the next man, and as neither his friends
nor the Governors had been looking
out for his interests, he got it in the
solar plexus and was the sole nominee
of the Governor who was not confirm
ed, barring, of course, the election ms
pectors, none of whom were confirmed
by agreement all around. There are
many who think that If the governor
had really cared to save Scudder from
the humiliation of not being confirmed,
he could easily have done it, as there
was plenty of time between the first
intimation of objection to a board on
which there was no Hawaiian, and final
action, and there was no opposition in
the senate to Scudder personally.

over impressed with the work the
Federal grand jury has lately been do
ing, buttonholed a citizen the other day
and asked him how long he had been
living with the woman with whom he
is living,
Five years." was the reply.
Isn't that rather a long time?" in
quired the butt-in.
ooh, l don't know" said the gentle
man, i've known men and women to
| live together over sixty years"
yes, know" persisted the grand in
quisitor, "but don't you think it is
about time you observed the law"
"What law" asked the other.
"The Edmunds Act" replied the
muck-raker
D you!" cried the patient worm,
turning at last I'VE are married."
There were signs of the grand juror
getting roughly handled there and then
but a prominent attorney happened
along and saved the situation. The
story is going the rounds and the
grand juror is lodging around corners
to escape the laugh.

had a dream the other night,
dreamed 1 journeyed far till saw the
CLEAN of heavens light, like the bright
Hawaiian Star.
If you wait while I put Pegasus in
the stall I'll tell you that dream in plain
prose- Well, 1 dreamed l went to the
gate of heaven and st. Peter and I
had some words about my eligibility to
enter, because of my newspaper asso-
Citations. While we were arguing the
point along came bunch of Honolulu
grand jurymen and applied for admis-

They tell me that a somewhat deaf
gentleman was summoned one after
noon to appear before the grand jury on
the following morning. "Ah ha," says
he, they're on to me, 1 guess" And
straightway he that very afternoon took
hack, called on a lady and together
they fastened to the church and were
wed. Promptly the next morning he
was answering the grand jury sum-
mons. He was put on the stand and
certain preliminary question were ask
ed. AS before stated, he is somewhat
deaf, ooh, it's all right" he cried,
beaming. and pulled marriage GER
tificate from his pocket, waving it at
the jurymen. There was a roar. The
gentleman had been summoned merely
as a witness in another case.
