THE jUNKET
IS LIMITED
Only SoIons and Select
Few to Visit
MoIOkai.

The proposed junket to the Leper
Settlement was trimmed of most of its
junketing features by the Board of
Health, at a meeting held yesterday
afternoon, it being decided what the
promiscuous invitation part of the af-
fair which threatened to deluge the
settlement with irresponsible sightseers,
should be omitted and that only
members of the Senate, House and a
limited number of others be permitted
to make the trip.
Superintendent McVeigh, in letter
to the Board, expressed his opposition
to a big crowd going over and said
that not only did he feel that way but
that such was the desire of his wards
as well.
Present were: President Pinkham,
M P. Robinson, F. C. Smith, D. Ka-
lauokalani Sr., DR.. Judd, DR.. Wayson,
Secretary Charloek.
PINKHAM' IS REPORT.
President Pinkham s report to the
Board was follows:
To the Members of the Board of
Health:
Quite a number of complaints have
been made to your officers concerning
the offensiveness of the swill wagons
on the streets of Honolulu at all times
of day.
We have been strict in enforcing the
use of tightly covered containers, but
of course. the cans used to collect the
swill retain a disagreeable odor.
Tt has been suggested no swill carts
be allowed on the streets after $3.50 or
o'clock a. m. I am of the opinion
the people will object to he awakened
very early in the morning by swill
gatherers.
The Board has no power to regulate
the hours, but / am inclined to believe
should suggest to the Board of Super
visors the propriety of limiting swill
gathering to between the hours of
o'clock in the evening until $3.50 in the
forenoon and that the carts must be
off the streets by 9 o'clock in the fore
noon.
r. W. Filler, Esq, has resigned from
the Board of Trustees of Malulani Hos
pital. Mr.. VIM. T. Robinson of Wal
luku has been the only person brought
to my attention for the vacancy and
have written him inquiring if he would
accept the appointment subject to
your confirmation.
The main object of this meeting is to
secure action of the Board relative to
the granting of permits to enter the
Settlement to the Legislature, officials
and a limited number of guests.
My understanding was that each
member was to have the privilege OF
taking two guests with him, that he
was to keep them in charge and for
them and their conduct was to be per
sonally responsible. This is the rep

What We're Comma To,

When William Taft is president, heigho.
In nineteen nine,
How styles will change! No one Of us
will then train down too fine
Horse Jockeys will begin to stuff. and ere
they 90 their rounds
Each one will have to tip the scale at full
two hundred pounds.
May Irwin will not have to bant In one
continuous Lent.
But she can waddle out and sing when
Taft is president.
Thin men OF every shape and size will
hide themselves away.
All hollow cheeks will be tabooed, all
diets will be passee;
All Ratchet faces will be mobbed. Each
girl we love must be
ecstasy.
Round bellied aeronauts must steer bal
looms they represent,
All cooks must sleep in double beds when
Taft 10 president.
The corporations will not be confined to
just a few,
But all the common people will have cor
porations too.
No one will dare TO worry, though in debt
We'll gayly smile;
We might lose flesh by worry, and we
wouldn't be In style.
And, though hard times are coming and
we're broke. we'll still present
Our joyful curves to all the world when
Taft 10 president.

to him the temptation 10 lose at least

scream of fright that echoed down the
gorge for a mile and started the pleas
ants from their hiding places among
the underground. But the scream had
hardly escaped her lips when she was
drawn back again and into the en-
brace of Tom. and the echo Of his
laughter followed that Of the scream.
But when the moment Of surprise
had passed and Tilly had glanced up
int Toms face her cheeks went from
the white light of fear TO the danger
signal Of anger. and she broke from
his arms and stood at bay against the
trunk Of Il poplar. Her bosom rose
and fell unanimously, while two tears
glistened in her eyes. Tom took i step

"Tilly, I--l-are We mad with me?"
Tilly caught her lower lip between
her teeth and remained silent, her fin

For heavens sake, Tilly, tell me ye

But nothing came from lilly save
the sound of her still labored breath

he waited moment The waters Of
the stream swished against the rocks,
but the music Of it did not at that mo-

"Tilly. Oh. Tilly"
The cry came from the depths of his
soul, and the tone of it seemed of cav

lence for an answer, and it cut into
his heart like an edged tool. If he had
taken moment to consider how fright
ehed she would be. this awful situa-
tlon might have been avoided. But 1t

weakness seized Toms limbs, and,
with head still bowed, he sank to his
knees with his hands outstretched I'm

the two unshed tears slipped from the

the tears from her cheeks and turned

Tom could not be dead.
Tuesday Tilly crept through the lau-

and went on slowly, but unhesitatlng-

the cabin where Tom lived alone.
As she neared the cabin she quick
ened her step. Had she waited too
long? Oh, II Tom would only speak
