swamped him completely and the re-
suit has been a merry mix-up in the
ticket Office.
Persons would order tickets and then
delay getting them till the very last
moment, sometimes not calling for
them at all. The result may be imagin-
ed when it is stated that there were
1900 applications for seats for Floro-
dora tonight when the reserved capa-
city of the theater is only $50.
One of the things that worried Joe
was to have fellow order tickets by
phone and then to drop in at the
theater some time before the show for
which they furnished admission and
ask for the pasteboards.
Cohen would laboriously sort them
out from a stack of several hundreds
and the individual would remark,
Please keep them, just wanted to
see if they We're all right"
Then Joe would remark, "Oh pshaw,"
or words to that effect.
Sometimes when the man who want
ed to see how his tickets were getting
along was exchanging compliments
with Cohen, let him be called Jones,
some evil disposed fellow would sneak
name of the owner of the tickets.
A little later on he would put in an
appearance at the box office and ask
for Jones tickets and if he got them
there was large trouble in store for
Cohen when the legitimate Jones made
another visit.
The numerous disappointments caus-
ed a report to get abroad that Joel
was specializing in tickets and this
made the genial manager good and
mad
"Show me the man who dares make
such an assertion" asked Joel, several
times a day. "I'll give $500 to anyone
who can prove that I have speculated
with a ticket since the show started
Yesterday Cohen got the opportunity
he had been longing for. In the fore
noon a local collector on being unable
to locate his tickets told Joel that he
had sold them and that he ought to be
ashamed of himself.
Cohen got mad, rushed out of the
Office and after calling the collector
several things which it would be un-
lawful to print commenced to choke
him.
LET me go, for the love of heaven"
interceded the bill collector, I'm an
old, old man"
Thus adjured, Cohen tempered mercy
with justice and the man was allowed
to depart in peace instead of in pieces.
Later on he tried to have him arrested
but was informed that there is no law
against verbal defamation of charac-
ter.
A spell later in the day man told
Joe, who couldn't find his tickets, that
he had five dollars TO bet that they
Were in the box, all right.
Then Cohen got hot again and Selling

SOME FINE RESPONSES
5. To GAZETTE COMPANY'S
PROMOTION WORK.
The following is an editorial in the
Hartford (Cenn.) Times. 1t is headed,
AN Opportunity for Americans:

The following is an editorial in the
Hartford Comm Times. 1t is headed,
IAN Opportunity for Americans:
There has been received at the Hart
ford Public Library a beautifully-iI-
Illustrated publication, called "Pictur-
esque Honolulu" issued by the Hawaii
Promotion Committee and furnished
by. the Hawaiian Gazette.
Go and look at it's pictures. If you
can not visit the place itself, that is
the next best thing to do; and it may
lead you to make the visit. The
cover of the publication gives a look
at the Honolulu of 1907 on one side, a
built-up city with trolley cars, paved
streets and fine buildings, and on the
other side a look at the Honolulu of
1907, few native huts. Back of both
rise the magnificent mountains with
their rich tropical growths.
So much in the first hundred years
of progress. Before the second hun
dred have gone by, it will not be nee
essary to advise travellers to go there;
it win be the thing to do. There is no
other journey open to Americans that
compares with it. The sail from San
Francisco is only about as long as
that from New York to Europe, and,
in order to sail, those of us who live
in this part of the country have to
take first the eye-opening journey
across the Continent. That is one
reason for the Whole trip. However
one goes, whether by the Canadian
Pacific. the finest railroad trip north
of Mexico, or by any of our United
States roads, the scenery all the way
is of perpetual interest.
The Pacific voyage over blue waters
and amid soft breezes is a delight, and
Honolulu is as unique and picturesque
a place as can be found anywhere. It
is set among wonderful mountains,
with the splendid ocean rolling in at
its feet. 1t has a climate that makes
how pineapples and other tropical
fruits taste until he has been there,

Our 1903 Easter Cards

We are now displaying one of the
handsomest lines of Easter Cards this
season that has ever been offered to
the trade. These are cut out crosses
in a variety of shapes, decorated with
spring flowers, angels, and illuminated
texts. The folders are shown in many
styles, exquisitely colored and design
ed. One of the daintiest is a series OF
ten designs with delicate green bor-
ders and green palm leaf cross with a
few flowers in the center. The in
scription inside is printed in colors and
gold.
Among the novelties there are cut
out rabbits that have moving eyes,
and also large hen sitting on a bas-
ket with holes in 1t, behind which Is
a moving card showing chickens peep
ing out through the holes. Among the
cunningest cards for the children are
little cut out chicks all dressed in their
Easter finery.
Out of town customers would do well
to order early.

and Toasted on them. Everything is
different and everything enjoyable.
There are excellent hotels and a CIV
ilization equal to any other. 1t is
said that Honolulu has among it's
white inhabitants a larger ratio of
college men than any other city-and
hospitality is it's motto.
All this novelty is there available to
all travellers, and yet ninety-nine out
of every hundred who plan a voyage
start for Europe. They'll know bet
ter, or their successors will. AS fine
ships, the great liners of the Pacific
Mail Company, go to Honolulu as to
London. It's an opportunity lost for
whoever can go there and doesn't go.

Six streams of water have been
pouring on the coal in shed No at
the Naval Station since Wednesday
night at o'clock The fire which had
been burning then for two days sud
denly. broke out in flame and seemed
to spread 10 all parts of the shed.
Four of the streams were from two
fire engines stationed on one of the
naval wharves and pumping the water
out Of the slip, and the other two
We're from the naval water boat, which
is equipped with pumps and supplied
with hose. This is said to be the first
opportunity these pumps have had to
do service Of this kind at this station.
The Iroquois is due this morning.
She is equipped with pumps more pow
ehul even than those of the fire en-
gines. If there is still need of it. she
will be put to work pouring water on
the piles of coal within which the fire
is burning.
The fire is as yet confined to shed
No. 3. In this there is stored about
l2,0Oo tons of coal. The fire I'D to
Wednesday night seemed to be chiefly
in the Waikiki end of the shed. But
Wednesday night and yesterday it
seemed to be in several places in the
shed, and the shed floor was burned
through in several places. For a. time
there was blaze visible but the
streams of water quickly checked this.
AT times there were great volumes Of
smoke.
Admiral Very had thirty-ffve carts
at work removing the coal yesterday.
He is storing it on a vacant lot not
a great way from the Judiciary build
ing. He expects to remove the en-
tire contents of shed No. g. He will
give no estimate as to the amount of
coal burned or destroyed, but it is
probable that it will not be a great
deal. Perhaps a couple of hundred
tons may be burned or ruined by the
heat and fire. The waste from the
deluge of water poured on 1t and from
the necessity of moving so large a
quantity may also be a few tons. The
damage to the sheds will be some |
thing, but how much can not now be |
estimated.
The fire attracted a good deal of
attention, and many people went down
to see it. On account of the neces-
sity of carrying the hose across the
street from the naval slip to the coal
shed, the street cars ran only as far
as the main entrance on the Ala Mo-
ana side of the Naval Station
When the blaze broke out Wednes-
day night. the gate which connects
the city water system with the Naval
Station system of pipes from it's own
artesian Wen, and a line of hose which
was already connected, were turn
ed on.

BY THEIR FRUITS.

Co-Operator:
We judge tree by its fruits. Thu
is scriptural and therefore it is the
very essence of truth and good sense.
If man points out to you a peach or
an apple tree in your orchard and
tells you the tree is worthless; that
it will not bear good fruit nor much
CT a yield, but if year by year that
tree goes on budding and blooming in
season and at the right time bringing
forth rich, luscious peaches or mellow
delicious apples, as the case may be,
you will wisely judge the tree by its
fruits and not by what this man has
told you, or listen TO similar tales
from other people. In other words,
be just to the tree and judge it by
what it shows for itself, not by what
people say.

In the middle of a cotton field. Not
tree surrounded the house, not a bit
Of green grass. His mules lived in a
log howell, through which the winter
winds howled and they ate cottonseed
hulls for lack Of hay, and whatever
corn could be spared. John had some
scrub cattle out in the cane brakes all
winter, but not COW to give them
milk; and all winter and most of the
rest of the year the only vegetables
that appeared on their table were col
lards, field peas and sweet potatoes,
and their only bread was corn-dodgers
with fat Western bacon for grease.
John plowed all his land every year
for cotton, except little piece of bot
