CLOSE SHOWING
IN kauai CONTEST
Blake Is to the Good at Pres
ent, but the Recount Is
Not Over.

The Supreme Court took up the Ka-
uai contested election in the afternoon
yesterday. In this the petitioner is the
candidate himself who claims the cleo
ton, so that the same questions do not
arise in this that arose in the mayor
atty contest. The returns showed the
election of George Baker the Repub-
lican candidate for County Auditor by
nine votes. Blake, the Democratic can
didate, claimed that in the Lihue pre-
cinct five votes cast for him had not
been counted for him and that five
more had been counted for Baker than
were east for him. The court decided
that prima~ facie showing had been
made and the ballots and returns for
that precinct were produced by County
Clerk Kaneakua. An inspection of the
tally sheet showed that there had been
an error in the additions and that
Baker had been credited with 104 votes
when the tally sheet showed he had re-
ceived only ninety-nine, and that Blake
had been given only sixty-eight when
he should have been given seventy |
three. If the matter went n0\farther |
this would unseat Baker and seat |
Blake.
The ballots and returns for the XII |
lauea precinct were then taken up. The |
tally sheet showed the same as the of |
fetal returns, but the examination of |
the ballots themselves has not been
Baker also has objections
to make to some of the ballots counted .
for Blake in the Lihue precinct. SO
hat until the completion of the re.
count it cannot be known who has won,
,hough at the present, the contestants,
Blake is to the good.

WILSON MINER To
co INTO LITERATURE

Wilson Miner, scion of we'll
known San Francisco family, who
gained notoriety by his sensational
marriage and subsequent divorce from
Mrs. Mary Adelaide Yerkes, widow of
Charles T. Yerkes, the Chicago trae-
ton magnate, has broken into litera-
ture. Golfers Weekly announces that
story by Miner, entitled ''Three
Saved, >" will appear in its issue of De-
cember %.
The story will deal with life in
Alaska, and its principal character is
a crook named "Gimme Ed Miner
spent some time in Nome, when the
Boring Sea mining camp was famous
for its dance halls and gambling dens,
as well as its gold.
1t was in Nome that the memorable
conflict occurred between Rex Beach,
author of "The Spoilers, and MiZ-
ner. The battle was over a woman, as
that was the only thing, except a
placer claim, which was a proper cause
of dispute among gentlemen. No blood
was shed in the conflict. but it led 10
a feud between the two, which has
lasted to this day.
Beach came back from Alaska and
gained fame and riches with his
stories of the North. Miner also
went to New York and sprang into the
limelight by his marriage to the
wealthy Mrs. Yerkes a month after the
death of her husband. He also at
tracted considerable attention in San
Francisco by appearing on Fillmore
street in the gay days after the fire
dressed in symphonies in lavender.

who wore an ordinary business suit 1T

in Washington yeu can't do business
without one. I tried going around these

Gods Love illustrated.
BY the Rev. Adam Reoch

It is astonishing how long it takes
us to grasp and believe in some Of the
oft-repeated statements in God's S
word. We may pride ourselves on
the power of our intellect and the
thoroughness of our training, and
with it all we may, for a score CT
years, blunder past-the mcst comfort
ing truth.
Take, for example, the text, IF ye,
then being evil, know how to give
good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your heavenly Faith
er give the Holy Spirit to them that
ask Him." The truth and blessed
ness of that text came home to me in
a most forcible way quite lately. Dur
ing weeks of trouble and darkness
faith had stumbled along, seeing not
ray of light The awful words of
Christ, my God, My God, why hast
Thou forsaken Me?'' seemed the only
words in Scripture that suited my
case. It was not the experience of a
moment, but of weeks, and long con-
tinued, growing out of the severest
loss one can be called upon to un-
dergo.
The light came in this way: My
little boy had become much inter
ested in the prevailing fad, the use
Of roller skates. He had come to me
repeatedly, just for money for new
pair. and then for more to repair and
improve, until it seemed that could
give him no more. One afternoon he
showed me the skates and pointed
out that the rear wheels werc vel
| worn down. He did not ask me fo1
any money; perhaps he did not ex-
pect any, but he said i'll a soiiloqulz.
ing way, 81 can get a new pair Of
wheels for fifteen cents" I saw the
heart laid bare, the longing. the tim.
idity-my heart said, go ahead an5
get them I could not possibly keey
from finishing out his happiness, ano
it seemed privilege to do it. The1
| it seemed as if a voice OF reprool
came through my heart, as il ths
very words OF the text were uttered
IF yc then bring evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your chill
drer," etc.
Oh. how i. humb1ed me! had 2ctu
ally thought God to be less concerned
/, for me and my happiness than l wa:
| for that Of my own boy. In the lign
Of the warmth il my own heart fol
nv own boy, l saw: tae faint rehec
ton OF that mighty love OF God fo1
me, His child, and realized as never
| before that He will not withhold an!
gift that IS good, that He will not az
aught save what is for our very best
But how long it takes us to sea It
May He forgive us for our concait
our distrusts and our reDlnlnS:-
