! ! am afraid the Bystander is too sus-
! picious. Last Saturday / wrote a lit
tie article calling attention in most
jocular spirit TO the fact-mOre notice
able in the Bystander's own paper, the
Advertiser, than I'm any other-that I'm
connection with the work Of the police
/ department, Sheriff Iaukea's name was
seldom mentioned, while Chief Of De-
tective Taylor's Vas frequently mem
toned / called attention to some Of
the phrases frequent i'm the papers. In
none more frequent than I'm the Adver-
tiser. such as Taylor caught this one, %
and Taylor caught that one" and the
"Chief OF Detectives, etc.. and THE
Chief, etc., transcripts in nearly every
instance from the Advertiser. Then
made the suggestion, entirely jocular
both I'm spirit and in manner that two
years from now the Republicans might
point with pride to the work accom-
plished by a fellow Republican, and
who knows but II might be Sheriff
Taylor
The Bystander at once accused me
Of trying to make Iaukea jealous Of
Taylor! So quick is the Bystander ia
resent the suggestion, Notwithstanding
that the whole article bore evidence
Of having been written in pleasantly
that one might suspect he had been de-
tected in a secret plan to actually
bring about the fulflment Of what ]
had jocularly suggested.

home it was in the early morning with
the assistance of a less affected friend
1t appears that they had gone to &
luau. A birthday luau. Every NAL,
guest was supposed to put dollar in.
to the calabash for the benefit of the
child whose natal day was being cele
brated. Finally the booze ran out sc
somebody proceeded to tap the Gala
bash to buy more. The result was tina
when the mother went to count owe
the funds that calabash looked like Ok
Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Then tn,
calabash was passed around once NOR,
, and everybody dug up another dollar
I When the booze would run out the cal
abash would, be tapped again to blu!
more liquor. They played that gam
until o'clock in the morning and an
given to understand that when tn
guests left the contents of that Gala
) bash We're in much the same condition
, for cash as an overdrawn bank ac
. count. Everybody enjoyed the birth
, day luau but the baby.

Some people who came up from
Tahiti on the Mariposa were tell
ing their experience in that primitiy
country. "They have four kinds 0
money down there" said one o
them, "Chile money, French money
Good money, and matches. Chilea
money is really the currency of tn
country although of course Frenc
money is the legal tender. Good
money is American money. That
what they call it, and that's the wa,
they feel about II. There is no fiy
f. cent piece in the Chilean currency
= and so whenever five cents is necei
sary to make change you are give
two boxes of matches.
"The French government, howeve
is trying to drive out the Chilea
silver currency and substitute for
the French coinage AS fast as Chi
can money is received by the govern
ment for taxes it is shipped to Sa
Francisco to be recoined The Mar
: posa has about $4,000 of it aboart
The natives are accustomed to III
] Chilean currency and do not like til
proposed change"
