had landed In New York. Here they
remained a few days, and took the owl
train on Thursday night, reaching here
Friday morning. They walked straight
down Market street and stopped at the
restaurant. where the reporter was also
seated. II was therefore their first
stop and the reporter was the first
Philadelphian they had opened their
lips to.
In detail. as well as he could the re-
porter then set out TO tell MIR. Hard-as-
Iron about the big Civic Day parade.
the float representing Hawaii. and also
about the Commercial Museums and
DR.. Wilson. Mr.. Hard-as-lron then, In
his true tongue. related sentence by
sentence all this intelligence TO Messrs.
Burning Fire, Always Laughing and
Slack Wire. About DIR. Wilson there
was some trouble. The Hawaiians in
some way or another, got an idea that
he was President Mckinley and that
they were to be presented as repre-
sentatlves OF President Dole. They also
thought the Commercial Museums was
some kind Of theater where they
were to do a "hula- hula" dance, and
Mr.. Slack Wire got up and showed
how well he could do anything in that
line.
After few trivial misunderstand-
ings like this during which the report
er learned a lesson or two In native
Hawaiian, the four strangers were es-
corted to lodging house ana an ap-
pOintment made for that night at The
North American Office.
PROFESSOR WILSON'S JOY"
That same afternoon the reporter
waited on Professor Wilson at the
Commercial Museums, on Fourth
street, and when he told the Professor
what he had found. the head of the
institution almost jumped out OF mis-
boots for Joy
THE very thing" he shouted.
How in the world. and where, did You
get them"
And the reporter then went over the
story in detail.
The upshot OF Il all was that Profess
sor Wilson agreed to be on hand at
o'clock when the Hawaiians appeared
and at that hour all hands-the ma
tiyes, DR.. Wilson and the reporter
were cioseted in Col. McMichaels pri-
vate office. There the Doctor made q
complete examination of the men
ethnologically and otherwise, and
after an hours work declared them 10
he the real thing"
The men had never been away from
their island before, and this was the
. first time they had ever set foot on
United States soil. So far as ProfessoI
Wilson knew, they were the only Ha.
waiians in these parts. He examined
the hair, which is straight, black and
shining; the cheek bones. which re.
semble Chinese somewhat, and he then
, went through the subject categorically

months and d half sailing around the
Horn, carried 1900 pounds OF sugar
They We're the only Hawaiians aboard

the men left.
FAT HOME IN CHINATOWN"
; Where did you go in New York;
asked DIR. Wilson.
I'VE all go Chinatown" said Hard
!, as-Iron.
|. why did you go there, beside an.
other place."
I'VE all know Chinamen's way best
He eat same kind stuff with chopstick
We understand him language some,
was the reply.

porter that the Hawaiian Islands are
overrun with Cinnamon, and Mr.. Hard
as-lron's statement was doubtlessl!
! true. Mr.. Hard-as-Iron then went in
to raptures over his native dish, poi ;
, but said he could compromise OF
"chop-sue' or ''yok-a-mai." The re
porter suggested trip to Chinatown
and at the mere mention that ther'
, was such a colony here Hard-as-Iron'
. eyes bulged out with satisfaction
, THAT sol" he said I'VE all go."
Z FUN WITH OYSTERS"
: Professor Wilson, however, WASH
, quite ready. He said he had eater
! snails in Venice and done other Epi
. curean tricks, but he didn't think h,
could bolt 'chop-sue' or 'yok- ANAL
He agreed, however, to "set-up" t
J raw oysters.
Oyster" repeated Wal-la-Ka-h ao

, Come, We shall see," said Professor
Wilson, and out all hands started FOL
