DRAWING THE LINE.

I've had misfortunes in my day,
Some setbacks that were pretty mean
I've borne them nobly, may say,
Through all remaining quite serene.
The one thing that would make me
sore
Was when, concerning sone reverse,
A SNUG, consolatory bore
Would tell me that it might be worse
It's bad enough to fall and break
An arm or leg or have the grip;
It's tough, too, when they cook your
steak
AS dry and tasteless as a chip.
It's bad to bet and fail to win,
To lose your job or lose your purse;
But darn the chump who rubs it in
And tells you that it might be worse!
When some hard blow by fate is struck
Just gIe me leave to think it bad,
That I've the meanest kind of luck
That ever any fellow had.
Grant me that boon, I'll stand no end;
You'll never hear me rave or curse
Except when some fat-headed friend
Informs me that it might be worse.

STREET
CASE FAR OFF
ITS CHANCE OF BEING HEARD STATES
APPEARS NDEED-THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL RECEIVES THE ENABLE HIM
A BRIEF.
TO PREPARE A BRIEF.

1t may be stated almost certainly
that there will be no decision on the
Liliha street case from the United
States Supreme Court for over a year.
An attempt will be made to bring the
case up in the October term of court
by having it advanced on the calendar
but since this will be opposed by At
torney General Hemenway it is doubt
full if it will be done.
The record from the Supreme Court
only reached this city by the last mail,
and in the two weeks which remain
it would be absolutely impossible for
the Attorney General to prepare his
brief for submission to the court. His
time will be taken up with the many
other cases which are now pending and
which are all of great importance to
the Territory.
The poor chance which the Liliha
street case has of being heard this year
is shown by the case of the Territory
against Cotton Bros. This case was
No. 159 on the 1907 calendar and has
never been heard yet being placed on
the 1908 calendar as No Z. When it
is seen that the Liliha street case is
No. 412 on the 1908 calendar it looks

the wharves were black with people
and the men OF the men-of-war were
lined along their vessels's sides, ready
to give tongue and urge their favor
ties to victory.
The start was good. The West Vir-
ginia cutter had the Eva track, while
the boat of the South Dakota took the
Waikiki side of the course. AS soon
as the signal had been given the oars
of the two racers bent to the water
like willow-wands and the graceful
galleys shot ahead like deers sudden
startled at the bay of hounds.
Then broke pandemonium: The cru
User South Dakota, outside the harbor,
officers and men straining eyes to see
the advantage of the start, turned on
her syren and barked most bolster
ously for her children, calling them to
her with the vim of a great living
thing. And maybe her terrific talk
didn't help put ginger into every
stroke of an oar!
Launches swung into a broad line
after the cutters and followed them
out, turning to be close behind them
at the finish.
Hundreds of men-of-warsmen in
boats lined up on either side of the
course. Men swarme1 over on the
seawall. The decks of the California
were crowded. at the channel wharf
ficers and men, alike enthusiastic,
watched from all the cruisers and des-
troyers, from the supplyship and the
GOLFERS. Crews of foreign and Ameri-
can merchantmen in port took to the
rigging to see all that was going on.
Semaphores were kept going from
ship to ship, each telling the other
the progress of the contest. Rear ad-
mirals and commanders and captains
and everybody could get hold of a

Bow and bow, neck and neck, length

splendid sight! A sight that made ev-

interested notice. Had they been-rac-

The esprit de corps of the "Armored
Cruiser Squadron" is something inter
esting. They feel to certain extent
that the battleships have been getting
a little too much praise and that the
cruisers, which are longer, faster and
much handsomer should be given more
show and the way these chaps hold to-
gether is certainly fine. The victory
of the Maryland, in the heavy gun tar
get contest which placed her at the
head of the list for both battleships
and cruisers, was victory for every
ship of her class and there is no jea-
lousy from her sister ships.
The following song, showing this
spirit, is one which has been written
for the Pacific fleet and which all on

Early risers were this morning treat
ed to one of the most exciting events
this harbor has ever witnessed. The
cutter crews of the cruisers West Vir-
ginia and South Dakota raced from a
line in the harbor near the Healani
boat house to the South Dakota, lying
outside the harbor, and back, covering
a course of three miles, the South Da-
kota winning by several lengths and
thousands observing the great event,

cruisers and destroyers in port ano

They talk about the scores they make
And of the records they will break,
But when the practice comes around
The battleships cannot be found.
We're the boys can shoot six inch,
We can do anything in a pinch,
Gee-but the battleships are a cinch
For the Armored Cruiser Squadron.
The cruiser fleet is, hard toSbeat,
And any old battleship's easy meat, e.
You have to go some if you win a heat
From the Armored Cruiser Squadron.
The Washington and Tennessee,
The finest ships upon the sea,
They came around the Horn to join

The battleships so fine and neat
Came round the Horn filled with con-
ceit,
For they didn't know they'd have to
meet
The Armored Cruiser Squadron.

We are the best, the very best,
And when our mud-hook hits the
ground,
We go ashore and raise the town.

as if it had very small chance Of being
heard. Attorney General Hemenway
says that if the court instructs him to
go ahead with the case, of course he
will do So but he does not anticipate
any such action when the record was
only received here two weeks before
he will start for Washington.
There appears to be a general inn
preston amongst many of the attor-
neys of the city that IL would be far
better if there was some change made
which would give the focal Supreme
Court fuller jurisdiction and prevent
so many cases going to Washington.
Under the present law any case invol-
wing $4,000 may be appealed to Wash
ington. The suggestion is made that
it would be better if the local Supreme
Court should be increased to five mem
bers and made the final court Of ap-
peal in all cases except that in which
Federal questions are involved.
There are about fifteen cases from
Hawaii before the U. S. Supreme Court
at present and others will probably
be appealed in the near future. For
the population of this Territory the
number is very large indeed.

She's disconnected with her lot,

A life she's wanting that is not
So dull, domestic, dark and drear.
She cares not how the world may

To that. of course. she's quite re-
signed
Now that she sees her mission clear,
But then she's apt to change her
mind.
Such foolish notions she has got
To some at least they're rather queer
tell her that it's tommyrot;
I've ventured, too, to mildly jeer
She wants to go around and cheer
The sick and manned and halt and
blind
And wipe away the falling tear,
But then she's apt ia change her
mind.
She says she does not care a jot,
Unpleasant things she does not fear,
And she will gladly welcome what
A deprivation might appear
She thinks her end is drawing near
And that a few more months will
find
Us weeping sadly DER her bier,
But then she's apt to change her
