They possess no ardent cuss words over

In japan.
When the wind blows off their hats
When their darlings prove untrue,
When they slip and crack their Stats,
Oh, l wonder what they do
In japan?
Does the hammer never fall upon a
thumb
In Japan?
Do insistent bill collectors never come
In Japan?
When they think they We got downstairs
And the bottom's far away,
II the Jap man never swears,
Oh, wonder what they say
In japan?
Do they never miss the last car at night
In Japan?
Do they never hit the sidewalk when
they light,
In Japan?
When they put in all their cash
And are therefore brought to grief
When the market goes to smash,
How do they obtain relief
In Japan?
Do the people never chance to step on
tacks
In Japan?
Do they never get their fingers caught in

When they don new clothes aud find

PostoMce Ruling.

Rules to be followed when you
are in the postottice. Do not mail
your letters until time to close the
office looks more business like to
rush III just at tile time of closing.
Never put stamps un letters until
you g6t to the Office; then ask the
postmaster to lick ana stick them
for you. And il you decide to put
them ON yourself, lick each one two
or three times to get the gum off
then ask for lnucilage. Done pay for
stamps until they arc stuck on, es-
peciaiIy il there are several others
waiting for their turn, This gives
the postmaster chance to rest.
1t it makes no difference to YOU,
put part Of your stamps on the left
hand corner and some on the back
of ! our letter. This will insure you
q happy remembrance in the pray;
ers OF the happy one who cancels

When you want money order
cashed don't sign it right the first

and then it " ill have 10 be erased
ahd corrected.
1t the postmaster tells you TO put
two cents on paper say 10 him
that you have seen larger papers
60 for one cent. This is evidence
that he don't know how much to

SENTENCED
TO A FEED
High Sheriff and Deputy
Give Luau to
Police.

you have all pleaded guilty of be-
ing hungry. l now sentence you to sit
down and eat just as much as you pos
sibly can"
And there was not a man in the whole
ninety lined up before Police Judge
Whitney who asked for a Communication
of that sentence. For it was at the
luau given by High Sheriff Henry and
Deputy Sheriff Rawlins to the police
force and the clerical force of the police
court, and il was not a sight before
them that would prompt men to absen-
tation from the pleasures of appetite.
The viands, most of them, had been
cooking all of Saturday night in the
spacious linus at Police Captain Par
ker's place, with Apana as chief cook
and Captain Parker himself superin-
tending chef. There were four pigs
cooked in banana and ii leaves and so
well done that they literally fell apart
into succulent morsels of juicy richness
when the wrappings were taken from
them. There were mullet done up in
leaves and still so smoking hot. that
Apana and his corps of assistants had
to dip their hands in water when serv-
ing the fish. There We're packets of
lau lau, which fairly dripped with spicy
juices through their wrappings of green
leaves. There were great bowls of poi.
with the dried opulu fish alongside that
goes with that fattener. There were
baked taro roots and bowls of chicken.
And, to crown all, were golden oranges
and bottles of soda and ginger ale as
cold as ice could make them.
Would n man in that crowd have
asked for a remission of the sentence
to eat. Not If he had been an anchor
lite! The men of the police force march
ed into the courtroom, where the ban
quet was spread, two and two, marshall
ed by Captain Parker himself. They
stood at attention under the decora-
lions of American and Hawaiian flags
and green leaves and flowers, while
Policeman Kawaiaea made a prayer.
Then they saluted the Sheriff and his
deputy, who, with Judge Whitney and
a few invited guests, had taken the
head of the table, and fell to with n
will. 1t was one OF the best feeds ever
given in Honolulu and the affair alto
gether one of the most enjoyable.
There We're two long tables down the
length of the room covered with white
cloths, upon which a layer of leaves
was placed, and the tables were filed
as the men We're before they got up
from their seats.
The luau was served at 2 p. m. and
continued during the better part of the
afternoon. Toward the close, when the
first edge of appetite had been taken
off, there were songs and speeches,
and at the last a vote of thanks for
the heads of the department, who had
thus demonstrated to the men under
them that the Christmas spirit ami
mated the Police Department as well
as the balance of the community.

REV. MR.. WESTERvELT'S
INJURIES BETTER

Rev. w. d. Westervelt, whose right
hand was badly burned on Friday night
by the explosion of acetylene gas, used
for his stereopticon views, is still 9uf-
fering much pain. The tank exploded
in the Manoa Church, where Mr.. West
eryelt was giving Il Christmas entac-
tainment for the children of the valley.
The flames envelopei only the outer
side of the inner tank. Had the inner
tank exploded the results might have
been more serious. AS it was there
was quite a panic among the natives,
who escaped from the building through
windows as well as doors. Afterward
the other parts of the entertainment
went on. The skin was stripped in
places from Mr.. Westervelt's right
hand while he was hurrying the blaz-
ing tank out of the church.

Elected Last Chief of the Choc-

Tuskahoma Party.
He GETS VERY LARGE MAJORITY
Hunter Concedes and Sends a
Message of Congratulation.
No Troops Were Need
ed This Time.

The Choctaw tribe of Indians
held their last gubernatorial elec-
ton last Wednesday, as their
tribal government comes to a
close in 1905.
A great deal of interest wa
manifested and the opposing
parties put up great fight.
The election was for governor,
senator, representatives and all
othef district and county officers,
Representing seventeen counties.
The returns show that the elec-
ton WAS victory for the Tuska-
homA, or McCurtain patty, as
against the Protective or Hunter
facti Pn. Atoka county went lie
majd drity for McCurtain and the
ticket, with one precinct, which
is a McCurtain stronghold, to
hear from; Tobuxky county gave
N britain 150 majority, Kiami-
tl.A lounty gave him 90, Red
River connty99 and Blue % ma
jority. The Tuskahoma ticket,
with Dave Hodges as an excep-
ton, was elected by about two to
one.
Green McCurtain headed the
tictet for chief and was re- elect
ed by an overwhelming majority
over Thomas w, Hunter, carry

teen counties.
The contest was a hot one from
start to finish, several scraps
taking place between the. ardent
supporter, of the various candi-
dates, but no rioting.
Hunter, it is stated, has con-
C ded McCul tain's election and
has forwarded to the chief a let
ter of warm congratulation. This
means that there will be no con-
test and that it will not require
either the United States troops OF
a squad of Indian Police to seat
the governor as was the case two
years ago.

HOLDENVILLE EXCITED.
Plan to Establish Negro Hotel
There the Cause.

Muskogee, l. T. August L.
The citizens of Holdenville are
again excited over the plan to es-
tablish a negro hotel there. AS
mentioned in these dispatches, as
soon as the hotel was furnished
it was raided and the furniture
thrown into the streets. A meet
ing OF the Commercial club was
held, st which it was decided that
the hotel was a good thing for the
town. That same night the ho-
tel was dynamited and practically
wrecked. The feeling runs so
high at Holdenville that it is not
likely that the negroes will get a
foot hold there.
The officers here have been ad-
v'sed that a party of negroes got
off at one depot and started to
another to take the tirst train out,
and were followed by gang of
ormed men, who made threats
and at one time proposed not to
allow them to remain until the
train came in. Not only is there
trouble between the negroes and
whites, but tie people and press
of Holdenville have made charg-
es against the officers that they
were derelict in answering their
call for assistance to quell the dis
turbance.
