Go to the places where women are
found
90 to the church and the show and
the street;
Keep your eyes open and looking
around
Look at the hats of the women you
meet.
One may be large and another one
small,
0ne like a basket ana one like
plate; ~
But there's a feature that's common
One little feather a-stieking up
straight.
Any old color black, brindle or
white
They are a mixture of this and
of that;
Some have the look of a booger at
night
More than the look Of a civilized
hat.
But when it comes to the finishing
touch,
This 1 am sure you have noticed
of late:
Mighty few ribbons and flowers and
such
Only feather a-stickin' up
straight.
One little feather that somebody
found
Where an old rooster had sicken-
ed and died,
Lording it over the landscape round
Like an old pine on bare hill
Fashion, we bow and acknowledge
thy rule,
Master alike of the small and the
great;
This is the mark of the feminine

(From Wednesday Advertiser,)
Under the sheltcring shade of the
historic kamani tree at the Oahu pri-
son John G. and Arthur +. Fielding
are taking life easy and wondering
what the rest Of the Island Of Oahu
and the Hawaiian Islands in general
look like. In the meantime detectives
are speeding from Chicago to take the
young men back TO the Windy City TO
answer charges of defrauding the
Royal, Bank Of Montreal.
The young men take their arrest phi
losophically and have no intention of
lighting extradition proceedings. II
Is the plan Of the young men, it was
stated yesterday, TO plead guilty to
the charges when they arrive in Chi.
cngo and look for clemeney under the
probation laws of Illinois.
Tailor Aseh says that the young men
are, model prisoners and II all his
guests at Hotel de Asch were as well
behaved and obliging he states that his
position at the County hostelry would
indeed be sineeure. 4
The Fielding brothers were arrested
