SATURDAY.
JUNE 29, 1912
The criminal negligence of Captain Bennett, master of the Matson
liner Honolulan, came mighty close to causing a terrible accident in
Honolull harbor Wednesday morning. The Honolulan and the Mauna
Kea were scheduled to sail at the same hour. The Mauna Kea
with her usual promptness cleared from the slip sharp on the
hour. Just as she swung clear, the passengeis were startled to see the
prow of the huge liner pushing out of her birth. The Mauna Kea was
well out into the stream, and her course lay directly in the path of the
Honolulan. vaptain Freeman thought as did everyone on board
that the liner would wait until the smaller vessel had passed. Instead,
on came the prow of the huge ship, sounding her whistle to get out of
the way. Captain Freeman was quick to act, but even then for a time
it was thought impossible to avert an accident. With the Mauna Kea
going full speed ahead, however, the sharp prow of the Honolulan
missed her only by a few feet. These are facts which cannot be denied,
as more than one camera on board the boats were snapped just as the
ships passed. Call it what you will, this action on the part of the cap
tain of the Honolulan shows an absolute disregard for the safety of the
traveling public. He saw the danger, and instead of stopping his ship,
he blew his whistle. A strong arm is needed on the Honolulu water
front, as accidents are becoming altogether too frequent, and this last,
which was averted only by a hairsbreadth, would undoubledly have re
sulted in a serious loss of Hfe.
When; There Will Be Time.
(By E. V. Wilcox, in Crossroads )
A FEW stray, simple thoughts we learn to read
In God's great copy-book of boundless lore;
A few weak steps we take along the way,
A few small burdens bear, then lay them down.
A few bright flashes of eternal truth,
A blinding vision from the far beyond;
Then Clouds through which no rays of light may come
And films of tears upon the failing eyes.
A few small structures, built upon the sands,
We view with childlike eyes, and call them good;
Then comes the vortex of devouring winds,
And rends our playthings into shreds of dreams
A few dear playmates share our games with us,
And grow into the fiber of our soul;
Then conies the final parting of the ways,
And what is left can never more be whole.
A few salt tears we dry with comfort's wand,
A few sore wounds we heal with willing hands;
Then stab fresh wounds and start the tears anew
By thoughtless word and moral surgery.
No time to mend the fabric we have torn,
No time to solve the scars our hate has burned,
No time to bid the ugly word return,
No time to make the incompleteness whole.

SPOILED A GOOD SCHEME.
f Pet Had Only Had Hia Own Way It
Might Have Won.
Grand Central Pete was a noted
bunko steerer of the old days. -but hi'
;ould neither read uor write. Once
be fell upon bard times, and be and
rounder but equally luckless confi
dence man undertook to beat their
way on a freight train to Washington.
A hrakeman kicked tbem off at Tren
ton. It was petting late, and neither of
them bad n rent. Across the tracks
from where they bad landed was a
good looking hotel, and right next
door wus un express office. Grand
Central IVte had an Idea. He went
Into the express office, borrowed one
of the lure manlla envelopes such as
are used for transporting currency,
filled the envelope with pieces of
newspaper cut to the size of bank
notes and sealed It carefully.
"Now. then," he said to bis partner,
"you take your fountain pen and write
on the back of that envelope $9,000.
Then we'll go over to that hotel and
explain that we've lost our baggage,
and I'll hand this envelope to the
clerk and ask him to lock It In the
safe. He'll look at the figure on the
back, and he'll take ns for moneyed
guys and give us rooms and grub un
til we can raise a stake."
The scheme sounded good to the
younger man. He got out bis pen and
obeyed orders. Grand Central Pete
took the envelope back In bis bands
and examined It carefuUy.
"Does that say $9,000?" be demanded.
"Yep." said his psrrnw
"Well. It don't look big enough to
me." said Pete. "You'd better add on
some more of them naughts."
The younger con man protested, but
Pete wouM have bis way and kept
after him until (he educated one bad
tacked on three more naughts, making
the grand total $9,000,000.
Then Pete marched grandly over to
the hotel, registered for himself and
his friend, passed the stuffed envelope
across the desk to the clerk and called
for the bridal suit.
The clerk took one look at the en
velope, another look at the soiled faces
and shabby apparel of the newcomers
and rang the bell for the bouse
bouncer. A minute later the discom
fited pair were sitting on the side
walk. Grand Central Pete raised himself
painfully and eyed his companion with
a scornful, angry glance.
"There, now!" he shouted. "I told
you you hadn't wrote enough of them
naughts!" Philadelphia Saturday
