Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-05-25

during the trip of the Congressional
party up Haleakala, or, to be more
exact, a slide. He was rid
ing an abbreviated edition OF
mule and was on the downward
trail The mule answered to the
name of Maud. Now Maud ON steer
| incline stepped gingerly forward aft
er shifting her natural ballast to the
flank. The shifting broke the back
cinch and it was hard to tell who was
the most surprised, the mule or the
rider when with the saddle beneath
him Mr.. Ford slid over the mules
head and sat squarely down before
it. The mule concluded it was harm
less and silently stood while for a
moment the correspondent looked rue
ful. But happy thought struck him
and much to the amusement of the
spectators, he stood up, threw his
arms about the mule and said: Il
embrace thee, Maud"

Some very funny incidents happen
ed when the newcomers attempted
to use Hawaiian words so recently
acquired. Some of these incidents
are printable; the Others will only
be told One, though, that caused a
laugh was when Mr.. Lowery, a Wash
ington correspondent, while battling
with the pronunciation and meaning
of the word "pololei' sang out in all
seriousness to a serious-minded Con-
gresham speaking at luau one day
"Pupule! Pupule!"
Another language student was
Congressman Fitzgerald. He had
6 printed list of some Hawaiian
words and his affected air of tour
list in a foreign land was very laugh
able. At the first luau on Maui, up
in lao valley after he was seated, he
Logan to get hungry. In monocled
style, he consulted his printed list.
Finding what he wanted, he shouted
Wlkiwiki." Just then Mrs. Field,
Il bright part-Hawaiian, came along
with a load of eatables. In quick re-
tort she answered him as she passed
with the food, "Kulikuli oe.' The
expression puzzled the Congressman
and while his friends laughed, he
again consulted his list Then he
frightened up and began asking for
a glass of "Colo-colo," adding Make
it cold, please"

Congressman Hamilton, by the
way, thought he had found the right
way to use the Hawaiian language.
Senator Coelho was making speech
at the Kahului luau. Near Mr.. Ham
llton were some Hawaiians jestingly
inclined if the joke could be on the
Maui Senator. And just at point
when Senator Coelho was outlining
the negative thought of his speech,
the testers would tell Mr.. Hamilton
the native words for That's right, !"
That's good which he would then
shout. 1t is still wondered if Mr.
Hamilton knows yet why the natives
thought it so funny.
But it wasn't Mr.. Hamilton's back
handed words of approval that caus-
ed Congressman Littlefield to arise
and make request for better atten
ton during Coelho's speech. 1t was
other Interruptions.

Congressman Cole and Attorney
Jas. Coke are of the good-fellowship
kind 1t wasn't an hour after the
Congressman had landed on Maui be-
fore Cole and Coke were staunch
friends. But there is an affinity be-
tween coal and coke, so they were eX-
planning while making farewell
speeches to the local and visiting
crowds at Kahului last Saturday, and
at the same time throwing worded
bouquets to each other. To appre-
ciate this you must know that Mr..
Cole is fiery speaker while Mr., Coke
is. steadier and quieter, but both
good takers in their respective ways.
The difference was better explained
by Cashier Lufkin of the Wailuku
hank, who shouted to the editication
Of the listeners when the question
arose, saying: "Oh, Coke is Cole with
The gas taken out"

Speaking of Mr.. Cole, he is. lead
ng favorite with both the gentlemen
and ladies, it matters not whether
hey are in the party with him or are
new-found acquaintances. But as to
he fair sex, why, there are members
IN the party who say he would have
never left Maui if they hadn't got a
Maui woman to tell him that the
'prettiest girls lived on Ha avail"
Md he youched for this in kona
