sidered lmpertinence, but the
Joke Was on Him.

They were on their wedding tour,
and imagined that every civilty given
them related to their new condition OF
servitude.
Having stopped at a way station,
the bridegroom was approached by the
station agent, who asked:
Are you going to take the next
tratn?"
ITS none of your business" re-
Jed the bridegroom, Indignantly, as
dguided the bride up the platform,
SA1e they condoled with each other
over the impertinence of some Of the
natives. /
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. 1t was the last to
their destination that day-an express.
Nearer and nearer it came at full
speed; then in a moment it whizzed
past and was gone.
why in thunder didn't that train
stop" yelled the bridegroom.

DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS TIRED
Mr.. links Mean Insnuation When
Young Lady Dispossessed Him
of His Seat.

That was adding insult to injury"
said Representative Mann, the minor
ity leader of the heouse, apropos of
political sQuabble. 1t reminds me Of
young links.
Late one night young links sat in
crowded trolley car, and, when a
girl he knew got aboard and stood d.
rectly in front of him, he made no
sign. His face hidden by his newspa-
per, he pretended that he didn't know
the girl would like to have his seat"
After awhile she spoke.
Good evening Mr. Jinks'
why, good evening.
I've been TO the Primrose social
dance
Indeed
Then, after q pause, she added;
Its a wonder, Mr.. Jinks, you
wouldn't offer me your seat!
links then got up He was very
angry. He said. as he hooked himself
to a strap:
81 thought you wouldn't want It;
for, as you said you'd been to a dance,
l knew you must have been sitting all
the evening"

When a man Is jolly bachelor of
four clubs-when he is liberal with
his money and is Familiarity called
Fred by every one, how is any one
going to take him seriously? 1t
can't be done. He can not get credit
for being more than half in earnest
Such a man was Fred NeYins, and
now and then he found it embarrass-
ing not to be credited with serious
ness.
When he dropped in to see the
widow Dareforth one afternoon and
offer her his hand and heart, it was
rather embarrassing to receive the
reply:
It's a matter you just happened
to think OF"
"'Pon my soul. but have loved you
for-for-"
For thirty long seconds"
For a whole year"
Poor man! How you must have
thrashed around nights"
But won't you believe me?"
NO, sir. Even if I did, l should
say no"
But what's the trouble?"
''Mr. Nevins, | married one lah-de-
dab man, and l don't want another
II I marry again, it won't be a sissy.
You've got money and you've got
brains, and you are throwing them
both away. You are a nonentity out
side your circle"
"Oh, it's that I'm not in a profess
sion or working at a trade?" he
queried.
Just that Just idling your time
away. Just being sissy of a man.
You may find some women to marry
you, but l sha'nt credit her with
good sense"
"By George! but l don't amount to
much, do -" laughed Fred. Come to
think of It, l ought to seek a job at
something"
And be told that you couldn't
earn ten dollars week.
Perhaps. Say, now, I'm going to
be different. I'm going to make a
new start. Let's see what l can go

One Of the most prominent college
professors took unto himself as wife
very charming and highly cultured
German lady who is exquisitely par
ticular about all small matters.
Several years ago, just after she had
come to live in this country, she was
ever on the qui vive for new forms Of
expression.
One night the professor came home
worn out with the troubles OF
commencement AS he was dress
ing to attend a very formal reception
he remarked:
Il wish we weren't going to this
shindig."
"Shindig," repeated his wife; what
is that?'
It's the sort of thing we're 60
ing to tonight" answered her hus-
band
At the close of very enjoyable
evening the professor heard his wife
saying: 20, Mrs R, have so much
enjoyed your shindig. Harper MAJ

Count Luigi was an Italian count.
He owned castles in Italy. Some

on the seashore. where the roar Of
the mad waters could be heard as a
count sat in his library and smoked
and slipped a cocktail.
Count Luigi wanted wife, but not
rich one. The poorer she was the

his tens of millions far more. or

loved by a rich woman he would
have to make the best of it. but

PlMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

MY troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form OF small eruptions and
itching and kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass OF
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that l could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
OF big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot Of blood.

for nearly three years and l was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed l was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on chair. l was
finally given a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside Of two weeks l
could see and feel a great relief.

sanitarium at Kula, has received word
of the death of his mother recently at
her home in Washington, D. c. He

said TO be soaring by leaps and
bounds.
immigration Agent Brown Has
Troubles.

Brown, the Territorial immigration
agent, while in London" stated Mr.
I Kennedy. MIR. Brown and myself
! were residing in the same neighbor-
hood. All can say is that the Ter
ritorial agent also has his troubles in
securing available tonnage TO trans
port Portuguese and Spanish immi.
grants to Hawaii"
In this connection ii was said that
where a year ago a number of suit
able steamers were available at fair
rates, London and continental ship
brokers are now unable to find a
vessel at anything like the same fig
ure. 1t is possible that with the pre-
vailing scarcity of ships and the rise
| in charters, the Territory will be
| obliged to resort TO such steamers as
are taking on cargOes of fertilizer and
general European merchandise at con-
tinental ports, for the transportation
Of immigrants.
The Harrison Direct Line, whose
vessels now call about every sixty
days at Honolulu, has been mention
ed as a line that might be available
for the movement Of immigrants.
