and trouble there is misery every
where. There are few worries of
life which man cannot now and
| then shake off, but who can shake
himself free from the skeleton in
the closet, from the. worry Of the
household, a blister on the heart.
A day will tell how many man
carried that with him without
wincing down to the grave. When
husband and wife are helpmate to
each other in the best sense; when
order and love and goodness pre-
vail in the house. Then the man
who has a hard battle in, life to
fight can leave his struggles behind
him when he enters there. With
all our faults we are the the most
home loving Of people and that is
the reason why we are the greatest
of people. Whatever helps home
life is a national blessing; whatever
hurts home life is a national curse,
and the greatest curse that can
touch these blessing is what would
tamper with the peace and blessed
ness of our homes.
1t is extremely unpleasant for
sensitive woman who, before mar
riage, had been earning her own
living, and had been accustomed to
spending her income as she pleased
to ask man for money to buy
everything she needs, such as cot
ton, needles, pins, etc. 1t seems to
us no more than right that a man
should give his wife, for her own
necessities, at least as much money
as be would q servant. She keeps
his house, provides for the com
fort Of himself and children, not
for hire, but because she loves
them, and she cares for her hus-
bands interests as no hired house
keeper would, and is she not entitl-'
ed to pay for her services? Yet
some men would think it a hardship
to pay wife $500 per week-the
amount he would be obliged to pay
a servant girl. There is many a
woman among the working classes
who would think herself highly ia
yored if she we're sure of fifty cents
per week Of her husbands wages to
spend as she pleased. The above
hints are for the husbands who
need them, and written in consider
alton Of their good wives.
There is one class of laborers
who never strike and seldom COM
plain. They get up at FIVE o'clock
in the morning and never get back
to bed until ten or eleven o'clock
at night; they work without ceas-
ing the whole of that time, and re-
ceive no other emolument than
food and the plainest kind of fcloth-
ing; they understand something of |
every branch Of economy and labor,
from finance to cooking; though S
harassed by hundred responsible Il
lies, though driven and worried, !,
though reproached and looked down /
upon they never revolt, and theyl
cannot organize for their own pro-
section. Not even sickness releases
hem from their posts No sacrifice
IS deemed for them to make, and no
ncompetency in any branch of
heir work is excused. No essays,
BOOKS or poems are written in trib- :

Sheriff
Explains
Opposed to Such Evidence as
Recently Given.

In our report of the Asano Naka-
shima case in our issue of last week
we said:
"Asano Nakashima was tried be-
fore jury on a charge OF being a
common prostitute.
Cyprian Freitas and Nakamura,
two paid spies in the employ OF the
Sheriff, were the witnesses against
the woman. According to their
own testimony they were as guilty
as the woman.
The woman was defended by J.
NJ. Vivas. The jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty in just twenty
four minutes.
The Judge sent for the Sheriff
and gave some good advice relative
to the manner of obtaining evidence
as it is patent that the jury did not
approve of the kind of testimony
given against the japanese defen-
dant.
The conference between the Judge
and the sheriff is understood to have
been a perfectly friendly one"
In reference to this we have re-
ceived the following communication
from Sheriff Saffery and are pleased
to note the stand the sheriff has
taken in eases of this kind and gladly
publish the letter in order that no
wrongful impressions may be form
ed.
Dear Sir:
Your last issue called the atten-
ton of your Readers to Il certain
advice given me by the Hon. Sci
den b. Kingsbury regarding a GER
tain method of obtaining evidences
in certain criminal cases. would
now like to say that your Readers
or the Public must be given the full
and thorough understanding that
did not at any time ask any OF th'
Witnesses in such cases to commit
such act, or in other words, to Obtain
such evidences in the method as un
dertaken by them, They did it o
their own voliton.
And | would further wish to an
nounce that long before such valued
advice given me by His Honor,
had already given official instruc
tions rcpudiating such method.
For testimonials, ! refer you t.

Accused
OF Murder
Two Brothers Battle to
Death.

One of the bloodiest battles ever
fought on Maui between two men
occurred Friday night in the candy
store of Jinsaburo Kawahara and at
the end of which he was left fatally
stabbed in the abdomen and twice
in the arm, his wife Sada was
seriously stabbed twice in the hip
while the brother of the dead man
was slightly wounded by skin cut
ON theforehead and breast.
1t was about half past eight
O'Clock in the evening that Torokichi
IA tin smith of Market street called
mt the store of his brother for the
purpose it is claimed of collecting
his share of rent due on a building
in which he and his brother are said
to be equal partners.
The brothers have not been on
friendly terms for some years, owing
to the fact, so the japanese colony
say, of trouble caused by the wife of
the defendant. Be that as in may
the two brothers have been enemies
for years.
Shortly after the brothers met at
the store a Cry for help was heard
and Sada, the wife Of the murdered
man was found at the steps OF the
house of Hata. A little girl ran to
Miguel Paresa and told him of a
desperate struggle going on. He ran
toward the store and met Torakichi
running away. He grabbed the man
and held him until sam Kaiapa, a
new police officer came up when he
gave the man over to the keeping OF
the officer. Parcsa then grabbed
another Jap whom he saw running
and turned him over to the officer.
The first Jap who is now charged
with murder in the first degree broke
away from the officer and ran up
Vineyard street Just as-Paresa came
back Paresa gave chase and over
took the man and brought him back
to the officer who then held him.
In the store the owner was found
lying ON the floor fatally stabbed
while blood was all over the fiool
and walls and even on the show
case. There was here every indica,
ton of IA desperate struggle.
County Attorney Case was calleC
and going to the scene took tht
dying statement of the wounded
man and took the statements o
other witnesses.
No weapon of any kind was fount
on either OF the men nor near TIT
place until a vacant lot was search
ed by the officers and bloody knit
was found.
The wounded man was taken t.
the hospital and every effort mad
to save him but hedied at 10 o'clocl
a. M. Sunday and was buried Mon
day afternoon. The funeral wa
very largely attended.
: Jinsaburo Kawahara is held il
, Jail under a charge of murder in tn
first degree. Judge kepoikai Ina
been retained to defend him.

Mail Fails
To Arrive
Business Men Angry At
Mixup.

There was much disappointment
Saturday when it was learned that
the Alameda failed to get into Homo
lulu in time to have the mail from
the Coast sent out on either the
Mauna Loa or the Claudine but it
was confidently expected that the
mail would be shipped here on some
boat leaving Sunday or Monday but
when it was announced that the
steamer Likelike was in port ut
Kahului harbor Tuesday morning
and had no mail those responsible
for the non arrival of the mail were
criticised severely.
The Claudine went down Tues
day and in consequence no answers
to any of the Alameda mail can be
made before the Goth of this month
on the Asia.
Many letters of protest were sent
to Honolulu, the following being a
sample.
Kahului, Maui,
Nov. 9th, 1909.
James A. Kennedy Esq.
President Inter. Island Steam Navi-
cation Co. Honolulu, Oahu.
Dear Sir:
In behalf of the Union Oil Com
pany, wish to express the disap-
pointment and inconvenience we
were subjected to this morning in
not receiving important mail which
was forwarded ON the Alameda. |
am aware that the Alameda arrived
too late to connect with the Clau-
dine, but was given to understand
| by the Post Office authorities here
that the Likelike would be dispatch
ed with freight for Kahului either
Sunday or Monday night and would
also bring the Alameda mail. As
the correspondence referred to re-
quires an immediate answer, which
could have been forwarded by the
Alameda leaving Honolulu tomorrow
if the Likelike had brought the mai
here, our Company will be put tt
unnecessary expense, as it will now
be necessary for me to cable to then
my answer, since there will be nt
other mail leaving for the Coast
until the Goth.
We are entirely dependent upor
your company for prompt service il
the matter of mails, and | feel that
| am entirely justified in making
formal complaint of this needles
delay and expense to which we are
put, due to the seemingly ineXcus
able failure of your service to carry
the mail promptly.
Yours truly,
UNION OIL co. OF CAL
, BY II. b. WELLER,
Maui Agent.

Sopchoppy, In Wakulla, and
Zif, in Bradford, were long held
up to ridicule on account of their
names. But Sopchoppy is get

aud bids fair TO become another

business years ago. But if the
places mentioned are poked fun
at no longer, there are some 9TH
ers which would not suffer from
change OF name, as, for in
stance, Sawdust, in Gadsden
Ojus, in Dade, and Vestibule, 10
St, Johns. Though every vii
lage presumably dreams of be-
coming a metropolis sometime,
some of them have decidedly un-
propitious names, like Wild.
wood, in Sumter. While some,
with true American hilarious
ness, give their villages such
names as Glory, in Gadsden;
Balm, IN Hillsboro, aud Electra,
in Marion, others are moderate
and truthful. Examples of these
are Sleepy Hollow, in Gadsden,
Needhelp, in Lee, Massacre, in
Sumter. A pleasant contrast to
the latter are Gay, in Washing
ton, Dinner Island, in St. Johns,
Picnic, in Hillsboro, aud-why
not?-Rye, in Maratee. Pin

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

There are three sides to every
dispute-the inside and the out
side and the wrong side, says
Herbert Kaufman. Make sure
you see the right side when you
pass judgment. But before you
bother about the matter at all
figure out whether it's any af-
fair of yours to give an opinion.
Chances are that you are a mud.
ding, meddIing interfering but
ter-in-a self-constituted, un-
summoned jury of one.
See to it when you chase the
chickens out of your neighbours
garden that you, yourself, don't
create more havoc by trampling
down the flowers.
Mind your own business. If
you have one, it needs all the
attention you can give it. If
you find that you have any at
tention to spare, you need a new
sort of business,
Lending advice is like lending
mouey-it destroys every other
friendship, A still tongue is a
multitude of virtues.
Get out of the habit of making |
other peoples beds. Keeping
your own comfortable is a good.
sized life-task.
The man who shoots of his
mouth and kills a good name de-
as much punishment as
hat other type of prize idiot,
Who shoots off a gun without

Madison county soil is as pro-
life as that of any county in the
State, and had it the opportun-
ity it could furnish sustenance
and support a population many
times greater than we now have.
If our people would but awaken
to a full realization of the in
ducements which our lands offer
to the world and would then let
the world know what we have
to offer we believe that within
a short time our county would
become one of, if not the most,
populous counties of the State.
What we need to do is to adver-
tise so that the world may learn
of advantages which we offer to
settlers.
