Two Kaimuktes mounted the noun
tains between Waialae and Palolo val
leys last Sunday and one became ena-
mored of a huge tree-fern which he
determined to pack home His friend
grew impatient, having to get home to
feed the chickens and milk the COW,
and left him to loiter along with his
fern-tree burden. The bearer of the
small forest tried to make short cut
to catch up with the impatient one and
rolled 237 feet down the mountains side
hugging his fern landing in a thick
lantana grove and tearing his clothes
and hands so that the rags and skin
got hopelessly mixed. I'm wondering
if this is a judgment, for years ago this
same man advertised In eastern maya
zines that for the small sum of 25c.
he would send anybody a package of
seeds of the glorious lantana flower.

This story of Detective Taylor being
offered a bride of s14OO by Chinese
gamblers is the talk of the town and
there seems to be as many ways Of
looking at it as there were said to be
dollars for Taylor If he would but say
the word.
What would you do for $l40O?" one
man asked another on Merchant street.
The man questioned turned scarlet.
I'm ashamed to say" he said.
why, if l were offered $14OO all at
once" said another man. "Td drop
dead"
That's the reason Taylor refused,
remarked his friend, che did not want
to commit suicide"

Did the large number of young wom-

ever strike you? 1 don't mean the
young women strike you-heaven for
bid-but the fact that many are going
in for athletics. There are many young
women who have taken up rowing.
That sport has reached such favor
among the young women that it can
no longer receive the sighting title of
fad" When young women are
ready to erect a two-thousand-dollar
boat house, and incidentally to stick at
their practice week in and week out,
it shows that they like the sport. To
Secretary Atkinson is due largely the
increase of this form of sport among
the young women and he can, in fact,
be termed the Father of Female Row

patron saint-although no one has ever
before accused him Of being a saint
of the new sport among the ladies'. IN
stead Of adopting native names for
their boats, I suggest that the next

Not very long ago a case was report
ed to the police that a part of a human
body had been found i'm a yard in a
residence part of town. The first i'm
preston made by the report was that
a homicide had been committed and
there was quick run of the patrol wagon
TO where the remains We're reported to
be. In response to inquiries the police
were told by a young man that he
had found the skeleton i'm one of the
nearby lleys-presumably in a burial
cave or other burial place,-and that
me had taken it to aid him in his study
of anatomy he being actually or pros
pectively a medical student.
Apparently the anti-climax from an
expected mysterious murder to a skele-
ton from a native burial place was so
great that the police were entirely dis
concerted and let the matter drop as
being one of no consequence. The
statute book. however does not take
such cOmplacent view of the matter
Ii makes it a very serious offense to
disinter human remains without au-
thority. The penalty for every of
fender and every person accessory
thereto, either before or after the fact
shall be punished at hard labor for not
more than two years, or by a fine not
exceeding one thousand dollars" why
was not this law enforced in the case
in question? Certainly it was grue-
some enough case to have called for
some action. There was still flesh
enough On the skeleton, according to
the police report so that dogs were
dragging it about the yard.
1t isn't too late for the Grand jury to
look into the matter yet

a NATIVE DISH.

Stephen Thaw, nephew of Harry
Kendall Thaw, is a missionary in Syria
and to his friends in Pittsburg the
young man occasionally writes the
most amusing letters.
In a recent letter Mr. Thaw described
a dinner that a Chinese merchant had
given to an English traveller in re-
mote Syria town.
The Chinaman could speak no Eng
lish, and the Englishman could SPEAK
no Chinese; nevertheless the. dinner
went off very agreeably. The two men
sat facing one another in silence, while
a neat Chinese butler served them dish
after dish of surprising delicacy.
There was one dish especially that
pleased the Englishman. 1t was a rict
stew of onions, pork, mushrooms and
dark, tender, well-flavored meat that
seemed like duck.
The Englishman ate heartily of this
stew. Then he closed his eyes and
lifted his hands and shook his heac
with an air of ecstacy After this pan
tomimic compliment to the dish, ne
said interrogatively
'Quack, quack?"
No, no." said the Chinaman, Bow.

VERY SHARP.

III h9AA@hANAH
Lord Sholto Douglas was talking at a
dinner in Detroit, about American bu-
siness methods.
Since l have been bagman-l
mean a drummer-for a jewelry firm, %
said the young men, Il have learned
TO admire American business methods
tremendously. TO succeed here, though
one needs to be very sharp and clever
Indeed, the sharpness and cleverness
of American buyers is constant
amazement to me.
THE other day l was in a village
general store, endeavoring to make a
sale of jewelry, when a farmer entered
Give me-; said the farmer a
half-pound tobacco, three bars of soap
five yards of blue baby ribbon, and
pair of good suspenders.'
The articles were brought forth, in
spected, approved and wrapped up
