HARD times FOR
LOVERS OF HIL0

Especial Bulletin Correspondence
HlLO, April 24-That the course Of
true love does occasionally strike as
bunny path as the road between
lIilO and Papalkou is demonstrated
by the troubles which have been en-
countered by a couple of Japanese
from Kona, who have had severe
bunch OF tribulations during the past
couple of weeks. Deputy County At
eorney Heen who handled the prose-
cution Of the case, last week gave
the allegations Of the prosecution
about as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Takahashi lived hap
PLY together in Kona, having been
married for the trifiing period of some
nineteen years, when one Akioka APP
peared on the scene and captured. the
affections of Mrs. Takahashi. They
agreed to flee to some place where
they could love in peace. and accord
ingly an elopement was planned and
was carried into execution on or about
March 8. The AFFAIR was carried out
In the most up-to-date manner. The
wife met the young man under some
ohia trees, where was also waiting an
automobile in which the lovers hied
themselves to Olaa, where they took
lodgings in a japanese house located
In remote spot near Thirteen Miles.
The following day Takahashf dis
covered that his wife had fed. and
he Immediately set ont. also in an
automobile, to catch her. But he
made "A bad guess as to the direc-
ton taken by the erring couple. and
started of in exactly the opposite d.
rection, finally finding himself at Ka-
waihae. In the meantime the police
had been notified, and some very
good work was done In locating the
lovers. AS soon as this had been
done, word was sent to Takahashi,
who Immediately came to Hilo, where
the lovers had been brought. bringing
with him Deputy Sheriff Nahale OF
Kona
In the mean time. according to the
story OF the authorizes. the lovers had
become aware Of the fact that the
police were on their trail. In order 10
get out of trouble they seem, in their
ignorance, to have made matters a
good bit worse by getting married
Judge Wise performing the ceremony
The consequence was that both par
ties were finally arrested on charges
of adultery. and in addition thereto
| a charge of blgamy was placed
against the lady, the cases coming NJ
before Judge Ferry at Olaa last Fri
day. The defendants were founf
guilty on the adultery charge, whilt
the hearing of the bigamy case was
postponed for two weeks owing to the
fact that Deputy County Attorney
Heen was compelled to go TO Kona.

Very often on the dressing table the
clothes brush with plain wooden
handle is the only unattractive article
TO be seen. silver backed brushes al
ways have bristles too soft to be of
practical use, and the plain ones with
stiff bristles are within the reach OF
even the modest purse.
A good way TO bring them into har-

er the backs OF such brushes with bro
cade or broche silk.
Sandpaper the wood so II will retain
mucilage. Have the silk cut the exact
size and shape OF the brush's back
and paste IT on very smoothly. Finish
the edge, after It is dry. with narrow
