of bay rum, three shaving cups and
brushes and box of face powders
completes the furniture of this
shaving parlor.
1t was between II and IL o'clock
on a Sunday when a man was seen
sailing before the trade wind and
heading for Nawiliwili. His arms
swinging to and fro, his coat-tails
flying in the wind and his legs
stretching to their utmost, he was
walking with the rapidity and
looks of one who has no love for
the beautiful. On approaching he
was seen to be a man of medium
height, rather well built; with face
covered by a stubby beard, the
growth of some weeks; his dark
brown hair reaching to his shout
ders, crying loudly for a pair of
scissors. His features belonged to
that class of human beings COM
monty termed "haole." As he en-
tered the village the owner of the
, above described shop was the first
one to greet him:
caro-" said the Mikado's sub
ject. "Mahea you 90, - horo-
horo!"
mo; I come get my hair CUT
said the haole, trying to initiate
the scissors with his fore and mid
die fingers in his hair.
"Ah! You too slow"
"What's the matter9 Why am l
too slowl Come; l am in hur-
ry."
;, "No can; too late. You morn
ing time wikiwiki come, bright /;
: now no can. Too much pilikia."
GLOW pilikia9 Are you strik-
ing for higher wages or did one of
your kids use your razors to cut SUI
gar canel Come, run lawn-mow-
err or hoe over my head and face.
: / have no time to spare" The
: haole's temper was rising. He ar
gued the point, but the Oriental
only kept on shaking his head
t mournfully. Finally the other
t asked him the reason why he re-
fused to cut his hair.
"Wha's mara you? You nc
know today Sunday Z" retorted the
: Jap. eleven o'clocko pau"
4 "The devil it is" said the haole,
"And you know when it is Sunday
I in this Godforsaken place! And
Q you know when it is II o'clock too
Q Well, that beats me. But whats
: there to stop you from shaving me
because it is Sunday and after l |
5 o'clock Z"
4 Then the man from Oyama',
5 land, with the aid of an obliging
: bystander, undertook to explain tC
: that blockheadcd haole that the
Legislature had undertook to lay
down some rules as to how the peo
c pie of this Territory should spenc
3 the Sabbath. He was given to I'm
7 ,derstand that the shops could be
: kept open till II o'clock only.
A "Aha !" said the haole, chats it
: is it! Your members of the Leg
stature want you fellows to go tC
: Heaven whether you like or not, il
l that it. You people are lucky t.
Q have lawmakers that look after thu
welfare of your souls. In good ole
California the Legislators don't g
to such trouble. Perhaps they
could not do it; the place being Sc
big and having so many people
They could not take care of then
: all. Still, I believe that Califor
/; MAS way of doing things is the
best. If a man wants shave OF
J a Sunday he generally gets it, nc
!, matter what o'clock it is; unless
l the BARRIERS are all out on strike
: or gone to a picnic, and it hardly
; ever happens that every one o.
them will do it. Besides l dom
i believe in any government telling
7 its people how to spend a certain
day; especially in the United
q States. Let them make laws pro
