THE THINGS THAT COUNT


(3y John D. Jeffery)
The harder you're thrown the higher
You bounce.
BE proud Of your blackened eye
1t isn't the fact that you're whipped
that counts,
But how did yon fight, and why3
And though you be done near to death,
what then2
If you battled the best you could,
If you played your part IN the world
Of men,
Then the critic will call It good.
Death comes with crawl, or comes
with a pounce;
And whether he's slow or spry.
II isn't the fact that you're whipped
that counts,
But how did you fight, and why?

PRISONER ESCAPES THOMAS
BELIEVED At LARGE IN THIS CITY

Some of the officers are inclined to
the opinion that the man made his
escape through large port, and beat
hasty retreat for the cityl.
Again, there is a well-defined senti-
ment on board that the prisoner has
never left the transport, and will
probably remain in hiding, aided by
one or more pals who are believed
travelling to the mainland in the
Thomas.
The escape created all sorts of ex-
citement on board the crowded troop
ship last evening. The getaway is
cne that has completely baffled the
officers and it will mean that extra
precaution will be exercised as the
vessel nears the port of San Francis
co, with a hope that the missing man
will be gathered into the strong arms
of the law again.
The Thomas is scheduled to sail for
the Coast at six o'clock this evening,
taking from this port Is additional
cabin, 6 second class and number of
troop passengers, destined for the
mainland.

exception could not be made in the
case Of one bank. The same rule was
made applicable to Porto Rico.
It was the original plan Of the pos
tai authorities ere to establish the
first savings bank at Hilo. 1t was
thought preferable to try the system
out at smaller place before opening
one in Honolulu. It is now beneyed
that when the time comes for opening

said Director Weed TO the Star-Bul-

vantages as are enjoyed by people IN
the States. Plans had been made to
carry out this intention with refer

possible to check up the accounts

Il hope that within year from this
time some way can be devised to
avoid this difficulty. Whenever II can
be done one or more postal savipgs
banks will be opened in Hawaii.

KILLS AGED
CHINAMAN
Especial star-Bulletln Aerograml


HILO, Aug. 5. - Lying beside the
HiIo railroad track midway between
Hi1o and Waiakea, the body of an
aged Chinaman was found shortly al
ter midnight last Saturday by con
ductor of the train.
A coroner's jury, after considering
the case, returned the verdict that
the man was killed by a train. The
evidence showed that he must have
been walking through the rain with
his umbrella down over his head when
struck by the train. His head and
face were horribly battered, the head
hanging to the neck only by a piece
of skin.
The body. It was brought out, was
left lying beside the track. with only
bag over the head, until 8 o'clock.
The jury recommended that the
railroad move the ties piled on both
sides OF the track, as this was the
second death IN the yicinitf.
