who resides out at Waikiki, chose
tramcar drivers are the worst ever One
night / had a little fun with one of
them. l was the only passenger on the
car when it turned off at the last
switch on the road to Waikiki. The dri-
yer wrapped his lines around the
brake and, sitting down on the steps,
went fast asleep. After some ten or
fifteen minutes the car he was waiting
for came along and passed, going into
town. He still slept. and, being more
curious to see what would happen than
l was anxious to get home, L just let
him sleep. Upon my word, I waited
over twenty minutes. What woke him
up finally was the arrival of another
car from town; the car pulled out on
the switch behind ours, and the driver
of it must have been asleep, too, for
it came humping into our car, the mules
shying off at different angles. Mean
while another car was about due going
into town, and there was a dispute
about what should be done | had the
satisfaction of giving the driver
roast, and probably my remarks hast
ened his decision to resume his jour
ney; anyway, we ambled off the switch
and started on towards Waikiki, meet
ing the last car as it was coming in
| little further on, and getting mixed up
in whole lot of pilikia. 1t took us
over half an hour TO get out of the
mess.

! Punch the nose of the passenjaire;
Hit him twice and lift his hair
Make him pay a double fare

! line one windy day a lady who lost her
/ back hair thought it was a long time
between switches.

We're skimmin' along" said he, "at
about eight knots an hour, an had a
pair of bicycles in tow, when some
body hailed us off the weather-side,

stop. He had been holdin' the sheet,
