sHIozAwA SAYS FAKE.

c. Shiozawa, the editor of the Hawaii
Shinpo Sha, the local Japanese news
paper, claims to have unearthed a
scheme to do up his countrymen by
means of a fake steamship company
He claims that japanese named Ito
was pretending to represent new
steamship company, that would begin
operations with the s. s. Ohio, the
latter part of this month, and was
offering to take Japanese passengers to
San Francisco for $50. According to
the claims of Shiozawa, the man had
no authority to represent such con-
Germ, for the vessel is to come here
with special party of Los Angeles
business men within the course of a
month or SO.

II wonder what ali these people do

station, in the waiting rooms at Jer-
sey City and HoGoken, sitting down
and apparently waiting without end
You see the same types not only in
New York, but in any Of the railroad
waiting rooms of the H.. cities They
don't seem to have anything TO do;
large part of them are not even enter
tanning themselves by reading. They
appear to be watching nothing in par
ticular, and YET there they sit and
wait They don't seem to be interested
in the movements of the trains, for
they never look up when the 'bawler'
comes through. They don't seem to be
waiting for anybody, as they show
little interest in the crowds that stream
through after the arrival of every
train.
There is the mother with the usual
assortment Of babies, one of them al
ways squalling and the rest of them
running around with faces sticky with
candy; the thin, ancient dame with an
umbrella and a reticule. the elderly
gentleman with the black bag, the
young lady with the paper backed

necktle. Look any waiting room crowd

brought from the railroad by a horse
car system, the cars going down load
ed with ore and coming back with the
coal when it was needed. Every SHOW
elful had to be thrown just where it
was needed to feed the fire evenly. and
Jim's arms ached as he strove to learn
the proper twist of the shovel TO land
the coal in the desired spot.
1t was two weeks before he could be
Casey pronounced himself satisfied
with Jim's ability, and he reigned over
the stoke pit for eight hours a day.
1t was hard work for a man whose
exercise had been taken in a gymna-
SUM, but Jim rapidly hardened to it,
and in six months it had become sec
ond habit.
He sent east for books on engineer
ing, and by mistake q book on cleo
trical engines was sent him instead of
the one for which he wrote. He sat
down to look it over before lie sent it
back. and to the original book he add
ed others.
He had been there little more than
year when he sought out Travers and
laid u plan before him. Less than half
mile up the valley a constant fall
broke over the high cliff and rolled in
to the valley, 400 feet below. 1t was
Jim's plan to use water power instead
of steam and employ a trolley Oh the
tramway.
Travers smiled at first, but Jim
worked out the plan for him, and the
New York Office approved. jim was
put in charge of the plant and the
company raised Travers' salary.
1t was well toward the close of the
second year that Dufford came to visit
the mine. No one knew of his inten-
ton until word was telegraphed from
the station. The word was flashed
about the camp that the old man had
come, but the first hint that ladies' ac-
companied him came TO Jim as he
stood in the door of the power house.
The road led past the door, and as he
stood listening to the rhythmic pur OF
the dynamo the familiar sound was
broken by the quick beat of horses
hoofs on the hard road. and around
the curve swung u maddened broncho
with woman swaying in the saddle.
Marsden sprang into the roadway
and III one tense moment fought the
insane brute with desperate energy as
he was dragged along. Then the fight
was won, and he sprang to the saddle
just as Marjorie slipped faintinE. from
the seat.
Il came because | wanted to see for
myself" she explained an hour later
as they sat Oh the porch Of the super
intendent's cottage. Il coulG not be-

should insist upon a two years appren-
ticeship, but if Jacob could serve seven
years and again seven for Rachel. he
should be able to serve for two.
The old man had no particular objec-
ton to him save that he had inherited
his money. This being the case the
stipulation that he should not even
write Marjorie, lest he work upon her
sympathies, seemed particularly hard,
but Dufford was hard man, and if
Marsden wanted Marjorie for his wife,
he could only bow TO the dictum.
1t was four days before he landed in
the little Colorado town which was the
nearest railroad point to the mine, and
the next morning a six hour ride
brought him to the dcsolate collection
of buildings grouped around the shaft
of the mine, which night and day
ground out more wealth for the COM
pany Of which Dufford was the head.
The superintendent was easily found,
and he glanced over the letter Marsden
presented.
"All right" he said CURLY. Had
any experience firing?"
Guns or steam engines?" said Mars
den.
"You know very we'll" was the sharp
response. Can you fire an engineer
81 cam was the quiet answer,
though l have had no experience at
the work. It's merely a matter of
shoveling coal, isn't it,"
HCbOualipo tho cooI pi,,l,+ no,,ootoI
the superintendent. Better take your
things over to the bunk house, then go
to the engineer and tell him that you're
Jim and that Casey is to show you how
TO fire. What Is it, Peters,"
He turned to attend to another man
who had entered, and feeling himself
dismissed Jim turned away.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
bunk house was the long, low shed
where the men slept and ate. The
Chinaman in charge of the place
showed him where to put his trunk at
the side of narrow cot, and present
ly, clad In a suit of overalls, Jim
strolled into the engine room and pre-
scented himself to the engineer.
II am JIM" he said simply. "Mr.
Travers said that Casey was to show
me how to fire.
The engineer nodded over his Shout
der.
Tell Casey" he said and went on
with his oiling.
Casey was more companionable. He
deftly elected information as to Jim's
place Of hailing and other facts as he
made 1t apparent that Mr.. Trevers was
right when he said that 1t was not
merely question Of shoveling coal

Fishes In Captivity.

Fishes in aquariums when first
placed in captivity are likely to be
wild and to seek constantly to escape.
Sooner or later they quiet down, and
often they become very tame. They
feed we'll and grow and seem quite
settled and content in their new home.
But 1t may be that some fish, after a
year of this quiet, routine life, are sud-
denly seized again with a desire to es-
cape and go wild in their efforts, roam
ing the tank necessarily and finally
killing themselves by running blindly
or recklessly into a wall Fishes are
sometimes greatly disturbed by para
sites. But fishes that are perfectly
sound take on sometimes in this man
ner, and their actions seem attributa-
BILE only to the awakening of an in.
tense desire to be free again.

A Greater Department Store.

It was the privilege and pleasure of
this writer to visit the Greater De-

Co., while in Columbia last week. 1t
would be an injustice for US to ever
attempt to give an idea of the i'm
mense stock of new goods that are
now arriving daily at this great store.
Suffice it to say that everything that
is new, beautiful and good in dry
goods, notions, shoes, hats, carpets,
mattings, rugs, art squares, ladies'
dress goods, cloaks, jackets, skirts
and suits. The millinery department.
is the pride of the store, and never
before have we seen such beautiful
and stunning array of ladies' head
gear; gents clothing and furnishings.
The glass and crockery department.
is bubbling over with bargains in
fancy glass and chinaware, tinware
and thousands of useful articles in
bricabrac, etc.
Every department. is conveniently
and tastily arranged, which makes
the store all the more attractive.
From the basement to the third floor
no matter where you go-your eyes
behold new goods. These purchases
were all made by Mr.. Mimnaugh,
himself, for his customers, and this,
within itself, is ample guarantee that
they were bought right, for there is
no business man in the country that
knows better how to buy and make
selections than he.
60 and see this mammoth stock
there is nothing to equal it in the en-
tire South. Polite, courteous and
prompt ladies and gentlemen ready
to serve you.
