The "PuI" and the Job,

Business men are constantly being
pestered by young men who seek posi-
tons through letters Of recommended
ton, often in the form Of personal re-
quests from fellow business men. One
may we'll question whether these let
ters have any great pulling power
after all. The Saturday Evening Post
tells of such an instance. After being
very politely dismissed by several
managers with the stereotyped express
sion that there was not a vacancy at
present, the young man tore up the let
ters and went back to the place last
visited.
"What can I do for you now?" the
manager asked in an annoyed tone.
pardon me-" said the young man,
'but I've just torn up those letters.
Could you give me job on my own
hook?"
The manager looked amused and
said: eve need young fellow to chip
castings in the machine shop at Sc a
week. If you like, you can have that
until something better turns up"
eyes, SIR" replied the job hunter,
''I'm ready now"

a Caustic Reioinder.

A physician who had for fifteen
gears been one of the doctors of the
Actors fund and who attended hun
tlreds Of actors with no compensation
whatever, wrote to prominent man
ager and asked for some theater tick
cts. His request was refused, the man
ager asking what the doctor had ever
done that he should be entitled to re-
ceive theater tickets gratis. The ply
sician Immediately replied His letter
contained brief recital Of his services
to theatrical people. In conclusion he
said: 'Despite my services, as named
above, l should not have thought Of
asking you for tickets had it not been
that upon the occasion of the death Of
Mr.. Blank you assured me that if you
could ever serve me in any way. what
ever you would consider it favor if
I would call upon you. However, I
bear you no ill will on account Of your
present action. was very glad to at
tend Mr.. Blank when he died in your
box Office, and should be happy to do
as much for you at any time.'

Tom Corwfn's Education.

The father Of Tom Corwin, the IA
nous Kentucky statesman, orator and
wit, felt that he was too poor to make
a scholar Of more than one child Of his
large family, and so the elder brother,
Matthias, was kept at school and
Thomas placed at hard work on the
farm. The breaking Of a leg proved a
happy incident in the life Of the boy,
as the enforced confinement gave him
time for devotion to his beloved books.
and he committed Latin grammar to
memory. Upon his recovery he again
importuned his father to send him to
school and, meeting a refusal, deliber-
ately broke his leg the second time that
he might have leisure to study. His
heroic determination to learn resulted
in his being placed in the same institu-
ton attended by his brother, where his
natural ability and great industry gath
cred thorough knowledge Of the best
English literature and a fair acquaint-
ance with the Latin classics.-Ohio

Placing the Responsibility

For six months OF more the drug
gist's assistant had occupied his leisure
moments by writing verses for the vii
lage paper, in the poets corner of
which publication they appeared anony-
mously every Thursday, says the
Youths Companion. On opening his
copy of the Weekly Bugle one morning,
and, turning first, as was his regular
habit, to that particular corner, he was
surprised and gratifed beyond meas
ure to see his name in full appended to
his latest poetical outbreak.
He fastened to call at the Office Of
the Bugle.
'Mr. Stires,'' he said to the editor, Il
want to thank you for signing my
name to my poem in this weeks paper.
1t encourages a fellow when he gets
proper credit for his work.
ooh, that's all right, Jobson," re-
sponded the editor. Eve thought it
was about time to place the RESPONSE
bility for that poetry where it be-
longed."

Queen Sophia and Bismarck.

Queen Sophia of the Netherlands, the
first wife Of King William III. Of HOl-
land, was too great a friend of En-
peror Napoleon III, the Empress Eu-
genie and of France generally to take
kindly to Bismarck. Before the big
war Of 1870 and probably some time
after the Luxembourg squabble there
was an international exhibition in Am
sterdam, which the queen visited. She
was conducted over the whole place by
the committee, and as they came to a
certain section one Of the members
said, "Now your majesty will see the
greatest enemy Of Germany" "Ah,
Bismarck" she cried, with some glee.
The members stood aghast and never
repeated this rash exclamation. The
"greatest enemy he had to exhibit
was not, Of course, Bismarck at all,
but only a very much enlarged repro
duction Of either the phylloXera or the
Colorado beetle, which at that time did
a great deal Of harm to German agri-
culture. Westminster Gazette.

Processes Which Defy Analysis.

I think that the more thoroughly and
conscientiously we endeavor to study
biological problems the more we are
convinced that even those processes
which we have already regarded as ex-
plicable both by chemical and physical
laws are in reality infinitely more COM
pick and at present defy any attempts
at mechanical explanation. Thus we
have been satisfied to account for the
absorption Of food from the alimentary
canal by the laws Of diffusion and
osmosis. But we now know that, as re-
CARDS osmosis, the wall Of the intestine
does not behave like dead membrane.
We know that the intestinal wall is
covered with epithelium and that every
epithelial cell is in itself an organism,
a living being with the most complex
functions. We know that it takes up
food by the active contractions Of it's
protoplasm in the same way as OBJ
served in independent naked animal
cells.-A. Bunge.

Her Valentine.

A young woman wrote about the
year 1850: 1.-THE night before st. Valen-
tines day got five bay leaves and
pinned four of them to the four cor
ners of my pillow and the fifth to the
middle. And then if l dreamed of my
sweetheart Betty said we would be
married before the year was out. But
to make more sure I boiled an egg
hard and took out the yolk and filed it
with salt and when 1 went to bed ate
it, shell and all, without speaking or
drinking after it. We also wrote our
lovers names upon bits Of paper and
rolled them up in clay and put them
into water, and the first that rose up
was to be our valentine Mr.. Blossom
was my man. I lay abed and shut my
eyes all the morning till he came to
our house, for I would not have seen
another man before him for all the
world"

Beethoyen's Oddities.

' Beethoven used the shutters for a
toothpick. It was one Of his peculiar
tiles that he never allowed his servant
to enter his study. He insisted that
this room should remain exactly as he
left it, no matter how deeply the dust
lay on the precious musical manu-
scripts. He seldom looked in the glass
when he tied his stock. Half the time
he forgot to brush his hair. Every
morning he carefully counted out sew
enteen beans from the coffee canister
These served for his breakfast. When
he composed he would pour cold wa
ter over his hands, and often people
below him would complain of the wa
ter that soaked through his floor.

From queer names and descriptions

Of people. Among number of racy
instances is one quoted by Mr.. Fox
Davies, the well known authority on

Buchan fishing villages a stranger had
occasion to call on a fisherman Of the
name Of Alexander White. Meeting
girl, he asked, Can We tell me far

DAM
NOT HURT
GOVERNOR AND HOLLOWAY
THINK LATEST NUUANU KNOCK
HAS LITTLE FOUNDATION.

The report that heavy rains up Nuu-
anu valley had caused heavy damage
to the uncompleted Nuuanu dam on
Wednesday, is denied by the Depart
ment of Public Works and by Cover
nor Frear, although the latter speaks
from hearsay only. He however feels
very confident that the damage is not
very great
Both Superintendent Holloway and
his engineer in charge, ]. H. Rowland,
went out to the dam early this morn
ing and had not returned to their Off
ces up to noon time.
In speaking of the matter, Governor
Frear stated that the slip talked of
had been explained to him as being but
a small wash of the earth fiji on the
upper side Of the DAM and in no wise
effecting the structure as a whole or
any sense endangering the works. In
sluicing down the material from the
hillside a settling basin had been
formed above the dam in which the
lllclLGl lcll oGIJlGu anu JllG WdJGI was 4G-
pumped back up the hill for use again.
In order to conserve this water, and to
prevent the material carried down
from spreading up stream from where
it was wanted, a small levee was
thrown around the upper side, which
was raised as the work progressed. 1t
was through this temporary levee that
the water broke when the rains filled
the pond it empounded to overlooking,
and simply drained the water into the
main basin of the reservoir above the
dam.
"There was nothing near 1000 yards
Of fill wash out as stated, I am assur.
cd" said the Governor, land 1 do not
think it can be very serious"

last Sunday in the first round of the
championship tournament, have been
doing some hard work this week get
ting into form, for what promises to
be one of the hardest tournaments
that has ever been played here in the
islands. The winner is very much in
doubt, but the chances of Hartwel
coming out on top are very good, as
he has been playing better this week
in practice than ever before, and will
go out to win next Sunday. The
closest competitor he has is young
White, but Hartwell is much older
than White and has played much long
er. White will have to play some very
good golf to land the coveted title.
The matches will start promptly at 10
a. M and at p. m.

APPEAL TO
governor
POSTMASTER PRATT REVIEWS
FIGHT FOR REMOVAL OF HO-
NOLULU HALE.

Postmaster ]. G. Pratt called on
Governor Frear this morning and sub
mitted a proposition for the improve
ment of the post Office facilities,
through the removal of the Honolulu
Hale on the Waikiki side of the post
office building. He had had blue prints
prepared showing the proposed chan
ges, on which, however, no definite ac-
ton has been taken.
Postmaster Pratt wants to have the
old Honolulu Hale removed in order
to allow a thirty-foot driveway to be
made on the Waikiki side of the post
Office to facilitate the delivery of mails.
At present it is necessary to carry all
the mails through from the Bethel
street side, and in the case Of the
registered mail it must be carried a
| considerable distance through the
buildings in order to get it into the
new quarters in the McCandless block
Governor Frear said that he didn't
know whether it would be advisable
| TO remove the old building at the pres
ent time as the Territory could scarce
ly expect to get as much rent from
the government for the small strip of
land as the building brings. However
if it were decided upon it is likely
that the remainder Of the lot would be
cleared also and used as a small park,
or else leased for building purposes.
The park idea might be carried out
with the addition of the post Office lot
after the post Office finally moves into
the Federal Building to be built, pro-
vided the Federal Government will re-
turn the site to the Territory. e
Governor Frear is rather interested
in hearing some expressions of opinion
on the matter, before he considers the
question seriously.
