WHEN A FELLOW DIES.

WHEN A FELLOW DIES.
I've noticed when fellow dies, no matter
what he's been
A sanity chap or one whose life was darkly
stepped in sin
His friends forget the bitter words they
spoke but yesterday,
And now they find a multitude of pretty
things to say.
l fancy when 1 go to rest some one will
bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act long buried
out of sight;
But, if its all the same to you, just give to
me instead
The bouquets while I'm living and the
knocking when I'm dead
Don't save your kisses to imprint upon my
marble brow,
While countless maledictions are hurled up
on me now;
Say just one kindly word to me while
mourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogy to carve
upon stone
What do l care if when I'm dead the Bloom
ingdale Gazette
Gives me write-up with cut in mourning
borders set;
1t will not fatter me bit, no matter what
is said
So kindly throw your bouquets now-knock
me when I'm dead
1t may be fine when one is dead, to have the
folks talk SO,
To have the flowers come in loads from rela
tives, you know;
1t may be nice to have these things from
those you leave behind,
But just as far as / IN concerned, [ really do
not mind
IN quite alive and we'll today, and while
linger here,
Lend me a helping hand at times-giv me
word Of cheer;
Just change the game little bit; just kindly
swap the decks,
For l will be no judge of flowers when I've
cashed in my checks.

account Of the seeming chaotic political con-

in yourself Vote your honest convictions
without fear or favor and there is no doubt

HANAPEPE SCHOOL
BIDS TURNED
DOWN
From One to Four Thousand
Dollars AboUe Appro-
priation.
WlLL DRAW NEW PLAN
Nearly FIUe Thousand DOL
lars Bid For Sanitary
Closets.
N6lLL DRAW NEW PLAN

At the meeting of the Loan Fund
Commission last Wednesday after
noon, bids for Hanapepe's new
school building were opened, there
being three bidders, two of whom
came within eight dollars of the
same amount. 7 h bids were
opened by Chairman McBryde and
were as follows:
Geo. Marshall, Honolulu S24, 500
c. B. Hofgaard, Waimea 1890
Mr.. Chaplin, Honolulu 21,982
The bid by Mr.. Marshall also
included bid on toilets, ETC., for
the sum of s., 500, while the bid
of Hofgaard & Co. allowed for the
construction of ordinary buildings
extra at the amount of their bid.
As the only difference between the
two last bidders was eight dollars,
and the. fact that Mr.. Chapin's bid
did not include these outbuildings,
it will be seen that our local firm
was in reality the lowest bidder.
q However, as the appropriation
{, Mounts TO but $4,000 the bids
were all turned down, and a reso-
ldtion passed for new specifications.
After the meeting, c. 7. Green
when asked if it were possible to cut
the expenses down to meet the
appropriation, replied that h e
only remedy he could think of was
to put in smaller beams, ETC., but
that it was his opinion that new
specifications should be drawn.
The general trend of opinion
concerning the affair was that the
present specifications called for a
building which could not be con-
struCted for the amount of the ap-
preparation. At pres t, the
thing is in the air and while it is
certain t h a the bids were all
consigned 0 the waste basket,
there is no one who can prophesy
what the next turn will be. Those

Pardon Asked for Present-Day lean Vatican
Thai His Daughter May Wed Men She Loves

Savannah, Ga.-Special. Governor
Joseph HI. Brown has again been PEI
titfoned to pardon Thomas Edgar
STRIPPING, alias Morris. convicted, es-
capped and ~recaptured murderer, one
time chief OF police OF Danviile. Va,
and. now confined In the state peni-
Tertiary for life In expiration OF his
crime. This time the petition comes
not In the form OF q voluminous roll
backed by scores OF signatures and
legal pleas-this last petition Is signed
by u man only, and the only plea
that accompanies Il Is the one invoked
by the little winged god of love.

80 years OF age, implores the governor
to pardon Stripping, not alone for
Stripling's sake, and the happiness OF
his faJnily, but In order that he

Strtpling's young daughter, Ruth May,
who acknowledges that she loves
Youngblood, but, because of a.prevtous
promise to her father, refuses to marry
as long as he wears the stripes Of a
felon.
AS STRIPPING Is himself. a compare
lively young man, and Is his sentence
Is for life, there is hardly n hope
for the happiness OF Eoungblood and
his sweetheart unless the heart OF the
governor Is softened into granting
Stripping a. pardon. IL Stripping lives
out his allotted time In prison the
girl Will long since have become an
old maid. Miss Stripping declares posi-
lively she will not wed without the
consent OF her father, or unless he Isl
Released
The story OF STRIPPING Is that Of a
modern Jean Vatican. He killed Will

kogee county, fifteen years ago, be-
cause on an alleged insult to his sis
ter. a young married woman. Cornett
was shot through the window OF hts
home. at night while he was prepar-
Ing for bed. Stripping pleaded that he
was justified in the killing because
his victim, known as a desperate char
acter. had threatened to shoot him on,

to life Imprisonment. Stripping was al
ready married, and the father Of two
children, both girls.

in hiding for some time, finally .go-

DOG MEAT is
WITH BA VARIANS

NewsYork-Specinl: Mrs. Elmer 4.
Black. president OF. the Economics club
Of New York, WHO spent the summer
abroad studying economics conditions In
the old countries, has just returned TO
New York, bringing the information
that the problem of high living cost ID
and; that In Munich the people have
developed a keen appetite for dog
meatzs& ~ ~ #gGt 80
The high cost OF living Is not an
American Institution, finds Mrs.
Black. I'm. Berlin, where wages are
lower than here and transportation
much cheaper, I found prices for food
stuffs just as high. as they are In New
York right now. The same is true of
london. With less money with which
to buy; the poor OF London are asked
as much as the poor Of New York.
tIn Munich / found "a municipal dog
slaughter. house, or at least a market
where dogs were killed for meat, I'M
der municipal inspection. They have
made dog meat popular there by per
suadipg the people that eating dogs
tends to prevent the spread Of tuber-
sculosis. 4. Z
The most practical idea 1 found
was the municipal wholesale auction
market In Hamburg. The farmers
bring in their products and the city
auetioneer puts 1t up to be bought by
the retailers. The middleman Is elimi-
mated and the real demand regulates
the price" =
Mrs. Black Is going TO get right to
work urging the establishment OF a
free open market in New York at a
point easily reached by farmers. She
