who halls from the Evergreen Isle.
Lytton and Ruane are ex-army men,
both having belonged to the cavalry.
During their examination Deputy

asked Scheid what he would do in the
event of war between Germany and
the United States; would ne side with
the land of his birth or that of his
adoption Scheid said he would be an
American-but he hoped that the ne
cessity of choosing would never arise

this year The Knights of Oahu. Mys.
tic and William Mckinley lodges, es-
ctrted by the Uniform Rank Of the
order, lately reorganized, will march
from their hall to NuuaHu cemetery
in the morning and strew flowers over
the graves Of all their departed broth
ors buried there. This beautiful Gus.
tom has heretofore been carried Oit

be able to take part on that day this
year, on account of engagements in
other organizations, it was thought
best TO observe the custom on the
Sunday preceding. All knights in the
city and visiting brothers expected TO
meet at the hall tomorrow morning at
nine o'clock.

BROTHER
TAKES MEDICINE

There is Filipino at the U. S. I'M
migration station who, according to
the story going the rounds this morn
ing. is fast learning the lesson that
IT is best to take your medicine and
say nothing.
This gentleman was under orders to
take a small dose but when the time
came round shut his teeth and NUT
tered that he had other thoughts on
the matter.
For long time the officials tried
to persuade the Little Brown Brother
that if he did not take the contents
of the spoon he would be make" in
a very short time. There was nothing
doing, however, as visions of kahunas
or the Philippine equivalent, were
floating before his minds eye.
Come on, there's a good little boy"
pleaded the embryo nurse" Come
and take it's medicine for nursery.
Didums then" Stolid silence was the
result and further gritting of the
teeth
Suddenly an idea struck the nurse.
His attitude changed. Twisting his
face into all sorts of fierce shapes he
advanced on the Filipino Take your
medicine he raped out. Still moth
ing doing. Once again the order was
given but with the same result.
The nurses eyes narrowed to Sits,
his hand crept round to his hip peck
ct and the next minute tho Little
Brown Brother was looking down the
barrel of a gun 'Take your medi-
cine Kissed out the order and the
next minute it was slipping down to
where it would do most good
That the gun was empty never made
the slightest difference.

THROWN OUT
Continued from Page one)

morning solely because of the ten
children in the party, none of whom
is over five years old
This morning Kearns told them they
would have to leave at once. He point
ed out that the territory had taken
the best of care of them during the
illness of members of their party, and
that it's officials had done their best
to get them employment. They had
refused to take what was offered, so
he had no other recourse than to
eject them from the station and let
them hunt work for themselves.
Take your belongings and CO." he
said. a want nothing more to do
with you and have nothing more to
say"
Attaches of the station removed the
baggage of the malcontents to the
sidewalk where the women mounted
the trunks and cast wrathful objurga-
tons in Spanish on the immigrant
station and it's officials The men,
after some torrid harangues on the
subject of the famine in cigarettes,
went up town to interview the Span
ish consul. The little children wept.
Just what will become of the flock
is problematical. The Spanish consul
may find some way of caring for them
and secure them employment, but the
Territorial officials are firm in de-
claring that they have washed their
hands of the crew.

Rebuff Their Consul.

The men of the malcontent party
called upon the Spanish consul follow
ing their election from the station and
he hurried down to confer with Secre-
tary Kearns. The latter told him the
circumstances leading up to the ejec-
ton and the Consul agreed that the
Territorial officials had done all IN
their power and that the immigrants
were to blame
The Consul then went out and talked
to the members of the families camped
upon the sidewalk. He asked them II
they were willing 20 go to Hawaii next
Tuesday if work was secured there
for them. The men defiiantly replied
that they would not go anywhere that
either the Consul or the Territorial
officials wanted them to go. Thereon
the Consul told them he had done all
he could for them, and forthwith wash
ed his hands Of any further connection
with them.
At 3 DC ook this afternoon, the in
surgcn,s were still camped on the side

on the trunks in the hot sun and the
men lounging in the shade across the
