Gibson last week, to natives at Waialun, in
reference to his visit TO that place in 1901.
Shortly after that time he convened the native
Mormons a, Waikiki and exhibited to them
written credentials from Brigham Young, di-
recting him to proceed to the Sandwich Is
lands and take the direction Of Mormon affairs
here. No7O Mr.. Gibson says he came here
without any definite purpose, although he had
Brigham Young's written orders in his pocket.
Is he romancng now, or were these credentials
lotged2 We state the dilemma, bu, look for
no answer from him. Mr.. Gibson never
answers impertinent remarks. lie only drops

etc The less the Premier has to say about his
earlier history here the better. But he is

when she was but three years old and went
seventy-fve miles to purchase her. She
could not be bought for three hundred now
and / have owned her but two years"
A pretty picture was before US as we
drove up to the open door of the cosy
cottage. Lettering under some grand old
trees was young mother with her baby

Ia clergyman failed in health, and / found
that L must provide for four persons our
selves and our two boys. Hearing that this
farm of twenty acres was for sale, i pur-
chased it and have since that time reared
and educated thirteen children, besides my
own, to lives of industry. Five of these
we're blacks and three Indians. Some are

cream which brings five dollars a day during g
the hot season for ice cream purposes.
