Charlie seemed to be lost In
thought for a moment. He didn't
like the name, but if he opposed
it his wife was sure to have her
way.
That's NICE he said present

Huh! Well, we'll call her

FOLLOW IT UP

Home Buying is already popular slogan
in Honolulu
/, "a Home Buying campaign, assproved by
last nights meeting, enlists the instant interest
and appreciation of the consumers in Honolulu,
and tits needless to say that the producers and
the sellers are vitality interested in it.
But the campaign will be of comparatively
little value If it is confined to massmeetines and
speeches To gain the effectiveness it deserves,
the idea must be placed before the people not
once but hundred times, not at one meeting
but daily, weekly, monthly, through the. year !.
1T will be winning campaign in proportion
as it is systenlatized and reduced to a concrete
plan for reaching every buyer with the adyan-
tages OF spending his or her money at home.

command the support of every member, of the

A. CASE FOR SYMPATHY.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: II people who are dissatis-
fled with life, and there are a good
many of this class, would visit the
sick. the hospitals, prisons, or the
tenements-places where suffering
and misery are to be foupd-they
perhaps. would better realize the
many blessings that they enjoy.
For instance, there have been many
bright young lives lost through neg
Iect, not to mention old ones, and not
a few of them having taken place in
places where one would expect better
treatment and which, if a little time
ly aid had been given, would IN all
probability be alive and happy today,
But the Saddest cases are often
those that live and suffer without
one single ray Of hope.
There are instances where men
have, in a moment, lost their sight,
their hands, or feet, or the use of
their limbs. and where the suffering
has been intense and the case al
most hopeless. There was one very
sad accident here in which a man
lost both feet and endured dreadful
suffering. both mental and physical,
which was dreadful to behold.
There S another very sad case at

THE SERIOUS CHARGE LEFT

Two of the three charges so far. made public
against Captain of Detectives McDuffie have.
apparently been cleared up with the result in the
officers favor; at least the developments of to-
day go to prove that McDuffie has not been
guilty of dishonesty or derelction of duty. There
Is a point involved in his wearing a ring that
Mas held by the police until the owner could be
found, but the point is so trivial that it has no
weight in supporting an accusation of maIfea-
ssnce in office, and merely goes to show the gen
eral Iaxity of administration at the police sta.
ton. %
The third and by far the most serious charge
is still to be settled This charge is that McDuf-
lie has shown 'groSs neglect" of duty in mot
only failing but refusing to make proper efforts
10 break up gambling games of the existence Of
tllich. he is declared to have been aware from
s|eeifie reports
This is the charge upon which the McDuffie
case so far as the public can learn really rests.
II is Incredible that the attorney generals Of
Zee. which has been working up the case against
MeDuffie, would make such a serious charge
without supporting evidence of an entirely diff

the Queens hospital at the present
time. This young man is a musician
who but recently arrived here, and
was shortly afterwards taken down
with a very strange kind of sickness
that the doctors cali relapse typhoid
fever. It seems that some of these
typhoid germs were left in his sys-
tenn from a former sickness and
they caused Assesses of such ma
lignant nature that they caused curV-
iture of the spine.
He Is still suffering with Assesses
and his body is encased in a plaster
cast and has been for nearly two
months with the hope of it straight
ening his spine.
Now anyone who has had to en-
dure this treatment, but for a single
day, will realize something Of the pain
and discomfort of being bound up in
this way for months.
This young man is now reduced to
but q shadow of his former self and
he is a most pitiful sight to behold.
What makes his case the more sad
is the fact that he is without means
and has a young wife who is enabled
to earn but a mere pittance and,
therefore, his outlook and prospects
are anything but bright.
This, as everyone knows, is a most
dreadful lingering disease, so it is
hard to say what will be the outcome
CT when he will be cured.
To one that came here flushed with
rope and filled with ambition, this Is
a great trial, and one which is de-
serving of sympathy.
There are many other sad cases
also deserving of sympathy, but which
few of them receive.
Very truly,
OBSERVER.
