SURF SLIDING IN HAWAII.

The old practice of surf sliding-"hee
nalu'-upon surf boards was magnificent
sport. It has fallen almost entirely into
disuse since 40 years ago, when horses be-
came numerous and cheap. Before that
date I used frequently to see it at Lahama
as we'll as earlier at Kailua. l believe
some adopts still practice it at Hilo. The
board used in surf sliding is from. s to 8
feet long and 10 to Is inches wide, round
ed at the ends and sharpcned ut tho edges,
very much like q paper cutter. Tho rider
swims out with the board under one arm,
diving under the rollers until outside
where tho surf is just beginning to break.
There, by an adroit movement, he stretch.

a big roller, Mt the same time violently
plying arms and legs to "get a move on, +"
while the roller lifts him from behind.
Once in motion tho wave does tho rest,
although great skill is needed to keep the
board poised precisely ut the proper height
md inclination upon the front of the vic.
lently breaking roller. Tho riders will
thus shoot several hundred yards to the
shore. .
BY carly and long practice great skill
was attained in this sport. The moro cx-
pert would often rise to q standing pos

at the right point OH the wave. I can re

from my home through the stems of the
lofty cocoa palms scores of natives flying

mother ut Kailua once received in her
matched cottage a morning call from a
bevy of royal danes with their attendants,
all fresh from surf play. The maidens
carried the garments while their mistress

stately simplicity and proceeded to dress.
All that was utterly innocent, and so in a
certain sense was the nearly entire unro-
straint of domestic morals in those carly
days. To infuse some degree of conscience
on that point has been altogether tho most

After Hours.

Some time ago, on o day set apart fol
humiliation and prayer, a manufactures
offered to pay his workmen their wages on
condition that they attended church. To
this they readily agreed.
Shortly before evening service one of the
employees called at his employers resi-.
dence and told the servant he wished ''to
see the maistor."
"Now, Jack, what do you wantp"
''Well, sor. me and ma myets hev bees

the heads of both are removed, and both
are carved before they are taken to the
table or mat as the case may be. Here
the white tenderfoot is told that there
are two dishes of roast pig before him,
andhe can test both and find out which
he likes best. After the feast is over the
native chuckles and tells how in every
case the white man says puppy pig
tastes better than hog pig. This is alb
solute fact I am telling you.
At the native feast there are other
things also. The white mans beer and
gin flow in rivulets. The native has a
Partially for gin. It hits the spot with
him. Both sexes partake. The gentle
brown Hawaiian woman can drink, and
carry it steady, too, a quantity of gin
that would make most white mems
heads swim.
After the feast has been eaten the
jewellers indulge in the hula dance. It
is a swaying of the body to and fro in
various pastures familiar to those who
visited certain side shows at the Chica-
go World S fair. In good old times when
the natives mostly went naked and
We're not ashamed and did not know it
was wicked the national dance was
performed by experts chiefly clad in
flower leis.
!; The hula dance as a public spectacle
is now forbidden by law in Hawaii.
Nevertheless it is generally whispered
to tourists that if they wish to see the
real thing they can still do so by apply
ing to q certain white man. A great
! hoo-hoo and mystery are made over the
matter, but the fact of it is that if q
party of half a dozen tourists will pay
the certain man SIS apiece and swear on
their honor they will not give the little
entertainment away to the police they
can be conducted around Robin Hoods
barn to a place where they may have
the original hula in all it's glory to order
with or without grass skirts.
Between ourselves the show is not
worth the money, which it is safe to say
the performers themselves get little of.
!: For the investment Of capital, large
capital, I believe this country is q good
place. There ought to be an electric
railway system around the islands. In
the mountain streams, especially in Ha-
vail, there is water power to run a
small continent.
The more I see Of the Hawaiian ma
tives the more I incline to think them
the most lovable race alive. Crimes Of
violence are unknown among them. I
have heard it said that theft among
) them is also unknown. At any rate I
} know families in Honolulu who never
lock their doors night or day. If you
pass a native on a country road, he
gives you always his kindly greeting,
'"Alohal' as he vanishes by you. Even
the little boys who line up along the
road as You pass and smile all over their
merry brown faces and show their
cleaning white teeth invariably take
off their hats to the stranger and MUIR
muir the national salutation. "Aloha!'
sweetest sounding word ever coined.

likeness to American kids" said a tray

OZARK UTOPIA A FAILURE.
Colony Established in fancy County, Mi.
souri,, and Its History.

Down in fancy county, Missouri, not
far from the Christian county line. is the
site of what was once a cooperative col
ony. The sandy fat, called in the old
days a post oak flat lies in the divide
between Swan creek and Little Beaver,
and is about six miles north of the town
of Forsyth The colony was never sue
cess, but it has an interesting history in
connection with the Bald Knob raids Of
some 10 years ago. The very nature of
the soil, bleak rugged and unproductive
prevented the realization OF the dreams of
the dupes of the founder.
This founder was an Englishman named
Henry e. Sharpe, who had become filled
with the Looking Backward" notion and
yearned to put theories into practice. He
had been over the greater part of the
world, had served in the East Indian
army as an officer and had added Oriental
philosophy to the dream of cooperative
industries. He came to America short
time before this venture and went speed
lily to work. He is spoken of as very
plausible fellow who won many recruit

tongue. He met, wooed and wed rich

BOY CHIEF. OF AFRICAN TRIBE.
Youngster of Twelve Commands Grou
of SayaceE

Youngster of Twelve Commands Group
of Savages.
A remarkable youngster of - years
OF age has just brought to London for
exhibition a band of 10 wild Swat
warriors out Of the heart of Central
Africa This white boy is their chief
and they obey him implicitly.
The boy is Bandini Norburn; his
first name was given him by his father,
a South African traveller, in honor of
King Bandini Of the Swazis The
elder Norburn acted as adviser to King
Bandini for many years, and among
the savages the boy has grown from
babyhood.
This remarka BILE boy came to London
with his 10 Swazis to keep them in or
der. They are to exhibit their war
dances, but not in improper places.
They are not to smite people with their
spears. Chief Bandni says so. He is
their war lord, interpreter, protector
guide and adviser. He keeps them out
of mischief.
II am here to mind my people," says
Bandini very modestly. "Of course,
they will do just as want them to do;
the old king, whose namesake / am,
died in 1892
Il get up early and battle and have
my breakfast. BY that time the Swazis
want me. 1 stay with them all morn
ing. Some people think they have been
tanned to come to England, but if they
saw the Swazis sometimes they would
call them warlike enough, though they
darent hurt me, and they wouldn't.
They are like children-like very
fierce and big children. They do not
know the value of human life or the
meaning of law. They have no rights
worth speaking about and do not want
any. They are simply faithful and loyal
and obedient. Do they like me? Why
l suppose they do, because 1 have lived
long in their country and-but that
isn't it. you see. l am the chief. They
have got to obey me. They wouldn't
dream of anything else
The child chief, unlike most boys Of
his age, makes scarcely any friends
among other youngsters. He enjoys
his unique life too thoroughly to court
companionship. His curious expert
ence has taught him self-reliance and
his pleasant eyes look keen and I'M
abashed straight at one with whom he
talks. Hehas the manner of one much
older and speaks crisply, briefly and
to the point, as BELTS a chief.

broken Wife.
After one weeks illness of pneumonia
M. w. Hatch died at the family resi-
dence in Iowa street Sunday. The
body was shipped to Big Timber yes
terday, where 1t will be Inferred in
the family lot. Particularly sad was
the death of Mr.. Hatch. At the time
of the death two of his small child
rem were lying i'll of scarlet fever. His
wife, almost completely exhausted from
constant worry and attendance upon
her loved ones, was physically unable
to accompany the body of her husband
to the place of interment. The SOL
emn procession left the heart broken
home after dark, when the train left
for Big Timber. Behind in the home,
bereft of nearly all semblance of con-
ISOLATION, sat the grief-stricken mother,
two small children very i'll and an
other child who wondered why all was
SO sad, and yet too young to offer any
word of coincidence. 1t was a very sad
hour, and friends of the family were
prompt in extending marked evidences
of sincere sympathy. But kind words
and assistance were but a small por-
ton of the consolation required to
mend broken heart amid such pain
fully dismal scenes.
Mr. Hatch was one of the states
well known and honored newspaper
men. He founded the Big Timber
Pioneer and subsequently was con-
nected with the Townsend Star About
a month ago he retired from the staff
of the Mining World of this city. He
was 80 years of age and was insured in
the Bankers Life of Des Moines for
$4,000, the policy being written less
than 80 days ago by Agent D. r. Beck

and in company with Mr.. and Mrs.

A SCIENTIFIC PROCESS.
A Preparation Discovered That Will De-
stroy the DandruT Germ.

For some time it has been known that
dandruff is caused by a germ that digs
up the scalp into little white flakes. and
by sapping the vitality of the hair at the
root causes falling hair, and, of course,
finally badness. For years there have
been all kinds of hair stimulants and
scalp tones on the market, but there has
been no permanent cure for dandruff un-
til the discovery of preparation called
Newbros Herpicide, which destroys the
dandruff germ. Destroy the cause the ef-
feet will cease to exist. Kill the dandruff
germ and you'll have no dandruff, no itch
ing scalp, no falling hair.
