ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
that he knew the people We're tired of
sitting. IF you want money spent
here" said the Secretary, you should
not have given US such a splendid
feast. If you want to give the impress
| sion of being hard up you should have
offered the Governor only can of sal
mon and a cracker"
George Bell also made a few remarks
on behalf of the people, thanking the
Governor for coming and promising
him Waimea's support.
THE DANCE.
After the luau the hall was cleared
for the dance and although there was
shortage of girls the visitors had a
jolly time.
A PLEASING INCIDENT.
One of the pleasing incidents of the
Waimea visit was the presentation to
Gov. Carter of a five-dollar gold piece
by Merchandising, an old native. 1t
used to be the custom of the Hawai-
ians to bring gifts to their chiefs, AMI
this old man made his Offering to help
along the Governor, whom he hailed as
the greatest of all chiefs. The Offering
was accepted and Mr.. Carter offered
re be the keiki Child of the old man,
but the latter declined and said he was
the keiki, and the Governor the father
of them all. What made the incident
the more notable was the fact that
kahoohanohano is quite a poor man,
and the five dollars probably repre-
sented the bulk of his worldly wealth.
He is the oldest native on the Parker
ranch and earns his living now by skin
ming dead cattle about the place. For
these hides he receive twenty-five cents
apiece and naturally his gift to the
Governor meant months of labor to
him.
