play.
The girls-bless their rosy cheeks
and smiling lips-can be flags when
flags are needed and pin wheels when
pin wheels are to be set off. You
know, girls, how gracefully the flag
moves 10 the top of the pole and its
pretty fiutterings at the head of a
procession"
Uncle Sam, having given names to
all the players, proceeds to explain.
Now, young Americans, | will tell
you story that will bring in all your
names When yours is mentioned
jump up and act just as if you were

forgets to respond to his name I'll
send an officer of the government af-
ter him. Johnny, get pad and PEN
Gil. I'll make you United States Sher-
if. Take down the names of the
slOwpokes, and after the game they
will be tried by a jury of friends and
neighbors and expelled from our
trust as American citizens"
Uncle Sam seats himself and be-
gins his story.

into the sky. When all the varieties
had been seen we were too crazy 10

got in line and marched around. The
flags waved and the air was filed

TAM PONG DENIED A RETRIAL
AND GIVEN SHORT TERN IN
JAIL.

Tam Pong the Waikiki celestial who
has persisted in having one too many
wives for several years, despite the
fact that he was convicted and put to
good deal of trouble a year or two.
and warned several times since, was
this morning sentenced to three
months Imprisonment and to pay the
costs of the prosecution, following
his conviction by the jury last Friday.
Tam made a speech to the court
through an interpreter following his
sentence, arguing for a new trial on
the grounds that he had not had a
competent defense.
Judge Dole denied the motion, al
though intimating that urgency Of
time weighed in his decision. He re-
minded the Chinaman, however, that
the court had given him every chance.
Tam Pong may consider that he got
off lightly under the circumstances.

HIS BID CERTIFIED

Bids were opened at noon today by
Superintendent of Public Works
Campbell for the construction of a
large amount of sanitary sewers, pro-
vided for by an appropriation of $12,-
600 made by the last Legislature.
There were but three bidders for the
work, and it is possible that each will
get a part of the work, as each one
has part of the work cheaper than
the others.
OF the three bidders-Coucrete Con-
struction Company, A. A. Wilson, and
L. NJ. Whitehouse-Mr Whitehouse' S
check for $1,000 required was not GER
titled as was one of the conditions in
the call for bids. Whether or not this
will cause his bid to be thrown out,
will depend on the opinion of the At

submitted.
