Why One MoIokan Took
a Dislike to
Kauai.

The great first cause of the late dis
| Kauai is said to have been a cent?
| rede-a centipede that sought and
found altogether too intimate ac-
| quaintance with the person of one of
the secretaries, a bothersomely socia-
bic cenripede. 1t was this way:
| The Molokans, of course, had never
worked in the cane fields in the trop-
les. And, when they went to work in
the cane fields on the first day, one of
| the men failed to take the precaution
| to tie a string tightly about the bot
toms of the legs of his trousers, as is
the habit of cane field laborers.
The centipede was just waiting for
him, and was hungrier for Molokan
than any plantation agent on these
islands. Now, what a Molokan may
be coated with under the garments
of him, this deponent sayeth not, but
that one did not feel the centipede I'M
til the hot-footed insect had advanced
d IOii3 iCil Tie ItoCNN
took hold, and the Molokan went up
IN the air with a series of wild yells
that would have done credit to negro
camp meeting in the dog days. Natur-
ally, his fellows gathered about him,
and for little time they thought, as
he did, that hot devil had hold of
him. One did, too-with a coal of fire
on every one of its hundred clinging
hands. Presently. seeing that the suf-
ferer could get no relief, for the cent?
pede was biting deeper and the laborer
threatened with commissions, the others
caught hold of him, cut his clothes
off and found the seat of the trouble
The ceptipede was removed with some
show OF force, and labor for the day
ended.
The Molokans are working all right +,
now, however, and are tying up the
legs of their trousers as a preliminary.
Also. they propose to keep on work.
ing. and Mr.. J. B. Castle said yester-
day that q lot more of them, friends
and relatives of those now on Kauai.
would be sent for to Russia and
brought directly to the islands by way /
of Siberia. That will be better than |
them through the United |
States, because they will not be SO apt |
to go astray as they would on the |
big mainland, particularly in the cities.
IT fo,
lies in the new lot, it is said.

The Most Patient Honolulu Citizen
| Must Show Annoyance at Times.
| Nothing spoils a good disposition.
| Nothing taxes a mans patience,
| Like any itchiness of the skin.
| Itching Piles almost drive you crazy
All day it makes you miserable,
All night it keeps you awake
Itch! Itch! Itch! with no relief.
just the same with Eczema.
Can hardly keep from scratching it.
You would do SO but you know it
! makes it worse.
Such miseries are daily decreasing.
People are learning they can be cured.
Learning the merit of Doan's Oint-
ment.
Plenty of proof that Doan's Oint-
ment will cure Piles, Eczema or any
Itchiness of the skin.
Frank Leibly of 326 S. Main ST.,
wilkesbarre. Pa, U. s.. says: 1T is
with much pleasure that 1 testify to
the merits of Doan's Ointment in cases
of itching piles. I suffered from that
tormenting affliction for the past year.
L tried nearly everything that was rec
commended to me and what I saw ad-
VertlSed, out could get no relle1. FL
nalIy L procured Doan's Ointment. After
a few applications was much relieved.
and, continuing the treatment, 1 was
soon completely cured. I have felt
no signs of that intolerable itching
since, and it is four months ago since
1 used Doan's Ointment To say that
1 was delighted is only half expressing
my enthusiasm. I recommend this
whenever the opportunity is
presented. You may publish my state
ment at any time and 1 can always be
found at S26 S. Main street, ana will
vouch for the same"

Mr. Snodgrass, has also had his chick
ems stolen. The Snodgrass fowls went
