Kuhia Hui has brought a damage
suit against Oahu Railway & Land Co.
for ejectment from one of defendant IS
cars while plaintiff was in possession
of a ticket good for the trip he was
making.
Damages of $4,000 are asked for this
alleged injustice. E. A. Douthitt and
W. C. Achi are attorneys for plaintiff.
1t is alleged that on May 4 at Waia-
nae plaintiff bought from an agent of
the railway company a round trip
ticket, second class, for Honolulu, pay
ing therefor the regular price of $1.60
Fl2iEtig, the declaration goes on to
say, travelled to Honolulu the same
day in the train that left Waianae at
7:10 a. m. At 3:15 p. m. the same day
he left Honolulu in the train for Wal
amaze. When the train reached Moana
lua its conductor, whom he believes is
named c. III. Tracy, demanded of plain
tiff his ticket While he was trying
to find the ticket, it having been tenn
porarily misplaced in one of his
pockets, the conductor, without giving
plaintiff any time or opportunity to
find and produce his ticket, ''violent-
ly, foreibly, negligently and carelessly
and against his will and consent, and
in the presence of many people in said
car and train, elected plaintiff herein
from said train at said Moanalua,' al
though he had such ticket then and
there and notified the conductor then
and there that he would pay to him
the amount of fare charged by defen-
dant in case he did not then and there
have his ticket.
After being elected he found the
ticket in one of his pockets and, while
the train was yet at a standstill at
Moanalua, he showed the ticket to the
conductor and demanded of him the
privilege of riding upon the train. But
said conductor then and there refused
to allow plaintiff the privilege of go
ing back on said train or riding there
ON to Waianae as aforesaid.
In consequence of such treatment
Hui says he was subjected to gre at
degradation and disgra ,e,
and compelled to walk from Moanaiua
to Honolulu, a distance of about three
miles.

None TO Take His Place.

A traveller was once passing on horse
back through a backwoods region
where the inhabitants were VIGOROUSLY
shiftless. Arriving at dilapidated
shanty at the noon hour, he inquired
what were the prospects for getting
dinner.
The head of the family, who had been
absorbed In resting" on a log in front
of his dwelling, replied that he guess
ed mad hev suthin on to the table putty
soon"
Thus encouraged the traveller dis
mounted. But to his chagrin he found
the food to be such that he could not
force himself to partake of it. Making
such excuses as he could for lack Of
appetite, he happily bethought himself
of kind of nourishment that he might
venture to take there and one sure to
be found on a farm. He asked for some
milk.
I'VE don't hev milk any more, =
drawled the head of the house. The
dogs dead died week afore last"
ssThe dog!m cried the traveller. But
what has that got to do with itf''

lively, "the critters don't seem ter

Needed the Money.

When a famous specialist began the
practice of medicine as young man
he numbered among his first patients
a certain Mr.. Darlie of Woonsocket,
r. l. For time the young physician
treated his patient successfully for a
very painful tumor on the neck.
One day the doctor called to inquire
after his patients progress. Although
assured that the latter was enjoying
health he had never known before, he
at once assumed an air of the greatest
concern and advised speedy opera
ton.
But" said the astonished GONZALES
cent in broadest Scotch, "dinna We tell
me yourself an operation was ma neces-

The physician hesitated moment,
then resumed embarrassedly, sWell,

WHALES USE BOATS
BIS BACKSCRATCHRS

When a naval architect plans an i'm
provement in marine construction he
generally has little thought for its
effect on the denizens of the sea. The
man who has invented bilge keels,
however, says writer Oh South
America, provided the whales of the
Brazilian coast with just the sort Of
back scratcher they needed.
Insect pests annoy the whale and
barnacles find q home on large part
OF his body. Sometimes the monsters
can be seen rolling on shallow sandy
bottom to displace these pests or rub
bling themselves on the rocks of reefs.
On one occasion the mail steamer
Orissa was STOPPED during dense fog
few miles off Santa Maria Island
in the Pacific. The coast being dan
gerous an anchor was let down sixty
fathoms or so and the ship allowed to

was varied with bumps. Soon a huge
whale arose slowly out of the water
and fioated along side, like bark

and the secret was out. The whale

Kept tn Bath for Nine Days

London, March 8.-There is a lad
in the Seamen's hospital at Greenwich,
who has been lying constantly for
nlle days in warm bath. the water
being carefully watched ard kept at
the same temperature. This is being
done in an endeavor to cure blood
poisoning and other diseases from
which he is suffering. His head is
supported on water pillows and be is
watcued day and night lest in his de-
lirium he should slip beneath the sur-
face and drown. He is fed n l sleeps
in the water. There is now hope Of
saving his life.
The water. which is constantly
changed is kept at a temperature of
1O4 degrees. and a weak solution of
antiseptic is added to 1t. When the
treatment was determined upon he was
almost at the point of death, but an
imp ovement is now reported. The
water absorbs all impurities discharg
ed by the skin and supports the rat
tents weight, two advantages which
make all the difference between life
and death.
The bath treatment was first re.
commended by an Australian doctor
about Is years ago. In some cases,
such as typhoid fever, it has been
found successful in reducing the tenn
perature when cold packs of ice or 9th
er resources had failed. 1t should be
carried out only expert advice.

Seeing that the ARRAY was turning
in our favor, 1 sprang to the SIDE and,
opening small doorway in the south
erly drum tower, rushed up the stairs.
1t was fortunate that / had made so
complete q study of the castle. D found
the crank l wanted and turned the
wheel, putting forward all the strength
I had in my muscles. Slowly the
mighty portcullis descended, shrieking
as it fell, but this, as had hoped, fol-
lowing upon the report of my revolver,
and accompanied as it was with Mont
gomerys continuous and powerful
blows, proved the turning point for our
enemies. AS the grooming gate de-
scended there were cries uttered in a
the gateway. Leaving the machine to
revolve by its own impetus. l flew
down into the archway Sercombe
stood in the light expostulating. Mont
gomery's weapon stretched some one
fiat upon the stones as [ entered, and the
man crawled off. l fired another cham
Der of the revolver aimlessly, and the
flash lit up the passage while the
sound reverberated duly from the
groined vault. The portcullis fell low
er and Sercombe was driven across the
drawbridge by his retreating allies.
Dead or living, they shall have him."
said some one in my ear, and I beheld
dragging a body in his arms. Togeth-
er we thrust it FORTH and it lay half
way across the threshold. The port
cullis dropped inexorably and was now
within foot of the ground. The man
lay under the range Of its iron spikes.
The wheels creaked above, and the
distance shortened. Montgomery ran
forward and showed the body outward.
But it still hung halfway. And then
Sercombe came rapidly back and,
STOPPING, by swift movement drew
the inanimate form from beneath the
iron spikes Of the drawbridge. He
said no word. but merely glanced at
us as we stood behind the grille
AS Sercombe's figure faded blackly
into the night 1 turned and peered
into the gloom Of the archway where
my companion stood.
Sheppard struck a match, and the
tiny fame cast precarious light upon
the three of us. Two, streaks of blood
crossed Sheppard's forehead.
First blood and first honors," he
said.
Montgomery breathed like a black
smith.
1T was mean trick" he observed.
An acute pain struck suddenly
through my shoulder. THE foreigners
use their knives aptly," | remarked.
