m A PATHETIC STOUT FROM THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
If
MONG the beauti¬
ful oases of vol¬
canic islands in
the vast desert
waste of waters,
the Pacific Ocean,
U 1 known as the key
to Uncle Sam’s
back door, the
Hawaiian Islands,
the dread disease
of leprosy flour¬
ishes in spite of the desperato attempts
made by the authorities to isolate and
extirpate this Asiatic living death.
With the advent of Harwsnii into the
fold of the great American Union has
passed away from this earth, a leper
outlaw who by tho mere mention of
his name has terrorized the authori¬
ties and acted obedience as a bugaboo unruly to frighten
and bring to chil¬
' ne c
dren. A terror; not because 'vs
mitted depredations, but
persisted in defying the law- and lived
with his suffering family in the crater
of au extinct volcano far up the sides
of a mountain on the island of Hawaii.
Iu refusing to obey tho law aud with
his family go to Molokai, the leper set¬
tlement, he has been compelled to kill
three men, while a fourth owes his
death to his endeavors to compel th:3
man accursed by God to go to the leper
colony.
Twelve years ago Kipula, a happy
aud careless native, frith a wifg£ and
five children, cultivated his littroiarm
or clearing in the outskirts of Hilo aud
lived iu ease aud contentment, dream¬
ing away the days iu this earthly para¬
dise under the ever-smiling heavens of
this tropical Pacific Ocean. Providence
seemed to smile upon him, and his lit¬
tle taro patch grew and increased year
by year, white with his canoe Kipula
caught all of the finny tribe to supply
his pressing wants, Theu in an evil
day Kipula with alarm and horror no¬
ticed the dread white sjiots appearing
on tho hands of his youngest baby
child, which up to that time had been
the embodiment of perfect health. To
his wife’s consternation the spots grew
and grew, until their once beautiful
baby grew ugly and • misshappen.
Large scaly spots appeared on his
body, and the father aj*d mother were
obliged to keep the child hidden, for
to reveal tho fact that tho child had
the scourge would be to have it torn
from their loving arms and hurried
mvay to Molokai. They could not
bear to think of parting with him, aud
so held their peace. Theu au elder
child was stricken, aud excuses had to
ba made to explain the absence of the
two children. The natives grew sus¬
picions and asked inquisitive ques¬
tions as to what was the matter with
tho children, but ho succeed in aii
peasing their curiosity.
One day, when Kipula had been
fishing in his cauoo trying to ensnare
the wary fish, he noticed with alarm
that his left kuee was numb, that it
did not respond to any painful sensa
lions, aud shortly after his limbs be-
6 au t0 swell. At the same time his
wife was also stricken down with the
disease, aud now the natives could be
silenced no longer, with the result
that shortly after the Hawaiian
authorities were informed. Of course,
the next day a doctor aud several
officials investigated the minors and
reports, and with but a cursory ox
, animation were able to diagnose the
cases as leprosy. They informed him
to be ready to leavo tha next morn¬
ing with his family for Molokai.
When the officials returned the next
morning to take the family to the
living dead city they found nothing.
That night Kipula. with his wife and
children, had taken a few of their bo
, longings and fled away in the dark¬
ness in his boat. Upon searching in
qniry they learned Kipula, who was
famous as a goat-hunter, had taken his
rifle and gone in his boat, with his
family, in tho direction of Mauua
Kea, the grim mountain peak that
i lifts its head far up in the ever-drift
* ing Kona mists. The family had dis
fc appeared, and the footprints in the
'■'•''Band along the track made by the
boat and its outrigger as the family
had pushed and dragged the canoe
down the beach told the story of their
escape.
The following day half a dozen of
the peace officers went in pursuit of
the fleeing leper and his afflicted
family. They discovered the landing
place at a point near the Ookala
plantation, where a spur of Manna Kea
comes down close to the water’s edge.
Through the tangled growth of
tropical verdure on tho low lands the
pursuers went, finding here and there
a trace of the fugitives—at one place
a few shreds of cloth torn away in
pushing through the dense tropical
undergrowth; at another a plainly
t marked footprint where the ground
was soft aud yielding; at another
broken twigs aud misplaced stones
showed where they had passed. In a
short time the poss9 was laborioasly
picking its way amoug the huge
bowlders that centuries before had
' been strewn there in the great vol¬
canic and seismic eruptions and con-.

vulsions that had torn and rent the
mountain asunder.
Then up through a deep chasm they
went where a stream was rushing,
tumbling and foaming over the lava
rooks to the sea. A mile further on
the gorge apparently terminated
against the mountain side and the
trail led across the precipice, a long,
narrow ledge that nature had hewn in
the frowning cliff. Night came on,
and the leper hunters had to bivouac
half way up the side of the mountain,
where an easy roll in deep slumber
would precipitate them to the valley
below upon the sharp,‘jagged rocks.
The next morning early they wer'd fol¬
lowing tiie trail again. The path be¬
came more difficult to follow. At
times it was necessary for the pur¬
suers to swing from point to point of
jutsing rock, where a mis-stei> or a
loose stone would hurl them into
eternity and into a little stream roar¬
ing on its way far below them.
How Kipula managed to make his
way up this dangerous path with his
family is a mystery that will never be
answered. The many days .spent by
him in the pursuit of wild goats in¬
festing the island doubtless stood hirn
in good stead and enabled him to
safely carry at times his family over
the perilous parts of the journey to the
rocky fastness of the summit of the
cliff which ho had discovered in the
hunting days of his youth.
About a mile beyond the point
where the trail took a sharp turn the
narrow gorge opened out and formed
a deep circular basin similar to a small
crater. Around the circular side of
the chasm the path led for three
fourths of its circumference and ter¬
minated in a narrow crevasse cut deep
iu the aide of the wall, through which
a narrow stream of water jetted out
and tumbled in a thin, misty spray in
the shadows of the.palms far down at
tho bottom of the precipice.
Here Kipula determined to make a
stand. On a ledge of rook overhang¬
ing the waterfall stood Kipula, rifle in
hand and motioning his pursuers to
return. The officers called on him to
surrender and return peaceably with
them to Molokai. The only answer
was a warning to .return and leave him
and his family in peace or he would
fire on them. Thinking the punish¬
ment that awaited Mm if he fired on
the officers of tho law would deter
Kipula from putting his threat into
execution, the officers advanced,
when, crack, a thin stream of fire had
shot forth from Kipula’s leveled rifle,
and tho foremost officer, emitting a
scream and throwing up his houas,
tumbled headlong over the precipice the
and was dashed to fragments on
rocks below.
“Go back,” shouted the outlaw, as
he placed another cartridge in his
rifle, aud again raised tho gnu to his
shoulder. “Go back.” Thcu his
words assumed a pleading form.
“Leave me here with my babies. Here
I will remain until the end aud the
world will know of Kipula and his
family no more.”
He had them at his mercy and they
all knew it. Back over the trail they
tremblingly went, fearful that they
would be sent over the cliff to join
their dead comr'ade. Their courage,
however, returned as soon as they got
out of range on the leper’s rifle, and
they decided to make another attempt
to capture him at night after the moon
had sunk behiud a spur of the moun¬
tain. As soon as it was completely
dark they made another attempt,
creeping around the edge of the prec¬
ipice and groping forward. They had
gone about half way round tho circu¬
lar trail overhanging the chasm, when
one of the officers loosened a stone iu
the path, and dojvn it crashed in the
with a roar and an echo that seemed to
tho startled pursuers to shake the
mountain side. Au instant later there
was a flash aud crack of a rifle just
over the cascade and another member
of the party fell downward to join the
comrade who had preceded him that
morning. Thera was a hurried
scramble of the four remaining leper
hunters for safety, and in tho dark¬
ness ono of the remaining members
lost his footing and toppled over the
edge of the cliff. The loss of half the
party utterly discouraged them, and
tho three remaining men beat a hasty
retreat to Hilo utterly discouraged
and disheartened.
They reached this place two days
later, worn out, cut and bruised from
the numerous falls on the rough trail,
and quickly the news of the tragic
death of their three comrades spread
over the settlement. The Hawaiian,
under ordinary circumstances a pleas¬
ure-loving and peaceful citizen, when
aroused is fierce and vindictive, and
the friends of the dead men assembled
thirsting for revenge. This time hate¬
ful laws were not to be enforced, but
revenge was to be accomplished.
Swiftly the augmented force returned
to the dreaded chasm. Cautiously the
avenging party crept along to the spot
where their friends had met their tragic
deaths at tho hands of Kipula. The
little waterfall across the broadening
chasm had just come into view,
there came the warning cry across the
gorge, ‘ ‘Go back. Go back if you would
save your lives,”
Over the top of the boulder gleamed
the steel barrel of a rifle, and the
avengers halted. A barricade had been
built in th*ir absence and the man
hunters were astonished at the im¬
pregnable position secured by Iiipula.
Even while they hesitated the warning
cry, “Go back,” was again repeated,
and with it came the sharp crack ot
the rifle, and the Itullet flattened itself
on the wall of the clili’ directly in front
of the leader of the party. All thoughts
of revenge died away, and the posse,
thinking only of their own safety, threw
themselves flat along the narrow path
and cried aloud for mercy, saying
they would return to Hilo and allow
the leper to live in seolasion if he
would spare them. Then they decided
to try and flank him and attack him in
the rear by climbing the overhanging
mountain peaks, and if possible kill
him from above. After a hard climb
up along the spur of the mountain
they reached the top, and cutting
through the tangled vegetation the
foremost of the avengers found him¬
self standing on the brink of a preci¬
pice that fell with a sheer descent sev¬
eral hundred feet, then sloped away
gently to a beautiful valley far down
beneath his feet, A little stream to
the right of where they stood fell in a
long, beautiful unbroken cascade and
rippled along to where Ripula could
be seen, rifle in .hand, looking for the
appearance of his enemies along the
path. behind him his leprous
A few yards busily engaged
wife and children were
in building a thatched hut, which they
were constructing close to the edge ol
tho stream. Close by the hut was a
corral where a few goats that had been
captured were penned and the valley
fairly teemed with wild tropical fruits.
The avengers on top of the cliff were
too far away for a rifle ball to reach
him, aud the only approach to the val¬
ley was along the steep,, narrow aud
dangerous trail—to attempt to travel
was death. Regretfully they had to
leavo him alone in this paradise and
return to their comrades below. The
expedition was abandoned, and the
only precaution taken to prevent Kip
ula from returning to his friends and
relatives living around and in Hilo
was to place a guard at the foot of the
mountainous path. Kipula, however,
remained true to bis promise and
never left bis mountain fastness,where
ha cultivated a tart* patch ana a smsfl:
field of rice.
For nearly six years the guard kept
watch on tha trail, and then a new
chief of the island police being- ap¬
pointed another attempt was made to
capture tho outlaw. A posse was
organized and up the trail they
cautiously went, hoping after the
'ong lapse of years of silence that
Kipula had in a measure relaxed his
vigilance, and could be taken by sur¬
prise. They reached the foot of the
barricade in safety. There they
halted, while the leader of the party
crawled to the top of the wall to ob¬
tain a glimpse of the leper’s home.
He incautiously placed his foot on a
stone, which, being loose, was dashed
to tho bottom of the chasm and
splashed into the stream. For half
an hour the officers crouched in the
shadow of the wall, fearful that this
noise had aroused the vigilant watch¬
fulness of the outcast, but all was
silent. Then the leader climbed to
the top of the barricade and beckoned
for his comrades to follow him. They
had only gone a short distance, how¬
ever, when the dread rifle shot from
the cliffs rang out and [the leader,
throwing up his bauds with an in¬
voluntary cry, fell headlong into the
stream at the foot of the chasm in the
darkness of the gorge. Again the
warning cry “Go back. Go back or
I will kill you,” glad rang out, and with the
terrified officers, to escape
their lives, departed, never to molest
him again.
Occasionally daring gold hunters
would climb the overhanging cliffs
and report that be was monthly grow¬
ing weaker, and that the graves of his
children in the corner of liis garden
wore yearly growing in number.
About the time that the American flag
was hoisted over the Hawaiian Island
death came to the sufferer, aud at the
same time he became an American
citizen he was ushered into his new
existence.
After jubilation proceedings the wen
over a goat hunter went to top o:
the cliffs, aud for hours he watohel
the home of Kipula to see if lie coulil
discover any signs of life. All was cs
silent as the grave. A few days lata
he, with a few companions, scrambled
along the trail up the canyon, ho
one challenged them at the bavricads,

GOOD ROADS NOTES. I
(eieeieiemji^eieiei
XVIile and Narrow Tires.
White wide tires are gradually
growing in favor on farm wagons, still
they are not being adopted as fast as
they should be for the best interests
of the farmer and the good of the
roads. About this season of tho year
the road question ala-ays discussed comes up, the
and with it should be
tire question. All are willing to ad¬
mit no doubt that narrow tires on our
heavy wagons are among the most
destructive road agents we have.
There seems to be a strong impres¬
sion among farmers that wide tires
increase the draft and are harder on
teams than narrow ones. A number
of tests recently made before the
Missouri State Roads Improvement
Association show that for many roads
the wide fives draw easier than the
narrow ones, the loads remaining the
same. The test was made in this
way: tired wheels of
A set of six-inch
same height as the one aud three
quarter-ihch tired wheels bought with
the wagon had been provided so that
they hauled the same wagon with tho
same load over exactly similar roads,
measuring the draft by means of a
new self-recording dynamometer
which had been carefully tested for
accuracy. The road on which these
trials were made was almost level and
somewhat firmer at the surface than
corn laud iu the spring when dry
enough to plow. Unfortunately a
stratum of frozen earth about four
inches from tho surface prevented
narrow tires from cutting a deep rut.
The layer of frozen earth also explains
the decrease in draft of the narrow j
tires when run for a number of times >
in their own track.

Difference in favor of broad tires,
fifty-three pounds or 21.6 per cent. A
good horse is estimated to exert a pull
of 150 pounds for ten hours per day,
moving at the rate of two aud one
half miles per hour. This means that
there was a saving by using the broad
tires of slightly more than one-third
of a horse. Or that the same team,
exerting the same pull or doing the
', me work, would have drawn one- I
fourth larger load. In other words,
the 2350 pounds load pulled ns heavy
as a load of 3037 pounds should over
the same road iu the same wagon if
six-inch tires were used. It is not
maintained that this large advantage
for wide tires would be found in all
conditions of roads. The experiment
station is tu ranging to make a
thorough test of this matter m the
fields, meadows, muddy roads, and
gravel aud macadamized roads, ami
will publish the results iu an illus¬
trated bulletin for free distribution, at
the earliest moment possible. The
most important advantage shown in
tho test already made for the wide
tires was the ease with which the load
was started. It required 500 pounds
of draft to start the load with narrow
tires, and only 230 pounds with wide
tires. Here is a saving of more than
half the draft. It is often compara
lively easy to ban the load after it is
started, aud if, by using tue wule
tires, the force necessary to give mo¬
tion to the wagon is reduced more
than half, it is au important matter.—

Mud aud Matrimony.
A paper published at Towsou, Bal¬
timore County, Maryland, reoently
published the followiug from one of
its country correspondents:
“A reception was given by Mr. aud
Mrs. William Shepperd a few nights
ago at their residence on ‘My Lady’s
Manor.’ Unfortunately Sir. Shepperd
was not present. He was detained ou
the road in moving a heavy load of
furniture from Baltimore to his home.
His team became stalled on account of
tho bad condition of the road, and he
did not arrive home until after mid¬
night. These are some of the per¬
plexities newly married people have
to endure sometimes.”
From a League member we learn
that “the parties had been married
only a few days before, and this was
the reception given at the groom’s
home after their return from their
bridal tour. Think of the groom hav¬
ing to miss his own reception by rea¬
son of bad roads, and imagine the feel¬
ings of the bride!”

degradation will deter from the com¬

the incursion of tramps into a com¬

MOTHERS AS MEN MAKERS.
On© Self-Made Man Who Had Veracity
and Courage to Tell Who Mode Him.
Dr. Lorimer, of Tremont Temple,
Boston, tells this story of ono of our
distinguished men who was introduced
at a great public meeting as a “self
made man.” Instead of appearing
gratified at this tribute it seemed to
throw him for a few moments into a
“brown study.” Afterward they
asked him the reason for the way iu
which he received the announcement.
“Well,” said the great man, “it set
m e f 0 thiuking that 1 was not really a
se lf-made man.”
“Why,” they replied, “did you not
begin to work iu a storo when you
were ten or twelve?”
“Yes,” said ho, “but it was be
cause my mother thought I ought
early to have the edueatiug touch of
business.”
“But then,” they urged, “you wero
always such a great reader, devouring
books when a boy.”
“Yes,” he replied, “but it was be¬
cause my mother led me to do it, and
at her knee she had me give au acconut
of the book after I had read it. I
don’t know about being a self-made
man. 1 think my mother had a great
deal to do with ii.”
“But then,” they urged again,
“your integrity was your own.”
“Well, i don’t know about that.
One day a barrel of apples had come
for me to sell out by the peck, and
after the manner of some storekeepers
I put the speckled ones at the bottom
ancl the best ones at the top. My
mother called mo and asked me what
I was doing. I told her, and she said,
‘Tom, if you do that you will bo a
cheat,’ And I did not do it. I think
my mother had something to do with
my integrity. And, on the whole, I
doubt whether I am a self-made man.
I think my mother had something to
do with making me anything I am of
any character or usefulness.”
“Happy,” said Dr. Lorimer, “the
boy who had such a mother. Happy
the mother who had a boy so apprecia¬
tive of his mother’s influence.”
Why It Was Called Rubber.
A ni t from a Briti8h con .
0 f the Central American
States gives the following as the origin
of the name rubber, as applied to
caoutchouc: An English artist discov¬
ered iu 1770 that the new gum was
admirably adapted for rubbing out
pencil marks. He wrote a paper ou
the subject, and informed bis contem¬
poraries that a cubic inch of this sub¬
stance, costing only three shillings,
would last for years. It was used for
no other pnrpose in England than
effacing lead pencil marks for about
half a century after this discovery,
hence the name “rubber." After the
introduction of the raw material and
the scientific description of the plant
by Frenchmen it was first manufac¬
tured into waterproof clothing in
France toward the ond of the eight¬
eenth century. Later on the firm of
McIntosh of Manchester greatly im¬
proved on the French idea, and manu¬
factured waterproofs on a large scale,
and “mackintosh” is the name by
which waterproofs have been known
since that time. —PhiladeJpliia Record.

In a certair room there were twenty

to connect all the machine pipes to its

“Did you oyer see an eagle carry off
