Editor a. c. C.-Inspired by an article
which appeared in a recent number of
the a. c. c. from the pen OF rising
lawyer Che has risen over six feet al

be of interest to some of your readers

Europe at the present time 1t is some
what surprising to think that in Dresden

Campbells and party Otto Isenbergs,
Mrs. Walter Hoffman and DR.. James

lily. Mrs. Knudsen, DR.. and Mrs. Day,
and the Crops are all expected here
shortly, while scattered about through
other parts of Europe are the Paul Isen-
bergs, DR.. Hoffman, Suhrs, T. NJ. Star
key, Capt. Ahlborn and family, the
Renjes. Alex. Youngs and Mr.. J. F.
Hackfeld, so that on the whole the ISL

stuck up themselves, and that is Poi.
What would not any good Hawaiian give
for big calabash of poi? And the echo

ever since leaving Honolulu, we have
been very agreeably surprised to note
how well the Islands seem 10 be known
abroad. For instance, after leaving the
last of our fellow passengers from Homo
lulu at Banff we went to Winnipeg,
where a gentleman who had seen an
item in one of the local papers about
party from Honolulu being at the Clar-
endon Hotel sent up his card. 1t ep
peared that he had a son in Honolulu
and another in South Africa fighting the
Beers. Both in Toronto and Montreal We
had the pleasure of meeting people who
had friends or relatives on the Islands
At the Exposition at Buffalo, b. and l
put our names to list of 20 or more
Island people already registered at the
Cyclorama building. While at the Ex-
position we felt in duty bound to hunt up
the Hawaiian Government Educational
exhibit, so after discovering the building
1t was in, we asked one OF the ushers

and that while we knew ii was some
where in that building we could not find
it. He said that though he did not know
where ii was himself. he thought he
knew a man who did, and was good
enough to point him out. With the as
sistance of this man we finally discover

without the aid of an experienced guide

their respects. Miss Dawson was not
