DECIDED ON VERDICT BY LOT

Substituting the goddess of chance
for the goddess OF justice, a jury Ia
the Honolulu circuit court a few days
ago drew lots to decide the fate OF
II Chinese charged with gambling.
The incident is without precedent In
the annals OF the courts OF Hawaii,
says the Wailuku (H. ~ Times. The
jurors were discharged by the court
and their action branded as illegal,
inexcusable and highly reprehenslble."
According 10 the story told in court,
the jury could not agree. Tired of the
prolonged and frultless efforts TO
reach a verdict, IL was suggested that
the baIloting he abandoned and that
they draw lots. Twenty.four slips OF
paper were prepared. II benring the
word Guilty" and 10 "Not guilty"
The slips were shaken up and drawn
from hat by the jurors, who had
agreed that the first l. slips Of one
kind drawn should determine the YER
diet. The "Not guilty" slips won and
a verdict of not guilty was conse-
quently returned.

MARTYR HELD IN REVERENCE
St catharine Occupies Exalted POSI-
ton in the Calendar Of the
Roman Catholic Church.

Among the earlier dates OF the Ro-
man Catholic calendar st. Catherine
holds an exalted position, both from
rank and intellectual abilities. Dur
Ing persecution Instituted by Emperor
Maximus III, ST. Catharine was mar
tyred, the tyrant reserving a more
cruel punishment for her than any OF
the rest OF his victims. She was
placed In a machine. composed OF four
wheels, connected and armed with
spikes so that the victim would be
torn 10 pieces as they revolved. A
miracle, IL is said, prevented the com
pletlon OF this project, as flash Of
lightning severed the chords with
which she was tied, SCATTERING the en-
CINE and killing the executioners.
Maxlmus ordered that she be carried
beyond the walls Of the city; scourged
and beheaded From the crcum-
stances relating 20 the wheel, the we'll

Our War With Mexico.

The Mexican war Of 1916 lasted
nearly two years. The first actual col
lIslon and bloodshed was on April 25,
1916, between a band Of Mexican
troops that had crossed the Rio Grande
and n company OF American soldiers.
On May II, 1916. President Polk sent
n special message 10 congress reciting
the facts and grievances, and said:
"As war exists, and, Notwithstanding
all our efforts to avoid II, exists by the
net OF Mexico herself, we are called
upon by every consideration Of duty
and patriotism TO yindicate with de-
ciSion the honor, the rights and the
interests OF our country" During 1916

Honey.

Honey is the best substitute for
sugar that has yet been found. In
deed, IL Is more than a substitute, Il
ls a real food Few people. unfortu-
nately know how to keep honey All
too often IL Is stored in an ice chest
or cold cellar. Under such condi.
lions Il Is almost certain to solidlfy

keep honey is on the top shelf In n
warm cupboard. II you find that Il
has hardened set the container In a
pan OF hot water until the contents
liquefy again. There Is little adultera-
ton OF honey these days. for adulter-

efficiency and Economy.
I'VE feel very certain that the 1919
sale OF Government securities can be
effected with much less expense and
more efficiently under the new ar
rangements". said Governor Void to-
day. Any lack OF results In the past
has been due to the fact that there
has been no central direction and no
well organized. continuous plan for
the sale OF these securities. As We
have planned the organization. which
will be directed after the first OF jan
uary by Mr.. Rogers. we are certain
that results will be obtained with
much less effort and without friction
which developed In some localities
during the past year.
THE Treasury Department at Wash
ington is working out a complete and
scientific national campaign TO In
duce thrift and the investment OF saw
ings in Government securities Our
district organization will have the
benefit OF the Governments work and
will adapt and put into operation such
parts of the plan as meet the condi-
lions In this territory.
I'VE appreciate the enthusiasm and
loyal efforts OF the men and women
who have worked untiringly 10 effect
the sale OF War Savings Stamps dur
ing the past year in the various states
OF this district. We know that with
the experience they have had and
with the aid OF new direction and ex-
perience they will be able to accom-
pIish very much more during the COM
ing months. While there is TO be an
other Liberty Loan drive. IL will be
necessary to put more steam behind
the sale OF Government Savings
Stamps than ever before. The Gov
eminent expects to realize $4,000, 000,-
900 from the sale OF Savings Stamps
during 1919. This is more than twice
the amount sold during 1918 and indi-
yiduals everywhere must realize that
the buying OF stamps is a paramount
duty"
Northwest VIII Not Fall
"The people OF the Northwest have
never failed to respond TO any call in
which their loyalty has been involved
and they will not fail now when asked
TO raise their share OF the money
needed by their Government to finish
the biggest Job ever undertaken by
any people" was the way in which
Chairman Rogers expressed his faith
in the outcome OF the 1919 campaign
for the sale OF Government securities.
Continuing, Mr.. Rogers said; "If I
did not have entire faith in the loyal
~ OF the people OF the Ninth District.
would not have accepted the added
responsibility OF directing the war
loan organization which is a combina-
ton OF the War Savings and Liberty
Loan activities. We have a big task
In front OF us. but know we are not

and women who have worked so earn
