MEETING WAS
A DULL one
rrom rhur.day.a AaverlIse.l


The meeting Of the Board Of super
vlsors last nisht vas deadly dull. There
was just one little ripple following the
reading Of the minutes, when Supervi-
sor Harvey objected to the record OF
the turning down Of the s2Os bill for
the Koolau road work. Chairman Hus-
tace called for a vote on this and again
declared that the minutes would stand
as read. Harvey and Fern demanded
that their noes" be recorded, which
was done.
Throughout the meeting Hustace
preached economy, warning the mem
bers that the county would have less
revenue from now on until March next
unless the suit brought against the
Territory for q one-half share of the
icense money and fines was won. Then
there would be funds to burn, but In
the meanwhile everyone must 60 easy.

Samuel Beverley learned one Sunday
morning, Is something against which

had retired, and was spending mis-
DAVIS quietly In his native town.
Just after he had taken his accus

he was requested to perform the duty
OF an absent deacon, by assisting IN
taking up the collection. He was pro-
ceeding decorously along the aisle
with the plate. when. halfway down
the aisle, he came to the Atkinson
pew. On this, morning Mrs. Akin
sons Uncle Harvey, who happened 70
sit next the aisle. had dropped on
into a pleasant little nap.
When Beverly espied the old man
he unconsciously dotted the demeanor
suited to the place and In a twinkline
became official. He tapped the sleep
