NCKY BEAN SAVED SAILOR.
Providence Placed Talisman in His
Hand When He Was Thrown Un>
conscious Among Cannibals.

Of all the many mysterious products
of the ocean, none can compare with the
sea-bean. Scientists are divided as to
its origin, as no one has ever seen the
shrub or vine on which it grows, and it
is never found save when the bosom of
the deep has been rent by hard storm,
when the sea-beans, cast forth from
some mysterious depth, are found scat
tered along the beach, derelicts of the
tide. There are numerous varieties,
large and small, and some are very rare,
especially the large liver bean, and the
banded bean. The savage tribes which
inhabit the South Seas regard them as
almost sacred, and look upon the lucky
possessor of one of the rare varieties as
particularly favored by the gods. Dusky
bellies, having in their possession these
rare products of the deep, will fight for
their treasure against all corners, as they
believe that the sea-bean gives them I'M
usual power, especially in love, and that
any man on whom their affections are
set, must yield to their charms if they
but touch him with the lucky bean.
One touch of the bean binds their lover
to them forever.
Mr.. Leak, manager of the Stanislaus
county exhibit cars from California, is
the fortunate possessor of rare speci-
men which has thrilling history which
would seem to prove the superstition of
the savages Of the South Sea Islands.
1t was given to him by sailor friend,
who was wrecked in mighty storm which
swept the tropical seas. The sailor, un-
conscious and nearly dead, was washed
ashore on an island, and when he recov-
cred his senses he found himself SUP
rounded by crowd Of savage men and
women. They were cannibals, and his
fate would undoubtedly have been a hor-
rible one, but suddenly native saw
grasped in the sailors hand, one of the
rarest of the sea- beans. Where it came
from and how it happened that he held it
when he was cast upon the beach he
never knew, but the superstitious ma
tives looked upon him as one especially
protected by the gods, and the bean
proved to him lucky one indeed for it
undoubtedly saved him from terrible
fate. Some years ago Mr.. Leak be-
friended this old sailor in San Francisco,
and as a reward this lucky bean was
presented to him, and he values it high
ly. 81 am not superstitious," said Mr..
Leak in speaking of this bean, which he
has had made into watch charm, but
| have not had any very bad luck since
l was presented with the lucky bean by
my old sailor friend Seth"

There are two reasons for this.
First, woman naturally-I don't know

PRETTY DINNER
Ladies' of Congressional Party
Are the Guests of the
Younger Set.

The ladies of the Congressional party
were entertained last night by few
members of the younger set OF the city
at dinner. The Waikiki diningroom of
the Young hotel was used for the oc-
casion and the decorations were eff
feetive, though very simple in design.
The center of the circular table, at
which plates were laid for twenty, was
decorated with red carnations while
opposite each plate was an electric
candle, shaded in the same color as
the flowers. Over the heads of the
party were long streamers in which
pink asters were twined with male.
The dinner was followed by an IN,
formal dance, and music for both was
furnished by Ernest Kaal's quintet
club. Chef Louis Chevalier put forth
his utmost efforts that the dinner might
be a success and there was nothing
lacking in the line of good things to
eat and drink. The menu, in which
there were a number of dishes which
were served for the first time in Ho-
noIulu was as follows:
