LUKEWARM LOVE
COSTS $500 FINE
Uncle Sam Furnishes Wealthy
Tourist Who Failed to Visit
M0ther-in-LaW.

SAN FRANCISCO, September Is
Uncle Sam, being relative himself, is
proud to encourage flial affection
among his nephews and nieces, but he
is very particular that the affection is
real and not simulated with intent to
impose on the government.
P. r. Chance and wife, extremely
wealthy people of Washington, D. c.,
have learned of this splendid distinc-
ton from Uncle Sam s San Francisco
agent, Collector of the Port Fred STRAIT
ton. They have also learned that
postponed trip to Mrs. Chance S mother
has cost them $500 fine, which the
government had decided to remit when
it thought their devotion real. The
situation hung on an application of the
coastwise navigation laws, which pre-
vents passengers travelling under for
eign flag between Honolulu and the
United States, except upon payment OF
fine of 5000 each.
Chance and his wife were in Homo
lulu. They took passage from the
Islands on the japanese liner Chiyo
Maru, arriving here September 3. When
the couple embarked on the japanese
ship, Chance had to pay the fine OF
$400, but he represented to E. r. Stack
able, collector of customs at Honolulu,
that he could not wait for the Ameri-
can liner because of the illness of his
mother-in-law in Southern California.
Stackable believed the illness to be
serious and advised the treasury de
partment at Washington to remit the
fine, The department favorably CON
sidered the recommendation. But Col
leetor of the Port Straton at this end
of the route kept tab on Chance and
found that he loitered here ten days be
fore fastening to the bedside Of his
motherin-law Stratton withheld the
$500 while he communicated that IN
formation to Washington. Chance pro-
duced letter from the mOther-in law,
in which she invited the Chances to
visit her, closing by saying that she was
not feeling well.
Uncle Sam considered the case and
decided to retain the $500 penalty.

man and one who stands high in the
inner councils of the railroad orders.
and is particularly well known in the
Middle States. When the rifle team
was about to start from Honolulu,
Major Ray sent letters on ahead to
various railroad officials and responses
came from even presidents of roads
saying that they would have represen-
tatives on the lookout for the rifiemen.
At San Francisco a representative Of
every railroad over which the team
would travel met the party They were
given a good Pullman sleeper and
porter. the best one to be had, was
assigned to the car and told to stay
with it and show them what a really
good porter is According to Colonel
Jones the porter more than made good.
When it came to meals the rifemen
found they were given first call and
the meals did not cost them very much,
but the bill of fare items were the
best the railroads could furnish.
The Japanese Language.
Army officers that are thinking of
taking up the study of japanese should
pause before they attempt the task and
ask themselves whether they have
peculiarly strong linguistic aptitude.
Even the japanese find the language
very difficult AnglO-Saxons who growl
about the difficulties of our spelling
and favor the simplifed system would
never live if they had to undergo what
the subject of the Mikado suffers in
the matter of language. 1t takes q
japanese child seven years to learn
the essential parts of the alphabet.
One must be familiar, says Give Hol-
land in his book on Japan, with PA
signs. which serve the same purpose as
initial letters in English dictionaries.
| Then, after one has tracked down in
one of these PA signs, some part of
the character for which he is about to
make a search. he still has a veritable
Darkest Africa ahead of him. The
pompous first personal pronoun is avoid
ed whenever it is possible in speaking
Japanese. If it must be used it is in
troduced casually, but generally the
abstract noun "selfshness serves in
its stead For example. a Japanese
would not say, ''I don t drink wine, ="
but "Wine don t drink; or, if this
is not clear enough, "Selfshness wine
don t drink Reference TO ones pos
sessions must be deprecatory. Thus, If
man wishes to point out his own resi-
dence. he SAYS. "That miserable

MEDICINES MADE FROM ROOTS
AND HERBS.

In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they depended upon
medicines made from the roots and
herbs of the field to cure disease.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, that standard remedy which is
made from roots and herbs for wo-
mans ills, had its origin in this way.
For thirty years it has been redeeming
its promises written on the label of
every bottle by curing thousands of
women of feminine ills. It's a good,
honest medicine.

Whether new boilers will be sent
here for the station tug 1roquois, or
whether the tug will be towed to San
Francisco and there repaired, is not
yet known. The report of the board of
survey, which decided that the lro-
uuois must have new boilers, is now
in the hands of the Navy Department,
and until some reply is received Of
ficers stationed here will not know
what disposition is to be made of the
tug.
That no effort will be made to re-
pair the boilers now in the tug is GER
tain; that the Iroquois cannot make
the trip to San Francisco under her
own power is also certain. There is
a chance that she may be towed up
to the Coast by man-o'- war and that
another tug may be sent here to take
her place.
The rumors that one of the old monl-
tors will be sent here as station ship
has not been corroborated and as far
as officers stationed here know the au-
thorities have seriously considered
sending such vessel here. A tug IS
needed and would have to be kept here
in all probability, even were there
monitor sent here as a station ship.
1t is altogether probable that some
instruction relative to the disposition
of the Troouois will be received in the
near future. as to all intents and pur-
poses Captain Corwin P. Rees, the COM
mandant of the naval station, IS now
without a station ship, the Iroquols not
being sea worthy owing to the eondl-
ton of her boilers.
N. G. H. to Major Ray.
In appreciation of the efforts Of
Major B. B, Ray, paymaster, United
States Army. 10 give the Hawaiian Ma
tional Guard rife team clear route

the rifle team has presented Major
Raw with silver match case adorned
with a Hawaiian coat-of-arms and ap-
propriatelv inscribed. Adjutant-Gener-
nj Jones Of the National Guard sent the
following note with the match safe:
''Please accept the little remem-
brance accompanying this note with
the best wishes of the members of the
Hawaii rifle team We all deeply ap-
preeiate YOUR kindness in making our
travel so pleasant and hope that it
may be our good fortune to be able
to repay in part, our Indebtedness IN

would easily identify the house as be-
longing to someone else. Moreover,
anyone who wishes to learn japanese
must be prepared to learn two Ian
guages-the written and the spoken.
The one differs so materially from the
other that if a japanese is reading a
book or newspaper and wishes to do
so aloud, it becomes necessary for him
to translate the written words into the
colloquial To be able to read any of
the high class Japanese newspapers it
is necessary to master at least from
$500 to 5000 ideographs.
Captain of the Yard.
Chief Boatswain Shepley, now act

station, may continue to discharge the
duties of that position Indefinitely, ae-
cording to present outlook. When Lieu

from duty here, Shepley was given
charge of the yard and Lieutenant
Houston, lighthouse inspector, was
placed in command of the Iroquois.
Chief Boatswain Shepley has dis

one of the Semid group, is the island
OF Chirikof, the haunted island OF
Alaska
Enshrouded for q great portion of
the time with almost impenetrable

ly Isle is an object of terror TO the
natives. who will not go near the
island saying 1t means certain death
TO invade the canny confines. and
there are few men in the far north
who have tho temerity to test the
truth of the many and weird tales told
oil this Iorbiddng and barren island.
Shlpmasters and sailors passing the
place assert that the agonaing cries of
Russian eXiles sent there to starve or
die of torture are sometimes heard
on quiet nights. while the clink OF
chains and the sound of blows are
testified to in an affidavit by a white
man who once attempted to remain
there for a week and who lost his
reason.

WILL THE LARGE CITIES VOTE WET2
Dry Forces Carried Kansas City by
5000 Majority.

A few sincere friends Of the tenn
perance cause have expressed doubts
rs To the wisdom of submitting
statewide prohibition to the voters
in 1910. These people fear that the
liquor strength In the great cities
cannot be overcome by the dry vote
in rural portions of the State.
On the 18th day of last July, Kan
sas City voted on The issue of home
rule, which had the unanimous sup
port of the gamblers, the male har-
lots, the saloons and the brcwerics,
while the churches, the ministers
and the moral people threw their
united strength against the meas
ure. On that issue Kansas City
was carried against the liquor and
lawless element by about eight thou
sand majority.
No similar contest has been held
in either st. Louis or St. joseph.
but the voting strength of the liquor
following in those cities also is far
less than appears on the surface
BY placing their friends on the
boards OF directors of the great fl
and industrial corporations
and in positions Of power in the po-
litical parties, the breweries are
able to dominate the business and
politics of those cities and to con-
troll many prominent and influen- |
tial business men and politicians.
But on a clear issue of tremendous
interest and Importance, their ac-
tual strength at the polls in those |
cities, AZ well as In Kansas City,
will be far below the estimate which |
they have sought to impress upon
the public mind.
They claimed to control Kansas
City by an overwhelming majority,
but they lost that city in well-de-
lined contest that aroused great in
.erest throughout the State and in
which they had the financial support
II the st. Louis breweries also. If
they can carry the other large cities
1t all, their majority will be much
than they would have the
public to expect.
