 Seth, who is ackustomed to meeting adventchures in many forms, was awful serprised for a infinite. He coffed and sputtered and tried to wipe the water outen his eyes, and soon as he could get his breth he asked his wife what she ment by them kind of acktions. As soon as Mrs. Dewberry could recover from laffing she told Seth it was a axident and that she let the dish water go before she knowed he was at the back door The more she laffed the madder Seth got, and then he began to talk sharp and sarckastick to her.

She would of kracked him agen, but Seth took to his heels and brot up at Hen Weathersby's store, where he remained the rest of the day.

, The Leading Paper of the County
Bright-Breezy---B Bellicose-Bustling

As we go to press this week, Bingville is sloppy, slushy mess. The rain which come a few days ago sinst on the snow which had already fell converted the main street of Bingville together with all leys and side streets which di- vefdge therefrom into one of the most turriblist conditshions of slush and water within the reckollect- shion of the oldest inhabitant of Bingville and then some.
 The present conditshion of our streets is a disgrase to Bingville siv- ilizatshion-it is a shameful re fiectshion on the already tarnished reputatshions of our town selleckt- men. What was our sellectrnen eleckted for. pray? What was they exalted to the highest positshions within the gift of Bingville voters for? Didn't they take their solem oaths to look after the best intrests of the town and to see that the street was kep in passable condit- shion? Have they. did it? No!- 1000 times mol They have spent this winter in hibernating as you mite say-they have set around the stove of Hen Weathersby's store and chewed and smoked and played checkers and swapped lies and offered suggestshions as to how this government ot to be run while hosses and humans was wal lering through snow in Bingville streets up to their chins.
 There aint ben a road broke out through the snow in the visinity of Bingville this hole winter and as a result We are what you might call iserlated from the outside world. Now to make matters worse, the rain has disended and the slush has came. Why you cant get accrost the street in Bingville less you have rubber boots cleen up to your thies without getting your feet wet and like as not ketching your deth by newmonia.
 Cy Hoskins says he reckons If a feller only had ferry boat to run up and down the main street and carry people accrost the street and back, they could make honest dol lar.
 Shame on the sellecktmen of this town anyhow-they ort to be kicked outen office-they aint no more good than so many wooden men and their highest mishion seems to be to obstruckt the progress of Bing- vile.

OUTR|GGER FETE
BRIGHT AFFAIR

With dancing, Teasing and merry
on Waikiki beach, the Outrigger Club
members and their legion of friends
ushered in the winter social season last
evening at a most successful entertain
ment The object for which the enter
tainment was given was literally con-
trbuted for by the host of guests and
the new houses desired by both the
Outrigger Club and the ladies auxiliary

assured prospect of the Outrigger vii
lage becoming one of the picturesque
features of Honolulu as well as a unique
home for the suffers and cancers.
At the entrance to the grounds on
Kalakaua avenue a large oriental Ian
tern lighted the way to a red and white
box-lantern pathway along the edge of
the lagoon opening out into the grounds,
also lantern-lit, where booths for the
sale Of various sweetmeats, coffee and
other refreshments were costly placed
under palm trees. Beyond, almost upon
the sandy beach, marquee eanopied
the tables set for the ehowder supper.
The chowder was delicious and like

MORGAN WANTS To
UNITE ORGANIZATIONS

J. F. Morgan, president of the
chamber of commerce, who is now alb
sent on the Coast, has conceived the
idea of combining the chamber of com
meree, the commercial club, the mer-
chants association and the promotion
committee into one organization. This
plan, in the absence of Mr.. Morgan,
was presented by Fred Maefarlane to
the board of governors of the CONNER
cial club at a meeting held yesterday,
but received no ardent support.
The suggestion was also made tenta-
lively at the meeting of the mer-
chants association yesterday after
noon, but provoked emily a smile.
Though there is possibility that the
plan will be seriously considered by
the various commercial organizations
concerned. it is fairly certain that it
will meet with strong opposition.

lanterns CLEAN
IN BIC PARADE
Sons of Nippon Give Brilliant
Ovation to Sailors on the
Cruiser Idzumo.

The spirit of japanese carnival was
abroad in the streets of Honolulu last
night, with a thousand lanterns CLEAN
ing and Fred Maxine walking at the
head of the parade that flowed down
Alakea street and the waterfront to
the japanese cruiser Idzumo.
The parade started about eight
clock with the sons and daughters of
Nippon flowing in all directions to-
wards it. Everybody had lanterns;
when they didn't have big ones, they
had little ones, and when they didn t
have little ones, they lit matches.
There were fully three or four thou
sand japanese in the immense throng
that massed up together and went
banzai-ing down to the channel wharf
Several wagons, each a mass of
lighted lanterns, were at the tail of
the procession, and those riding in
them let off occasional fireworks in
joyful exuberance which aIighted
harmlessly but invariably on someone s
head.
One immense balloon was formed out
Of rice paper. representing the Ameri-
can and japanese flags, and this, with
lantern in the form of a lighthouse,
both had wagons of their own.
The entire crowd massed up on the
channel wharf with the red lanterns
painting up the sides of the Mikado S
ship. Everybody howied and banzaled
in chorus and made much noise, and
Tasaka got out on a float and made
them make more noise. The lanterns
bobbed up and down and the process
sion moved off slowly. The men who
were banked in white banks on the
cruiser sides, at the sudden call OF a
bugle. swept into the national hymn OF
Japan. A crowd singing the ''Star
Spangled Banner sounds good, but 1t
does not give the effect given by three
hundred men roaring the primitive
music impulses of the japanese IN
their greatest song. Even two lonely
haoles who got mixed up in the crowd
and We're looked upon with displeasure
by the japanese crowd around them
took off their hats and gave a yell
when the song stopped echoing from
the ship and wharf
