SUPT. FILLER RESIGNS.

Superintendent r. w. Filler of
the Kahului Railroad Company
has rendered his resignation and
the same has been accepted to take
effect at later date.
Mr.. Filler has had charge of the
Kahului Railroad for eight years
and has increased the value of the
Company from sixty thousand dol
lars to half a million while the
amount of shipping on the road
has increased at even a more rapid
rate. The success of the Company
is very largely due to his intimate
knowleds se of every branch of the
company and his untiring energy
and foresight.
Mr.. Filler has been in the rail-
roading business for many years
and has worked his way up the
ladder. He has many advantages
over many men who hold similar
positions. He is an expert book
keeper, locomotive engineer, and
holds pilots license, which stood
the company in hand whenever the
master of the tug or the pilot were
away or unable to go on duty.
Few men possess the energy and
close application that Mr.. Filler
has shown during all the years he
has been in Kahului and no man
could be missed as much as he
where he has become SO thoroughly
a part OF the place.

a glibness OF tongue that is seldom

gave damaging testimony against

to the court that he had come home
from work and found no food but
he did find his wife enjoying the
Chinese New Year to which he
objected, and in his efforts to i'm.
press his wife with his ideas used
force that was frowned upon by the
laws of the land. The Judge asked
Alex. if his wife ever scolded him

explained that that was what all
women did to their husbands. Sen.

pie allowed to depart after, being

and her mother and Jennie frequently
was asked to the Lauderback home for
Sunday night tea. Again people re-
hearsed the contents of the chest and
the dry goods box and decided on what
extra things Jennie could buy with the
money which otherwise she would have
had to spend for brides usual linen
and household outfit.
Nobody ever quite knew what caus-
ed the trouble between, Jennie and
young Lauderback. She carried her
head high for a time, while he looked
depressed and blue. Before he recov-
cred she was enjoying immensely the
visit of a young doctor who had grad
uated in the same medical class with
her brother. He was good-looking-an
so was she. He bad not been at the
Markham home for a week before ev-
cry one was talking about how desper-
ately in love with each other they were.
ut was at first sight" said Mrs.
Markham to her best friends. "Of
course Jennie has had fancieS like all
girls, but this is genuine. His father
is rich. Not that that has anything to
do with It, but he won't have to strug-
gle. And think that Jennie's outfit
is good enough for any home that even
he can give her"
Jennie was invited to visit the young
doctors family later and she went.
She had a glorious time and came home
to find her mother feverishly hemming
a large tablecloth. 81 thought you
needed another three-yard one," she ex-
planned.
After Jennie had broken her engage
ment to the young doctor because she
was tired of writing letters to him she
went in for social-settlement work for
a year or so. She came near marry
ing a professor of something or other

who had classes down there, but she
changed her mind.
When Henry Smith, Confirmed
bachelor, took to calling on Jennie Mrs
Markham cheered up again and hem
med dozen more tea towels. But he
drifted away without having commit
ted himself.
Anyhow" said Mrs. Markham talk
ing new comfort in the thought s'tbere
isn't another girl who has the onfit
you have"
The years sped on. Admirers were
not so plentiful, but Mrs. Markham
occasionally added dolly to the store
The boxes were so full that there was
no room for more linen. The friends
OF the family began to smile pityinplv
about Jennie's immense stock of bomse-
hoid goods Jennie was nearing 3O
