lin Jitsu at the Mail Dock.

One hundred and sixty-six of the
Japanese brought from the Orient in
the steerage of the liner Korea were
transferred yesterday to the steamship
Peru, which sailed at noon for Pana-
ma and way ports. The Japanese are
going to Salina Cruz under contract
to work on the Mexican railroad. The
little brown section hands objected to
the transfer and for a while put up
a lively resistance They had been
told, they said, that the journey from
here to Salina Cruz would be by rail.
They were all subject to seasickness
and every Jap Of them vowed he had
no stomach for a further taste of life
on the bounding billow.
I'VE will make honorable resistance
to the violent demands of our base de-
ceivers' was the ultimatum issued from
the Koreas steerage.
I'll fix EN-" said doughty COM
pany official. '1'll just yank one OF
them along and the others will follow
like sheep"
The official selected a fair sized
brown man for the experiment. He
grabbed at the Jap. Nobody knows
Just what followed, but when the dust
cleared the official was sitting on the
deck watching with bewildered interest
the smiling face of the man he had In
tended to "yank."
The official made his report to the
company's office a few minutes later.
His message ran: 'Diplomatism' will
have to be used to move them Japs'
That Jew gypsum is too much for
me-"
"Diplomatism" prevailed and the
transfer was accomplished without fur
ther trouble.
The Peru carried full cargo ano
about a score Of cabin passengers.

ostentatiously or to rattle the doorknob
before invading the family circle, where
some wonderful Christmas present may
be in course of evolution. In fact, the
"Christmasy" feeling is getting into
our veins, and social gatherings every
where, great and small, are the more
enjoyable because of ii. Perhaps that
is why there seems to be no cessation

HONOLULU, Nov. 19.-There is a
weird story from the island of Maui
Living at Hama is a native family
named Kilinahe. The family was
quite well to do until short time ago.
when the elder member of the family
dreamed that his dead child appeared
and told him that, on November %, a
floating island would appear at Hama
for them and they must be ready to
leave their homes and go on the floating
island. The child announced that he
would be on a rainbow which would
connect the Hama point with the island.
He would guide them along the rain
bow to the new land.
So impressed was the elder Kilinahe
with the story that be told his family,
and all agreed to prepare for the ar
rival of the island. The family has been
disposing of their property ever since
and the family home has been turned
into a church. The bones of the child
were disinterred, for according to the
dream the child would come to life
again and meet the family when the
island came. After getting on the island
all the family will float away into the
sea and live in peace and plenty. A
number of other natives in the Hama
neighborhood are trying to sell out ir

Mother Elephant and Her Baby

A remarkably intelligent elephant
working a few years ago on a new
bridge in Ceylon had a young one to
which she was devoted. 1t died, and
she became inconsolablc.
Formerly the gentlest of creatures,
she grew irritable and even dangerous.
One morning she broke the chain
which confined her and escaped into
the forest.
One night about ten days after her
escape the officer who had been in
charge Of her went out to lie In wait
for bears at a pond in a jungle at
some distance.
AS he and his native attendant were
returning early in the morning the ma
tive silently nudged him, and they
saw in the dim gray light an elephant
with her calf making their way toward
the camp. They both sprang behind
trees, and when the elephants had
passed the native insisted that the old
er one was their old friend the incon-
solable mother.
When they reached the camp they
found that the truant had returned and
had gone from one person to another,
, touching each with her trunk, as If ex-
hibiting her adopted child, which she
had evidently begged, borrowed or
stolen In her absence.
Her good temper and usual docility
returned at once, and her owner
blessed the good fortune which had
enabled her to procure baby ele-
phant.
