HOW To POPULARRE

something should be done 10 populariza

resort for those that have the time or
leisure 10 enjoy It. I do not think It
too much 10 say that this beach Is one
of the finest In the world, and il IS
a great pity that it Is not appreel-
ated by the people Of Honolulu. II Is
true that Mr. A Fl. Ford with his
surfboaTt1s. and surfcanoes Is doing
great deal re increase the attendance
and the popularity Of the place, but
even this Is not patronized a. II should
be.
am Of opinion that a swimming
club or bathing club. in connection
with the Outrigger club, that would
meet one or two days a week, would
be a means Of attracting more people
al the beach. This would be certainly
a drawing card If the band could be
induced TO play there on these ocea-
sions. or the day the club meets. 7

MAHOA ROADS NEED
SOME LOOKING AFTER

Supervisors Hustace and Dwight and
Road Supervisor Cummins received a
delegation of MaRoa and College Hills
residents. headed by Judge Henry E.
Cooper, on Wednesday and listened TO
arguments in favor of repairing some
of the roads in those suburbs About
a dozen residents, all members OF the
Manoa Improvement club. met at
Judge Cooper s Office about 4 o eloek
and in body descended upon Super,
visor Dwight at Allen & Robinson $
lumber yard. The supervisor was at
the moment IN deep conference with
Chairman Hnstace, the destinles of the
County of Oahu being discussed on a
pile of boards. Road Supervisor Cum
Minis happening to come along at that
moment, fairly representative mem
hership of the county board heard the
appeal for better roads.
Judge Cooper. as spokesman, called
attention TO the really bad condition
of the roads beyond the Rapid Transit
station at the junction of the Upper
and Lower Manoa roads and Kameha-
meha avenue.
Mr. Cnmmins said he had four men
working on the Manoa roads. These,
it was aseertained are working in the
upper end of the valley. It was also
stated that large body of men was
employed in building Metcalf avenue
which viii connect Manoa direct with
Wilder avenue, in Marquesville. This
work would take about six weeks
longer. when the men could be set 20
work on the Manoa roads proper.
Chairman Hustaee suggested that the
Manoa people give their suggestions TO
Judge Cooper and that he IN turn dis
enss the matter with the supervisors,
and advance the claims of the roads
which needed repairs most. II is con.
eeded that the two roads needing I'M
mediate repairs are the upper road
from the ear station TO Judge Coop
er Is, at least, and the lower road to
its intersection of Oahu avenue. at
least. Very little permanent road work
has been done IN Man0a. by the gov
eminent, in the past nine years, with
the exception of the road from Hast
ings street to the top of Manoa Hill,
an expensive highway, which IS likely
TO deteriorate unless fresh coating
of oil is applied soon.

FEARFUL SEIZURES OF PAIN
Doan's Baekacne Kidney Pills Remov-
ed a Dozen Large Stones and
Relieved the Pain

Joseph DeIoge, Of Renton. Wash,
L. s. A. writes Of his wonderful cure.
He says:
Il think the alkali water Of the West
affected my kidneys. I began to have
pain in the back, headache and dizzy
spells. I was SO stiff and lame 1t hurt
me to work 7 came to Seattle. but
the change of climate did not help me
It was dangerous for me to work at
my trade. Once / was taken with a
dizzy spell when walking along the
joists of a building. I had to get down
on my knees 10 avoid falling TO the
ground The urine at this time was
thick, red and Ill smelling. Soon was
taken with an awful pain in the groin
I thought had appendicitis In agony
I went to a doctor. He said gall stone,
and administered morphine 10 ease my
pain. He gave me some efferyescent
salts and said It would dissolve the
stone. but it didn't
soon after this. I heard about Doan's
Baakache Kidney Pills, and began
using them faithfully. The treatment
very quickly began TO dissolve the
stone. It crumbled and came out in the
urine, in the form Of a sandy, gritty
sediment For several days this con-
tlnued, and the grit was SO thick it
could be scraped off the bottom Of the
vessel in large quantities One day
the urine stopped flowing, and ! was
taken with q frightful pain. It kept
up all through the hours OF the night
There was constant desire TO urinates
but could not pass a drop In the
morning that big stone I sent you came
out. and was followed with a gush Of
blood in the urine. Next came the
smaller stones. and then more sand and
grit.
The suffering was something terri
bic. hut I began TO feel well right after.
Backache, headache. and dizziness
disappeared. and I picked up IN health
and strength Ny whole system felt
the benefit. I am sure Doan's Back

have never had an attack Of gravel or

cutors; he told stories. In fifteen minutes
he had the audience going-and all were
going his Wsy.
1t was in the lull of a moment that a
husky young man on the upper front row
leaned over the rail and hurled at the
orator that immortal phrase:
"Chauncey, you're a peach!'
Up to that moment peach had been no
more than an apple a pear, or an apricot.
But what has it not stood for since that
memorable night? Is not the term "a
peach" the sweetest song of praise that
can be sung into the human ear?
A porter or a roustabout is one who
handles bales and boxes and drags them
in or out with a sharp-pointed hook. And
it was one of these who from an upper
gallery of the Bowery vaudeville house
condemned ar ambitious amateur and gave
a new slang phrase to the world when he
suggested an accelerated exit from the
stage as he bawled from his enthroned
height:

One of these versatile vaudeville fellows
whose fun flows as much from what they
say as from what they do, was juggling tin

go to sleep throwing up three and catch

but not enough to strain his nerves of his
muscles, while six required his most deeply

When the dishes lay prone upon the floor
and the clatter they made had subsidized
the juegler walked over to a table and hung
a placard on the front. 1t contained one
word:
"Skiddo"'
Again he essayed the seven with the
same result. Again he walked over, and
the second placsrd read follows:
"Twenty-three"
At the disastrous termination of the third
he hung up the words:

With that he dashed from the stage, fol-
lowed by the laughter and howls of the
audience.
In the case of the vaudevillst the slang
was fun, pure and simple. Thus does the
slang that comes naturally, and has a

SKIPPED WITH HER FORTUNE
Professor Who Preached Honesty
Disappears With Wife's
Cash.

American tuft-hunting heiresses have eX-
perienced many TRIALS and disappointments
in exchanging their fortunes for titles. but
few If any have gone against a more brutal
shakedown than the foreign wife of an
American professor who told her troubles
to a Chicago policeman few days ago.
Mrs Ida Wythes Hensoldt, the bride of
Prof. Henry Hensoldt, former assistant
professor in Columbia university, whom
she met while he was delivering lectures
on the Ethics of Honesty" asked the
police of Chicago to aid in a search for
him. She accuses him of abandoning her
and taking her dowry of $4,000 in cash.
Mrs Hensoldt told the police that she is
a daughter of a member of the Australian
Parliament and met Prof. Hensoldt in
Sydney. where he lectured two years ago.
He was entertained by many of the social
leaders of Sydney and thus met Miss Ida
Wythes, Prof. Hensoldt established in
Sydney ; magazine entitled Occidental and
Oriental" displaying editorial ability which
enhanced his standing. He courted Miss
Wythes and married her, she says, on
January IS.
On the advice of her husband she says.
she sold for $4,000 a ranch which she owned
in Australia, Prof. HensoIdt suggesting that
the money be invested in ranch in this
country. The couple arrived in San Fran
cisco on February 2i and set forth for
Chicago. where Prof Hensoldt registered
at the Palmer house on February "a under
the name of Henderson and disappeared.
Subsequently. Mrs. Hensoidt says. she re-
ceived a letter from him stating that he
was on his way to Texas to purchase a
ranch and would return I'm two weeks. She
learned later that Prof Hensoldt had
registered under an assumed name. He told
her that he came to America in 1894 from
Germany.
Henry Hensoldt was a student in Colum-
bia university from 1858 to 1891. He was
assistant TO the professor of natural his
tory and received the degree OF Phi. y.
After leaving Columbia in 1891 Prof, Hen
soldt gained prominence by lecturing and
writing on occult science. theosophy and

elusive of the live stock was all that the
owner actually possessed.
Perhaps he would not own the land on
which his buildings stood. but his cattle
would wander over a territory of possibly
one hundred square miles. Eastern visitors
on a ranch always express wonder that
they see only a few cattle, two or three
at time wandering about through the
mesquite and sagebrush, and staring mood
lily as the blackboard rattles past and raises
the dust. One can readily appreciate how,
in this wide area and in those early times,
when the only law was loaded forty-five-
caliber Colt men could go about and place
their brand upon new calves, or alter old
brands without molestation.
Men Who Feared No Law.
The first population of a new western
country always included many OF unde-
srabe citizens Of older parts, men who
feared nothing. who regarded no written
or unwritten law save the one alluded to,

Instrumental in appointing as sheriffs men
of the stamp of Garrett.
Neither Garrett nor Billy the Kid coin
cided entirely with the stage idea of FAR
westerner. Like so many of the frontier
settlers. Garrett was tall, standing about
six feet four; unassuming, and deliberate
of movement. BY no stretch, of imagina-
tion could he be thought of as posing in
barroom with both guns out, and dra-
matcally stating that the first man who
moved would be a goner.
Billy the Kid acquired his name from
his extreme youth. He was but p when
killed by Garrett, and tradition has it
that his touch ON the trigger sent twenty
two men to death before him. lie was a
small man and, it is said. had pleasant
manners and smiling face. But 1t is
recorded that he said he "killcd men just

dulged in a succession fights and murders.
Garrett was born in Alabama, and as z
young man went to the far west to grow
up with the country" finally settling in
New Mexico at Fort Sumner in 1873. Some
time later he was elected sheriff OF Lincoln
county and made reputation for himself
as a peace officer.
During the Lincoln county war, possibly
the worst and most desperate of those in
ternal struggles of the frontier, which was
the result OF factional strife over cattle,
the Kid was carrying on his career of
lawlessness. General Lew Wallace. at that
time governor OF the territory, desiring to
make some treaty with the young bad
man." sent word to him TO come to the
executive mansion at Santa Fe at mid
night and unarmed. promising him that he
should go as freely as he came. on his
arrival the Kid was shown into room
where he found the governor and several
armed men. Fearing treachery, the youth

renee.
Garrett was appointed collector of taxes
by Mr.. Roosevelt in 1901, the president hav-
ing been impressed with his ability and
trustworthiness, ard he held the office until
1906. In a trivial dispute over goats, the
man who did much for New Mexico met
his end at the hands of ]. Wayne Braze,
ranchman. The young slayer, on surren-
dering himself, claimed that Garrett
reached for his gun, and that he shot in
self-defence. which may be true
1t seems Inappropriate that Garrett
should have been shot. especially in these
peaceful times, yet had his wishes been
consulted he would doubtless have ex-
pressed the desire to die with his boots
on."-New York Evening Post.
