farmers and others that owr COWS is
to believe that their COWS give more
milk by so per cent. than they do
The COW above mentioned gave on
the average perhaps ten quarts of

enough cows to justify him in keeping

MONTPELIER
Hasten Slowly.

1t is not well to be too eager to ac-
Quire wealth, especially when it en-
tails long hours of work and constant
anxiety. The other day a rich mer-
chant of Illinois, travelling in England,
wrote home to his son, who is carrying
on the business: Il am a middle
aged man." he said, "and ! am just
learning that it is wisest to hasten
slowly" In the anxiety to grow rich,
he had made too much haste, and had
suffered seriously in health and in
the reasonable enjoyment of life. He
had worked all day and all night when
had taken no count of days of rest, or
any other time. It was work and
scheme, scheme and work, all the
time. lie had at last awakened in
his old age to the fact that he has
made great mistake. No one depre
Gates work, steady and persevering;
for the young man that is, in many
instances, essential to any kind of
success; but to make oneself a slave
to the anxiety to become rich is an
other matter. That is just what many
husband and father is now doing.
1t is the wife's duty, says New York
Weekly, to check this; she should
take care that he does not become so
consumed by the notion that he must
constantly improve his condition by
unceasing labor, day after day, and
thus let his life slip away and his
health go with it. The anxiety to get
wealth does not always end in con-
slant work; it often entails growing
carelessness for the difference be-
tween right and wrong and the wei
fare of others. Very frequently a
woman forces her husband along this
dangerous path instead of keeping MIN
in check. She sees money coming in,
and she spends it, not troubling about
how he works to get 1t or in which
way he obtains the coveted wealth.

STEAMSHIP Indiana
HERE FOR JAPANESE
Prominent People Apply

| sage

The steamship Indiana, which has
been looked for since last Tuesday,
came into the harbor this morning at
1920 and docked at Sorenson's wharf.
f. Maxine, the leader of the hui
who chartered the Indiana; A. v.
Gear, the local attorney for the char
terers, and one of the owners of the
vessel, John Barneson, were. at the
wharf to receive the ship, going
aboard as soon as she touched the
dock.
Maxine says that the Japanese emf
grants stand ready to go on board at
a moments notice, and that there are
enough to fill her up. The ship will
be rushed away as soon as possible.
From appearances, the Indiana is in
first class shape. In her cabin Is can
he very comfortably accommodated.
Arrangements have been made in the
steerage to carry 800, the full cOmpli-
ment of life preservers being on board
and distributed in each berth.
During the Spanish war the Indiana
called in here She was in the capac-
ity of transport at that time.
The promoters of the Indiana
scheme do not take much stock in the
hard luck stories that come from the
Coast. in regard to the Japanese who
went away on the kumerfc.
The Indiana was built in 1873, and
is sister ship to the steamship Ohio
which brought here the Los Angelans
as the guests OF the Promotion Com
mItee On examination of the Indi-
ana in company with Captain Barne-
son, showed that she is most elegantly
fitted out, especially the cabin accom-
modations.
She came down in nine days from
San Francisco and sighted bark DUR
ing the voyage. Immediately upon the
arrival of the Indiana many local
prominent people who personally in
spected the vessel applied for accom-
|modations in the cabin. Among the
local Japanese community many pro-
sessional men are endeavoring to go
TO Vancouver on vacation.
Capt. John Barnesson, the president
of the Barneson-Hibberd Company,
came down in the Siberia, bringing his
automobile, and has taken in the
sights of the town in company with
A. V. Gear, the attorney of the char
terers. In the absence of Captain c.

voyage was very pleasant.

WAGON AND TEAM
PASaS OVER HER
Mrs. Maclntyre Narrowly
Escapes Terrible
Death

Mrs. Donald MacIntyre. the wife or
the head gardener at the Damon estate
at Moanalua, was this morning the
victim of very dangerous accident
from which she escaped with her life
only by seeming miracle. Mrs. Mac
Jntyre was driving to town in one
horse buggy and was about a mile
from her home when the accident
happened. A heavy wagon, pulled by
two horses and driven by a Chinese.
was coming behind her, also bound for
town. When 1t was about couple OF
hundred feet distant from her an auto
mobile came up from behind the wag-
on. Although it was not going at
great rate o. speed it frightened the
horses and they broke into a fast trot.
Although the team was not running
very fast the Chinese driver seemed
unable to control them, and although
he had plenty of room and opportunity
to turn them away from the right side
of the road along which Mrs Mac
Intyre was driving, he failed to do so.
and one Of h.s horses went crashing
into the side of her buggy, which was
overturned.
The unfortunate lady was instantly
thrown from the buggy and fell on the
road directly In front of sle feet of the
frightened ho7ses. The animals and
the wagon passed over her as she lay
PROSTATE on the road, but through ex-
treme good fortune she happened to
lie in such a position that she was not
touched by the wheels.
BY this time the automobile had ar
rived on the scene. Its occupants
picked up Mrs. MacIntyre and took her
back to her home. A physician was
called, but she does not appear to have
been badly injured, confusion on one
shoulder, caused either by her striking
the road or by the hoof of one of the
horses as it passed over her, being the
only injury she had received The
buggy was badly damaged.

Buck Up To John

'Litchfield Is doing fine"

"Litchfield Is doing fine.
This statement was made this noon
by DR.. Herbert, who has been attend
ing ever since he met with his terrible
accident. 1t seems that there are ex-
cellent chances for the unfortunate
mans recovery, and incidentally a
great load will be lifted off the minds
of those who were responsible for. the
accident.
"Litchfeld passed a very good
night" continued DR.. Herbert. He
is now perfectly conscious. His mind
wanders a little at times but very lit
tie. | guess that he will recover all
right, and | hope that no permanent
injuries will result. 1t Is always very
hard to tell In the case of injuries to
the head where man has been un-
conscious for any length of time
whether injuries may not crop up
later in life.
"There will be some exfoliation OF
the bone, but this will not take place
before after few weeks. This will be

trust that it will not cause danger"
several days whether there will be any
prosecution on the part of the police
against w, F. Dillingham; and the
other car owners who were with him
at the time of the Litchfield accident.
Sheriff 1aukea claims that he has
made a full investigation of the mat
ter, but in spite of this he has been
unable to make up his mind on the
subject. He also utterly refuses TO
give out the facts which he says he
has learned.
After vacillating for some time the
Sheriff this morning yielded to his de-
sire to shirk the responsibility in tho
whole affair, and passed the buck up
to County Attorney Cathcart. He
stated this morning that it would de-
pend on the decision which Cathcart
made in the matter whether the police
would ta. a. :. on 0" not.
Eyes, the Sheriff h.., ..-sc1 the
buck up to me, and | am perfectly
willing to take the entire responsible
| ity in the matter. am now having
the affair investigated and am getting
all the evidence together. 1t will be
several days before l make my decis.
ion. | am looking into not only the
part which the Dillingham; auto took,
but into that which the two other
autos took as we'll. If it is found that
they were violating the law proceed
ings will be instituted against them.
Yes, | think that the Governor is
amenable under the law, but the police
tell me that his auto was not violating
the ordinance.
"One thing | will say" continued
Cathcart, "And that is that l shall
not be actuated by any popular clamoi
against the automobilists to take steps
against. | shall proceed only in case
am satisfied by the evidence gather
that they were actually violating the
law. The fact that an automobile
caused an accident Is by no means
prima facie evidence that it was being
heedlessly driven"
"In the case where Gus Schuman
was alleged to have run down Chi
nese woman with his automobile, en-
tered a nolle prosequi for the reason
that the Chinese woman refused to
prosecute and declared the accident
was due solely to her own careless
ness. Nothing could then be done, as
the accident occurred outside of the
speed limits"
