One fine summers morning that

his soul when 1t was rudely thrust
upon him once again by one of the
many letters facing him on the break
fast table.
OF late, he had taken an active in

fairs. It has been seen how his in
vestments in various industrial con-
Germs brought anything but happiness,
though, by some mockery Of fate, his
already ample means continued to
swell by leaps and bounds. He fond
ly imagined, however, that he would
be spared any contingent anxiety
when he took shares in small fish
ing company established in town on
the New England coast. But it was
not to be. Fortune, while giving with
one hand, smote relentlessly with the
other.
Thus, from a letter written in a
grabbed calligraphy, stared an ugly
legend. He did not know the writer,
but 1t was clear from the text that
this correspondent with dispensing
budget of news must be a skipper of
one Of the fishing boats operated by
the company. 1t read:
Dear Sir: You cannot be aware how
you are being swindled by Richard West,
manager Of the Emerson Fisheries COM

the company. feel sure 1t will be to your

Police Break Up
Big Chefa Game
Three Japanese Held Under Big
Bail-Claimed Evidence Is COnclu-
Sive-BOOks And Tickets Secured.

In the arrest, on Wednesday after.
noon, of three Japanese, Miyano, Mat
sumoto, and Nakahara, in Kahului, the
police believe that they have broken
up che-fa on Maui. According to Dep
uty Sheriff Ferreira the ring-leaders
of the game have been caught. The
bank was raided while the trio were
at work, and tickets, books, money,
and even the lucky word for the draw
ing were secured.
After spending one night in Jail, the
trio succeeded in giving the $500
bond demanded for each, and were re-
leased. They demanded a jury trial,
and the case will be tried in the cir
cult court within the next few weeks.
The bondsman for the alleged bankers
is j. Onishi, the Kahului merchant.

LENTEN SERVICES.

Wednesday, March Sth, being Ash
Wednesday, special services were
held at the Church of tn Good Shep-
herd, in the morning a 1890.
A celebration of the Holy Commun-
ion was preceded by the Ltany, and
Ash-Wednesday penitential office. In
a brief address, the Rev. c. Villiers
said that the object of Lent was not
for us to proclaim ourselves worse
than We are. but to save us from re-
ligion which exists only on the sur
face; to remind us afresh of the
great elemental and essential things
of our Christian faith; to recall the
soul to the note of conviction, and to
emphasize the fact thadn the last an
alysis, spiritual things are the things
of first importance in human life.
A special service with brief ad-
dress, will be held in the Church,
each Wednesday evening,at 7.3O, dur
ing Lent.

This Board Wants
Frequent AuditS

The board of supervisors has de-
cided that all county accounts should
be checked up at least every six
months, and accordingly it has adopt
ed resolution to this effect. The
resolution implies that the board
stands ready to help out in any ex-
pense incurred in doing this audit
ing. 1t was the lack of such cooper
alton on the part of previous boards
that prevented frequent auditings in
the past, according to the county
auditor, in explanation of the fact
that the books of the second circuit
court had not been audited for three
or four years at the time that Ed
mund Hart's alleged shortage came
to light. Since that time checking
has been started in county accounts
in Lahaina and other places.

The Pioneer Store, of Wailuku, has
been Incorporated with Paid in
capital stock of s25,O0O. Of this a.
mount 500, 10000 is fresh capital,

is held by the Enos family, the rest
having been quickly subscribed by
local citizens. C. d. Lufkin was
prime mover in the reorganization,
and is one Of the principal stockhold-
ers.
The Pioneer Store, formerly known
as the A. Enos store, has been one of
the successful mercantile enterprises
on Maui. 1t is at present under the

Sacred Cantata By Choral Club
Beautiful Scenery.

Owing to a severe cold,D. c.
Lindsay will be unable to sing in
the production of Queen Esther, at
the Paia Community House tomor-
row evening, and the important cha
racter, "Haman" will therefore be
taken by the Rev. Mr.. Pleasant of
Kahului. 1t was hoped until the last
day or two that Mr.. Lindsay would be
able to appear, but he finally decided
that this would be impossible. Mr..
Pleasant, who has been releasing
the part for some time, is expected
to do full credit to it.
The Choral Club members have
been working overtime during the
past week with reheasals, and N-
rector Baldwin is well pleased with
the results. Special scenery cos
tunes have been prepared for the
cantata. Mrs. G. G. White, as scenic
artist, is responsible for the throne
room scene, while Miss Alexa Won
Tempsky, assisted by Miss Aiken,
have produced a striking oriental
back-drop. F. c. Cameron is stage
carpenter. Mrs. E. C. Hayward is
accompanist.
The principal roles will be as fol

Championship Will
Be HOtly Contested
Saints And Waikapus Will Begin Clos
ing Series Sunday-FanS SaySaintS
Have Been Resting For Big Fight.

Next Sundays baseball game will
open the championship series of the
winter league. The teams trying for
this honor are the ST. Anthonys and
the Waikapus, the former having
won in the first series of games, and
the later in the second series just
ended. The game should be good
one, for though the Saints have not
been showing much force in the re-
cent series, the fans believe they
have been saving themselves for the
present championship contest. Ger
tain it is that BlacIie Kuehu, their
best pitcher, has not been on the
diamond much lately, but he will be
on the mound next Sunday. The
Waikapus have been doing some
good, consistent ball playing for the
most part, and with a considerable
portion of the fans they are favor
ties in the coming series.

again of the raw order, the first be-

Admits Theft But Will
Not Dig Up The Cash

All Chong, who runs coffee shop
at Hama, is mourning the loss of $3.50
and although he knows the man
who took the money, and the thief
in Jail, it is still doubtful whether he
will ever see his savings again.
Teo Flo, a Filipino arrested for the
crime, admits his guilt and showed
the police how he entered the room
of All Chong and carried out the
trunk which contained the treasure,
and later broke the receptacle open
and obtained the cash. He refused
to tell what he did with the money,
however, probably intending to serve
a prison sentence and then have the
cash to enjoy life on.

National Guard To
Have Socker Teams
Every Company Will Probably Be Rep
resented - Interest Growing In
Target Pratice.

Capt. Chillingworth, athletic officer
Of the 3rd regiment, is organizing a
number of association football teams
in the guard, it being the plan to
have a team for each company before
long. Socker has never been played
on Maui, but it is believed, that a
good deal of enthusiasm in the game
may be worked up.
Much interest is being manifested
in the target practice which has been
made possible with the partial COM
pletion of the rifle range below Wal
luku, in the sand hills. One double
target has been in place at the 200
yard range for several weeks, and
it is on this that the boys of the ma
tional guard are practising just at
present. Pits for the 600 and 1000
yard ranges are dug, and the targets
which have just arrived, will be
placed in position Immediately.
Last Sunday four members spent
several hours at the butts, firing two
sets each. The scores were: w. S.
Chillingworth, 46-46; G. N. Weight

LUMBER GOING UP

The price of norwest lumber was
advanced so per thousand feet the
first of this month by the Kahului
Railroad Company. This is the third
advance since the first of the year,
and dealers say it is by no means the
last. Lumber is said to be advanc-
ing on the coast, and the difficulty in
getting vessels to carry lumber car
goes, owing to the war is adding to
the scarcity of the product in the is
lands.
