NOT LIKE ROMANCE
THE "soLDlER OF FORTUNE" IN
REAL LIFE.
Differs In Many Material Respects
from the Heroes Who Figure So
Prominently In the Pages
of Novellsta.

Richard Harding Davis and other
writer's of lesser note have cast a
glamour over the title, Soldier of For
tune" which possibly applies to cer-
tain victims of wanderlust and love of
unusual adventure, but which is hor-
rible misfit to the only individual the
writer ever knew whose many adven-
lures by field and flood, and beneath
a halfdozen flags, properly placed him
in the class of Capt. Macklin, Red
Saunders and others known to readers
of fiction says a writer in the Atchi-
son Globe. Sam Chalmers was the
name our soldier of fortune gave to
those who asked1 Incidentally, he
was the homeliest man we ever met
large, slouching, loose-jointed crea-
ture, who looked half man and half
gorilla. His feet and hands were too
large for his big body and he handled
both as If they were something of a
burden. He was dish-faced, had bleary
eyes and the complexion of tan shoe
after you have worn 1t through dewy
grass.
Chalmers was always dirty and
usually drunk-a man without wis.,
ible redeeming personal feature and
little mental attraction. But he had
accomplishments; he knew enough of
the sea to make 1t carry him where he
would, and, perhaps, something more.
He could speak several languages and
a half-dozen native dialects, including
that of New York's East side (the
hardest to understand), where he
claimed to have originated at some In
definite date in the past. He seemed
to have a knowledge of all the ports
of all the seven seas and could, when
he would, tell interesting tales Of
fighting Zulus in South Africa, bush
men in Australia, pirates off the China
coast and several other strange and
unpleasant creatures in other outland-
ish places.
Americans found him in an isolated
Filipino stronghold on the island of
Leyte, and he said he had been taken
prisoner when he came ashore from
a hemp ship. The natives said he had
been a captain of the insurgent army,
and perhaps he had, although he de-
MED 1t for obvious reasons. At any
rate, he wasn't an officer with them
for patriotism or love, for he turned
American scout and fought them with
a lust for blood amounting to savagery.
He was brave, as the bulldog is-be-
cause 1t knows no better-which
seemed to be his only trait in common
with the other soldiers of fortune OF
whom we have read.
Later we met him as second mate
on a wind jammer at Nagasaki. The
sea was home to Chalmers and he only
quit it occasionally to find fight and
a more convenient place to get drunk.
Had Chalmers turned to the land in
stead of the sea in his earlier years
he would have ended as only a COM
mon tramp AS 1t was, he is tramp,
but of a more uncommon kind. 1t is
the tramp instinct which makes
soldiers of fortune, although,
perhaps, some of them, more fortu-
nate, do wear immaculate white duck
suits and pith helmets. But the only
one we ever met was not very CLASSY"
and he kind of shook our faith in Capt
Macklin.

Police ACCUSED Of
Witness TAMPERING
Peculiar Development Of
Mauna Kea Street
Case

To have both the defense and the
prosecution in criminal case SUE
pect the police of tampering with
witnesses is most unusual; yet this
! is what happened In the Police Court
this morning In the cases of All
Duck, Lee Sha. and All Tai, charged
with conducting a gambling game.
These men were arrested as an af-
termath Of the famous Maunakea
street raid. which was made under
! the direction of Joe 1cal. and which
has caused much intrigue and jeal-
ousy in the police station ever since.
II appeared this morning that the
prosecution had two sets of witness
es. those supplied by the police, and
those whom the County Attorney had
secured from Apana. who assisted
Leal In the raid.
The police witnesses were placed
on the stand first. and they all fell
down In a conspicuous manner. They
claimed that they had seen either
one or none OF the defendants I'M the

witnesses blandly.

for the defendants, intimated that

MIDNIGHT BURGLAR

ed While Asleep In
Her House

Another case where burglar
made an assault on his intended vic
tim took place yesterday morning at
about 2 O'Clock, when Nine. Lambert,
n dressmaker living in a cottage on
Richards street, was assaulted by a
burglar.
Nine. Lambert had noticed befors
retiring that the hook which was
used to fasten her door had been
bent, and after trying in vain to un-
bend 1t, she retired without locking
the door. She was awakened by be-
Ing chOked by the hand Of a stran.
ger. and a voice saying: shut up"
Nine. Lambert struggled and man
aged to get into the middle Of the
room. when he suddenly broke away
and escaped through window.
Nine. Lambert still bears the
marks of the fingers on her throat.
She could not see her assailant plain
ly. but knows that he wore light
trousers and Jacket like a jumper.
She believes that the burglar had
bent the hook on the door earlier In
the evening in order to make his en-.
trance more easy, and also calls at.
tention to the fact that a man in a
military uniform had been lettering
about the place last Monday. The
light on the veranda had been turn

. Nine. Lambert reported the facts
of the case to the police, but Chief
,Kalakiela states that as there are no
clues, beyond a few footprints, the
case does not seem a promising one.

STREET SHRINKING
Amount For Properly Owners to
 Pay N0i Yef Determined.

There Is some misunderstanding in the public mind regarding the sprink- ling ordinance which requires that such streets as are to be sprinkled be reported to the board of aldermen in the month of December in each year. The expense to the abutting property owners has not yet been determined, but in other places it amounts any where from four to six cents per front foot for the season. Residents In diff ferent streets didn't understand this and as a consequence they are blinded with dust, but it is hard to see what can be done to help them except the whole of them get together and waive all claim to the usual mode of pro cedure and agree to pay for the ser vice. One or two parties have already taken steps in that direction and it is likely that others will want to follow. Next year there will be more sprink- ling for everybody appears to want it. East Main street residents complain about the dust and say the sprinkler isn't giving satisfaction.
