DANCING EXHIBITION
PLAN NOW OPEN

Reserved seats are now selling rapid
ly at Wall, Nichols Co., for Mrs.
Gums matinee exhibition of chill
dren's fancy dancing which takes
place at the opera House next Satur-
day afternoon.
The attendance at this performance
promises to be equal to that of last
Thursdays event although there hes
not been so spirited a rush at first
owing to insufficient announcement
having been made of the opening of
the box office plan.
The matinee exhibition will prove
even better than that of Thursday
night as the children are more hem
selves in the daytime and less incli1 :
ed to be sleepy. Besides the expert
ence the little tots had in the fra
exhibition will tan them in gooo
stead. Numerous mothers are prepar-
ing to take their little ones Saturday
afternoon and it will be a veritable
show of children, both on and off the
stage. No one should miss such a
sight. The price of admission will be
Soc, 75c. and 81.

SAN FRANCISCO, April AR. All
man. second officer of the Pacific Mail
liner Korea, caught a fish that he
didn't angle for. 1t was a flying fish
and it came whizzing through the air,
striking the mariner in the ribs and
telling him to the deck. Altman was
on the bridge of the steamer at the
time of the unusual happening. When
the Korea steamed into port yesterday
the second officer exhibited the flying
fish and related his strange experience.
The Korea was in the tropics when
the flying fish winged its flight over
the vessel. High above the water All
man was pacing the bridge, when, like
a bolt from the sky, something struck
him in the body. He staggered and
fell to the deck. He looked about him
for an explanation of the happening
and foud it in the huge flying fish
that lay Tapping its wing-like fins on
the deck. Here is A1lman's story OF
the affair:
cit happened at eight bells at
noon of April 2. We were in lat
titude 1925 north, longitude 169 west.
I was just taking the sun on the
bridge when the flying fish hit me. 1t
struck me head-on between my gar
board strakes. 1t sure knocked the
steam out of my siren. That fish must
have been travelling fifteen knots. We
were doing fifteen knots in the OPP
posite direction. Figure out from that
how hard that fish hit me-
The fish in the possession of Altman
is a remarkable specimen. It weighs
six pounds and is twenty-three inches
in length. It's wings are of unusual
and strength. The officers of
the Korea state that frequently in the
fish have fallen on the lower
deck, but never before have they
tc the height of the bridge.

IN the brain and the rest of the House
was threatened.
So careful have the members of the
House been, under the watchful eye of
the Speaker and the close scrutiny OF
John Hughes, of the Expenditure COM
mittee, that there threatened to be a
tidy surplus in the $4,000 set aside
for them for legislative expenses from
the Federal grant. 1t would be poor
policy, certainly, to let any of this
money get away out of the country
and go back to Washington, while at
the same time there is no possibility
of any of it being frittered away under
the supervision of the trio watching it,
Holstein, Hughes and Secretary Atkin-
son, but there was no reason why the
nishings out of the available balance.
Accordingly some fine new chairs have
been ordered and it is also quite likely
that there will be enough left over to
get the members a new desk apiece.

The House was agog oned day last week.
Princess Theresa appeared in the lobby
and winked her royal forefinger at Ka-
niho. "a long confab followed and the
other members exchanged hurried
notes. Some mornentous affair of state
was on tap, some great measure was
about to be presented, something was
to be precipitated upon the House, for
royal beauty and fervid eloquence la
combined and the members stirred I'M
easily in their leather bottomed chairs.
None knew from whence the lightning
was to strike. The Princess brought
with her into the lobby four of the
n when her champion marched back
to his seat he bore her colors upon his
swollen and still swelling bosom.
Throughout h rest of the days
session the House was in suspense.
Every time the honorable gentleman
from Kohala rose to his feet and rus
tied his leis the other members caught
their breath. None knew when the
great question would be sprung and
anxious eyes watched the royal per-
sonage as she nodded and beamed at
formation on every matter in sight and
s~teadfastly voted his aole and moved
indefinite postponements. Occasional
ly he would roll his eyes to the gallery
and exchange comprehensive smiles
with Her Highness, while the hands of
the clock crept around t. the hour OF
adjournment.
Heaving great signs of relief the
members grabbed their hats and gath
cred in little groups to discuss the
causes for the royal visit. They were
not left for long in suspense, however,
for the Princess descended upon them,
1shed in her royal reticule and began
selling tickets!
These bore the words: "A Grand
Melodrama, under the lead
ership of the Hon. III. NJ. Kaniho, adj
mission $1.00."
All the members bought tickets and
felt that they were getting off cheap
at the price.
Kaleo's ambition has been to put
through an appropriation to buy the
Pauoa springs for $40, 900. In season
and out of season, eve since the
House has met, he has doomed and
boosted for Pauoa water. The mem
bers of the House have been kept sup
piled with roses, irrigated from the
Pauoa springs, just to keep them in
mind of the matter, as if anyone in
the House has ever had a chance to
forget it with Kaleo bobbing up on
every possible occasion to move the

Blood Poisoning.

By the term blood-poisoning Is meant the presence in the blood of the germs of putrefaction or suppuration, or of the poisonous products of these germs. It Is necessary to define the expression at the beginning for strictly speaking every form of poisoning. including alec hollc intoxication, Is blood-poisoning.
 There are three distinct forms of blood poisoning. In one the germs of putrefaction are circulating in the blood and manufacturing their poison, upon which the symptoms of the disease de pend; in the second the blood-contained germs are those which cause pus-form- ation, and they also manufacture a pol son which produces the disease; In the third form the bacteria, either of pu- trefactlon or of suppuratlon, are not in the blood but on the surface of the body. and the symptoms are due to the absorption of the poison elaborated by them.
 The toxin, as this bacterla-produced poison Is called Is In this last instance imported, while in the first two cases mentioned 1t Is, as 1t were, of domestic nufacture-therefore obtained more easily and in greater quantity.
 These three forms are called in med ical language, septemia, pyemia and sa- premia, respectively, meaning septic germs in the blood, pus in the blood and the products of putrefaction In the blood
 The pyemic form is characterized by irregular chills, fever and sweating and the formation of abscesses in yarl- ous parts of the body. It Is very com monty fatal. Septema resembles pye- mia In its symptoms. except that the fever Is more continuous, not being in- terrupted by chills as It Is In pyemia and there Is no formation of abscesses The seyerer forms of septemia are al most always fatal, but the disease oc- CUTS often in mllder type, in which the chief symptoms are high fever, head ache, and depression of the vital forces
 Sapremia resembles septemia in Its symptoms, as 1t naturally should, since both these forms of blood-posoning are caused by the same poison, In one case formed outside of the body and absorb. ed by the tissues, In the other produced by the bacteria In the blood and tissues Sapremia may terminate fatally, but Ii yields more readily to treatment. This consists In management of the wound opening 1t up to the air, cutting away the fostering parts, cleansing the sur face thoroughly, and treating 1t with antiseptics.

Everything had gone wrong In the house that day.
 The cleaning was only half done, the place was upside down, the butchers boy came late, the dinner was mlsera- bly, cooked.
 She expected him to be cross. He had every right to be cross, she knew. She had mismanaged everything. She was just failure.
 And she threw her arms around his neck sobbing.
 But the man was more of man than she thought. He did not speak one un- pleasant word. He did not utter sin gle syllable of blame. He did not even frown the least bit.
 Instead, he put his arms around her and held her close. and said:
 "Cheer up, little woman. It's all right
 It might have been because he dis liked a scene, but 1t wasn't. It might have been because he understood that disagreeable words would not make things any better, but 1t wasn't that, either.
 It was because he was a man with a heart big enough to know the magic of kind word.
 Poets and authors have written vol umes about kind words, but none of them nor all of them have ever come anywhere near expressing all the beau- ty, all the power, all the comfort that lives in one little word of kindness.
 The world was a different place to that woman. Her tiredness vanished Her tears were dried. Her disappoint- ment In herself was taken away. Her love for her husband was magnified a thousandfold. There was only sunshine where there had been clouds.

SLAVES IN MASSACHUSETTS,.
House in Which They Were Sold
 Relic of Town of Hanover

House in Which They Were Sold
 Relic of Town of Hanover.
 A relic of slavery days In New Eng land in the middle of the eighteenth century. the old Tllden house on Win ter street, West Hanover, the only house In that town where slaves were kept for market, Is now being demol- ished, says the Boston Herald.
 The house Is one of the best-known landmarks in Plymouth County and has stood for nearly 200 years. It was used as a tavern in Its early days and later for a residence. Of recent years It has been abandoned to the elements and has rapidly fallen Into decay.
 No one knows the exact date of the building of the house, but historians agree that It was long before the ln- corporation of the town of Hanover In 1727.
 Jededlah Dwelley, of North Hanover who has spent much time In gathering facts concerning the early history of the town, says: While there was more or less buying and selling of slaves Gas In the middle of the eighteenth century nearly all the wealthy families owned one or more) this probably was the only place where the traffic was carried on for revenue. I have seen two bills of slaves sold from this house. One was from Job Tilden to a Mir. Bailey, of Scituate, negro child named Morrow, years of age. of good bodily health and kind disposition" One of Mir. Tilden's slaves named Cuffee served as a soldier In the Revo- lutionary War, and according to an old pay roll he was stationed at Hull, March 1, TIT. He was with Col. Bailey and died at Valley Forge. He was known as Cuffee Tilden and was so inscribed on the printed rolls. The books of the First Congregation al Church of Hanover record the mar rlage by the Rev. Benjamin Bass on Feb. 8, 1751, of Jack and Elijah, ser wants owned by Job Tilden, and also the death of negro boy owned by Job Tilden, Feb. 12, 1760.
 There are many other brief records of slaves kept in different families In Hanover.

 Here is an interesting letter:
 T play the nags once in while. l think have a pretty fair system and was just thinking of trying It when ran across an article which caused me to hesitate. If a man sticks to his sys- tenn, has control of himself and Is not a hog, but satisfied with a modest wa ger, Is there no chance of success? Do you think 1t impossible to win by a system? If there any reason why a man cannot keep decent and still play the gamer"
 Ever since Dlomed won the first Der by in England system after system has been devised for beating the races" !" says the New York Press. No system not a single one-has ever succeeded in the long run. I have figured out that there are twenty-seyen chances to one against you always in field of ten horses. The best system ever known Is at the mercy of the betting ring. There are not bookmakers enough in the United States to lay against a sys- tenn. Several years ago a man started with S5 bet, doubled 1t after each loss and returned to the original S after each winning. For while he prospered amazingly, playing nothing but the favorite, but in the end he went broke.
 If a man with a system could bet against the United States treasury he could win. At Sheepshead Bay four teen fayorites lost in succession. The fifteenth started at odds of to 1 and was an easy winner. Now, figure out the predicament of the man with the system. Starting with S5 and doubling after each loss he found 1t necessary to go into the ring and bet the sum of SS1,920. He stood then loser of SS1,- 945. If he could have bet on the if teenth favorite he would have had at issue over S163,0OO. Now, anybody who knows the betting ring knows that It would be utterly impossible for a dozen Joe yendigs to place practically SS2,000 at to 1. Bluff 1t could have been placed the system man would have won S246,OO0.
