LAND OFFICE MOVES
TO THE CAPITOL

The Land Office was yesterday moved
into its new quarters in the Capitol,
the rooms formerly occupied by
the Road Supervisor and his force.
Since the county official was obliged to
move out, the rooms have been renovat-
ed and considerably altered to accom-
modate the Land Office and they now
present a clean and fresh appearance.
AS Marston Campbell, who is now
Land Commissioner as well as Superin-
tendent of Public Works and few
other things, is at the other end of
the lower floor corridor, the new ar.
rangement is much more convenient
than when the Land Office was in the
judiciary building.
Secretary Tucker expects to have
things in shape in day or two, and
land office business will go on as
usual.

PURSER CRUDE HAD BABY
TOO MANY ON LAST TRIP

Without relatives, without a home,
without even a name, little Porto
Rican boy, some thirty months old, ar
rived in Honolulu from Kauai last
Sunday. He arrived here in charge of
the purser of the good ship Kinau,
John H. CRUDE, having been placed
in his charge by persons unknown to
Mr.. CRUDE but whom he supposed were
relatives of the little boy.
"You watch him until you reach Ho-
nolulu; there his grandfather will meet
him and take care of him. they said
to the jolly ticket man of the former
flagship.
"Sure,' said CRUDE, who carried the
tot aboard, tucked him in the bunk
in his own stateroom, fed and bathed
him and had him dressed and ready
to jump into grandpa S arms when the
boat locked here.
There was no jumping to be done,
however. Grandpa didn't show up. He
hash t showed up yet. Purser CRUDE
remembered that he had neglected to
get grandpa IS name; he also remember
ed, too late, that he had neglected to
get anybody's name. He doesn It know
the baby's name. When he commenced
sizing up the situation last Sunday
afternoon he forgot what his own name
was.
There he was with baby on his
hands who couldn't help in his own

Practical Politics.

A political office in a small town in
Iowa was vacant. The office paid
$3.50 year. and there was keen COM
petition for it. The Democratic can
didate. Ezekiel Hicks. was shrewd
old fellow, and a neat campaign fund
was turned over to him. To the as
tcnishment of all. however. he was
defeated.
Il cant account for it," said one
OF the Democratic leaders gloomily.
with that money. we should have
won. How did you lay it out. Eze-
kiel?
"Well." said Ezekiel. slowly pulling
his whiskers. yer see that office only

Pamela, who had always considered Tom
thoroughly sensible. ,
she soid IN herself as her mind went back to
the days when Tom was her school friend.
before the Masons made their fortune in
Pennsylvania oil lands.
Certainly Tom Mason OF old would not
have thought OF marrying an affected. vain
girl like Geraldine. How Salina has spoiled
that girl! whew there goes the ink all over
my letter. Now l shall have to write an.
other."
But she didn't even begin another letter.
Instead she rose and flung on her coat ana
hood preparatory to going out.
I'm going up to the house. Aunt sally.
she announced to her surprised servant. I'll
pretend I'm neighbor who wants to see the
lady OF the place
Pamela rang her own doorbell rather tim
idly. and admitted by a tall. rather pale
girl in skinny plaid dress.
The girl led her to the dining room. where
the other four were seated before an open
fire. In a deepseated rocker. with a we'll
shawl about her thin shoulders. sat a
gauntooking woman of middle age. who In
troduced herself Mrs. Kensington. rela-
tiveinlaw OF Miss Pamela.
You not very well. are you?" Pamela
asked. she accepted a chair beside the fire.
I'm a great deal better than vas last
year." was the cheerful answer.
Miss Pamela left such a kind note OF vel

son.
20. yes." said Pamela with a flush Of
shame as she remembered the Indifferent
wording Of that reluctant note. well. must
go. Thank you for letting me warm up. I
hope you'll have a real nice Christmas here"
She rushed out into the keen. wintry day
in n rage against herself and Salina and Jim.
who had combined in that shabby treatment of
the needy Kensingtons.
Outside OF her gate she narrowly escaped
being run over by trig little cutter with two
occupants. one OF whom she recognized with
a start OF amazement as her old friend. Tom
Mason.
He looked exceedingly well-to-do In his fur
great coat and his smooth, blond face had a
fresh, boyish charm that made him look
much younger than he really was. for Pamela
knew that he exactly her own age-31.
MAY I stop?" he asked as he threw back
the lap robes THE south bound train OF
the track just below the station here and I
took that opportunity to give myself the
pleasure of calling on you"
I'm not living there Just at present" said
Pamela with a backward nod of her head
but I'll be glad to have you go down to my
cabin with me. And o. ! do need sensible
advice just this moment. and I'm awfully glad
to you. Tom"
Seated before Aunt Salys nicely laid table
in the lean.to kitchen. Pamela poured out the
story of the Kensngtons.

THE NATIONAL STOCK SHOW.
Prospects for the Greatest Show Ever
Held in the West

Entries for the National Stock
Show at Denver close this week on
everything but carloads and entries
already indicate the greatest show
ever held in the West. There will be
horses from Canada. from Ohio. from
Illinois. Missouri. Iowa. Kansas and
most of the western states. Among
the prominent herds OF cattle coming
arc the Shorthorn herds OF Carpen-
ter & Ross OF Mansfield. Ohio:
Thomas Johnson & Son of Columbus.
Ohio; c. f. Clark OF Minnesota:
Frank Harding of Wisconsin,: rhe
Elmendorf Farm OF Kentucky; w. J.
Miller of Iowa; A. G.. Binnie of Iowa:
J. +. Bales & Son OF Iowa. and many
others. all the beef breeds being rep
resented by the best In the country.
There will be sheep from all over the
United States and Canada. all of the
breeds being represented.
II Is expected that the car load cx-
hibit OF feeder cattle will be the great
est ever held and big feeder buyers
are coming from all parts Of the coun-
try to purchase the prize winners.
The business end OF the Denver
show always attracts considerable nt-
tention. The stockmen from the
west bring their choice cattle and
sheen to the show and sell them at
fancy prices and the big breeders OF
the east bring their cattle. sheep and
horses here and sell the best OF them
to the western men. This Is where
the show is doing a great work. II
Is placing within the reach OF tho
western breeders the best the country
has in live stock and within very
few years the western men will be
winning the premiums and the east
ern man will be pretty well out OF It.
The railroads are making very rca.
sonable rates through the West for
the week Of the show. In Colorado n
half rate will prevail while In New
Mexico, Utah. Idaho. Nevada. Wyom-
ing and Montana. the rate will be
fare plus 81 for the round trip. This
will bring In a great number Of stock
men and with the stock show and con-
ventions, Denver will be busy place
during the week OF January s-15. with
the new buildings being erected and
the magnificent big pavilion COM
pleted last year. the show will be in
shape to take care OF the crowds com

may be, but there is usually good
