HONOLULU, Dec 9.-Sunday night

passenger to China on the steamship
Hongkong Maru.
lie met here many Of the locally prom
inent Chinese, aud had some severe crit
icism to make on the way the exclusion
act is enforced. In an interview Mr.. WI
SAID.
Il find that business men complain Bit
terly OF the way in which the exclusion
act is carried out here. OF course, their
business has suffered through the cutting
out OF laborers but they do not complain
Of this so much as of the outrageous way
in which the immigration authorities
treat merchants, students, and bona fide
travellers.
'As an instance mention young man
OF sixteen who came here to secure an cd
ucation. H had proper papers. but was
Quizzed in many ways by the authorities,
and Of course the boy was not able TO an
swer all questions. He was held. and
after S40O had been spent in trying to
land him an appeal came to me. After a
great deal Of trouble he was allowed to
land"
The minister said that he attributed
the things Of which he complained tc
overzeaIousness on the part Of officials
he also complained Of local customs Off
GERS, saying that they overvalued the i'm
portatiCns Of Chinese.

20 Chance For Him.

Three negro lads met on a street cor
ner one afternoon, and by some queer
freak of Providence each had just 10
cents. This was considerable for them,
and, being so unfortunate as to have
no 'craps," it required much serious
deliberation to arrive at just the best
plan for spending it.
Finally one suggested that they
place their little capital in a pool and
then, each in turn, guess what was
good to eat, the best guesser to take
all Of the money.
This plan met with hearty approval,
as each one had ideas on that subject,
and the 45 cents was soon in a pile.
Then the first one guessed.
"Possum, sweet taters an water
melon" he said.
At this the second one reached down
and began picking up his nickels, but
the third stopped him with: "HoP on
dare! Let dat money lone" To which
the second replied:
you think Ize goin to guess agains'

all der is good ter eatY-Types.

The Land of the Guitar.

In Portugal men play upon the gut
tar as naturally as Yankees whistle
The peasants are universally given to
the instrument, chiefly as an accom-
paniment to the voice. In towns and
villages the artisans are often expert
guitar players and walk in groups to
and from their work, enlivening the
journey with music and song. The
carpenter who comes to your house to
execute small job brings his guitar
with his tools, and the blacksmith Is a
far better performer on the guitar than
the anvil.
When the Portuguese day laborer or
workman has finished his long days
toll, he does not HE him to wineshop
to squander the few cents he has earn
ed; he does not even lean against a
post and smoke or whittle stick
while swapping yarns with his fellows.
If he did not bring his guitar with him,
he goes straight home and gets it, rests
and comforts himself with the music
while supper is being prepared. After
ward he spends the evening singing
doggerel songs to a strumping accom-
paniment, tilted back in chair against
his own house or on the doorstep Of q

LANDED With Eat.

In the good old days when we were
greatly pestered by neighbor's SOW,
or mule, or bull, or dog, invading our
premises and taking unwarranted lib
critics we loaded the old shotgun with
powder and fat meat and, after serving
due notice upon said neighbor and said
notice being ignored, set out to uphold
the first law of nature, self defense.
The amount of execution that can be
done by wad of fat meat on top of
good charge of powder is amazing.
Wherever it strikes hair and hide dis
appear. 1t seldom If ever kills, but
leaves scars that time does not obliter-
ate. The tat being salty, causes excru-
ciating pain, which fingers long in
memory, and the stricken animal does
not offend again.
A tallow candle can be shot through
a two inch oak board without injury to
the candle. In like manner tallow

powder would penetrate mans body

he would not care to 90 dueling again.

Guided by Himself.

The father Of Thomas Jefferson died
in 1857, and the sons situation was
touchingly described by him years aft
erward in letter written to his eldest
grandson when he was sent from home
to school for the first time. 1t is given
in THE True Thomas Jefferson" by
William e. Curtis. The letter was as
follows:
"When I recollect that at fourteen
years of age the whole care and direc-
ton of myself was thrown on myself
entirely, without a relative or friend
qualified to advise or guide me, and
recollect the various sorts of bad COM
pany with which | associated from
time to time, l am astonished that l
did not turn off with some of them and
become as worthless to society as they
were.
81 had the good fortune to become
acquainted very early with some char
acters of very high standing and to
feel the incessant wish that could be-
come as they were"
His father left instructions for his
education and especially enjoined up
on the widow not to permit him to
neglect "the exercise requisite for his
bodye's development" This strong
man knew the value of strength and
used to say that person of weak body
could not have an Independent mind.
