Why Truth Goes Naked.

Secretary Meyer, at Newport lun-
cheon, answered an interesting cues
ton.
"Why,' naval cadet asked, ''do
we always speak Of the naked
truth?'
Secretary Meyer smiled and an
swered:
"There is an ancient fable, and
one very appropriate to this hot
weather, which tells us that on a
summer afternoon Truth and False
lood SET out to bathe together. They
found crystal spring, they bathed IN
The cool. fresh water, and Falsehood,

But Truth, unwilling to put on the

What we started to say was that
daring all these years that we have
attended the opening exercises OF the
college there were two other faithful
friends, not: graduates OF NeWoerry'
but true friends, who were always
wesent with words of welcome and

wait thiriy-iivp minutes for all that
fish to get by.
1.-The biggest fish I ever saw: -
said Officer Stonebaker, WAS out III
Ellsworth county The river was
nearly up to the top Of a railroad
bridge. As the train was over the
bridge a fish appeared. He Topped
his tail, and the end of that tail
struck a brakeman on the top OF one
of the freight cars and knocked him
over in to the river. We never did
find the mans body. It is my opinion
the big fish ate him.

fcer, II was driving across bridge
near Marquette. The Smoky was boil
ing up to the bridge. Ny wife and I
were in the buggy and we had just
cot into the middle Of the bridge
when the darn thing sort o. raised
and started. But the queer part Of it
was it went up stream. It was an ex-
citing ride and We expected to be
killed at any minute. A mile up at
the next section Of the bridge had
been washed out, and by George, this
bridge dropped right in place where
the old one stood and We drove off.
We couldn't understand it, but we
looked back and saw the biggest fish
we had ever laid eyes on. You won't
believe it, but that fish raised the
bridge, swan up stream mile and
nrapped it down again. '-Sallna

the facts briefly.
Both claimants are right.
Both Cook and Peary discovered

that they approached from different

I hid each explorer from the other!

SUNDAY
NIPS FOR
SAILORS
WHISKEY AND GIN PEDDLED TO
MEN-oF-wARsMEN IN SPITE OF
LAW.

Yesterday was not dry Sunday
for such of the sailors of Sebrees feet
who we're willing to do business with
certain gentlemen who stood con-
veniently at street corners, or in hall
ways, or fruit stores, and confidential
ly offered for sale twenty-five cent
TASKS of wnskey or gin for the uppro-
hibitive sum of fifty cents each.
Several reckless but enterprising
men had stacked up with booze and
TASKS the day before and had their
supply cached in some place near at
hand while they ventured forth to min
| gle with punches of men-of- warsmen,
armed in every pocket with flask.
The method Of doing business was
in this wise:-
The booze peddler would join a
crowd of sailors and make some casual
remark about the dryness of the town
on a Sunday. He would generally re-
ceive sympathy from some one in the
bunch who would remark that he him
self could do nicely with a drink, If
it was to be had. Whereupon the
peddler would agree to supply a flask
upon receiving a half-dollar consider
alton. The half would come up and
the peddler would reach into one OF
his pockets and hand over a flask. An
other would wish a flask, and so on.
Soon abe peddlers pockets would be
emptied and he would hustle back to
his base of supply and replenish his
pockets with TASKS. One peddler could
carry five or six TASKS at a time with
out attracting attention.
The prime mover in this artful dodge
is said to have had dozen lieutenants
out working for him in the Sunday
booze peddling business. He had laid
in whisky and gin wholesale and a
thriving trade was done in the rear
streets hard by the city's heart.
The facts. leaked out through the
desire of some of the sailors to secure
beer instead of hard stuff, and an argu-
ment occurred between a sailor and a
peddler on this account. The sailor
thought that the. peddler, if he could
secure spirits, could as easily procure
beer 1t was this fact that led to the
talking abroad of the peddling racket.
Warm Deer in flask wouldn't be po-
pular, of course, and it could hardly
be expected that the booze peddlers
were going to parade the streets with
bottled beer in a basket

to see such civilization, nor such

they found.

CONTEMPT CASE

through the citing of Henry Van Gle

The case mentioned was one in
which Van Giesen bought property be-
longing to a man named Male at a
sale for back taxes. paying a little
over 5000 for the land. Male then
brought suit ito have the sale set
aside and won his case in the local

represented up to this time by j. A.
Magoon, who took the case, accord

agreeing to accept a certain amount
if he won and nothing if he lost. w hen
the case was lost in the Supreme
Court, Magoon gave 1t up and Van

of the United States. on a brief which
he wrote himself. Here again he lost

According to Van Giesen's statement
he never got the money He says that
the money, when deposited, was grab

contract was not to get cent unless

HALL
BULLETIN
MAYOR AHEAD OF TIME-RoAD
CONTRACT sIGNED-RooM FOR
COX'S LEGS.

Mayor Fern is back in the city a
day sooner than expected. He left
the Congressional party, explaining
that he became tired of jumping from
place to place. There will be a meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors to-
tomorrow morning at IL O'Clock, which
the Mayor will attend.
His visits with the Congressional
party to Kauai and Hawaii have con-
WINGED him that Oahus road work sys-
tenn is the best in the Territory, with
Kauai close second, and Hawaii a
poor last.
During the Mayors absence from
town, his Office, the inner sanctuary
was to have been repainted retinted
and revarnished, but the painter fell
down miserably- and the job has not
yet been touched. Since the Mayor
acquired a 500 desk chair and three SIG
visitors chairs of the Roman type
that fit the form, they have made the
rest of the office look Slebian and the
Office, now, has to be fitted up to match
the chairs.
Now that the painter has fallen down
on his job he is likely to lose his con-
tract.
1t was suggested that the Mayor get
a Japanese to perform the operation,
but, though the Mayor gets shaved by
Japanese, he refuses to let Japa-
nese paint his sanctum. incidentally
there has been unjust criticism about
the Mayor patronizing a Japanese bar
Der, for the Japanese who shaves His
Honor and who shaved him long before
be became His Honor, is an American
citizen.
Mayor Fern has a birthday on Sat.
urday, September %. That day will
be the thirty-eighth anniversary of his
birth. The Hawaiian band will re-
mind him of the fact early in the
morning of the day mentioned. 1t is
understood that the band will have no
difficulty in securing permission from
the Supervisors, to serenade His
Honor.
Supervisor Coz is about to be the
recipient of surprise When the
Supervisorial desks were ordered there
was one short and Cox was given an
old desk that was not big enough tc
allow room for his legs. Now the
furniture dealer announces that the
seventh desk has arrived, with chair to
match, and at tomorrow's meeting
there will be room for Coxs legs.
Picanco & Wood showed up in the
County Clerks Office this morning and
presented their bonds for the Kaluanui
road contract, they and the City ant
County Clerk perfecting the agreement
Allen & Robinson are the bondsmen.
John Emmeluth buys out Woods in.
terest in the contracting firm.
Terror is striking at the hearts Of
the Supervisors in regard to demands
from various officers for typewriters
not for fair operators, but for machines
It seems that some half dozen City
and County officers want typewritint
machines, though the urgency is MOI
| evident in all cases.
1t is rumored in the corridors of the
City Hall that Mayor Fern on his birth
day will give the City Hall employees q
holiday.

PENEsY PAYS OUT MUCH MONEY

Figures just compiled covering the
operations of the various portions of the
Pennsylvania Railroad system, east and
west of Pittsburg, show that in 1908 these
lines paid out in wages the sum of Sl25,-
543,9 This represented wage reduc.
ton Of $29, All, ,95l, compared with $780,
0l5, ,895 expended in 1907. In that year
the companies employed 10000 men,
while in 1908 the number was 175, 600.
The rate of wages established for 1907,
which represented an increase Of 10 per
cent. over the rate paid during the greater
part Of 1905, vas maintained for all classes
of employees in 1908. By reason of the
lack Of business there we're some reduc-
tions in hours in 1908, which affected the
gross sums earned by certain classes of
employees, but no changes we're made in
rates Of pay. In 1907 the company paid
for labor sum equivalent TO AS per cent.
of its total earnings, and in 1908 wages
absorbed sum equal to 46 per cent. Of
the total.
