ers and busters and at the request OF

repeat his stunts in the Big Island
capital This Will be in about month.
Rough Rider Winters. who had pack
ed his shaggy chaps away, will get
them out again for the Hilo perform
ance and Angus McPhee, now acclima-
tized, will show the Hawaiian public
that he is not the lemon that his show
ing in Honolulu would lead one to be-
Heve. He is practising up for the COM
ing event and will have a horse better
acquainted with his style of working
when the first steer jumps out of the
Hilo corral before him. He expects
to demonstrate this time that his
championship title came to him be-

BASEBALLERS
SUPERSTITIOUS

Baseball players are the most super
stitious class of people in the world,
says an exchange, There are many
superstitions in general in which all
members of the profession have inn
plicft confidence, and nearly every
player has some pet belief that is all
his own. Where the many supersti-
tions originated no one seems to know,
but tradition has handed them down
from generation to generation. If any
thing. the ballplayer of the present age
believes more in things uncanny than
the veteran of the past.
If son of swat happens to see a
wagon passing by with empty barrels
as its cargo, he regards the game of
the afternoon as cipched. A load of
hay means two hits in the dictionary
of superstitions to the player spying it.
To make the charm more certain, he is
supposed to pluck a handful of hay
from the passing wagon. Players ap-
proach the plate differently. Nothing
could induce some of them to walk
between the umpire and the catcher
as they come to bat. Others invariably
draw a line alongside the plate before
assuming their place in the box. In
these and many other ways players be-
tray their belief in things superstitious.

run better and longer if its power is
not taxed to the utmost.
AN example of this was recently
shown when one of our older models
was brought TO the factory for over
hauling. Although the car had been
run many thousands of miles, the en-
tire mechanism was found to be in
perfect condition. When compliment
ed on his driving, the chauffeur said:
It's easy. 1 take the steep hills on
third speed
The Thomas Company early recoG-
nized the truth of this, and We're the
first in America to use four speeds
forward. 1t is not that the car can't
take the steep hills on direct drive,
but a driver will use the Thomas
third speed when he will not use the
intermediate of cars provided with a

Lona sieae. In CONGRESS.

Samuel j. Randall of Pennsylvania
was an avowed protectionlst Democrat
and man who, his colleagues had
learned, usually was able to get his
way. Randall had first entered con-
gress I'm 1862. He was n quiet, per-
sistent, Woodworking person who at
tracted little attention for several
years. Then the Republicans, sure OF
their majority and wishing to expedite
business, undertook to adopt rules
which would prevent obstruction. The
quiet Mr.. Randall set himself against
the attempt He led the small Demo-
cratic majority with skill so unusual
that more than once he blocked the
Republicans way until 1t was too late
to pass the measure. His endurance
seemed unlimited. From one session
lasting forty-slx hours and twenty five
minutes, where Randall had forced the
roll to be called seyenty-five times, he
came out rs fresh as he went In. At
another time in the fight over the
force bill he was on the floor for sew
enty-two consecutive hours. - Ida M.

Hopj indian Traditions.

The Hopi Indians of Arizona have no
written literature. but an almost
boundless store of oral traditions,
which are handed down unlmpaired to
each generation I'm turn and which
form the guiding principle of their re-
llglous belief and of their whole life,
says the Craftsman. Every clan, and
there are number of family clans
making up the various Hopi towns,
has its own kiva, or underground cere-
monial chamber, entered by ladder
through square opening In the roof,
which is but foot or two above the
general level of the ground. Here the
education of the boys is carried on, be-
ginning at the age of seven or eight
years. They are instructed day by
day t~Je literature, history and
myths oil the tribes, the priests being
the teachers. Without writing and
without books the Hopi have an ex-
tensive literature, and that the utmost
accuracy is observed In Its oral trans
mission from generation to generation
is revealed by certain comparisons
with the records made by the Spanish
explorers in the sixteenth century.

The Piutes have unique way of

Special School Tax Carried.

At the election of school district
80, held last Saturday there were
twenty-three votes cast, nineteen for
and four against the special tax
levy. J. H. Kerby and Tom Smith
were the candidates for the position
of special collector and the contest
resulted in a tie and unless they de-
eide between themselves another
vote will have to be taken to decide
who the collector shall be. Now
that the special tax levy for $4,000
additional has been passed the dis
trict is assured a magnificent school
building. The tie in the race for
collector was caused by by several of
the votes being inaccurate.
The plans furnished by Williams &
Watson have been accepted and put
into proper shape. They will at
once be forwarded to the board of
control for approval and it is to be
hoped that no delays will occur.
