When you pick up your daily
paper, gentle reader, and chuck
lie at some of ABE Martin S"
witty thrusts at the foibles and
follies of the day. does it ever
occur to YOU to wonder who wields
the stylus back of these able epi-
grams?
Kin Hubbard is the guilty par
tvs name. and Margaret Robe
Howard turns the spot light on
him in a rafting good story in
the September Human Life.
Like his friend and admirer.
James Whitcomb Riley. Hubbard
has had a most inteEestinc ca
reer, and not every bed on which
he has rested has been of roses.
The story of his ups and downs
is one of those stirring human
interest yarns that grip the at
tention right off. The accident
if there are such things that
rescued him from obscurity. how
he got his inspiration. his pc
culiar method of working-all
these things are exceedingly
readable and interesting to the
layman.
As to Abe Martin Mr.. Hub
bard describes him as "a COM
posite figure of male characters
encountered on an eight-day
whirlwind trip over Indiana with
Bryan. His prototype may be
found in any community in any
state in the Union where no rail-
road touches-indeed. he may be
found in towns boasting as many
as two roads for that matter
AS an indication of the extent
of Abe Martins popularity in
Indiana, it is to be noted that
about every known commodity
in the state has beeu named for
him. There are Abe Martin ci-
gars. overalls, cookies. whiskey,
porch furniture, lead pencils and
moving-picture theatres. and in
his own defence Abe has been
forced to plead that we never
judge tn man by tn cigar that's
named fer him." Human Life

Hadley Refuses to be a
Candidate for u. :.
Senator.
JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
Declines TO Quit Work Which

special Correspondence

special Correspondence
Jefferson City August 29-
Governor Hadley will not quit
the work of improving the gov
ernment of Missouri to take a
hand in the National politics.
That is the meaning of his de-
cision not to become a candidate
for United States Senator.
The Democrats are making
the tariff and national politics
paramount in Missouri this year.
Governor Hadley is making the
welfare of the state the para
mount consideration. He h as
drawn the line of battle and is
in the fight. While the Demo-
cratic nominees for congress and
candidates for the senate dis
cuss national issues with the Re-
publican candidates for congress
and the senate, Governor Hadley
will appeal to the people to elect
legislature favorable to the
policies pursued by his admins
tration- favorable to a greater
and better Missouri.
And he will give hearty sup
port to the candidacy Of the par
ty nominees for congress.
The Governor has been be-
sieged on every hand to become
a candidate for senator since
Mr.. Dickey declined, and more
eagerly have his friends urged
him to take that step since Sena-
tor Warner announced that he
cannot enter the race. That the
opportunity to go to the senate
was before him-that an open
door to the senate chamber was
before him-few men conversant
with political conditions in the
state seriously doubted. He him
self felt that he could be elected.
But there was an unsurmount-
able objection to such course.
He was elected in 1908 by the
votes of thousands of good citi-
zens who joined the Republicans
in supporting him because they
believed he would give the State
a better administration than his
Democratic opponent, and be-
cause they believed he would
carry out the policies outlined
in his public addresses. During
the first two years of his admin
istration he has justified this
expectation this confidence of
the people who supported him
for governor. But he has not
been able to do all he desired to

parade. The first prize was

The second prize was awarded

The next parade was the au-

1t was composed of fourteen ma

no doubt impressed some of the
visitors that prosperity reigned
in their former homes.

band furnished the music for the
three days. This is one of the
best bands in the state and the
music rendered by them was ap-

ANOTHER JA|lbREAk
IN BIC ISLAND CITY
FILIPINO HID UNDER WATER BUT
WAS FISHED OUT BY A GUARD
HAD ODD EXCUSE.

HILO. August 2.-Escapes Of prison
ers are becoming a standing event here
IN Hilo, and last week was no exception
in this line. Luckily as the prisoners
are gradually developing abilities in the
line Of running away, Deputy Sheriff
Fetter IS becoming a most expert track
er of such gentlemen, and the local
police are doing some stunts in this
direction which might wen serve as an
example to their brethren in Honolulu.
Last week s escape was made by a
Filipino, named IHano Maxine. who was
sent to jail last month for six months
on a charge of being a dizorderly per
son. He had been mixed up in cut
ting scrape in Puma.
Maxine, together with five other pris-
oners, was working at Sheriff Pua s
place at Wainaku. They were in charge
of luna named Ernest kaapuni. Al
about $3.50 o clock in the afternoon. so
Kaapuni told the police, he missed Ma
kino and on looking around for him he
saw the gentleman disappearing in the
Otiing.
Kaapuni Immediately telephoned to
the police station, and the Deputy Sher-
if with bunch of officers started out
on their usual picnic. Fetter went with
some officers up Piihonua way. while
other officers were sent in the direction
Of Wainaku.
The prisoner was first seen by two
officers about half a mIIe on the Wanna
ku side of Pua s residence. The mo-
ment the officers started in pursuit the
quarry took to the tall grass, and after
short but lively chase he suddenly
disappeared in a gully. Here the Off
GERS completely lost sight Of him, and
for a moment it looked as II Maxine
had vanished in thin air. But presently
the mystery was solved. In the bot
tom Of the gulch was a pool Of water,
and above the surface of this the nose
and top Of the head of the prisoner was
visible. He had completely immersed
himself in the water and merely had
his nose N the air water buffalo fashion.
Officer Eddie Kamoku gamelv hoped
into the water after his man. caught
him BY the leg and pulled him to the
bank. whence he was escorted to the
jail.
To Judge Swain, before whom the
Filipino appeared the next morning on
"a charge Of escaping, Maxine told an
affecting story. He said that as he was
working at the Pua's place his cousin
passed along the road, and he went over
and shook hands with him. After a
few minutes conversation the cousin
moved on, when Maxine "got foolish, -
and without knowing what he was do
ing he ran away. Judge Swain set the
defense down as temporary insanity,
or at least a Filipino version Of it, bat
nevertheless Maxine was handed a sen
tcnce Of imprisonment for one year, IN
addition to- the sentence which he was
already serving.
