THE kAISER'S WHISPERS.

Famed william Hohenzollern.
Who sets 50 fast pace,
Has suddenly decided
That he will change his face.
All Germany Is startled.
And reasons widely range
In telling what has happened
To bring about the change.
For years the famous kaiser
Has on his upper lip
Worn fierce mustsche, up pointsd
And twisted at each tip.
Where'er he went this feature
Would much attention draw,
But now he's raising whiskers
Upon the royal jaw.
Thus far no explanation
Has from the kaiser come,
And courtiers who wonder
Are keeping mighty mum.
The people shyly gather
To watch the monarch feared
And many are the guesses
About the royal beard.
There's grief among the BARRIERS
In every German shop,
All fearing that their business
They soon will have TO stop.
For as the kaiser's letting
The royal whiskers grow
The fashion will be followed
Till shavers have no show.
And all the portrait dealers
In all the German towns
Are wearing on their faces
The blacklist brand Of frowns,
For pictures Of the kaiser
That show a fierce mustache
Are by the beard made worthless
And can't be sold for cash.
IT'S thus the ksiser's whiskers
The customs old derange
And cause much speculation
On why he made the change.
OF course he has some reason.
And he may make IL known
When TO his satisfaction
That beard has fully grown.

A NEW SPORT ADDED TO THE
HAWAIIAN LIST.
First Experiment in Rod and Reel
Fishing in the Islands Made by p. II
Helm Yesterday.

1t is believed that another sport has
been added to those which may be en-
joyed in these Islands. 1t is rod and
reel angling.
There has been more or less talk in
the past of experimenting with this
style of practice in the piscatorial art,
and some talk of the organization of a
rod and reel club. But no actual eX-
perimenting in the matter has been
done so far as is known until yester-
day. Z. r. Helm, of Pearson and Pot
ter went to Waialua to give the matter
a test, and as "a result he believes that
Ia sport almost equal to trout fishing is
open to anglers in the waters of this
territory.
In Pearson & Potter's window today
are displayed the trophies of MIR.
Helms experiment. One of these tro-
phies is small ulua caught with rod
and reel from the rocks on the shore
lat the joint just below Haleiwa. This
beautiful fish was caught in the pres
ence of nearly all the guests of the no
tel after struggle which proved the
ulua to be a game fish worthy of the
best efforts of Izaak Walton's discf-,
pies.
This specimen" says Mr.. Helm,
though small one proves the quality
of his species. OF course the sport in
different from trout fishing, though
comparable to it, My rod was a twelve
foot one with about 125 feet of line on
the reel, and before l captured my tro-
ply, he had carried out at least 100
feet of my line, and taxed my skill and
art. The ulua is not quite as quick as
trout, but is stronger, and quite as
gamey.
Il have always claimed that there
was rod and reel fishing in the waters
about these islands, and my belief has
been shared by others. But l never
made the actual experiment until yes
/ terday. l went out in a canoe with
two natives yesterday to some fishing
banks of which they knew. We went
out should say about a mile. Sound
ings showed eleven fathoms of water.
Here 1 caught an oio about twenty
five inches in length, and a lai about
fifteen inches in length. Neither OF
these was nearly so gamey as the ulua
caught afterwards, but still they af-
forded sport of an exhilirating charac-
ter. The natives in the canoe fished
with rods without reels, and were sue
cessful, but this style of fishing lacks
the exhilirating quality which the reel
adds.
Il am convinced however that the
lulua at some distance from the shore,
say two or three miles, where the
larger specimens of the species are
found, will furnish rod and reel sport
of an exciting character. All that L
feel l have absolutely accomplished is
the demonstration that we have fish in
these waters capable of affording first
class piscatorial sport. A great deal
of experimenting will yet have to be
done to demonstrate the best class of
tackle to be used, and the best places
and conditions for the sport. But these
are the very things which will add
zest to those who really and thorough
Ily enjoy rod and reel"
