THE FIRST TIME ON RECORD.
6elated Reformation In the Case Of
Sam DoolittIe.

One Of the easiest-going, most shift
less individuals that ever dritted
through life, too lazy to travel any way
except with the current, was Sam Duo-
little. Sam was born tired and never
outGrew 1t. Being behindhand was a
chronic complaint with him, and it
finally got so that nobody really ex-
pected anything else of him.
In the course of time Sam died. The
funeral arrangements had been made
and the announcement sent out, when,
owing to other engagements of the of
hciating clergyman, it was found nee
essary to change the time to an hour
ahead and as consequence the body
reached the cemetery considerably
earlier than the original schedule had
contemplated.
AS the procession entered the gate
and halted, the old gravedigger, who
had not been notified Of the change of
time, dropped his spade In surprise
and asked: 80, -
''Is that Sam Doolittle you've got
there?" {.
Upon being asstired that It was, he
shook his head obviously and croaked:
well, If that is Sam Doolittle he
must have turned over a new leaf all
or sudden. I've known him, boy an
man, for over fifty years, an this is
the first trip he ever took that knew
him to get started ahead Of time!

White Strawberries.

A German grower. OF Berkeley. has.
after 20 years OF experimental work,
produced two new strawberries. one
of which is quite white. The fruit
is studded with fine seeds upon the
outside. as are ordinary strawberries.
otherwise it is totally different from
them. The plant bears throughout the
winter in a congenial climate, similar
10 that which exists in the south Of
England. and, when set in frames
during the winter, will bear freely till
Christmas. The berries are large and
of excellent flavor, equaling in these
respects the Paxton and Royal Sow

soon to come in sight for a few
months of its 75-year circuit around

spartans Always Clean shaven.

Sir Richard Buttons association OF

luxury would not have stood against
historical appeal to ancient Greece.

Of frugal manliness, took another line.
Their ephors, 1t is recorded by Plu-

PLEADS THAT. VICTIM
WAS SUBMISSIVE

A pathetic tale is being unwound in
the police court, the kind of story that
sends fashionable slum workers in big
cities back to their parlors disguised
with the work they took up as fad.
If there are any fashionable summers
in Honolulu they have missed the Pat
Walsh case, or else there would have
ben raised a hue and cry by social pro-
blem lectures.
The Pat Walsh case is not nice, and
cannot be reported in anything like
detail. The general facts, however, are
these:
A little Hawaiian family consisting
of father, mother and thirteen-year-
old girl has been placed in the lime
light of the police court through an
event that in some parts of the United
States results in lynching.
To add to the pathos of the case, the
father is in the home for incurables
at Kaimuki; the mother shells coffee
for living and the child has been
nursing her father, leaving school for
that purpose, so that the home-life
of the family might be referred to as
rather Struggling"
Patrick Walsh is charged with vio-
lation of Act 80 of the Session Laws
of 1907, the girl being under fourteen,
the penalty for which is leniently

have to have men to do those things
which cannot very well be allowed to
go undone unless the mills are closed
down.
How long the stevedore contingent
of the strikebreakers will stay with
the plantation job is one of the ques-
lions the planters have to consider, for
though it has been demonstrated that
Hawaiians will work in-the canefields,
it has not been shown that they will
stay at such labor for any consider
able length of time.
STRIKERS VISIT FORT.
Strikers wandering over the city and
suburbs have reached as far as the
neighborhood of the mortar battery
behind Diamond Head and some of
them have had to be told that Dia-
mond Head is a military reservation
and they cannot be allowed there.
They are perfectly polite about it, as
they appear to be in all cases. Some
have obtained some satisfaction for
their curiosity by climbing the Palolo
hills and getting a long-distance view
of the Notifications.
WE'RE NOT STRIKERS.
The impression was created in po-
lice court this morning that eight
strikers were on trial, and this because
Attorney Lightfoot was representing
the men. But because Lightfoot was
the attorney for the leaders OF the
strikers did not make his clients in
police court strikers. They had abso-
lutely nothing TO do with the strike
except that they may have given con
ributions, voluntary or otherwise to
the cause of the strike,

It may develop that the defense will
endeavor to prove that the girl is over
fourteen, or will show Walsh not
guilty, but the defense has not done
so as yet and has put on no defense,
though the case has been on in police
court all the morning, other than to
try to show that he girl was willing
victim. Act 80 Of the Session Laws
of 1907 makes no allowance for sub
mission. merely providing penalty
where the girl is under fourteen.
The scene in police court this morn
ing of supposed thirteen-year old
girl cher mother testifies that she will
not be fourteen until December next
being questioned and cross questioned
as to her technical knowledge of
wrong-doing, and the defense or ex-
cuse put forward that she mad such
technical knowledge. was a horrible
thing to witness AZ man of sixty or
more years of age is defending him
self against a most serious charge on
the plea that his thirteen-year-old vic
tim was willing one, possibly, that
the mother was more or less indiffer-
ent.
The defendant has secured most
able counsel, one of the leading at
torneys of the city, Frank Thompson.
