Few of the younger generation rea-
lie that it was not until after the civil
war that a transcontinental railroad
was built, and it became possible to go
by rail from New York to San Fran
cisco. Previously the journey was diff
ficult, but not quite so long or so haz-
ardous as that which a German lieu
tenant is making by automobile from
Dar-es-Salaam in German East Africa
TO Swakopmunde in German Southwest
Africa. He started in August. 1907, and
in December of last year had reached
johannesburg.

Success at Last.

Jack London finds Australian good

San Franciscan. Il met him in Mel

bushel Of local stories and sketches.
He told me a story of an actor who
had just returned from a long tour
inland. This actor said of his tour:

Renewing the Edqe of skirts.

In buying a new petticoat it is al
ways wiser to get one several inches
too long. Run in one or two tucks
just above the flounce, and when the
edge is worn it can be cut on, re-
hemmed, and the tucks let out, and
the skirt takes on a new lease of life.
Do not leave the drawstring in the
top of the petticoat. This means
certain ridge at the waist line. The
top should be cut off, darted to fit, put
into a narrow band and fastened with
a hook and eye or button.

A TRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO.
TNenty-Tour Carloads Purchases fos
Lewis Single Binder Cigar
Factory.

What is probably the biggest lot of
factory in the United States has just
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads, and is Sc
lected from what is considered by ex-
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
Lewis Single Binder Cigars will appre-
ciate this tobacco.

It is related of a South American
general, who was extremely well
pleased with himself, that once, when
about to sally forth to a grand dance,
he surveyed himself contentedly in the
mirror, and then soliloquized thus:

wealth, position, good looks. All, what
dost thou lack?"

Sheep Eat Poisonous PIants.-An

Sheep Eat Poisonous PlantS.-An i'm
preston prevails quite generally that
sheep and other animals have an in
Stinct that tells them what plants are
good for food and what plants are not
Again and again have we heard this
so-called fact referred to as showing
the subtle character of the thing we
call instinct. 1t is true, on the con-,
trary, that animals frequently eat poi
son plants and die from the effects of
the same. Sheep especially, while
eating a wide variety of plants with
impunity, also eat many kinds that
are fatal to them. The herdsmen on
the western plains know this and have
to be on the lookout for the presence
of poisonous weeds. Not long ago we
heard of flock of $500 sheep that
had eaten so much loco weed that all
of them were affected with the pc
culiar symptoms that accompany loco
poisoning. Several hundred of the
sheep died before they could be put
onto feed of alfalfa and other things
to act as an antidote. 1t is we'll to
know what kind of plants are growing
in the sheep pastures, says Farmers
Review. Sheep are more likely to be
poisoned with certain plants than 9th
other animals because they eat the
weeds when other farm animals would
not. Mysterious deaths among sheep
are frequently caused by poisonous
things eaten, and this is more likely
! to occur in the wild pastures than in
the pastures that have become part
of the rotation of the farm, because
the latter contain few weeds.

as hundreds were turned away disap-

unusual interest that has been worked
up for the occasion.
Tonight, in addition to other attrac-
tions, the rink band will be augmented

band so that at least thirty musicians

There will be an act in the program
at the Opera House this afternoon es-

played it, great satisfaction has re-

been especially engaged for the pro-
auctions here, viii dance twice, and
there will be a change in the motion

Torrance will be unusually good, and
the house should be well filed. For
tonight there will be a monster pro-
gram i'll which dances and songs will
predominant. The public can not get
enough dancing from the members of
this company, and there was some dis
appointment on Thursday night at the
lack of it. Realizing this, Mr.. Arm
strong has injected into the program
for tonight a lot of new songs and
dances. The program should be a
good one. for Tom is painstaking and
conscientious, and when failure bumps
him he feels it. There will be no
failure at the performances this after
noon and tonight. The graceful Miss

BOXING MATCH
AT ALOHA PARK

The Reilly-Cullen meeting will take
place at Aloha Park and the park will
be canvased over to protect spectators
from the weather in case it should rain
This decision was arrived at by i'm
presario Jack Scully yesterday after
noon, when he found that the Orpheum
would be booked for next Saturday
night.
Everybody knows where Aloha Park
is, or they ought to know. 1t is direct
ly opposite the end of Bethel street
on Hotel and there is just about enough
chair space in it to accommodate good
sized fight crowd. The place will be
covered with canvas and this will pre-
vent raindrops from disturbing the
the ring in millions.
Sam Hop and young Terry worked
out with Cullen yesterday afternoon
There was the usual large crowd tC
watch him work and the local sports
are gradually beginning to wake up tc
the fact that Dick Cullen has a great
deal of class with him.
Sam Hop was treated gently by the
clever lightweight and did not have hi:
tuskers placed in the rear of his
oesophagus. Terry worked as hard and
religiously as ever and kept Cullen go
ing all the time. The visitor will GER
tainly make a good showing when he
loosens up against Reilly. He has g
big following of fans who think that
he will cop the decision. or even hand
the curtain dope to Reilly.

NO BOER MEN
WERE THERE

There was meeting of the Oahu
league last night, but there was no
quorum. The Beers were not represent
ed. They have not been represented
for several meetings. What is the mat
ter?
Eddie Fernandez is the manager of
the Kalihi team. He did not turn up
last night and has not turned up for
several meetings, also he sent no repre-
sentative with a proxy.
The other three teams were properly
represented, the c. A. Cs, the J. A.
Cs., and the Marines. A. K Vierra
was there as manager and Tony Mar
callino as vice president.
There not being a quorum, no bust
ness could be transacted, but the at
mosphere of the room was heavy with
a large sized peev against the Beers
who do not send a man to the meet
ings:
When an Advertiser reporter butted
in and asked if there were a movement
on foot to bust the league, everybody
shook their head and looked like soak
ing. somebody.
Nevertheless, there will be one grand
game at the Athletic Park tomorrow.
The Japs and Marines will both be
there with blood in their eye. Not
eyes, but eye. Each team looks through
one portfolio and that is the one to
leeward where the winning flag flies.
Those present at the meeting last
night stated that they were not by
any means in sympathy with move
ment to keep up the league. No reason
why they should be. Mr.. Marcallino,
Mr.. Vierra and others present, stated
that they are entirely satisfied and
want nothing but good baseball. No
