and took a seat, with two friends.
The hackman was away Soon he re-
turned. He came running up and
announced that he had the gov
ernor" and would the parties who had
hired his hack get out post haste and
make way for His Excellency? No, they
wouldn't They stayed. They remark
ed that the governor could get his own
hack. Soon another official not the
governor, came looking for the hackman
with several ladies. 1t was an ex-
tremely embarrassing situation. for
the occupants of the hack as well as
possibly, for the man who thought he
had hired the hack and didn't
know that it already had been char
tered. Those who chartered the hack
refused to get out, the other party got
another hack and the hackman refused
to drive the men who had employed
him back to town being "sore" at losing
a superior load" Now, the question 1
would like to pass up to the police and
other authorities who regulate hack
mems business is, Has a hackman
who is employed by a passenger and
told to wait for him, a right to spend
the time waiting in hustling for a bet
ter load? If the hackman with his better
load had got to the hack before the
party who employed him, he would
doubtless have left with the better
load and his original employers would
have been stranded. If there is no law
to stop hackmen from playing such
outrageous tricks as this, think there
ought to be.

One of my Southern California
friends here with the party of editors
had a very amusing experience with g
native waiter in a restaurant into
which she had dropped for lunch. She
saw the brown son of the islands COM
ing and she nerved herself for the or
deal. She consulted her souvenir pro-
gram and running over the list OF
translated words she finally found and
said "Pa-Hay-Oe."
"Maikai no" replied the man with &
smile.
The young lady then attempted t

alas they were not there. She hest

thought of the sign language and com

her and kept shaking his head all tn
