Aching Heads Are Bad for Business
No one can transact business properly when his head is fairly splitting
with pain.
No saleswoman or salesman can give satisfactory attention to customers
when suffering from this torture.
Business of every kind today demands clear-headed consideration freedom
from disturbance as far as possible and the aching head is a hindrance.
Yon can assure yourself certain relief from headaches by taking
Stearns Headache Wafers
One dose cures and you do not want it again until anotner Headache comes;
then von take it because you know what it will do for you. It is free from
habit-forming; drugs. .
Justice to yourself demands that you get STEARNS' the genuine.
A Chinaman lay dreaming in his
bunk in a small tenement in China
town, back of Wo Fat's restaurant,
yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock.
He was aroused by a slight noise in
the room, and upon opening his eyes
was astonished to see a stranger in
the act of searching the pockets of
his trousers which were hanging from
a nail in the partition. The Chinaman
looked on for a few seconds too
amazed to say anything. Then he
arose to a sitting posture, whereupon
the stranger turned about quickly and
took his hands from the clothing.
"What you want!" inquired the
owner of the trousers.
"Oh, you want buy kukui nuts!"
and the intruder coolly produced a
handful of polished nuts and showed
them to the roomer. But the China
man was not so easily fooled and he
made more inquiries. The visitor sud
denly decided that he had business
elsewhere, for he bolted from' the room
and disappeared.
The Chinaman went to the police
station and was referred to the Chief
of Detectives, who was then with his
entire force on duty at a peaceful
meeting of the United Chinese Society.
Through Officer Aho the Chinaman told
his story of the attempted robbery
which had taken place not more than
twenty minutes previously. The Chief
sat on the stairway reading an after
noon paper while the information, ac
companied by a good description of
the mysterious visitor, was being ab
sorbed into his system.
Finally, the Chief called the Porto
Rican officer, and ordered him to ac
company the Chinaman to the scene of
the attempted burglary and then report-back
to headquarters. The Chief
and his entire force then returned to
the police station. The opportunity to
spread the detective force out over the
Chinatown district and look for a slim,
dark-featured man, with black hand
kerchief about his neck, a man who
might be a negro, was lost.
Entitled to Mercy.
On Thursday morning a little Span
ish boy, aged ten years, was given a
year's sentence to the Reform School,
for complicity in the theft of oranges
from the warehouse of May & Co. A
small crowd of Dewsboys had a hand
in the affair, but only the Spanish
boy and a Portuguese lad were found
guilty. The police afterwards learn
ed that the Spanish boy, whose name
is Gonsalves, is about the sole sup
port of his sick mother and three
brothers and sisters. He is a newsboy
and his income from the sale of morn
ing and afternoon papers amounts to
from 60 to 75 cents a day. It is said
that this is all the family have to live
on. The father was in the Queen's
Hospital some time ago, and after com-1
ing out looked for work, but could
get none. lie finally went to San
Francisco. The mother is not at pres
ent in a condition to work, although
work has been offered her.
It is understood these circumstances
have been laid before the County At
torney's office, and probably the lad
will be given an opportunity to repent
without going to the Reform School.
The police will seek to reopen the
case, have sentence suspended and the
boy placed on probation for the usual
period of time.
Remorse Overtook Him.
After celebrating wrell but not wise
ly, Henry Kualae awoke yesterday
morning in a melancholy frame of
mind and decided to commence the
year with an attempt on' his life. He
got a razor and a trowel and let it be
known all over the neighborhood of
Lililia street near Vineyard that he
intended to kill himself. Captain
Parker was notified and he took the
man to the police station for safety.
