I Rot somo Japs and a ron plo of natives and went up nnd got a native to go In nnd bring the body out. It seems tho plantation had deen ut work up there getting ready to lean tho reservoir out and had dug it pit 10 feet dy 10 feet square dj r-nven feet dcop In the mud, look ing for tho 8-Inch pipe to let off tho water. It wns then dry The rain i-nino on nnd covored tho entire rcsci nlr with about ono and one-half rect of water, filling up this pit. Tho hoy must have been plajlng around In tho shallow water and walked Into this hole. At the time ho fell In tho pipe was open and the suction ot tho water must hnvo held him down, ns there wbb hut little wtucr coming out of the pipe when wo got there. Tho native brought him up tho first timo ho went itndc. for him. We had tno doily down nl the office dy 9:30 p. m., nil dono In about threo hours. It was n sad sight to see that little fellow's milk-white body drought out of the water In the moonlight nway up in the dark woods. It quite up set mo for 21 hours. I havo not seen any of tho family since. T As I wns walking down Fort street yesterday afternoon I saw a very charmingly dressed joung lady cross ing King street Unfortunntely, the heel of her shoe caught In the car track and wrenched the heel off, nt tho same time spialnlng her ankle. A friend of the lady happened along Just nt the time tho accident occur led. Whllo passing hy I heard tho following conversation: "Why don't jou suo the com pan J ?' "Whj-, no; I can get moro satis faction dy going over to Vlckcr's Re pair Shop on Union street nnd get my shoes repaired at onco at a reas onable price. It costs too much for a lawyer and takes too much tlmo." Tho moral ot this story is that It jou want to bo "wcel-hcoled," ceo lien. mm w tow in In spite ot Its being In tho mlddlo of tho Pacific, Honolulu prides herself on being upto-dato.
