SHOP OF KERSHNER
THE vULCANIZER

J. w. Kershner, the pioneer vulcan
izer of Honolulu, has recently incor-
porated his business and doubled his
working premises on Alakea street
near Beretania. In his larger quar-
tiers he has added materially to his
line of sIecialties and is now able to
turn out practically anything a person
may call for in the way of rubber
goods. Outer tires and interior cas-
ings for auto tires are, of course, his
principal item of work; but in addi-
ton he makes all sorts of things in
rubber and repairs anything of a rub
Der nature. No vulcanizing establish
ment in the islands is more complete
than that of Mr. Kershner, and few on
the mainland are better equipped.
Read the announcement of Mr.. Kersh-
ner on another page of this issue and
give him a call.

SHEPHERDS AND DOGS.

There is nothing more surprising to
anyone IMMERSED in the habits and cus-
toms of a shepherd than to be told
that shepherd knows every member
of his flock by sight. The WI. err was
talking on this subject in the spring
to a Sussex shepherd in charge of a
flock of perhaps a hundred and TWEEN
ty. "Ah," he said, yes, and if any or
them was to get into field among an
other flock, l could go and lick them
out" Many shepherds are deeply de-
pressed when their sheep are sold at
market. But the strongest link, OF
course, is between a shepherd and his
dog. James Gardner, the shepherd
whose saying on the shepherds life
Miss Gosset has taken for her first
page, wanted nothing more for happi.
ness, he would aver, than the warmth
of my home and the devotion of my
dogs" Here are few of his sayings
on dogs:
In every case a great dog bears a
deep resemblance to his master"
Il have never known a deceitful
man to have faithful dog"
When dog bites a man, that man
is sorely in need of chastisement."
"A shepherds dogs should all be
recognized as members of the family.
Such an arrangement makes life much
fuller and sweeter."
When my dog wakes from a dream,
| know from his look that have been
present in his dream"

a FEW THOUGHTS.

Here's a health to the girls I've had,
When l was a free and easy lad,
Here's a health to them all bedad
Ladies young and fair;
There was Kate" with winning smile
Eva" too, with faultless style;
To see my "Jane" I'd walk a mile,
Jane" with the tresses rare.
Sweet kitty" was the only" girl,
Until l met sweet lii" the Pearl,
Twas LII that had the kissing curl
That set my heart ahame;
Twas then / met my little Flo,
And once a gain my heart did glow,
And when I'd been a week her beau,
She said she'd change her name.
And then across my path one day,
Came pretty, winsome, smiling May,
"Oh this is where my heart Will stay
Said l to Jack Dee, Gee;
And there some how i met sweet 'Nell'
Again / wavered truth to tell,
This was the time l loved too WELL
And thought she, too, loved me.
Twas Nell" that made a fool of me,
Twas Nell" that made tool of me,
think in all sincerity;
Her heart was made o. wood
But though she pitched my heart away
Having tried II for one day,
often think OF Nell" and say,
Twas you that did me good.

LACKED EXPERIENCE.

A story which dates back to the last
Bryn Mawr horse show is being told
of very popular young woman. She
is an excellent tennis player, and can
paddle canoe most gracefully; but
the Bryn Mawr show was her first at
tendance at an exhibition of thorough
breds.
"Are you a good Judge of horse
flesh?" inquired one of her friends
from New York.
ooh, my dear, I don't know; I should
say not never tasted any," she
said.

GUAM MANILA CABLE WAS BROKEN

MANILA, August 4.-The CONNER
cial Pacific Gable Company an
nounced last evening that the cable
between Manila and Guam, which has
been out of commission since July 30,
had been repaired and that regular
rates between Manila and San Fran
cisco, via Guam, would at once be in
effect. Since the break in the line
from this city to Guam messages
have been sent to the latter place by
a triangular route, that is, from Ma
Mia to Shanghai, thence to zap, in
German New Guinea and from that
point to Guam.
The cable ship Pacific, which is
the station ship OF the company,
is expected to arrive here from Shang-
hal Saturday morning to coal, and
will then leave for her regular sta
ton, Shanghai
The public in Manila who have had
occasion to use the cable during the
interval will welcome the resumption
of regular rates, since of necessity

these were raised very perceptibly
on account of the route of messages
referred to. The cable ships crew
has been putting in some long hours
since the break whenever they could
do anything at all. A rough sea ut
terly precludes any repair work on
deep sea cables, and the officers and
men have been obliged to watch their
chances between the numerous ty-
phoons of the past three weeks.

In bringing it to the surface the big
wire sometimes parts just as it is
within a few feet of the surface,
this being caused by the terrific
strain. In that case, there is nothing
to do but to again grapple for both
the ends, instead of merely catching
hold of what is called at sea 'the
blight" or what landsmen would call
"the middle"

MEXICO FEARS REVOLT.
Calls Off independence Day Festivity
of Sent. 16.

Fear Of an uprising against the gov
eminent on the anniversary Of Mexi-
can independence, Sept. 16, will result
in almost all celebration being post
poned this year. The officials of Tor
reon, Gomez Palacio and Lerdo in the
state of Durango, have already order
ed that there shall be no celebration.
The Mexican government Is taking
active steps to curb the Socialists. For
scathing arraignments of President
Taft, King Alfonso and the Emperor
William Lazaro Gutierrez de Lara, the
Mexican Socialist who created SEN
sation in the United States by his iden-
tification with the articles on Bar
barous Mexico" is now behind the
bars in Torreon charged with insult
ing the heads of foreign governments.
He is the man who spent considerable
time in an FL Paso Jail for creating a
disturbance in the streets during the
late Mexican revolution. Also he was
arrested in Los Angeles and held for
exeradition for the Mexican govern
ment, but defeated the eXtradition eff
fort.

STYMIE is DOOMED.
Old Feature Of Golf Likely to Be

Old Feature Of Golf Likely to Be
Eliminated.
The gun fred recently in the west
tntimating a renewal Of the attack
upon the much abused stymie has been
heard with conflicting emotions in the
east. Just because well known
player in some important match hap
pens to lose hole at a critical point,
through being laid stymie, fails to
change a situation or condition that
has existed for generations, say the
loyal supporters of the old school.
When the rules of golf were drafted
the stymie became part and parcel Of
the game. 1t is still such. Even SO,
there are those who go so far as to say
that the stymie is doomed, and that it
is only matter of q year or two ere
1t will be banished in America.

Bloomfield Boy Eleven Years Old Be-
fore Fact Is Discovered.
The fact that the heart of eleven
year-old William Stevens of Bloom
field, N. J., is on the right side of his
body was revealed recently.
The boy has been complaining for
several days of a pain in his right side.
1t was at first believed by his parents
that the pain was due to a summer
complaint, and they administered
home remedies. These failed to give
relief, and physician was summoned.
He gave the boy thorough examina-
tion and declared that he found moth
ing wrong with his physical condition.
"There is just one other thing 1 can
do," remarked the physician, "and that
is to make careful test Of the heart" "
Then the doctor applied the stetho-
scope to the left side Of the boys body.
The boys breathing was regular, but
there was no heartbeat. The physi-
clan was puzzled for a moment, and
then he tried the instrument to the
right side.
"There are cases on record" he said,
"where the heart is on the right side"
1t was then that he made the dis
covery that the boys heart was not
where 1t should be.

DEAD AUTHOR WON
A SUFFRAGE PRIZE.
Miss Taylor's Hymn Accepted Two
Weeks After Her Demise.

A poem written by Miss Minetta
Theodore Taylor, educator and author,
of Greencastle, Ind, has been award
ed the 500 prize offered by the wom-
ans suffrage party of New York for
national suffrage anthem. Ninety
eight poems were submitted in the
contest, and the one accepted was sent
In by the author five days before her
death, two weeks ago.
The words, which have been copy
righted by the woman's suffrage par
ty, are as follows:
Once more awakes the spirit of the just
And worldwide flame is kindled from the
dust.
Women, for the right we know,
For the duty that we owe,
For all souls now here and coming, vote
we must.
CHORUS.
We the people! All the people! How 1t
ringsl
Justice broad and free, the living hoart of
things,
Sisters working for the light.
Brothers striving for the right
We the people! All the people! How 1t
rings!
Our voice is for wisdom of the free
Ever growing since our parents crossed
the sea,
Silence in the court of wrong
To the weakling must belong.
Let our spirits, strong and earnest, speak
and see
We are walking where the heroes all have
trod,
A weary way where we can only plod,
But we're toiling in the space
Where the martyrs took their place,
And our mighty shout is risen to our God.
Ye powers of evil, earth is not your own!
Women helping, you shall yet be over
thrown,
And better life shall rise
Than has gladdened human eyes,
And true peace shall blend the nations
into one.
Let US stand together, women, hard and
fast!
Let us vow to keep the faith until the
last!
By the truth the world has learned,
By the falsehood it has spurned,
We will vote and rise above the vanished
past.

Now and then little curiosity is
expressed as to whether the modern
pitchers have work enough to keep
them in good condition. This doesn't
refer to their physical condition. but
to their pitching condition.
The custom has grown upon man
ayers to shift pitchers in a hurry if
they happen TO be batted hard when
the game is close. For that reason
almost all ball teams are carrying
more pitchers in comparison with the
actual work that they do on a ball
field than they ever did.

New Australian Swimming Phenom.

lowing, which is given unblushingly:
For several years Australia has
been remarkable for the production of
fast swimmers, and the land of the
kangaroo has maintained its reputation
this season with another out and out
phenom. Unlike the Cavills, Kiernen,
Wickham and Beaurepaire, who took
more or less time to develop into the
championship class, this new man, or.
rather, boy, has earned record fame
at almost his first header into the
brine.
