The ancient Hawaiians were never cannibals, but they had dreadful system of religious despotism that made humane sacrifices a common practice. They had many dieties, usually associated. or supposed to be associated with natural phenominas, and like most barbarous peoples, their worship largely took the form of propitiation of the gods who were more often antagonistic to humanity.
 Mano, the shark, was one of the most feared and consequently ven- erated most of the Hawaiian gods, and their close association with the ocean, from which a large part of their food came, of course brought with these great fishes Of the large family of sharks, the great man. eater species (Carcharodon carch- acias or niuhi as the natives knew it was naturally the most dreaded. This shark Is not so common in Ha- wAiian waters as it is in the West h. des, and in the Indan Ocean, but its appearncae is frequent enough to have made the Islanders thoroughly famil- air with it's yoracious habits. Strange as it may seem they did not hesitate to kill it, and in fact the feat was, al least under some circumstances, con- sdered to endow those wno acomp- lished it, with some of the attributed virtues or powers of the slain monster.
 The manner of hunting the man eater is part of recorded tradition, and is as interesting as it is curious. Elaborate prererations were made, in which the pries. doctors, or ka- hnas as they are called, took promi- nent part. A large qantity of roasted meat of pig and dog was prepared and finally with a kahuna in charge, the great double, outrigger canoes would put to sea and proceed many miles of sohre. When the proper place had been determined upon, the roast meat would be thrown into the water with the result that usually one or more oi the niuhis would be attracted sooner or later. At first the gary wOlud be wary but by means of more meat the big fish wolud finally be attrcted close to the canoes, and would become so bold as to thrust it's head out of the water to receive the food. Then the natives would begin to feed it with meat soaked in an infusion of root known as ava, which had narcotic pr;cniple, until it became partially supplied and floated sluggishly on the surface. After day or more of this 8 moose of rope would be slipped o yer the sharks head and the canoes head ed for home, the shark following a willing captive so long as the food was forthcoming.
 In this manner the tanned and par tiallly intoxicated fish would be brought close to shore when the rope would be passed ashore and the great creature pulled out of the water by the Islanders and soon dispatched. The body would be cut and various parts of it be distributed among the cap tors, each of whom was supposd to be thus rendered more powerful and less subject ot the evil influences, according to the part he had taken in the cap ure. The man who placed the moose over the sharks head was ac- conted to have been rendered practi ally ,nvincible. Twill J. Cooper.

We have no trolley system whereby we may get out and take spin, DO automobiles, nor drives to run them on, SO tho opportunities are few for US to get much recreation. But from now on until after February we will have more or less ice on the streets in town where the younger ones may get out and 'coast." Wouldn't it therefore be a wise plan to keep the favorite coasting places as free from obstructions as possible and reduce the possibility of accident to the nianumuns "a stitch ln time saves pine.h

Mr.. Gamers announcement
last week for county and district
clerk came in too late for this
paper to give him the customary
notice at that time. This week
he speaks for himself and The
News calls the attention of its
readers to his letter, published
in another column. Mr.. Garner
is a young man of high moral
character and exemplary habits;
his friends say he has the other
necessary qualifications and if
elected he will no doubt make a
good officer.

To the Voters of Randall County.

Gentlemen: AS some of my
best friends have urged me to
make the race for the office of
county and district clerk | have
decided to do 50, and as there are
many in the county who do not
know me, | take this method of
speaking a few words to you.
| live about eight miles west Of
Canyon City, farming part of
my fathers place on the shares.
While it is a fact, that 4 years
ago | had the misfortune to lose
my right foot by an accidental
gun shot, in the hands of a friend,
which loss is a severe one to me,
yet | do not come to ask for the
Office on this ground alone.
[ believe l am qualified to fill
this office. | have a fairly good
education, finishing with a bust
ness course in the Roberts Bust
ness College, Bowie, Texas.
| am a married man, 70 years
old. Am a total abstainer from
the use of whiskey, tobacco, and
bad language, and in politics a
Democrat.
Past record: Never stole any
thing bigger than chicken or
watermelon.
| realize that | have a hard race
to win, as | am contesting with a
good man and a competent clerk,
but if you will just give a boy a
chance, | assure you, | will do
my utmost to render correct ser
vice and courteous treatment. |
regard a public Office a public
trust and those who fill them are
but honored public servants.
hope to be able to meet IN
person every voter in the county
when | can leave my work., in
the meanwhile, | humbly solicit
your fair and deliberate consid-
GRAFTON.
Yours respectfully,
MARVIN p. GARNER.

For District Attorney.

The News is authorized to an
nounce Henry S. Bishop as can
didate to succeed himself as dis
trict attorney.
Mr. Bishop has been a resident
of the Plains, in Armstrong and
Potter counties, for some fifteen
years. He taught school awhile
and, then going to Austin, grad
uated in the law department of
our State University. Upon re-
turning home with his sheep
skin almost his first case in
court was representing the State
as district attorney and by his
record as such, from then until
the present, he is willing to be
judged. He became district at
torney when the office, owing to
the small pay, was not much
sought after and now that there
is compensation in it Mr.. Bishop
is of the opinion that heought, at
least, to one full term under the
present favorable conditions.
In Randall county, so far as
the knowledge of The News goes,
Mr.. Bishop has nothing to fear
from his record, official or other
wise, and he has strong friends
here who feel as he does, that he
should have one term anyway un-
der the new law.

The First Monday.

There was a good crowd in
town; several things for sale and
some were sold, but the bidding
appetite was wanting. The mon
ey stringency accounts for this,
no doubt.
Mrs. X. j. Greer had three Of
her White Holland turkeys on
exhibition. Nice birds they were,
and big ones, the male weighing
u lbs; the price asked was very
reasonable too, but those present
didn't want turkeys.
John Bell had his Plymouth
Rocks, ofcourse. Healso brought
three pigs of good stock and
pretty as pictures. He allowed
the pigs sold at auction; the price
was discouraging, $500 to $50
apiece.
With better disposition to
