Hardtimes Dance.

Last Friday night the Walden Star
Dancing Club gave another of their
popular hops at the City Hall. 1t
was "hard times" affair, and from
the ragged dresses Of boys and girls
you would think times were tough IN
deed. But it was difficult ptoposi-
ton to reconcile rags and the dexter
GUS agility with which the performers
sped over tho floor. Among the
most hopeless looking cases on the
boys side were Clyde Webb and Roy
Wood, as close second, while Wash.
Alderdice took the prize. They were
followed by Orley Lewis, Boon Nc
Callum, Ovid Allard, Clarence Webb,
Lindsey Coc, Fred McAvoy, Charles
Bohn, Al. Green, Albert Rogers, For

Pearl Stout, was indeed an object of
charity, but for the lurking smile that
kind O. gave the thing away. The
judges, in giving their decision,
awarded the prize for the laegcdest
couple to Wash. Alderdice and Pearl
Stout. Grace and Ethel Stout were
good specimens of poverty in rags,
while Della Dawson, Sophia Brocker,
were well patched up, but otherwise
looked neat. Alice Shippey covered
her poverty in faded cloak. Miss

had fun, and that's wha. they were

James Nelson of LeadviIe Colo One of the Herd.
- 9e-as = =

! One of the prominent antlered mem
bers of the Best People on Earth who
came to Honolulu to install the officers
of the first Elks' organization in the
Hawaiian Islands, is James Nelson. OF
Leadville, Colorado. In the Centennial
State, Elk Nelson is the district depu-
ty, G. E. r., B. P. o. E., for the west
ern jurisdiction of Colorado Not only
is he an Elk, but he is a ShrIner of
prominence, and stamps his cards with
lei Jebel Temple, Denver"
Mr.. Nelson came to Honolulu with
letters of introduction 10 prominent
Honolulans from A. V Hunter, the
millionaire mine owner of LeadvilIe.
who has frequently wintered here. Mr..
Nelson is not possessed of the six fig
ures that Hunter counts so easily, but
the two began mining and business
life in Leadville at the same time.
When Mr.. Nelson came to Leadville
in the latter part of the 70's there
We're real elks to be found and shot
within easy reach or the courthouse
He is one of the pioneers of the town
that became celebrated the world over
as the toughest city on the globe"
Leadville was certainly a hard place in
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-04-18

its early days, and men carried their
pistols in their coat pockets. The
dead men of Leadville of 1S7S-1SS2 usu-
ally came to that estate by the pistol
route, and Mr.. Nelson made the most
of their tragic ends. He was the I'M
dertaker in those days and had his
hands full In the days when the
vigilance committee performed its no.
bic work, sometimes by giving the
twenty four hour leave notice, and
sometimes by the hangman's moose,
Mr.. Nelson had as much work to per-
form as the sheriff. While he looked
after the dead men that told no tales,
A. V. Hunter dug persistently into the
rich silver lodges that surrounded the
silver camp, found some of the white
metal discovered gold later on and
became a millionaire in a few days
Big ingots of gold can be seen daily
piled up in the outer corridor of the
Carbonate National Bank over which
Hunter presides. No one thinks or mo-
testing them, as two men with revolt
vers stand near by to see that 1t does
not walk out of the front door,
Mr.. Nelson was to have come to
Honolulu with the Shriner caravan,
but decided to remain over in Califor-
MIA until the Exalted Ruler of the Elks
and his party came along. He is one
of Leadville's solid business men, and
is prominent in it's affairs. While In
Honolulu he is occupying the Snow
cottage at the Hawaiian Hotel.

ROMANCE OF
SOUTH SEAS
Continued from Page 80

While we were on the island several
earthquakes happened and some of
them pretty severe. On those occa-
sions the natives were much terrified;
they would not let their children speak
a word, and they said among them
Iselves-zahbeetoo Yarris, Tobee yet
ltshmen-that is, Yarris tGod) is com
ling Tobee (the name of the island) will
Isink. They were also. very much alarm
ed at thunder and lightning, and used
to say at such times, Yarris teetree,
God is talking. 1 do not know how
they would be affected by an eclipse as
none happened, that l noticed, while we
remained there.
I will here mention some other things
| in respect to their customs and usages,
as they now occur to me-
Their implements of war are spears
! and clubs; they have no bows and ar
rows. Their spears are made of the
wood of the cocoanut trees; the points
| of them are set with rows of sharks
teeth, and, being at the same time very
heavy and from ten to twenty feet long,
are formidable weapons.
Their canoes are made of logs which
drift to their island from other places,
there being no trees on it large enough
for that purpose; they are followed
out with great labor and are of very
clumsy workmanship; to prevent their
overseeing they are fitted up with out
riggers, like those of the Pelew island
ers.
They kindle their fires, as they in
formed me, by rubbing two pieces of
wood together, as is common in the is
dc Of ~
cook their turtle or other meat (when
they are SO fortunate as to have any,
as well as their vegetables, by cover
ing them with heated stones. I should
state, however, that during the whole
time we stayed among them, fire was
always preserved in some part of the
island, so that there was no necessity
for kindling it in the manner here men
toned.
Like other savage people, they reckon
time by moons; I could not learn that
they ever reckoned by any other period
except, indeed, when speaking of two
or three days.
They take pride in their hair and are
particularly careful about it, washing
and cleansing it almost every day
They do not color it, however as the
natives of some islands are said to do,
but they moisten it with the juice press
ed out from the cocoanut, which gives
1t very glossy appearances; and it is
frequently so long as to reach down to
their waist.
Their mode of sa1utation Is to clasp
each other in their arms and touch
their noses together, as is practiced in
many other islands
We found no musical Instruments of
any kind among them. They some
times, on particular occasions would
sing or brawl out something like rude
tune, but we could not understand il
We frequently tried to teach them to
whistle and their awkward attempts to

do it amused us; but they were never
able to learn how it was done.
In their names I could not find that
they had anything like family name,
but only a single one corresponding to
our Christian names), as is the case,
believe, throughout the islands of the
Pacific. / could not learn that the
names were significant either of ami
mails or other objects, as the Indian
names of America are, and I never
found two persons of the same name.
The names of the members of the
family with which I lived were as fol-
lows:
Pahrahbooah, the father of the fam
| lily
Nahkit, the mother.
Buhwurtimar, the eldest child, a son,
ten or twelve years old.
kobawut, the second. a daughter.
Kobahnoouk, the third, a daughter
Wahrebo, the fourth a son.
The children do not auuress their
parents by any word corresponding to
father or mother, papa or mamma, but
by their names. Their parents treat
! them on footing of equality; they are
generally well behaved and are never
punished except occasionally when i'm
patient for their food.
| Their language appears to be differ
ent from those of the other islands in
that quarter; we found that the three
natives of the Pelew islands that ac-
companied US coulaondt hrdluouapauo
accompanied US could not understand
anything they said; though I observed
afterwards, occasionally, esemblance
lin two or three words. The reader will,
however, be able to judge for himself
by means of short vocabulary of COM
mon words which will be found at the
end of this narrative. / may add that
the Pelew chiefs had never heard of
Lord North's island, but they are &C.
quainted with the Caroline islands.
detail of all. that befell US would
serve only to give pain to the benevo-
lent, or at most to show how much
human beings can endure. 1 shall at
tempt but little more than TO describe
the sufferings of day; observing
once for all, that for the term of two
long years we experienced the same
prlVations, and We're subjected to the
same brutal treatment; life, during all
that time, being no better than the
sufferings.
This island, unlike the Pelews. is one
OF the most horrible and wretched on
the face of the globe. The only prod
uct OF its soil worth mentioning is the
cocoa tree; and those are of SO mis-
cradle and dwarfish a growth as TO
bear but very few nuts. These few.
however, constitute the food of the in
habitants. with the exception of a
species of fish caught occasionally near
the shore. The only animals or creep
ing things known on the island are
lizards and mice and during our stay
there, scarcely solitary sea fowl was
known to have alighted on the island,
and but few fish were taken by the
natives.
