The Honoluluans who went to Hilo for
the races of the Fourth Of July,-or, 1
should say, some of them,-came back
with a kick. What do you thing it
was? Why, they said, there was no
Hilo money in sight! 1t appears that
some of the Honolulu bunch went to
the celebration with their eyes on vari>
Gus horses and their pockets ready for
making up stakes. But, they say,
Hilo was broke.-dead, paralyzed, hope
less, busted, and not a cent could be
had. "All we could do,Y mournfully
remarked one of the returning would
be gamblers, was bet among ourselves
and we did that. But we We're wise
to one another, and nothing was did

There are various reports about the
bustedness of the Hawaii metropolis
and the dullness of business, but if it
is so fearfully dull that there is no
one left with coin to back a horse on
the Fourth of July, then indeed has
the mantle of Jonah found a resting
place within our territorial midst.

If the Chinese idea of Matching
chickens grows and finds favor with
the white residents of the town incu-
bator men in this place will not do
much business. The Chinese have an
ingenious way of Matching out their
young ducks and chickens that beats
anything 1 ever saw for ingenuity, the
Yankees not being in it.
This is the day they do it: They
take a common every day bed and
spread their eggs out on it and then
cover them with a blanket. 1t never
fails. In the course of time the eggs
hatch and the young ducks or chickens
are taken forth and raised as if they
had come from a full grown incubator.
Not long ago a Chinese friend of mine
took me to show me his plant. He
that any of the eggs go bad. And
then there is the advantage that the
heat never gets too high and the eggs
get cooked. One need bother no more
with the bed hen than with the old
cackling hen that patiently tends to
her own family. If the Chinese keep
on they will before long rob the Yam
KEGS of their title as being shrewd

l have it on very excellent authority,
just why Captain Tut of the Anemone
lost his cook on the Fourth of July and
haG all his plans for his Fourth of July
yachting party upset.
As originally planned the party "a
board the Anemone for the trip to Pearl
Harbor was to be very small and select
Invitations were issued only to those
who under all the circumstances of
the race, the entertainment here, and
a proper recognition of social regula-
tions, were entitled to invitations. 1t
was not designed as any manifestation
of hearty but not strictly au fait good
fellowship. The owner of the Ane-
none, in this matter was not seeking to
be a good fellow, but a discriminating
host.
Instructions to the cook and steward
were given on that basis. A small
but very select company, with refresh
ments and service in accordance.
But between the orders to the cook
and steward, and the Fourth of July
came the dinner and reception at the
Moana. The dinner came first, and it
was not a large affair either but very
recherche one, l am told. Then came
the reception which was designed to
be the open-handed Jolly to liquidate
all social obligations of the kind that
should properly be given courteous re-
cognition but don't require the for
NAL or ceremonious kind.
But as J said the dinner came first.
There was a fine flow of spirits Gent
atty completely outran forms and cere-
monies, and in that roseate atmosphere
the yacht party seemed just a conti-
nuation of the dinner, and long be-
fore the dinner was over it was, Join
my yachting party on the Fourth de-
lighted to have you" Before the din
ner was over everyone at the table
had been invited and by the time the
dinner was over and the reception be-
gan geniality was trimming over, If
possible, in a still more bountiful
stream, and the invitations to join the
yachting party ON the Fourth flowed
in a continuous stream. Those at the
reception who didn't get an invitation
to the yachting party We're the eXcep-
ton, and were the exception by mere
accident, and have heard it whispered
that some of the exceptions adopted
the theory that he had merely over
looked them. by accident and that it
would be obviously impossible for the
genial Mr. Tut to remember all to
whom he had extended his invitations
and that anyway he would suppose he
must have invited them if he saw them
on the yacht on the Fourth.
When the cook, who had been at
work for snNeral daNs nrenaring for Il
