RED River VALLEY

Prolific Sections of Fertile Land
That Will Recuperate from

To one who has seen the Rcd
river valley blooming aud active
with the fruits Of we'll directed
industry, teeming with life and
smiling with abundance and guild
en- with promise of richer deyelop-
ment, its pres3nt aspect is a strlk-

The waters of the disastrous
flood of 1905 have left the inn
preston of destruction wrought
ON the productiveness of The once
fertile and smiling valley Fences
and houses stained with the marks

corn, emerald cotton and hay now

and debris piled on the barren

animation and the stir of agricuI

areas lying silent aud abandoned.

as he knew. had no enemies on the is
land of Kauai. Following the witness
to Honolulu where he bought out a
japanese newspaper, Lightfoot en-
deavored to show that his leanings had
| always been in favor of the planters
as against his own countrymen. Kin
ney objected to this, however, and aft
er heated argument in which Kinney
vigorously defended Sheha against the
charge, the court ruled the matter i'm
material.
Prosecution Sustained.
The very next question precipitated
another lengthy argument. Lightfoot
attempted to 60 into the merits of the
controversy between the conservative
course for obtaining higher wages and
the policy pursued by the Nippu. Bal
lou, for the prosecution, contended that
the merits of the argument were imma-
terial and that the only object of the
testimony which had been introduced
was to show that there was difference
of opinion. and that the bounding of
Sheha had been on account of this issue
and not some outside matter. Kinney
also argued that so far as justice to the
defendants was concerned, a dozen of
their arguments had gone before the
jury to every one which had been in
| troduced on Sheba S behalf. The court
again sustained the prosecution and
ruled the line of questioning inadmis-
| sible.
| Lightfoot then took up an article by
Mr.. Ishida, which Sheba had published
! and commended in his paper, and show
. ed that Ishida s recommendation that
labor unions be formed among the jap
anese had been published in the Japan
csc version and omitted in the English
! copy. Sheba gave as his reason that
this English edition was limited to a
single page published once a week. and
| that ne endeaFored to put on that page
matters upon which the white people
| needed education, and that he did not
consider the formation of labor unions
one OF them. I4ightfoot insinuated plain.
| ly that Sheba had been serving one kind
of news to his English readers and an
other to his japanese, which CHARGE
Sheba vigorously denied.

Fourteenth Century Doctors.

Synge's Social Life in England" quotes a number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there 4s an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say. Nay, master. it is my head or legs that trouble me-" Repeat that 1t comes from the liver, and especially use the word .'obstruc- tlon." for patients do not understand 1t, which Is important.
 Never dine with a patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fec
 When you are treating a wound or accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded. for they may faint and cause 8 disturbance, but some times a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.

As he entered the schoolroom he matched plot to get the coveted holiday. He went up to the teachers desk and told his story My mother wants to know if you won't excuse me for today?" he began. "She wants me to do some work at home and thought if I'd study at home this even- ing and make up what I'd missed mebby you'd let me off"
 Something about the lads manner kept the words from carrying convic- ton. The teacher bluffed back as fol lows: "Tommy," said she. you won't need to go home at all Since you started to school your mother called me on the phone to tell me that she had changed her mind and for you to stay here"

Tho Substitution.

It is a we'll known fact that both Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir w. 5. Gilbert had horror of the titles of their operas becoming known until the very night of their performance. This fear that they might be forestalled ere ated considerable confusion at the int- tial production of 'Iolanthe; or Tho Peer and the Peri" The opera was rehearsed for weeks under the title of "Perola." 1t was only at the dress rehearsal that the company was in structed to substitute the name "Io- lanthe" for that of 'Perola" wherever 1t occurred in the text or lyrics. It was no easy task to replace vocally and in the dialogue a name of three syllables for one of four. Sullivan. however, said (maybe aside} to ono or two of the actors who were nervous "Go ahead and sing the music. Gil bert won't be in front (Gilbert never attended the first night, ''so use any name that you think of first If you are rattled. No one in the audience will be any wiser."-Boston Post.

In the more retired vil- lages, although greatly discoura ged by the British authorities, 1t is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel- atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on rough bier to some forest thicket. desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot. where 1t Is left unburied by the bearers. who new CT revisit the place again. The Bachi- ehi, who are deuizens of neighboring village, and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect for the deceased by simply ting him.

PAPER TAX
IS REVISED
Senator AIdrich Agrees to Main Features oi
Amendments Of Brown of Nebraska.

This provision restores the order
of the procedure as provided by the
original committee amendment.
Both amendments were agreed to
without division.
Senator Davis of Arkansas found
general fault with the tariff bill.
Contending that the republican
party had failed to keep its promise
to lower the tariff, he said if that
party had possessed the manhood to
state boldly that it intended to in
crease the tariff the places that know
them today would know them no lon
ger, for they have been hiss and a
byword in the land, their destruction
inevitable.
Declaring that the tariff bill is vir-
tually the product of Senator Aldrich
and asserting that Mr.. Aldrich had
been elected to the senate by legis-
lature chosen by II per cent. of the
voters of the small state of Rhode Is
land, Mr.. Davis declared that the
senatorial supporters Of the bill had
shown great subserviency to Mr.. Al
drich.
Indirectly, Mr. Davis criticized
democrats who had declared their lack
of allegiance to the democratic plat
form, which he said he was willing to
Swallow from 'Fkiver to kiver.''
Mr.. Davis defended Mr.. Bryan as
the reputed author Of the democratic
platform. Even though Mr.. Bryan
might not be president, Davis ex-
pressed the hope that he would "never
circumscribe his eternal greatness by
accepting a seat in the senate Of the
United States.
s'The field is too small,'' said SEN
ator Davis. "His powers of usefulness
would be too circumscribed, and a
pitiable spectacle he would present,
indeed were he here today, bound and
gagged, as are the helpless minority,
to the autocratic will Of the senior
senator from Rhode Island.
