A TRIBUTE TO
KAUA
Paul le Normand de Bretteville,
who lost his life as the result of a
collision between a bicycle which
lie was riding and an automobile,
on Sunday morning, July 7, 1912,
was born in Honolulu i n Febru
ary, 1888. Paul was a dutiful son
and brother, always led an exem
plary life and as a result, was a
t'iPrite among his associates. His
catty life was spent with his pa
rents who came to Kauai while he
was yet quite young. Having once
entered Punahou College, he
became so earnest in his endeavors
to equip himself for his future
struggles, that he found little or
no time to take other than oc
casional visits to his Kauai home.
All through his college days, .his
closest chum was his only sister,
Miss Maud, who graduated with
him in the '09 class. Having been so
devoted to each other, the sudden
demisel enshrouded his life-time,
bosom companion, in inexpressible
grief.
Having finished college, he de
cided to follow commercial persuits,
finding employment as stenogra
pher with a leading Canning Co.
llis attention to business and per
sonal deportment at once stamped
Paul le Normand tie Brelleville,
who died as the result of an auto
mobile accident, July 7, in Hono
lulu. him as a keen-sighted young man,
and as the result, he had not long
been with his first employer when
he was offered an advancement by
Mr. Richard Cooke, of C. M.
ook Co. Ltd., which he accepted.
T3egining as stenographer he rapid
ly qualified for further advance
ment, and ere long became book
keeper At the time of his death,
he was the Company's most trust
ed employe, plans being under
way t o allow him full charge
of affairs during a contemplated
trip by the manager to ihe coast.
He had worked for the firm for
three years and three months, and
enjoyed a reputation gained only
by honesty and faithfulness to his
duty and friends.
Deceased was a devout member
of the Central Union Church, a
member of Hawaii N. G. Co. A.,
a member o f the Healani Boat
Club, and a member of the neigh
borhood Tenuis Club, being its
secretary a n d Treasurer at the
time of his death. He doted upon
athletics; he fairly breathed them.
Never an opportunity to enter into
athletic sports presented itself but
he hailed it with delight. During
his college days, he was a leading
spirit in football, his favorite
position being on the end. Of all
the sports, however, perhaps that
of canoeing appealed to him most
ly, and it was while en route to a
practice row with his crew that
the great, grim reaper, stalked
abroad and claimed him for his
own.
Weep, yc who sorrow for the dead,
TIiuh, breaking hearts their pain rvloiw,
And riiwrenml arc the tears they ulied,
And honored yo who grieve.
Tho prai-io of tlioo who deep in earth,
The pleasant memory of their worth,
Tim hope to meet when life in pa-t,
Shall lieal the tortured mind at last,
IiltVA.NT.
Blessed are they that mourn j for
they shall be comforted,
A LAW THAT'S
AL
Damage to the amount of fifty
dollars in a single day as a result
of a nonobservance of a law which
has existed since 1907, would in
dicate a necessity for either com
pelling the enforcement of the law
or the doing away with it entirely.
The law in question is that
which prohibits owners of stock
from turning it onto the highways.
Last year the matter was taken up,
but little came of it, and as the re
sult, the public roads are lined
with stock from Hacna to Mana.
Drivers of autos are in constant
dread as they round curves, lest
they come suddenly upon a cow or
horse, which in many instances
persists in remaining stationary in
the middle of the road until the
machine is brought to a stop. Last
Sunday night, a car from the Na
wiliwili Garage ran into a horse
near the Lihue school, smashing
his big lamp and injured t h e
radiator almost beyond repair.
If county government means to
sit calmly by and see an individual's
property damaged, with the full
knowledge of an existing law,
made by the County itself, for the
protection of its individuals, and
to make no attempt t o enforce
such law, then by all means gi
us a form of government
can carry out the law as
writ,
WISE SAYINGS
H. H. BRODIE. Can I cook?
Say, try one of these doughnuts
while I take the others up. Just
between ourselves, of course, I
will say there are few women who
can come any ways near putting
up the meal tliat I can.
V. D. MCBRYDE N o , we
don t eat all our pines. We simply
eat what we can, and can what we
can't.
M. J. PERIERA. Manager
Hansen will furnish the stone all
right. All we want is the road-
making outtit to anclior in our
midst.. The new culverts under
construction are held up for want
of stone for cement.
JUDGE HOFGAARD. No,
there is positively no truth in the
statement that my family fled to
the mountains because I shaved
my mustache. There is always
some one to become envious wlien
he sees a better looking man than
himself, hence the report which is
not true by a long shot.
EDITOR SHEBA On Kauai,
in reparing your roads, you employ
judgement and not politics as we
do in Honolulu. You put on your
oil only where it is needed instead
of slopping it all over the road.
ENGINEER BRANCH (wire
less station) We expect to have
the new plant ready for business
within a few months. We are
delayed now in the uonarrival of
the engine which will be used as
power generator until we get elec
tricity. HON. J. I. SILVA. No there
is no room for a third party here.
On Oahu of course they are so ac
customed to having such a variety
of politics it won't cut much ice.

Bits Of Convention Aftermath

a strong fight for it and missed it
by only one vote.
Thursday in online last by
special steamer Claudiue the great
convention host departed for Hono

the community. In a few hours
the village o f tents, the lanai

holiday occasion were gone. On

what has been.

Much credit is due the Lihue
people for the royal hospitality
which they extended to the con
vention and especially to the lead

the burden. With characteristic
grace and efficiency we have reason
to believe that no where else have
the delegates been treated
generously.

was the best game of the day, as
indicated by the close score of 4-3.
'The work of the home team was
the source of much praise, while
the fielding by the visitors was
most commendable. Although
weakened through the loss of Ho
nan, Makawcli still remains a
hard nut to crack, and still leads
as champ, of the second series.
