had turned the town clock back ar
various times enough to effect the loss
of a day. Therefore the date appoint
ed for the hanging would be the day
after that named in the sentence.
The Judge was puzzled. Taking q
quill pen, he began to make figures.
He figured awhile. when a fellow
townsman came in. and. having heard
the problem as to whether the setting
back Of the clock had lost the town a
day. he. too. began to figure. One by
one the citizens came in till the room
was full of persons driving quill pens
with a view to working out the prob
lem. At midnight. since there was no
result. the judge issued a stay for the
hanging, and the mex day the figuring
| went on.
At the end of Is week the Judge sent
to the university at Heidelberg for a
professor of mathematics and astrono-
my to come to Stuttgart and tell the
Stuttgartians whether Gobel if hanged
as sentenced would have been illegally
executed-in other words, whether by
the setting back Of the clock a day had
been lost.
The professor came and told the
%burghers that a day had not been lost.
but when he attempted to prove his
words he found his listeners too thick
headed to understand him.
The Stuttgartians after the profess
sor's departure began to wrangle
among themselves, some believing
what he had told them, others stead
fast in their opinion that a day had
been lost. But all agreed that a new
day should be fixed for the hanging
and a guard meanwhile placed around
the clock tower. From opinions they
came to blows, and a fight was on
when who should come sauntering
along, looking like a frightened cur,
but the murdered man! He said that
the ghost of his grandfather had told
him to go away and stay away for a
month.
The people crossed themselves and
set Gobel at liberty.

MANAGER ATZ SELLS PLAY-
Err FOR is CENTS.

A queer deal was pulled off by
Jack Dunn and Jakey Atz. the
Baltimore and Providence man
ayers. recently. They were talk
ing about Pitcher Pierce. How
much would you give for hi:n?"
asked Atz. "Oh, | wouldn't go
higher than 10 cents" came back
Dunn.
Taken" said Atz, and he made
out an agreement, which both
managers signed. Dunn handed
over the Is cents. Atz looked at
it for a moment and then said:
Here. Jack; I've never skinned
any one yet. Take this back and
I'll give you a bonus of IS cents"
The Providence owners, how
ever, refused to ratify the agree
ment.

The credit for the perfection of ar

the luau, however, was not part Of
his campaign, He gave up his time
for several days to get the feast

TO
HOLD MONSTER
LAIE RALLY

Windward Oahu, of which Laie is
probably the capital city, will on Sal
Urday welcome a monster luau and
mass meeting arranged by the Re-
publican campaign managers. Free
railroad train, auto and stage trans
portation will be afforded all who de-
sire to go to the big doings, from
Waialua and all along the line.
A special train will leave Waialua
and will be provided with as many
extra cars as are found necessary to
accommodate the Waialua throng
bound toward Laie. 1t has been al
ranged with the Koolau Railroad to
pick up along its line all persons who
want to join in the feasting and mass
meeting. Efforts are now being
made TO supply motOrtrucks and
stages to run between Libby ,McNeill's
pineapple cannery and the scene of
the celebration All who avail them
selves of the careful provisions made
for their transportation and comfort
need not worry about getting back to
their homes, for they will be con-
veyed in the manner in which they
went. r.. .-.' , ..
Complete plans have been laid for
a sumptuous repast at ,Laie, and there
will be good music to enliven the
evening between the speeches of the
popular Republican candidates. With
rousing speeches, stirring music and
the delicacies that will adorn the luau
tables, not to mention the free trans
portation both ways, there is indeed
treat in store for the windward
Oahuans on Saturday night Besides
the pleasant things above referred to,
there will be moving pictures to de-
light the children as. we'll as the
grownups, to please the future voters
as we'll as the voters of today.
The Republican candidates who are
to address this great throng at Laie
on Saturday night will leave Homo
lulu at $3.50 in the afternoon, reach
ing Waialua at $40. The mass meet
ing will open at Laie about Z O'Clock
and the free transportation will have
folks home about midnight. g.

checo and Lester Petrie spoke briefly.
The campaign cry OF the Republicans
that Sam Parker should have the
preference over Joe Fern for mayor
because he was better educated, was
brought to the audiences attention
several times and answered.
SOapbOX Barron, in his usual style,
referred to this matter and recited:
Il was in San Francisco recently at
the same time that Sam Parker was
there. A barrel of poi was sent to
him at the Hotel Stewart. ! expected
to get some of that poi, but ! didn't.
The hotel employees thought it was
paste and it was all used to hang
wall paper in the hotel. Parker didn't
get any of it, either. Now, if he had
real intelligence that wouldn't have
happened"
At another point Barron exclaim.
ed fervidly: 81 can't do enough,
can't say enough against these Re-
publicans" He may not have meant
1t that way. but the audience caught
the idea and laughed uproarously.
At the Democratic meeting at Lii
liha and Wyllie streets, E. H. F. VOL
tiers, candidate for the Board Of Su-
perVisors, prophesied that the Repub-
lican stronghold at Laie, on the wind
ward side of the island, would be
dissipated at the coming election. OF
Sam Parker he said that the Repub-
hcan mayoralty nominee spends too
much of his time on the mainland TO
be conversant with local home prob
lens, and that he gives luaus, but not
to the proletariat; he feeds only his
friends - the rich - declared the
speaker. Several hundred persons at
tended the meeting, listening to and
cheering the Jeffersonian orators.

MOSQUITOES AND
BANANAS ARE
DISCUSSED

THE Republican party says it does
things" shouted r. J. Ryan 20 the
crowd Of several hundred lJei, wo-
p,eH and children assembled around
the Democratic rostrum scross the
s,ieet from the Magoon E PIX las
night. I'll tell you some of The
things the Republicans have done. "
"They paid an. attorney $i,"0" n
month to help sell the bond issue a
year ago; they organized a IaosTIitc
campaign, let out a yelp about the
yellow fever, slashed down all your
bananas and proceeded to diyiHe SI3,'
900 of your tax money among their
Republican henchmen; they passed a
bill taking away the rights Of Homo
lulu as a city and turning it over To
the Territory, and Governor Frear
signed this bill.
When Secretary Of the Interior
Fisher was here he Vas told the cir
cumstances surrounding this meas
ure--how the Legislature had DELHI
erately robbed the city and the Gov
ernor had acquiesced. and tie Secre-
tary said frankly that he was aston
ished at it--astonisheG at .suca action
by a supposedly intelligent body OF
men and at its approval by man OF
Frear's education and otherwise high
standing" IN
Ryan further delighted his hearers
by a description of the MOSQUITO cam
paign. He said the authorizes had
to hang their fears ON something
tangible. so they finally fouaG poor,
lone, sick man, whom they, after
careful examination, proclaimed TO be
q yellow fever victim. Then they ad.
lnitted that not all mosquitoes were
carriers OF this disease germ; that the
particular, dangerous breed might be
known by the yellow streak down
the inside of the left hind Leg" and
that, after long and careful search,
they claimed to have found an insect
of this species. They stuck The cur
ious monstrosity in their book Of ex-
hibits and made much of 1t, he said,
hut some time later "a Missourian,"
on inspecting the bird" discovered
that the yellow stripe down the in.
SIDE of the left hind leg must have
heen hand-painted. because 1t had
disappeared.
The Kakaako crowd displayed
great sympathy for the Democratic
speakers and their cause, applauding
yociterously at each point.

cratic supervisor during the last four
years, urged the voters to show their,
approval of Joe Fern as mayor by

Mrs. j. M. Dowsett, president of the
women's suffrage association, prefers
the use of the word "suffragist" rati-
er than "suffragette" to describe the
members of the movement here. The
word ''suffragette," she says, has the
militant intimation of the window
smashing, briek-throwing type, so
common in England.

Railroad Agency Plan.

At meeting of the traffic and oper-
ating officials of the Frisco, June 4, In
the office of w. c. Nixon, vice presi-
dent, 1t was decided, effective July !,
that the agency plan shall be extended
over all of the divisions Of the Frisco.
This, as explained by Mr. Nixon, is
but a return to the railroad situation
in the early days when the agent was
not hampered by a multiplicity OF
duties and able to solicit business and
act with authority for the railroad in
many matters which are now referred
to higher officials.
Under the plan which has been
adopted, by the Frisco the agents will
be supplied with additional help
where needed, in order that they may
be actively engaged in the solicita-
ton OF business, settle personally the
losses OF certain classes OF claims, rep
resent the company in its industrial
development and in practically every
way deal with all problems between
the public and the railroad without
referring them to higher official.
The superintendents Will be held re-
sponsible for securing traffic on the
Frisco and will be able to act with
executive authority upon practically
everything on the division. Certain
minor details will be worked out by
committee appointed by Mr. Nixon.
In addition to the superintendents
and many traffic officials at the con-
ference. w. B. Biddl.e vice president,
traffic; A. Douglas, vice president and
general auditor; f. II. Hamilton. sec
retary and treasurer; and w. f.
Evans, general counsel, were present.
The operating officials were entertain
ed at dinner at the Jefferson Hotel by
Mr. Nixon.

IS ALWAYS sohE CELEBRITY
Nobody Ever Recalls That in Previous
incarnation He Was Hum
Bile Person.

DR.. Julia Sears, head Of the New
Thought School," says: There are
enough people on the planet today who
remember one or more Of their incar-
nations to make it a certainty that re-
incarnation is a positive fact"
All right, doctor; we'll add this to
our list Of positive facts, which is al
ready become somewhat unwieldly.
Still, there is a question which has been
puzzling us good while, and we now
make bold to ask: Why is It that,
among all those people who remem-
Der one or more Of their incarnations,
not one can remember being an hod
carrier an undertaker's assistant, or
an Office boy in soap factory? There
Is strong tendency to run toward
royal families, court musicians, and
philosophers. Two or three persons
can distinctly remember having been
Joan of Arc, and the number of rein
carnated Napoleons and Louis Four
teenths is growing all the time. But
the man we are anxious to meet Is
the chap who can remember with
pleasure his incarnation as the
brawny white wings" who pushed tn
scoop around the arena of the Roman
Coliseum after the show was over and
the animals retired, or the employe of
the Imperial Health Department
whose duty it was to descend into the
Cloaca Maxima when it got clogged.
Another New Thought which comes
at this moment is In connection with
the statement of DIR. Sears that she
was the Italian singer Marsha 400
years ago, was bitterly discontented,
and now she longs to sing and cannot.
There's matter for rumination in this.
We shall hurry away now to tell the
young woman in the apartment ad-
Joining ours that the reason she longs
to sing, or thinks she can sing, and
cannot, is because she had sweet
pipe several hundred years ago and
didn't make the most of it.-Puck.
