tons there are already fourteen men
in the field, from which it is equally
easy to pick good quartet and a
mighty bad one. The ambitious ones
are: Harry j. Aud, Frank F. Fernan-
dez, D. Kama and George Kaea, from
the Ninth Precinct; Charley Holoua,
Hon. Jas. Kalana and Eli Crawford,
from the Seventh; Hon. A, 8. Kaleiopu,

the Tenth; Hon. s. p. Correa, from the
Eleventh.; Charley Clark, Willie Craw.
ford, Charles Kanekoa and B. II. Kele'
kolio, from the Twelfth, and Captain
Nahora Hipa, from the Thirteenth.
1t is expected that the number from
the Twelfth will be cut down by half
before Saturday. A couple of the vel
low dogs having been canned. Willie
Crawford has had great light and has
about decided that perhaps after all
he really isn't wanted by decent men.
He may accordingly be scratched Off
the list. Charley Clark has also had
reason to suddenly alter his mind late
lily. In the first place he has recently
become related, through marriage, with
Jarrett, the Democrat nominee-prospec-
tive for Sheriff, and that helped, while
there was a great luau at the road
camp in Nuuanu yesterday. where
Clark lunas, and it is said that the
luau could be traced Link by Link
back into town. 1t was said very
broadly on the street yesterday that
Clark had sold out, but that is a coarse
way to put it. Besides the luau was
good one and no expense was spared,
while possibly there was something left
over for some of the other road build
ers in the valley.
Few supervisorial Candidates.
There is a great coyness among those
who would be supervisors, so far In
the Fifth the only ones who have come
into the open are George Wright and
Paikuli and the Fourth has only Jim
Quinn in the publicity columns. This
shyness is distressing Chairman Atkin.

Democratic Convention.
A call was issued yesterday for the
Democratic county convention TO meet
in Waverley Hall on the morning
of Wednesday next at ten o'clock, the
call also notifying the delegates of
caucus of all delegates which will be
held in the same hall on Tuesday even

ed for the Treasurership, another very
strong possibility. This is Harry Won
Holt, the chairman of the Republican
by the party leaders to run either for
Treasurer or for the Senate and it is
supposed that he would accept either
nomination. He is the type of candi-

House or Senate. --~
1t is stated that three of the former
Representatives are looking for SEN
atorial nominations this time, Quinn
Hughes and Kaleiopu. Each made a
good record in the House in the last
session, and the first and last named
in the House of the previous term, but
the desire of all to go into the Upper
Chamber is regarded with more or less
alarm 1t is thought that two or all
of them should reenter the House,
where experienced men will be needed
They cannot all be spared, especially
in view of the fear that Hawaii will

be headed by Kaniho and follow in his
webbing footsteps. Holstein will prob
certain quantities, while there will
probably be majority of new members
from Kauai. That island last session
had a good delegation and it is hoped
that at least Rice and Coney will DE
sent again, but this is also uncertain.
At any rate Oahu cannot afford to
have all its best men stand out or go
into the Senate.
The County Committee.
Strong hopes are being expressed
that the county committee will be
cleaned up as thoroughly and as salts.
factorily as the Central Committee has
been and the prospects are bright. 1t
has been suggested that the following
slate be brought up in the convention,
with the prospect of passing it as the
officers. The slate is: r. w. Single,
chairman; q. f. Chillingworth, vice
chairman; Clarence Cooke, treasurer,
and Eli Crawford, secretary. No ex.
ception can be taken to any of those
named for the various positions.
Convention Chairman.
A whisper, which originated in the
Achi camp, has been waited around
that George Nawaaltoa, of Waipahu,
should be named as temporary chair,
man Of the convention when it assem-
bies on Saturday with the hope that
the appointment might be made per-

Unexpectedly for the greater delectation
of his guests-it was observed by his at
tendantS and those most closely connecieu
with him that he contented himself Win
one special dish, and with only this kind
for a number of days in succession
Finally he would tire of what had cost the
ingenuity and skill of many famous chets.
and then his devoted subjects would be
hard put to it to find still more appe-
thing dainty.
1t happened on a summer evening in the
tenth year Of his reign that Prince Ponto
found himself entirely without desire for
gales tongues. fricassed with canary
wings and served on the plumage or
humming birds. held no delights. A
creamy strip of rose leaves and crushed
pearls. sprinkled with diamond dust. was
pushed aside with scarcely a glance.
Alas. what to do?'' his distressed peo-
pie asked of each other. How can we
arouse Prince Ponto from his apathy and
make him smile upon us again"
Committees were formed to discuss the
matter; fortune tellers and wizards were
called upon for aid In the great difficulty.
Suggestions and advice. came In plenty,
but proved to be worthless.
What TO do The question became the
burning topic of conversation. AS they
pondered and their perpleXity increased,
little maid suddenly appeared among
them.
Let me help YOU she said.
Loud laughter greeted her request. but
some of the wise men stilled the tumult
and babe her speak on.
How little maid, can you be of any
assistance here?" they asked
Just let me go into one of the big
Kitchens" she said, land I will show

Not knowing what else to do, they
agreed. and the child. followed by crowd
of worthless, made her way to where, in

Into a large dish she crumbled herbs of

dash of sailed mustard. Enough sulphur
this the little maid placed in a fiuted
pan and set in the oven to bake. At the
end of half an hour a heavy, almost suf-
locating aroma filled the nostrls of the
waiting throng, and the cake was pro-
nOunced done.
1t was eagerly taken from the oven
and every one bent forward for a look.
Alas. what a disappointment to the cour-

will take the blame.
"Assuredly," answered the chamberlain.
What say you. my lords
The child is not without reason. said
they. AT least let US try the effect Of
her cooking upon Prince Ponto.
Then haste We TO the royal presence.
and forthwith the entire body of courtiers,
headed by the little maid bearing her cake
proudly aloft, turned toward the royal
apartments.
Sitting deiectedly upon his throne was

note of the dancing girls bending and
pirouetting before him. Even the en-
trance of the courtiers had no power TO

chamberlain. prostrating himself.
I'VE want you to tas,e this cake" cried
the little maid fearlessly. CONSERVATION
overspread the faces of the assemblage
at this bold act. but the merry voice
caught the attention OF the prince. He
raised his head slowly and looked at the
speaker Clad in n frOck of blue, her
bronze curls shining in the sunlight. and
her two great eyes laughing at him over
an oval cake. the little maid broke down
the barriers to his heart. He didn't wish

of foo was distasteruI; but lie had
sudden and unquenchable desire to please
the dainty newcomer.

murmured.
We forgot TO bring knife, said the
child. but I'll break you off a piece.
From her small fingers the prince ac-
cepted the proffered portion. while the
bewildered courtiers, outraged at such
breach of etiquette. stared dumfounded.
The prince examined the Odd-lookine
morsel curiously and then took a mouth
full In an instant his face was puck
cred into a thousand wrinkles: he gasped
and choked, and his eyes seemed popping
from his head.
He is dying walled the courtiers.
He is no such thing, contradiCted the
child; he is simply working up an. APP
petite.
Scarcely had she uttered these words
when the prince stood upright: all the
authority of his old manner returned.

food-anything. everything don't care
what. SO long as il makes me forget the
taste of that"-he pointed To the cake.
The courtiers fell over each other in their
efforts to reach the kitchen, while the lit
tie maid smiled upon them all. Meats OF
every description were heaped about the
prince. and he tasted Of them all-tasted
until even the little maid wondered.

Sir William
and HIS Franks


@IR WILLIAM is my cat, and though
I am sorry TO have to say SO, 1
- must confess that he is a very
naughty cat indeed. In the first place. he
bites. He doesn't try to scratch you
when he is displeased with you-he SIM
ply and unexpectedly bites. His second
great fault is that he runs away every
week or so and gets lost, and when We
have quite given him up and despaired OF
seeing him he strolls serenely into the
house again But his third fault is the
worst Whenever he finds any provisions
on top OF the refrigerator or on the kitch-
en- table he steals them and climbs away
I'D somewhere out of reach and has
picnic all by himself.
One of the worst instances OF his bad
behavior occurred only last Friday. He
began by biting me and then fled away
over the fences to the Jones house and
sauntered into the kitchen just as the
cook was getting a large fish ready
for dinner William saw the fish and
sprang upon the table to seize it. but
the cook was too quick for him and
chased him off with Il broom.
Upstairs ran William, pursued by the
Indignant cook At the head of the stairs
he met Duke cocker spaniel. and,
lodging him. dashed into the dining room,
where Mr. and Mrs. Jones Were at din
ner, and hid under the sdahOard, Duke
flew after him and stuck his nose under
the sideboard. yelling and snutting ex-
citedy.

getting his cane from the hall. So he
poked at William under the sideboaTG
and-broke his cane. He was annoyed.

he cried TO Mrs. Jones, while I move

teresting to look at than just mud
And so it moved "A little hit nearer the
founders nose. and ii moved a little bit
nearer still, and then ii began TO see n
little light. So il moved and il moved
till it moved over his nose and right
around on the other side Of his face. And
then he had two eyes on the same side.
All this time the skin of the founders
down side got paler because II was al
ways in the dark. and the skin of the
founders up side got browner and brown
er till 1t looked just like the mud so that
no hungry fishes noticed the little founder
and he had a chance to grow big and
strong.
But because he had spent so much OF
his time in bed he forgot how to swim
about very well. and could only just shove
along the bottom of the ocean.
And the moral of this is not that If YOU
stay in bed and are lazy your eyes Will
both come on the same side of your face
and you'll get brown on one side and
white on the other. but that if you don't
do the things you can do because you
don't want to. after a while when you DO
want to you won't be able 10 do them at

and let him pass.

Jones, the cook and the broom all at

into the room, but when they got there

bureau, the children even woke up and
helped hunt After while they found
him outside the window. on the WIN

Jones to the cook. as he caught Will
liam and carried him down to the back
yard. There" he said to the assem-
bled company when he came upstairs
again. Il think that cat has caused
trouble enough for one day. I guess
he won't come back here again in
hurry
But he was wrong. for while they were
all upstairs William went back to the
kitchen and stole the fish.

But though little great gra ndmother had

there we're no stamps in those days Later
