major had tried to take command.

VICTOR HUeo's ACACIA TREE
Planted In Childhood by Author, II
Has Just Been Saved From De-
struetlon In Paris.

An acacia tree, supposed to have
been planted by Victor Hugo in his
childhood has just been saved from de-
struction In Paris. The tree stands in
the Boulevard Raspail, and its tall,
curved trunk has long been familiar
to the inhabitants Of that quarter. a
short time ago a certain M. ChaFuin
bought the plot upon which 1t grew for
the purpose Of erecting a mansion.
The whole quarter was disturbed at
the news that tree of such traditions
was about to disappear.
When, however, NJ. Chaurfn heard
that his new mansion was likely to de-
molish the object Of YeneFation
with which he sympathized, he altered
his architectural plans spontaneously,
and built a semi-ciFcular frontage to
his house, just inclos!ng the acacia
within the ratings.
The association of it with Victor
Hugo is disputed by authorities on
that poets life, but one may feel
gratified that tradition retains sucl
vigorous life and that the marking
of places connected with famous men
is not yet purely municipal in Paris.

TEST OF TRUE HOSPITALITY
Army Officer Tells Of HIs Best Lesson
IN Cooking and Conduct a. .
Host.

The old army officer, distinguished
alike for his character and his high
position, had said to his fellow guests
at the little mountain camp that he re-
garded a knowledge Of cooking as
necessary accomplishment for a gen.
tleman and a soldier.
Let me tell you he continued,
where I received my drst and best
lesson in cooking, and In conduct at
the head of the table.
while was yet q very young man
had the good fortune to attract the
notice of an old French gentleman
who, with the remnant Of his for
mer large fortune, had come to the
neighborhood Of Petersburg, Virginia,
and established himself In & small cot
tage.
I'm this little home the dinIngEoom
and kitchen were separated By q par
tition that extended only I'VE feet
above the floor. AS monsieur was too
poor to afford q waiter or cook, he
himself performed the duties Of both.
"He often honored me- with an H.
Vftation to diner, and as I sat In the
dtning-room, waiting for the meal to
be served, I could see the old gentle
mans head bobbing up and down as
he tended his stew-pans In the kitch-
en-"
How awfuly funny!" said some
one, with a giggle.
ct never seemed in the least lu-
dicrous to me-" the old officer quietly
responded. After placing the dishes
upon the table. my old friend would
remove his apron, put on rusty dress
coat, and dispense the hospitality OF
his house with the sEace and dignity
OF prince"
'T understood! Noblesse oblige, and
all that sort Of thing" murmured the
giggler, contritely. "An the same
your old gentleman, ministering al
hidden affairs and practicing mystert
Gus rites behind that low partition
must have been something Of a char
| acter'"
The old oficer graVely assented
cone that it was a privilege to know,

ROTTEN BRIDGE
ISA Menace

A menace to safety of travellers and
likely to go down, precipitating fast
flying auto, filled with human freight,
into deep water is the dire prediction
coming from City and County Engi-
neer Whitehouse, concerning bridge
that spans swift-foWing stream near
Waikane
The Waikane bridge has been mat
ter over which the city and county SUI
pervisors have given much considera-
tion For months it has been declar-
ed unsafe. 1t will cost $500 to place
it in repair. Last night the Waikane
bridge problem was brought to the at
tention of the road committee, and
they have been empowered to act i'm
mediately
Whitehoase says the structure is
rotten, its timbers rapidly decaying
and that at no distant date,,an accident
will be recorded there.
The city and county fathers passed
upon the Honolulu road department
expense. account for June which total
ed $11,208.9S.
Residents apd petitioners along
Third Avenue, Kaimuki, ask that two
blocks of the upper end of the
tLoroughfare be widened, and to indi-
cate their anxiety in the matter, have
subscribed $125, to assist il defraying
the cost of the improvement.
Another complaint came in from
residents in Pauoa Valley, among the
signatures on the petition being that
of Judge S. B. Dole. 1t was pointed
out that nothing had been done to-
ward improving the road there foi
many years. Heavy hauling in rainy
weather was impossible The road
committee may decide to spend some
money there.
Mayor Fern turned in an expense
account of S72.52 for the maintain
ence of his auto for the month of
June.
The city fathers want another
steam roller, the claim being that all
the municipal machines are in use by
local contractors on city and county
roads. 1t will cost $3.50 to secure a
new roller. Mr.. James Lynch was an
interested spectator at the melting
when the contemplated purchase of a
machine was mooted.
Mrs. c. L. Wight has given notice
that she will withdraw her offer of
free land in upper Nuuanu Valley for
