FROM THE NENSMAN'S NOTES

honest sweat stood out on his man |
ly brow; in his mouth was a big, |
black and ancient pipe; under one
arm was a green tin OF tobacco AMI
under the other was a gray, worn Of
fee coat. Prosser was moving.
You husky homesteaders with big
bathing tanks, have care how you
celebrate in the dead of night.
Not many nights ago a resident OF
the Makiki section was awakened
from slumber, at the bewitching
hour Of 1 a. m, by what appeared
TO him as the most heartrending out
cries. As he came out OF the trance
OF slumber and the half dream
dawned into real fact. he was wor-
ried. The screams did not cease, hut
at irregular intervals burst out with
energy renewed-and 1t was a siren
uous yell from the start First he
raised his head from the pillow. Az
ter awhile he got up. Finally there
being no let-up, he went to the door.
The yells continued And what
strained at his heart strings with
greatest power was the fact that a
woman's cry was frequently to be
discerned in the bedlum. In order
that his conscience might be clear OF
guilt, II crime were being committed.
the old resident called up the police
station and told his story to the Of
| ficer In charge. He said he thought
some of the men from the warships
must be causing trouble somewhere.
The policeman promised to find out.
Then the small boy OF the family,
no had been aroused by the racket.
thought he would take walk
around on his own account. He went
cut into the night and followed the
sound. 1t led him to the vicinity Of
most reputable citizens home. In
the yard is big bathing tank. From
all the boy could make out, most
jolly bathing party was being held
and the hour of the night did not
nbate the enthusiasm OF the guests.
So you fellows with bathing tanks
take care that you don't have n po-
liceman ask whether you are killed
or only playing tag.
