low in thunder can we nave tourists
if there are no steamers to bring
thcm?"
But, kind and generous sir, an
swer me this question: Why no
steamers"
Say, you amt Chester Doyle in
disguise, are you? Why we got no
steamers, is it? Say, I'm from Mis-
souri,. Even the Japs are leaving the
| place"
"Gadzooks! Sheath! Blood Let
me get back to civilized parts of the
globe.
And gathering my good blade
close to my side, shook from my feet
the dust of city, known as the Par
adise of the Pacific, which hath not
the gumption to control steamship
service that will bring in the dough
Koolauloa has a deputy sheriff
who is making a record for himself
of kind. His name is Naomi
which suggests Naomi of the many
sobs-and some of the stories that
come out of Koolauloa about him are
| weird.
Naomi evidently intends to enforce
the law against gambling clear up
to the handle The frivolously in
clined of Koolauloa who have in the
bast been in the habit of looking
upon the card when it had spots up
on it have all reformed now. They
have been scared into it. For it is
not long since Naomi showed what he
could do. a certain man of the dis
trict, and his wife, sat down one
evening to have little game OF
cards before retiring for the night
Upon them swooped Naomi and, flash
ing his star, placed them under ar
rest and took them to the lookup
Not long since the President OF
the Board of Health, so a report
runs, heard of two people in Naomi S
district who were suspected of being
lepers Word was sent to the deputy
Isheriff to arrest them.
Nothing doing. Naomi sends back
word that he is not an officer of the
Board of Health and has no right
to do anything of the kind. Again
he was instructed by the Sheriff &c
carry out the order and again he re-
fused. Then the Sheriff sent hin
word that if he insisted, he would be
appointed temporarily an officer o
the Board of Health in order that he
might make the arrest.
The deputy sent back word that
under the law he could not hold two
positions at once.
Argument and persuasion were
useless, and in the end the Sheriff
had to go down himself to get thu
people.
Honolulu is going to the dogs,

whole Island of Oahu, for year ant
half. And we used to have one ev

and sometimes two or three aloni
curing the week.
Let me see" and the man who's
business it is to chase evil-doers re
, ferred to his scrap-book and turne
a few pages of horrors. Let me sec
Yes; the last big murder. premeditat
ed, | mean, was the Johnson case
and that took place way back in Jan
uary of 1906.
+ I'VE did have a little case down a

$ amount to anything. We have
Japanese murderer in Jail now, wait
