alton came out and the shippers repu-
tation was indicated. 1t seems that
a friend Of his, parson, lived at Wal
mea, and had a parsonage that could
be readily seen from the sea in good
weather At night the light in his
study shone out brightly over the
landing. 1t was by this light that the
skipper had steered But on the day
of the wreck the parson and his Sun
day school had had a picnic about two
miles away. They had kept the festi-
vities up till late in the evening, and
had built fire that blazed brightly
The parson not being at home, there
was no light in his study and the skip
per, therefore, not seeing it, had mis-
taken the light of the picnic fire for
the study light, and steering by it, had
gone on the rocks with such a crash
that he and the crew were glad to get
ashore with their lives.

To those whose knowledge of lam
guages is limited to the good old Eng
fish and perhaps a smattering of Ha-
waiian, the French language has the
same effect that a ella monster has on
the average mortal. he is afraid to
tackle it. This applies even to Or
binary French words but when a fierce
combination like the name of the
French steamer that was in port re-
Gently, is up for pronunciation the
average man will throw up his hands
especially if he be a deaf mute, and
quit. The name was the Amiral Jaure-
guiberry. l could find nobody here,
who could pronounce the name. Final
ly l hit on the name of the Admiral
"Jag-on" and everyone seemed to un-
derstand that without any trouble.

| see that some of the Holy Rollers
or whatever they call themselves, are
awaiting some kind individual to pro-
duce the cash to enable them to get
out of town and continue their round
the-wOrld mission stunt. in the party
are Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Junk. If
Mrs. Junk is of sufficient years to quail
ify, her husband might sell her for
old junk and raise steerage passage for
the rest of the outfit.

So Hilo has walked up. She is to be
congratulated upon the development
of the commercial spirit as shown in
her vouchers for expenses in entertain
ing the Congressional party. But as
Hilo expects to get the lion share of
the appropriations in the shape of a
million or two for a breakwater, that
the trip of the Congressional party is
expected to produce, probably the town
figured that it might as well start by
cutting a big slice out of that ex-
pcnse watermelon.

So it looks as if the solution of the
club difficulty in the liquor tangle
would lie inside of the private locker
Good. This will be a godsend to the
wholesalers, for there will be more
boOse consumed.
l never hear of a locker but it re-
calls to mind that amusing of Hoyt's
farce comedies, "A Milk White Flag"
In brief, the plot of the farce is based
upon the rivalry of two militia regi-
ments. In the organization that prin-
cipally figures in the show, there is
only one private. Every other mem
Der of the regiment is an officer. The
first scene reveals the headquarters,
showing a row of lockers. In rushes
a citizen dressed in civilian clothes.
Madly he rushes to the locker, dons his
uniform then takes a drink then he
wildly changes his uniform, for his
civilian clothes, and rushes out again.
A visitor to any of our clubs would
probably see the same scene enacted,
except perhaps that the members would
not waste the time to don any special
uniform.
