wet HaDalei, dust blown Makaweli,
wind swept Wahiawa, sandy Mana
and other localities were represented,
for it been given out that u new con
stitution was to be adopted.
At the last meeting the president
pro tenn stated that a man without a
constitution was bad enough, but that
q society without one was worse,
whereupon he had appointed Guava
Johnson, Mango Parkes, PahOehoe
Smith and Dr. Opu Lens as a commit
tee on drafting a constitution.
After the meeting had been called
to order by the striking together of
two calabashes, the report of the COM
mittee was ordered read:

The Kauai Kodak Klub, Mutual
Admiration Literary Society and So
cial and Scientific Advancement AS

ber can offer sufficient complaint
against the reputation of the candi-
date. Anything that goes farther
back than the candidates grand uncle
on his grandfather's side will not be
considered. Sex no disqualification.
The constitution was now dis
cussed. Pahoehoe Smith believed
that the meme was too loug. 1t could
not be remembered, ami, in case
badges of the klub were made, the
expense would be considerable. For
instance, K. K. K NJ. A. L. ). and S.
& 5. \. A. in gold letters would cost
small fortune, aud the fortunes of
members of this klub were small.
At least, they averaged up that
way Besides, where could such
badge be worn with grace;
not many members, were as wide as
Plantation Jenkins, and wearing il
parallel to the axis of ones 81 iUal
column would not look well. He Ob
jected to it. Guava Johnson sug
gestei that the Kauai Kodak klub be
retained. II might be well to keep the
whole IN reserve, but be known as the
three ks" DR.. StethescOpe thought
this was too much like the Klu Klux
Klan. Mango Parkes was sure that
The Bohemian Cub" would be
better name, as our object was to
travel, enjoy ourselves and investigate
things. Judge Essex rose to say that
Mr.. Parkes had not grasped one idea
Because we would study natural his
tory, it was no reason why We should
be called the "Society of Naturals."
Mango Parkes, who, no doubt, was
named after the iIlustriOus African
traveller, had Inherited some of the
latter's instincts. We were not all for
travel by any means. We could travel
with our minds assuredly, and many
of Us would have to content ourselves
with this psychological achievement.
Bohemian would be misnOmer.
"My name is Mango Parkes, not
MuDgO," said Mr.. Parkes. - 1t is true
L have made several trips from Wal
mea to Haualei, and contemplate vOy-
aging over to Niihau; but, as for my
name, it was given me for a tree in my
fathers yard. My father blessed me
when I was born, and said, Mango,
may you flourish like this grand tree
snd prove as useful Had l inherited
from my namesake l should have
stald in one place"
Miss Sorghum Jones criticised the
Latin phrase, saying that it was
neither appropriate nor correct. Better
have a Hawaiian phrase. She would
suggest Instead of that proposed, the
following "Any adult aole pilikia,"
etc. DR.. Lens stood up to say that
the labors of the special committee
were over; the constitution had been
written and was ready for adoption.
The committee thought that the
of acquaintance and some
other things besides sugar cane might
be Of benefit to residents of the island.
