When the steamer Kinau was
leaving this forenoon, the officers
of the steamer Lehua, which was

standing on the port side, watch

Fun on the wharf
A native of the "Faderland"
who peddles sausages for the Me-
tropolitan Meat Co. drove down to
Inter-Island wharf this morning
to sell some of his goods. Jump
ing off his cart,he went aboard the
James Makee for few minutes.
Returning, he started to 60 up
town, but his horse persisted in go.
ing in the opposite direction to that
which his master endeavored to
guide him. The boys on the
wharf began to laugh at the puz
zled sausage vendor. Suddenly
tumbling to the conclusion that
a trick had been played on him,
the son of the "Faderland" jump
ed to the ground and looked at the
horse and then at the wagon.
Getting on his seat again, he
gently pulled one rein-he caught
on. The boys had crossed the
reins and for quite a while enjoy
ed heap of fun. When the sau-
sager comes to the wharf here
after, it will be no josh to ask
him, "How are tricks?"
