FIVE HUNDRED CASES OF
PINES FOR SEATTLE FAIR

Secretary Wood, of the Promotion
Committee. is all smiles over the re-
ceipt of this news and is glad to be
shipping so many more pines up to
Seattle. The pineapple growers are
also all smiles because they realize
that the exposition will be a medium
of advertising for the Hawaiian pines,
second to none. 1t is also proving a
valuable market. Mr. Wood expects
that in another month the output,
through the Hawaii building will be
doubled. The pines are sliced and
served in a tempting manner, the
sextet of young ladies from Hawaii
acting as hostesses.

Hawaiian pineapples have become so
popular with visitors to the Hawaii
Building at the Alaska-Yukon EXPOSE
ton that the supply of the fruit Is
running short, and five hundred cases
will go forward from the pineapple
fields on the next steamer to the Coast.
At present time the sale of pines has
averaged 500 per day. This means
that about one thousand persons have
tasted of Hawaii's luscious pines, and
of course that means that the attend

much larger, for all who visit do not

II do not expect that we will be able

yesterday.
Leaders Expect the Strike to Spread.
In the opinion of great many, the
object of the prosecution in insisting
that the strike leaders should appear
for trial on the charges against them
is to keep them occupied so continually
with defending themselves that they
will have no opportunity of stirring up
further trouble This opinion is shared
in by the strike leaders themselves, who
regard the demands of the prosecution
as tactical mistake.
"We have succeeded so far in keep
ing the strikers well within bounds"
said one of them yesterday. "There
have been no concerted breaches of the
peace. We have urged the laborers to
remain quiet and respect the law and
they have taken our advice. Now, il
we are to be kept continually in court,

A Matter of Addition.

Precision was one of Mr.. Will
liams' chief qualities. He loved to
be exact, even to the point of noting
in his account book the smallest ex-
penditures-a cent for newspaper,
another for a pencil. Early in Jan
uary he came out of his library to
where his wife was sewing.
''My dear Jane" he began, Il am
going to make criticism that may
distress you, because you will prob
ably think it is foolish. [ assure
you that it is not. l have been read
ing through the almanac for this
year, and there is one obvious er-
ror."
"What is it?" said Mrs. Williams,
looking up from her work.
"Last year they said that the
work was seventy-two million years
old, and this year they say the same
thing"
"But"- began his wife.
"They should be exact" protested
the man. 81 can't for the life of me
see why they shouldn't say seventy
two million and one. If ones true,
then the other is. Why, oh, why,

When a Vessel Needs Bit of Washing
and Fixing.
Within the basin a steamer is
docking. The hydraulic gates are
shut; the pumping engines clang; an
exhaust ipe on the engine house
puffs out clouds of steam. Men rush
about. waving signals, lowering props
against the ship. There come sharp
orders from the master Of the dock,
who stands with folded arms at the
edge of the basin. The crew are
still on board. They line the rails,
chattering and gesticulating; thrust
curious heads through rows of ports.
The water sinks rapidly. The
steamer settles on the blocks, and
soon her battered bottom comes to
view. She is an old boat, Scared
by seas. The great plates beneath
her water line are scanned with rust !;
the paint has vanished; the iron is
eaten into burrows by years of seeth-
ing water; barnacles sprout about
her keels, clustering thickly on one
another, here and there heaping into
chains of hills, spurs of which run
off in all directions and disappear
into the shadows beneath her hull !;
growths of seaweed cling upon her
sides, oozing moisture, combed into
dark green traceries. At length the
dock is empty. It's wooden, steplike
walls are dripping and covered with
slippery moss. Little rivulets trickle
down and run out beneath the ship
into broad, dark, Shiny pools. Wa
ter splashes through leaks in the
gates;s the air smells dank and
marshy and reeks of river mud.
Men scramble down into the basin
and attack the steamer. Clad in
oilskins, they duck in and out be-
meath the hull, cleaning, scraping,
painting, hosing down the sides. Be-
meath the stern they gather in a
knot about the screw. One blade is
missing; the others are twisted and
blunted and caked with rust. The
blows of sledge hammer ring out
loudly; the men shout at one an
other as they strive to loosen the
propeller from the shaft. One of
the owners of the boat-a tall man
in a long raincoat that flaps about
his ankles-watches them anxiously.
His patent leather shoes are fecked
with mud.
The foreman hurries about, CIV
ing directions. ooh, this ships all
right" he says in answer to your
question. "She only wants bit of
washing and a screw. She fouled a
buoy down river going on a week
ago and left a blade there in the
chain SOS to remember their meet
ing. But she needed new screw

for, as it was, by the ice last win

A SALE or ANTIQUES.
The Trick a Shrewd Dealer Played or
an Astute Banker.

an ASIQIS PdIiNSTs
A story told in the Memories OF
an Old Collector" makes clear the
tricks in trade to which an unscru-
pulous dealer in antiquities will re-
sort in order to get large sum for
his wares. The two parties were
Alessandro Castellani, the clever
dealer, and Baron Adolph Roth
schild of Paris.
Castellani had managed to get
hold of superb enameled ever, to-
gether with the dish on which it
stood. He knew that Baron Adolph
had a fancy for objects of this kind,
but he also knew that Rothschild
was never SO carried away by his
fancy as to pay more than was rea-
sonable for anything that pleased
him. Castellani devised a bit of
strategy.
The baron on arriving in Rome
visited Castellani's shop and was
shown the best things the dealer
had except the enameled dish and
ever. When everything else had
been inspected Castellani drew from
a hidden cupboard the dish, but not
the ever. The baron was so pleased
with the dish that he agreed to buy
the lot of which it was a part, for
one of the customs of the shop was
not to sell a rare specimen apart
from the group of which it formed
the principal object. The baron paid
heavily for the whole, lamenting
that there was no ever to stand on
the dish, and departed for Florence.
There he was visited by an agent
who told him of an old lady who
wished to sell several beautiful ma
jolica pieces. He visited her house
in the country and was disappointed.
AS the majolica lady, seemingly cha
grined, left the room to order re-
freshments the baron saw through
the open door of bedroom a ever
covered by glass shade on which
rested wreath of immortelles.
When the lady returned the baron
asked permission to examine the
ever. 1t was brought out, and the
baron saw that the enamel was OF
the same work as that of the dish
he had bought, but he wished to be
certain that the foot Of the ever
would fit into the hollow of the
dish. He inquired the price of the
ever and was told by the lady that
it was not for sale, as it was the
only souvenir she possessed of her
husband.
The baron went back to his
rooms, had the dish unpacked and
found that the foot of the ever fit
ted it perfectly. The next day the
baron sent the agent to offer the
old lady a princely sum for the
ever. He brought back refusal to
sell. But at last the widows scru-
Piles were overcome. :
Castellani, with his Italian cum
ming, had planned the whole affair.
The agent who called and the old
lady who was sentimental were his
aids in making the baron pay a
much larger sum than he would
have given had ever and dish been
sold together. The italian shop.
mans scheme had taken in one OF
the most astute of business men.
