
The sisters are delighted with the pros
pect of having a suburban location and
with the bishop are working hard to
plan we'll for the future of their be-
loved church and its ever increasing
family of children.

She's not" said Mrs. White. 81 don't
see where she can be. Maybe she's hiding
upstairs just for fun. Let's ali go up and

stairs, making as much noise as they
could, and looked in every closet and under
every bed, and opened some OF the bureau
drawers. But all to no purpose. Dorothy
had disappeared as completely as though
the earth had swallowed her. They hunted
the house from attic to cellar. Mrs. White

A Pottery Story.

A squaw left her two boys to care for her
papoose while she worked inside the tent
She did not notice what the boys were
doing with the papoose until 1t began to
cry. The squaw was unable to find the
miscreants, until their distant voices told
her they were down by the river Not COM
ing when she called them, the squaw found
that they were 5unwillingly disobedient
Their feet were stuck fast in the wet clay
of the river bank With great difficulty she
got them back to the tent Then they all
laughed at their footprints in the clay for
deep holes remained wherever they had
stepped.
The band of Indians left camp before gun
rise the next morning. The squaw with her
boys and papooSe were soon far away.
During the hot summer that soon followed
the same band returned to the river they had
left. The two little. boys ran down to the
river bank. No rain had fallen since their
last visit and they easily found their foot
prints in the clay: These had dried until
they were as hard as stone. They called
their mother to look at the holes. She took
some clay In her hands, wet 1t in the river,
then shaped 1t like the hollow stone she
used for cooking. She dried 1t in the sun.
and when 1t was hard proudly showed her
dish to the old chief. He then ordered
all the squaws to go and do likewise but
they all soon realized that their dishes
would not hold water, and broke easily.
One day a squaw wanted to save some
fire. which was very hard to get. Not hav-
Ing anything to keep 1t in, she seized one
of the clay dishes which had been abandon
ed as useless. The hot Goals baked the
dish, and she later discovered that it would
not break.
Wonder Of wonders 1t also held water!
Calling the chief and the other squaws
around her, the Indians realized that they
had learned how to make clay dishes in
the right way.

time to go upstairs and see what was the

around.
