is exciting great interest and large
crowd are going out to the Boys Field
on purpose to witness this event. It
will be for the undisputed championship
of the Territory and the issue should
be bitterly fought out by the first four
walkers named.
The management have added half
mile walk for amateurs and this is also
likely to be very exciting event with
Sullivan out of the way and half a
dozen walkers able to sprint half a
mile in about the same terms.

LAST PRACTISE
OF ALL-HAWAIIS

The All-Hawaii baseball team will
play game with the Marines at the
ball park this afternoon, commencing
at $3.50 o clock. This will probably be
the last game that the All-Hawaiis
will have before the advent of the
Reach team.
The Marines have strengthened their
nine very much since the reinforce
ments arrived and are now able to hold
their own with any of the local mines.
The AllHawaiis will lineup as follows:
Soares, catcher; Al. Castle and Reu-
ter, pitchers; George Bruins, first base;
James Williams and Miller, second base;
Hampton, short stop; Jno. Williams and
Bushnell, third base; Harry Bruins, left
field; U. Lemon and J. Kia, center field;
Will Desha, right field.
The dates of the games to be played
with the Reach aggregation of star
players are as follows: January 80 and
81, February 8, 6 and 7.
The visitors will arrive here next
Friday from the Orient by the s. S.
Mongolia and the first game will be
played the following day.
The program calls for four week end
games and one in the middle of the
week.
The admission scale will be as fol-
lows: General admission, Soc; seats
in the wings of the grandstand, 75c.;
reserved seats, $100.

MARATHON MAY
BE RUN HERE

Unless st. Clair Bidgood is heard
from very quickly it is probable that
the proposed Marathon race will be run
in Honolulu on the track at Kapiolani
park. This would be a splendid place
to pull off an event of this sort.
AS far as the prizes are concerned
a number of local merchants have ex
pressed their willingness to help the
race along by donating prizes.
There will be meeting of all inter
ested, in the roof garden of the Young
Hotel, some time next week.
Dial Fahey. the walker, intends to
train it TO Waia1ua next week and run
back, just to see how fast he can make
the course in. Ayres and Sullivan may
also walk over the course in a short
time for a record.
February y, the date of the Lincoln
Centennial, seems to be a popular date
on which to decide the proposed Mara
thon.

automobile you sold me yesterday
won't run. One of the cylinders is
cracked, the spark plug is badly con
nected, the steering gear is loose, one
wheel is wabbly, and-and'-
Hold on Il minute" the dealer inter
posed. Did l sell you a machine yes
terday?"
you certainly did"
"And you paid me for it?'
"Of course didr' was the emphatic
response.
"Then the machine belongs to you.
doesn't It"
"Why, to be sure it does"

I'd like to know how you expect to
soil it."-Lippincotts.

amusing Indictment runs, are now
transformed into laced ones with high
heels, her yarn stockings are turned
into the woolen ones with silk clocks,
and her high wooden pattens are kick
ed away for leathem clogs. She must
have Il hoop, too, rs well as her mis-
trcss. and her poor Hnsey woolsey pet
Iicuat is changed into a good silk one,

Why Tailors Sit CrossIeeged.

A tailor making dress coat sat
crosslegged ON table, like Turk
"Why do taiIors always wur,s in that
uncomfortable puni.iJn:' asked Wis
itOr.
"Womcn'S tailorS don't. Only mems
do" was the reply And for mems
taiors it is the most comfortable and
the most convenient position possible
You see. the sewing Oh mems clothes
is very fine The worl. must he held
w close to the eyes. Wen. in this
position lean the work on my elevut-
cd knees, and thus it Is nearer my
eyes, While ut the same time my back
remains straight. An%l .uG, the post
ton is fine one. 1t keeps the back
straight and the cEes, CIT. the knees
make Il table close up to the face. and
eye strain is avoided.
"Tailors for women sit on chairs
For one thing, the seWia1 nn Womeu's
clothes is less fine than on mems For
another, the womans tailor has to get
UP every few minutes to go TO the
manil,in, and all that rising. If he sat
crossleggcd ON the floor, would tire
him too much in the days run."-New

A Man Of Resources.

y young man genial OF face and cor
rect in attire arose from his seat in a
well patronized cafe an evening or

addressed those present.
"Gentlemen,' he said, Il have here

off, and | will esteem Il favor if ff-
teen gentlemen Will come in. Ten
cents a chance-10 cents for u dollar

in, please? I'll esteem it a favor. as
said, and there's the chance for real
bargain"

in 10 cents each, drew small squares
of paper from Il hat, and the winner
poclleted the bill, with a laugh.

BULLYING the Hens.

Years spent in providing food for
boarders, in watching them eat it and
in hearing them comment on it had ac-
customed Mrs. Orne to all sorts of
complaints, reasonable and otherwise.
She was pleasant woman and tried
to anticipate the objector's objections
and to smooth his feelings as speedily
as might be. Once in awhile her
readiness with soft answer was Il
trillc too quick.
1t was at breakfast. and Mr.. Smith,
who, since his attack of typhoid, had
been consuming vast quantities of
eggs, looked up from his fourth with
Il slightly offended air.
Il WISH" he said from the opposite
end of the table, that these hens
could be got to lay their eggs fresh!"
The last two words only caught
Mrs. Orne's ear. 'I know it," she said
emphatically, "and | think just the
way you do about it. 1t seems some
how as if it couldn't be done any more.
Years ago, before Mr.. Orne died, it
wasn't like this at all. Then you
could make them give you fresh ones"

You can hear the newsboy long
time before you can see him.
What does the newsboy say?
1t doesn't matter what the newsboy
says. You know he is the newsboy
because he has the papers to prove it.
What has the newsboy concealed in
his hand?
The newsboy has q cigarette butt in
his hand. He saw it smoking in the
gutter and was afraid it would set
fire to the street, so he picked it up.
Good little newsboy, you will be a

Did ever you try n trick on the

Animals and Electricity.

Man has much greater power Of
electrical resistance or much less sus-
ceptibility than many other animals.
A leech placed upon copper plate
which rests upon a larger plate of
zinc is unable to crawl off on account
of the feeble electric action excited
by the contact of the metals. Horses
are troubled by slight differences of
potential. An OK treated for rheuma-
tism with electricity succumbed to a
current absolutely inoffensive to man.

he SAVAGE Pike.

There are several instances on rec
ord of bathers being attacked by pike.
and an Old writer, Crull, tells OF a
giant pike inside which was found the
body of an infant. not long ago a
good sized retriever which was swim
ming in the Thames just above Chitty's
boathouse at Richmond was tackled
by a pike, which bit one of its hind
legs so badly as to sever an artery.
1t was another Thames pike which at
tackled that well known naturalist and
fisherman, Mr.. acknowledgement
He had actually landed the fish. when
it sprang from the ground and fixed
all it's sharp teeth into his leg just
above the knee. The creature hung so
fiercely to its hold that stick had to
be used to pry its jaws apart.-Cham-
