Hard Water.

A farm woman in Pennsylvania once said: "I never hear anyone sing The Old Oaken Bucket without . shud- der" For 15 years she had done the cooking and washing for a family of six with no other water supply than what she had hauled out of . we'll nearly 30 feet deep by means of . bucket Baths in winter were almost out of the question, and even in the summer they were regarded as an oc- casion of more than ordinary impor- tance. for which preparations had to be made hours ahead of the great event. A cubic foot of water weighs 62h pounds, and in all these years the number of tons this woman had lifted had made poetic allusions to ''ironbound" and "moss-covered" buck cts a good deal like saying rope" to a man about to be hanged.-Farm. ing

FACTS ABOUT BOOK OF JOS.
Great Epic Probably Not the Work of
 One Man.

The creation of the tribal epic was to some extent regarded as . tribal work. hke the building of the tribal temple. Believe, then, if you will. that the prologue of Job and the ep- flogue and the speech of Elihu are things inserted after the original work was composed. But do not SUD- pose that such insertions have that obvious and spurious character which would belong to any insertions in . modern individuaistie book. Do not regard the insertions e you would rs- gard . chapter in George Meredith which you afterwards found had not been written by George Meredith. or half . scene in Ibsen which you found had besn cunningly sneaked in by Mr. William Archer. Remember that this old world, which made these old poems Nike the Iliad and Job, always Kept the tradition of what 1t was making. A man could almost leave poem to his son to be finished as he would have finished 1t, just as a man could leave Held ., his son to be reaped as he would have reaped it. What is called Homsric unity may be . fact or not. The Iliad may have been written by one man. It may have been written by . hundred men. But let us remember that there was more unity in those times in a hun dred men than there is unity now in III

SUPREME COURT
RENDERS OPINION

The Supreme Court this morning
rendered an opinion in the case of the
Dowsett Company, Ltd, versus R. L.
Gilliland, which came before it on ex-
ceptions from the Circuit Judge. The
decree of the lower court is sustained.
The matter was an assumpsit to re-
cover from the defendant the sum of
s140, being, in addition to $3.50 taxes,
rents payable on 7-year lease of
GA acres of land.
The defense was that l.. l.. McCand-
less, claiming one-fourth of the leased
land, constructed a reservoir about
eight feet square upon corner of the
land for his own TIC. siat the plaintiff
admitted this title of McCandless and
that in consequence of the defendant S
eviction or disturbance of possession
resulting from the construction of the
reservoir the defendant had surrend-
cred the lease.
The judge. jury being waived, found
for the plaintiff the sum claimed and
entered Judgment accordingly. The
defendant moved for new trial on
the ground that the Judgment war
contrary to the law and the evidence
and excepted to the denial of his mo-
tion.

SCRAMBLE AFTER
DOYLE'S Old JOB

Inere is nothing DONG yet In the
way of appointments to fill the vacan-
cies in the positions Of Deputy, Attor-
ney General, and so far none of the
local attorneys will admit that they
are after either deputyship. 1t Is rea-
sonably certain, however, that there
are several who have UP lightning
rods and are praying for an electric
storm,
The hole left by the resignation OF
Chester Doyle, the criminologist OF the
department, is one that several enter
Hrlsing thief-catchers of Honolulu
think would just about fit their shapes
and they are following the Attorney
General like foxhound an anise seed
bag. Some Of them are not backward
about saying that they think they
have the very requirements and abili-
ties to shine as criminologists, and
the salary Of $3.50 per looks pretty
good to them. AS the Bull letin
has previously stated, Willie Ellis Is
after the job with strong hopes of
landing it. And there are others
Jimmie Boyd has been recent and
frequent visitor at the offices of the
and it is supposed that he
is hoping to be called.
Henry Vida, assistant sheriff under
4. M. Brown, is also said to be can
didate. Another man who is thought
to have very good chance is Joe
Leal assistant chief of detectives un-
der Chief Taylor
But Attorney General Hemenway Is
saying nothing beyond the statement
tnat he has not yet made up his mind
as to whom he will appoint.
