QUITE A FAMILY IN low.

Among the passengers that came
up from Honolulu on the Alameda
yesterday was a Portuguese named
Alfred Tracaldo and his family con-
sisting of twenty-one all told. AS
may be imagined most of the family
are very small and when the party
reached the ferry patertamlIias had
all he could do TO keep his flock to-
gether, and he found it hard work
as the youngsters were inclined to
start off on an exploring expedition
in various directions, so that in con-
sequence several came very nearly
being run over.
1t is very doubtful whether he
could have taken the whole crowd
across the bay had he not adopted
the wise precaution of tying the
numerous members of this interest
ing family together with bale rope,
a proceeding that raised howl OF
Indignation from a dozen or more OF
the youngsters. Tracaldo says all
his children were born near Homo
lulu and gave his own and his wife
age as Al and 81 respectively 5.

AT lYSAN ISLAND.

There was a small revolution at
Lysan Island lately, owing to discon-
tent and irregularity of pay TO the la
borers stationed there. One of the
results is that Portuguese brought
civil suit against the North Pacific
Phosphate & Fertilizer Company, in
the Police Court yesterday, for $500
back pay, which he alleges is owing
him for services rendered. W. o..
Smith, who appeared for the Compa-
ny, rendered in open Court 1920 for
final settlement of the affair, but
the Portuguese, through his counsel
c. w. Ashford, said he would con-
slider the offer, but wanted sufficient
time in which to do so. He asked
that the case be remanded until next
Monday, to which the defendant ac-
guessed.

S. F. SAILORS HOME.

A while ago this paper reprinted
a report from San Francisco paper,
which praised the management of the
Sailors Home Of that city by Capt.
Staples, formerly jailor of Oahu
Prison. Since then a mail has ar
rived bringing several papers that
contained severe criticisms on the
management. The BULLETIN copied
one of the mildest of these reports,
which simply stated that there was
serious fault found with the institu-
ton, and suggested an investigation
by the grand jury. Thereupon a
friend of Capt. Staples produces a
copy of the Journal of Commerce,
with an article not only defending
but lauding the management of the
Home, and asks its republication as
showing "the other side" AS, how
ever, the items already published
gave something on either side as
much as was necessary for news pur-
poses-there is no necessity for de-
voting much space to a controversy
at secondhand. Capt. Staples eX-
planned to the Journal man that the
dispute between the boarding house
keepers and the Home arose from a
breach by the former of an agree
ment, under which the Home was to
ship 20 percent of the sailors from
that port, in consequence of which
the captain shipped all the sailors on
certain vessel. The boarding house
keepers then abolished what is known
as "blood money" on which the
Journal says: Gas they have other
means of reimbursing themselves
they could easily do this. Captain
Staples has reduced the amount of
blood money to $40, and as the
Home gives the sailor every benefit
without cinching him in any other
way, he is better off to avail himself
of its benefits and privileges. -

A FAV0RITE REMEDY.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a
favorite during the winter months on
account of its great success in the
cure of colds. There is nothing that
will loosen severe cold so quickly,
or as promptly relieve the lungs.
Then it counteracts any tendency to-
ward pneumonia. It is pleasant and
safe to take, and fully worthy of its
popularity. For sale by all dealers.

The Iroquois' Legend Of Creation.


The Iroquois have legend Of their own
describing the creation. In the past deep
water covered the earth. Tho air was filled
with birds and monsters we're in posses
sion of the waters, when a beautiful wom-
an was seen falling from the sky. Then
huge ducks gathered in council and re-
solved to meet this wonderful creature and
break the force Of her fall. So they rose,
and with pinion overlapping pinion united
ly received the burden. Then the mon
sters Of the deep also gathered in council
to decide which one should hold this celes-
tial being and protect her from the ter
rors OF the waters, but none was able ex.
cept giant tortoise, who volunteered to
endure this weight upon his back. There
she was gently placed, while he, constant
ly increasing in size, soon became large
island.
Twin boys were after a time brought
forth by the woman-one the spirit OF
good, who caused the maize, fruit and to
bacco TO grow; the other the spirit Of evil,
who created the weeds and all vermin.
From that time the world steadily in
creased in size. although occasional quak-
ings were felt, caused by the efforts of the
mons er tortoise to stretch himself
