WHY THE HEN
CROSSED ROAD

Anyone going by the courthouse last
Monday might have been forgiven if
he had come to the conclusion that
Judge Dole had gone in for small farm
ing, or at least chicken raising on the
premises of justice, says the Garden
Island. The Judge was walking about
with n flock of chickens ut his heels
and looked very interested.
The interest was, however, not so
much in the feathered birds as it was
in the reason for their being allowed
to desecrate the unspotted premises of
Mrs. Justitia, and he listened more in
tently to the story of their migration
than he did to the cluck- cluck of the
mother hen.
IL appears that the flock and its
fOrebears for some generations back
have lived with MadinOo Madeira over
in Hanamaulu and have been both
pleasure and n source of revenue to
him. Whether it was jealousy of Ma
dingo's JOY or kleptomania pure and
simple that possessed Eahiku Keau did
not come ont at the trial, but wit
nesses told, and he himself admitted,
that he had lured the feathered tribe
from its ancestral hall to his own
The pleasures and emoluments that for
.merlY were the lot of Madingo.
JUDGE Dole termed the transaction
larceny, and explained the meaning of
the word to Kahiku, who admitted
that he thought the definition was cor
rect. Translated into dollars and
cents it meant ap even SIS in fine and
81 for cost.
