BOLOMEN MAKE
ALL-STARS RUN

Here is a story on Mique Fisher that
leaked out only yesterday and the joke
is on the rest of the bunch just as
much. 1t happened in Manila and pro-
vides the reason for Mique saying that
he could beat any two hundred and
twenty pound man in sprint, in this
case he would have beaten En- Sue him
self.
The bunch was invited to 60 out a
little way into the country and spend
New Years day at a country place
owned and kept up by the "Exiles, +"
coterie of bachelors who club it in
Manila. The trip was made BIZ automo-
bile and the start was made after dim
ner on the last night of the old year.
Mique and Brick were in the tom
neau of the front machine while one
of the Exiles sat next TO the chauffeur.
After they had gone little way they
came to where two roads met and the
chauffeur bore to the right. The other
man told him to stop and argued with
him in a loud voice saying that the
road was not safe on account Of bolo.

ah, that ali l1Sut+ ltp1lci the
chauffeur. "'They all get drunk to-
night for the new year, they won It

how Then he released the clutch
pedal and the machine started forward.
Mique pricked up his ears at this and
inquired if there were any danger of
being held up. He then implored them
to turn back and take the other road
but the Exile quoted him inquiring,
however. if he were heeled. Both Mique
and Brick admitted carrying guns SO
the man in front told them they had
better give them up as the"f was more
danger for the two in the front seat.
Needless to say Mique grew very
nervous and spoke disconsolately of the
wad he carried eff we ever get held
up by bolomen, you won't have any
need for a wad.' was the calming re-
mark from the front seat. 1t was just
after this that the inevitable happened.
The car was stopped ard surrounded by
mob of yelling savages, all waving
fearsome looking knives.
The two brave ~ men in the front
of the car did great execution with
their borrowed guns and several boio-
men bit the dust. but the attack was
too fierce and the Exile yelled to Mtque
and Brick to tumble out of the back
of the machine and sprint back to town
for help. 1t took them about half a

second to get running and they never
stopped until the lights of Manila came
into view
About that time Mique sat down and
said that he could run no farther. but
suddenly jumped up and went on again
when the distant sound of yells reached
his ear. He was using his wad as a
running cork in one hand and held the
other to his heaving side.
Then from behind came the welcome
footing of an automobile horn and they
knew that they were saved. It was
their own car and the two men III it
loudly proclaimed that the bolomen had
been repulsed. Of course they tumbled
when the other cars came up and went
seoOting further along the road to pick
up other stragglers who had also been
induced to run. for help.
The jokers were sworn to secrecy and
the story was well guarded until yes
terday when it dropped somehow and
here it is.

appoint somebody to act for them. Lieu

tieth1nfantry, Fort Shafter; Mr. Blan7
chard of the High School, Mr. Arnold
of Oahu College and Mr.. Hopwood of
kamehameha and Mr.. Cheatham, who
so ably did the work of making the
last walking race the success it was.
1t will be up to this committee to
define the course, to name the Judges
and to make arrangements generally.
There was general expression of hope
that those named would consent to
serve as they are all men Of athletic
experience and are in position to do
much to make the event the success
it should be.
A member of the committee will go
to Haleiwa today to confer with Man
ager Bidgood of the Haleiwa Hotel, as
to arrangements at that end of the line.
Mr.. Bidgood has expressed his willing
ness to help the event along and will
probably charter a special Train to leave
Honolulu just after the start, so that
those interested will be able TO see the
start and get to the finishing line in
time for lunch, before they have to
watch out for their favorite to come
romping down the road in the lead.
Mr.. Bidgood will also make special
arrangements for the comfort of visitors
that day. AS well as the regular lunch
and dinner, he has suggested putting
in a lunch counter so that hungry ar
rivals may get something good to eat
no matter what time they arrive. There
will be special accommodation for
competitors and something for them be-
side the elusive chance at the Haleiwa
cup.
Owing to the comparatively slim at
tendance at the meeting it is impossible
to give very good idea of who will
enter thesrace. Most of the probable
starters were unable to attend and
many of them thought that the ether
fellow would be there and so it would
be all right if he did not 60.
All details will be published as soon
as the members of the committee chosen
have consented to act and have got
| together and, in the meanwhile, those
who figure ON entering the great go-as'
you-please race may start breakfasting
on two boiled eggs and otherwise get

Company E started out with a two

second and third with a one and a
two. Then E tied in the last of the
third, and things looked exciting, es-
peeially when E made a three-strike

up and handed out three each in the
sixth and seventh, thus winning the
game by good margin. Both pitch

DATE SET FOR HALEIWA
GO-AS-YOU-PLEASE RACE
March 18th Set for the Big Event. Committee
of Prominent Athletic Authorities
Asked to Act

The Haleiwa -you-please race
meeting was not largely attended yes
terday afternoon, but there were
enough enthusiasts present to voice the
general sentiment, and all preliminary
details were arranged.
The date was set for Sunday, March
IA, and the race will start from Fort
Shafter at half-past nine The start
ing line will be across the road at the
top of the hill above the end of the
King street ear line, between the
guardhouse and the hospital.
The bicycle race will start half an
hour earlier from the end of the car
line. The difference in starting places
is due to the fact that the foot-race1s
do not want hill in front of them at
the start, while the cyclists do not
want down slope. By changing the
starting points in this way both diff
culties are obviated
1t was also decided that nominal
appearance forfeit would be asked of
every man entering the race. This
amount will be fifty cents and will be
returnable on appearance at the start
ing line ready to enter the race.
The reason of this action was that
past experience shows that there are
many people who like to gain little
newspaper notoriety by stating that
they will enter a race, when they have
no idea of doing so. To obviate this,
and to give the management an exact
idea of how many will actually start,
the forfeit will be enforced All those
who arrive at the starting point in
time and who start off when the sig
nal is given, will have their entrance
fee returned to them. Any forfeited
fees, and it is not likely that there
will be any, will be donated to a suit
able charity.
1t was impossible to appoint COM
mittee at the meeting as there were
not sufficient representatives of differ
ent institutions present. The follow
ing who were present were appointed,
Messrs. George Lowe, to represent the
cyclists, Ayres and Densham. 1t was
also decided to ask the following to act

EIectrifyinq an Elephant.

A very curious accident occurred
in Mysore, India, recently. A palace
elephant mahout, seated on a huge
tusker, happened to pass under the
main line wires conveying current
from the power station. Thinking
he would test the truth Of any one
being killed if the wire touched, he
was foolish enough to place hia
hand on the wire. The effect was
disastrous. Both mahout and ele-
phant were knocked down instantly
and lay insensible. The elephant
after short while got up and rush
ed about in a dazed manner, wreck

career. After a most exciting chase

A Lazy Artists Wit.

An Austrian prince once sent his
servant to a painter remarkable for
his idleness as well as skill and gave
him a picture to copy. 1t was the
painting of an old farmhouse. In a
few days the servant went to see
what progress had been made and
on his return informed the prince
that all was done but one chimney,
on which the painter was then en-
ployed. A week passed, and the pic
ture was not returned. The prince
then resolved to 60 himself. He did
so and found the artist still at the
unfinished chimney. GLOW is this, u
said the prince severely-"all this
time employed on one chimney"
'1 have been obliged to do and
undo it several times" said the art
list.
'For what reason ?" asked the
prince.
Because" said the artist coolly,
ri found that it smoked"
