It Belonged to the American Consulato In Honolulu and Was Carried Off by a Party of English Middies—The Res titution and Apology. A Walkman sf Si! and Experience Knows exactly what to do to properly repair a damaged car riage, and therefore wastes no time in experiments, for which the owner of the vehicle has to pay. That is why it costs least for repairs at E. li. Dent.’s Our workmen know their trade and in addition our patrons are guaranteed that no carriage overhauled without our person al supervision. “Speaking of old times on tho coast,” said an Oregonian, ''reminds me of some of the sterling characters we had there. One was Governor Mc Bride of Oregon. 11 is Urst otlicial du ties were at Honolulu, where he was United States minister. King Kame- haiueha was the ruler at the time. The minister was a heroic type of a man, file father of fourteen children, niul a number of his sons became distin guished men in various professions, lie was a true American, cast in an ultra patriotic mold, and many stories are told among the oldtimers of his patriotism and bravery. "When McBride reached Honolulu he found there were no outward in signia designating the American con sulate or minister’s office, so he had a large American coat of arms cut out of wood, gilded and decorated appro priately, and tills was hung over the office door that all the world might see it. It was mUurally a conspicuous ob ject and of much interest to the pub lic. “One day an English man-of-war came into port. The sailors and mid shipmen were given liberty, and, ns often happens, some of them hud hi larious times. Among the then mid shipmen were Lord Gordon and Lord Bcresford, who, like all midshipmen in from a long cruise, were out for a jolly time. Walking down I he street, they did not fail to notice that Yankee coat of arms, and as Bcresford was collecting bric-a-brac and curiosities it occurred t~- him and Gordon that this would bo a line addition to their col lection, a trophy worth having. So they selected a time when the minis ter was away and the office closed, presumably at night, and took down the coat of arms, hired a native vchl- le to carry it down to tile dock mid tually succeeded in getting it n boa I'd without any of the ranking officers knowing anything about it. The next morning when the minis ter came down to the office bis assist ant said: Mr. Minister, your bird's taken flight.’ ■ 'What do you mean?' asked Ills mollonoy. •• -Your coat ot’ arms is gone.’ re plied the aid. (tone where? Flown off?’ Not exactly.' said tlie other. ‘It's just.disappeared.’ The minister walked out into the street and looked up The coat of arms, which was live or six feet across, was 'noticeable by its absence.’ It had taken wings and flown away. Exactly what the minister said has not been chronicled. 'It so happened that Bcresford had given the carriage driver an extra fare for bis trouble. Some one discovered this and quickly reported it to the min ister, who at once made a demand upon the captain of the frigate for Its return. The captain, who was inno cent. denied that the tiling was aboard ship. The minister sent his evidence to tile captain, reiterating Ids demand and demanding an apology for the in sult. The captain now began an investi gation. and the culprits owned up and took the coat of arms on deck, when it was promptly sent ashore and re turned to the office of the minister. McBride, who was there, refused to receive it. “•Toll the captain of your frigate that I desire that the men who took it down bring it back, place it where they found it and apologize.’ "Back to the ship went the men with the coat of arms and reported. The captain ordered the young men to go ashore, take tho coat of arms to the consulate, replace it as they found it and apologize to i lie minister. "It was doubtless a bitter pill, and ttie young midshipmen had to stand the badinage of their comrades. The two went ashore, ready to comply, and took the coat of arms to the con sulate. The American minister had not put himself out to keep the mat ter quiet, and ns a fact the public was well posted, and the consulate was surrounded by a crowd of Americans, natives uml others, all laughing at the predicament of the young midship men. "The minister had a strong sense of humor and determined to get all there was in it. He preserved his dignity as first be could as he received the young men and listened to their apologies The midshipmen then took the coal of arms from the hack and amid tin* cheers of the crowd climbed io the front of the building and placed It In position, then hurried down, followed by laughter and cheers.”— O. F. Holder in Mew York Evening Lost. Sending a Wireless. Charles F. Lutnmis, the well-known author, traveler, and authority on In dians, appeared recently in Washington in a corduroy suit, a sash and a som brero. “Mr. Lutnmis,’’ said a reporter, “in your study of the Indians you must have come upon many strange things?” “In any study,” said the novelist, “one comes upon strange tilings. Take, for instance, the study of childhood. Nothing reveals stranger tilings than that. "1 know a little boy in Los Angeles. He was bad the other day, and his mother punished him. “After his punishment he was seen to go to his father’s desk and write something on a sheet of paper. Then he went out into the garden, dug a lit tle hole and buried the paper in it. “His mother, after he had gone away, dug up the paper. It contained these words: “ ‘Dear devil, please come and take mamma.’ ” A boy of twelve years of age, with an air of melancholy resignation, went to his teacher the other day, and hand ed in the following note from his mother before taking his seat: “Dear Sir: Please excuse James for not being present yesterday. He play ed truant, but you needn’t whip him for it, as the boy he played truant with an' him fell out and he licked James; and a man they threw stones at caught him and licked him; an’ the driver of a cart they hung on to licked him; and the owner of a cat they chased licked him. Then 1 licked him when he come home, after which his father licked him, and I had to give him another for being impudent to me. So you need not lick him until next time. He thinks he’d better attend regular in the future.” “I hear you want to sell your dog, Pat. They tell me he has a pedigree.” “Shure, an’ ()i nivir noticed it, sor. Anyhow, he's nothin’ hut a puppy yit, an’ Oi’m thinkin as how he’ll lie afther ontgrowin’ it. sor.” For sore throat, sharp pain in lungs, tightness across the chest, hoarseness or cough, lave the parts with Sloan’s Liniment.
