the result that crowds packed the

There was no late arrivals. and

Of people ffled every inch of space,
sitting and standing, in that vast

1t was a friendly crowd-it did
not matter whether you knew any
one or not, you just talked to them
when the occasion arose. It was
neither firtatious nor bold-just
natural as one would converse with
ones intimates.

ed, but not too well dressed.
She was young, but not absurdly
young.
She was tall, 1.-THE, strong, handsome.
gorgeous with emotion, intoxicating
with the glamor of the limelight
Not Too Spontaneous.
1t will hardly do to swear an alibi
for this fair lady and declare that the
whole thing was spontaneous
1t was about as spontaneous as were
the speeches of the politicians. all Off
whom had their manuscripts right with
them.
A few orators started in with beautt-
full show of making an extemporaneous
speech. but soon they began to tumble
in the wark recesses of their pockets.
Hadley was too wise to resort to any
such subterfuge. and so he carried his
manuscript right in his hand, but never
referred to it, using it only for purposes
of confidence and gesture
1t was. a wonderful Desarte propo-
sition
Hadley is so wise that he knows the
only way to win is to get the politi-
clans a-guessing by being honest.
They can't understand it.

ladies just turned twenty eight are
never wholly ingenious
Woman wins her battles by subtle
psychology. She doesn't know how, and
couldn't analyze OF explain the matter
if called upon to do so. Feelings take
possession of her.
And She Started Something.
And so here was our Cook county

For three hours we had stood this

our leg. We wanted somebody to start
something.
Hadley came on and finished his
speech. Hadley knows how to make d
good finish. He was the only one in
the convention Marathon who hit the
tape good and strong.
Then the fair daughter of Illinois in

| This method has been used most sue
cessfnlly in the States. The almost
perpendicular walls on the sides OF
the gulch made this easy method OF
handling concrete possible.
On both sides there is Long lad
der, but il was a wearisome job for the
workmen to go up and down this even

rugged up, and men and materials 60
up and down on what the engineers
call their scenic railroad" 1t is a
rather startling experience to ride up
/ and down on that car, and one keeps
thinking what tumble it would be, if
the cable snapped.
Five hundred tons of structural
steel and iron are on their way for the
bridge work on the extension. Anoth-
e. bridge some 100 feet high will have
to be built beyond the big Maliko
bridge. This will be a small task
compared with the one now well I'M
der way. ..-
Superintendent J.. N. s. Williams
makes the trip to the bridge every lit
tie while, keeping close watch of all
the work. He is recognized as one of
the best of engineers in Hawaii. His
engineer in charge of the work is
James G. Foss, Jr = Professor J. NJ.
Young, on the staff of, the College of
Hawaii, is the consulting engineer. He
made trip to the bridge about three
weeks ago. and after looking over ev-
cry detail most carefully, expressed
himself as well pleased with what he
saw.
New Railroad Cut
The new railroad cut across the
road at Hamakuapoko Is Just belonw
the house of W. s. 'Nicoll. At this
point there is somewhat of cut. Fur
Their over toward Haiku one cut is As
fleet deep. There are several big fills,
one of which is about 1900 feet long.
Few realize the extent of the work
involved in building this extension.
The work has gone quietly along, but
the results are already showing up
big. There is slittle doubt that when
the railroad is complete many people
will take the train just for the sake of
seeing the newly developed country of
the pineapple region. The extension
will, of course, be of Infinite value to
the homestead region, and be great
factor also in developing further this
heretofore neglected portion of Maui.
The whole development of the Hal
ku and Pauwela homestead lands was
made possible by an exchange that
was arranged through the interest in
the proposition taken by the late Hon.
H. p. Baldwin of Maui and Governor
Walter F. Frear of Honolulu. The ar
.rangement was that 1900 acres of land
no longer useful for cane could be put
into pineapples, and 500 acres of a dry
and barren tract, useless for all other
purposes, could be turned into SPLEEN
did cane land by the bringing in new
ditch above the old tfields. The gov
eminent was the gamer and so, too,
was the plantation that gave up the
pineapple lands. The people of Maui
have been decidedly benefited by the
development of twa5 large tracts of
idle land, the employment of many
more people, the extension of the rail-
road, and, best of all, by the coming
of a score or more of splendid Ameri-
can families. ~ =. 10. =, s. TO- =. h

DEBS TAKES TEXT
FROM TRAMP ARMY

RENO, New, Sept Eugene ".
Debs, Socialist candidate for Presi-
dent, spoke at local theater tonight
to an audience which taxed the ca.
pacity of the building. His address
was confined for the most part to an
exposition of the doctrines of Social
ism, with few comments and COM
parsons on the part of the political
situation.
Mr.. Debs declared that the RepuD-
lican and Progressive parties repre-
scented the capitalistic class, the Dem.
ooratic the middle class, but the So
cialists represented the working class
exclusively.
The speaker referred to the tramp
problem, saying a tramp was q curl
osity up to 1873, and claimed that the
present army of them proves the fail
.ure of existing schemes OF govern.
ment policy.

ELEVATORS
BY GEORGE FITCH

An elevator is sort of passenger
skyrocket by which person can be
yanked off the earth and into cool-
er climate 40 stories above in less
time than 1t would take him to climb
three flights of stairs and mop his
forehead twice.
The elevator WAS invented in Amer
lea, which also produced the quick
lunch counter, the revolver, and other
time-sayers and 1t has enabled man to
colonize the air. Half a century ago
nobody lived more than 20 feet above
the grounds Nowadays men do bust
ness happily 700 feet aloft and dis
charge their office boys for stealing
eagles eggs off the fire escapes in
stead Of attending to business.
= Some elevators travel 300 feet a
minute, making stops at all way sta
lions, while others run. express to the
three dozenth floor at the rate of 800
feet minute, the passengers vital
organs following slightly behind. By
taking a local up four floors and
catching an express down to the city
proper, a hurried financier can leave
his office in the sunshine. slide down
through thunderstorm and borrow
an umbrella from 3 friend on the
sidewalk in less than minutes time.
Elevators are run by men and boys,
who are kept so busy that they do not
have time to take tips. This accounts
for the enormous popularity of this
ingenious continuance in this country.
Elevators occasionally fall, but not
as often as aeroplanes or brick
houses. They are not as dangerous as
street cars or instantaneous water

there would have been great damage,
and 1t is possible that the work would
have had to be done all over again in
the portions that were uncompleted.

No little danger was attached to the

eight men were caught in the debris.

he had his legs bruised. The anbu-
