The Woes of a Party Line.

The following is one of the best poems
of its kind ever published. If there
were more party lines on the prairie the
poem would perhaps be better appreci-
ated. However it is too good to pass up
and those who have had experience with
party telephone lines will find many
pleasant memories in its lines, says the
Grangeville Free Press.
Neighborhood not far from here
Put in a telephone last year;
Farmers built rural line
instruments all talked up fine.
All you had to do was ring,
Every bell went ting-a-ling.
One for Swansons, two for Boggs,
Long and short for Old Man Scroggs.
Every neighbor had his call,
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when work was thru
To gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors, one by one,
Mighty nice, but lots more fun
To overhear some other two,
Telling what was not for you.
Every time the signal rang
To the phone each farmer sprang
Shyly grinned and softly took
The receiver from the hook.
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
Slapped his leg and said II swan"
Telephones is lots OF fun"
Some how in a week or two
Troubles dark began to brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot,
Heard Scroggs calling him sot.
Farmer Brown seemed angry too,
Heard Smith telling what he knew.
Smith heard Johnson telling lies,
Paid him off with two black eyes.
johnson heard young Ezra Boggs
Underbid him on some hogs.
Ezra overheard a sneakingN churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women, too, were in a muss,
Raised a most outrageous fuss.
Every one from Scroggs to Jones
In glass houses throwing stones.
Now the line has silent grown
Wires rusted poles o'erthrown.
Twenty friends are deadly foes,
Each one full of grief and woes.
Each too mad tospeak a word,
Cause of things they've overheard.

How Newspapers Suffer.

An exchange truthfully says:
During the last five years the
price of everything that has to
do with the making of a news
paper has advanced. Type, ink,
paper, labor, machinery, all
have gone upward in price, and
indications are that the price of
white paper will further advance,
owing to the scarcity of raw ma
terial. During all this advance
in price for their products their
price of subscription has remain
ed the same, advertising rates
have not been advanced, and
many of the standard forms of
commercial job printing are still
done at the same old prices. It
is the only trade on record that
has not benefited by the advance
in prices.

bags of charcoal (there is where the

Kauai is today. It could then be divid-

to sustain a large population. With
the growth of trees, under care o. the

Campbell, according to McStocker,
met woman in Kaneohe on Tuesday,
who was looking for work and who
ing Mrs. Goodwin as published in yes
terday's Advertiser.
This information came to hand too
late yesterday to allow of Mr.. Camp
bell being interviewed.
During the day another gentleman,
who does not care to have his name
flee and stated that on Tuesday after
noon woman looking like and dressed
like Mrs. Goodwin and wearing a broad
gold wedding ring, called at the house
of friend of his, who also prefers
his identity to remain unknown, unless
absolutely necessary, on the side of the
Pail, and asked for work of any de-
scription as long as it was honorable.
She wore gray Eton jacket and car
ried a parcel which looked like loaf
of bread but which might we'll have
There was no work to offer but the
woman stayed with the family over
night and the next morning the man
of the house drove her to town.
He let her off the rig on Nuuanu
avenue where the carline terminates
and on looking back the last he saw OF
her was as she was walking toward
the stream.
Unless she found shelter somewhere,
the unfortunate woman must have been
exposed to the unusually heavy rains
which fell on Wednesday,
According to the Kaneohe man, the
woman was acting nationally but SEEM
ed to have set her mind on obtaining
something to do.
If Mrs. Goodwin has not &C nmitted
suicide it is probable that she is being
detained at some place in town.
The police have not even a clue.

BROWN ADDS
TO HIS LEAD
Seven Ahead NoW--ihe
Investigation Still
Preliminary.

Three more precincts had their votes
for County Sheriff counted by the Su-
preme Court yesterday. The net re,
suit was gain of five votes for
Arthur NJ. Brown, which, added to his
lead of two votes already held, puts
him seven ahead of Curtis P. 1aukea.
Chief Justice Frear made the an
nouncement at the opening of court
that the count was still. of the nature
of an investigation and not an official
recount. He gave Brown as contestant
the option of resting his case where IL
stood, but the offer was not accepted
and so the counting proceeded
Another question left in the judicial
balance was that of the legality OF
regular votes for Sheriff on ballots ir-
regularly marked for other offices, in
the way of voting for more candidates
therefor than were to be elected. Up
till now, for example, ballots having
votes for four Supervisors for Homo
lulu where but three could be elected
had been put in the bad list.
Mr.. Edings objected in open court
to the rejection of such ballots, when
he had told Mr.. Kinney, in a conver-
sation before opening court, to keep
count of such ballots in all of the
precincts and the question would be de-
cided after the count.
Mr.. Browns counsel, it may be said.

is clear that such ballots must be re-
