IAUKEA'S
VISITOR
THWING A CONSTANT CALLER
ANDRADE AS A PEACEMAKER-
RECESS FOR LOVE.

There's something doing in police
circles, or somebody wants something
to be doing, for the Rev. Il. w. Thwing
has been a constant morning visitor
at the Office of County Sheriff Curtis
Iaukea for many days.
Thwing was again with Iaukea this
morning. They were alone together
with the doors closed.
All the department is guessing what
is up. 1t is believed he is endeavor-
ing to pursuade the sheriff to put a
stop to certain sport.
In police court this morning Judge
Andrade endeavored to reconcile Mr..
and Mrs Dan Smith.
Mrs. Smith alleged that her husband
threatened to annihilate her and she
is not prepared to die.
Judge Andrade asked her to give her
husband another trial.
Smith arose and took oath that he
never again would cuss, beat or abuse
his wife and that he would never again
get drunk.
But Mrs. Smith declared she would
have nothing more to do with her man.
Nevertheless Andrade put the case
over to give them chance to make
up"

they are wanted again it is only neces-
sary to straighten the branches out

When the inventor was a girl, fifty
five or sixty years ago. in Munich. she
went to one of those schools where
German girls are taught to do, as her
daughter says. everything init the
hands" 1t was having to make
wreaths out of beads that suggested
to her the notion of making bead
Christmas trees She set to work and
fashioned innumerable tiny loops of
green beads, each at the end of long,
slender wire. She bound the loops to-
gether in threes, making trefoils, and
the trefoils into branches and the
branches into a tapering trunk, the
trunk being formed of nothing at all
but the individual wires massed to-
gether. Then she trimmed the tree
with candles and those tiny waxen fig
ures which the Germans are adopts at
making and fixed it in a pot of sand
and melted wax. Her parents were
quite proud of it. Her father, who
was director of the Hofgarten in Mu-
Mich, showed it to his royal master,
aud King Ludwig Immediately ordered
one for the Christmas festivities at

Fortune For TOYS For the Poor.

The poor children of Pittsburg and
Allegheny are to benefit through the
expenditure of an estate valued at
$4,000, left by the late George b.
Mutt. The will provides that the es-
tate shall go to the wife during her
lifetime and then is to be divided
among his children equally. If the
children all die before their mother. at
her death the estate is to be spent for
the purchase of gifts and playthings
for poor children. especially those in
institutions. 1t was the wish of the
decedent that the money be expended
in small sums, to distribute it over as
large an area as possible and benefit
as many children as possible.

Origin Of the Christmas Tree.

There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple i'm

sled into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. 1t changed its ma

seasons preaching the story of mans

brightly with lights and become beau
tiful with love gifts. The curse is turn

waters for a long time, 1t looked as
though the Christmas dinner would
consist only Of canned stuff and fresh
vegetables and the peculiar cigarettes
Of the tropics. Fortunately the steam
er Philadelphia arrived at La Guayra,
one Of the ports blockaded, and, as it
could not unload, Captain Diehl, the
commander of the Marietta, succeeded
in inducing the commercial vessel to
part with two turkeys and some cram
berries which. among other things,
had been brought from New York
carefully slowed away in the icebox.
The Philadelphia had no Egyptian ciga-
rettes, and the question arose where
they could be got. Cronan pondered
deeply over the weighty problem and
then asked permission for a boat.
Without indicating what he proposed
to do he gave the orders TO proceed to
the British cruiser Tribune, which was
one Of the ships enforcing the block
ade.
Cronan was received by the ward
room mess of the Tribune with open
arms. AS a special mark of apprecia-
ton of his visit a box Of hundred
Egyptian cigarettes was brought forth
by the executive officer. Cronan was
invited to take one. His eyes fingered
longingly on the box as he extracted
a lonely weed. He remained about a
quarter Of an hour, and then, reach
ing over to the box, closed it and, to
the establishment of the Britishers,
put it under his arm. They were too
well bred to demonstrate, but their
eyes spoke volumes. 1t was their last
box! Cronan went over the side and
was pulled away to his own ship, leav-
ing behind disgust and desolation. AS
soon as he reached the Marietta he
asked Captain Diehl for one of the
