that mas the redeemlng feature OF
humor about it. Two French lady
tourists were stopping over night at
one of the local hotels. 1t was during
the monarchy, when dances and state
balls were frequent occurrences at the
Palace. The visitors donned their
latest Partisan gowns and after dress
ing for the fray called hack. Take
us to re Palee' commanded the pair.
Alright NUNS said jehu and off he
drove. But not toward the Palace. He
drove in an entirely different direction.
On and on, they drove. The ladies
heard not the sound of revelry by
night; they heard only the dismal
bowls Of dogs as they drove along the
deserted streets of the town Wee,
wee, we link you are a robbah. Re
police we wilt call' and then ensued
wild chorus of bowls for the police.
Murder, robbers, thieves assassins"
were heard on the evening air But
no officer of the peace appeared. Yet
on and on went the hack At last
the pair found themselves on the edge
of a towering cliff, looking into space.
Here is the Pail" said the jehu "but
I don't see what you want to raise
such a fuss over it for"
And would you believe it, the women
kicked against paying him 500 because
he had not understood their pronuncia-
ton of the Palace and took them to
the Pail instead.

| have not seen Johnny Martin yet,
but I feel authorized almost, to invite
you to luau that he will give shortly,
to commemorate the destruction of
those five barrels of fine Kentucky
whiskey that were bound for Homo
lulu. Really that John is such an in
tense fanatic. If he had the choice of
being drowned in tun of beer or
hogshead of dish water, I think he
would choose soap suds. Poor old John.

Paul Muhlendorf Of Allen & Robinson
rs reported to be hard game, where a
business transaction is concerned. This
firm is a money lending one, and, in
the usual course of business, more or
less land, through foreclosure, is taken
over. Land fits in we'll with the lum-
Der business sometimes, as | will at
tempt to show Albert Hooking. of
Primo fame, purchased piece of prop
erty on Makih Heights and decided to
build handsome home After refiec-
ton, he decided the lot was not quite
large enough, and, in looking around
discovered that Allen & Robinson had
small piece of land adjoining. Hook
ing saw Muhlendorf and a price was
agreed upon, but the sale did not take
place until Hooking agreed to buy all
lumber and material from Allen Il
Robinson. Hooking had to submit.
But here is a case where Paul got
left. Some time ago, the Planters
Experiment Station wished to secure
additional land for planting purposes.
The men in charge looked over the
Allen tract in Makiki and decided to
purchase a big piece of the land at a
pretty stiff figure. When the final ne
gotiations were reached, Muhlendorf
sprung his little joker about buying all
lumber and material from Allen &
Robinson" The Planters baked, told
Muhlendorf to go to a warmer latitude,
and then purchased land elsewhere.

The British cruiser Monmouth, with
Prince Fushimi on board, was expect

nC wise. But l will explain: have
a friend in the United States Navy;
he tells me that British warships new

Fourth of July-that is If they can
possibly get out to sea. He declares
that an English commander does not
want to salute the American Flag on
its natal day Where is that boosted
"Anglo-Saxon brotherhood" we read
about. Sounds good on paper, doesn't
it? Barring the salute, our English
sailor friends could have attended the
literary portion of the exercises, which
were held on the Fourth, without bat
ting an eye. The usual roast handed

During the week, the Land Office
sold some lots on one of the Tantalus
ridges the opportunity to secure a
mountain place was eagerly welcomed
by local people. The lots were cut in
to small holdings and sold at reason

air, but at the rate private parties
hold land on Tantalus, the air is a bit
expensive for those not rich men. Up
