FACING a Waterspout.

What it means to encounter a water
spout in the south seas is described by
Beatrice Grimshaw: First of all, Il
black trunk, like an elephants, began
to feel blindly about in midair, hang
ing from a cloud. 1t came nearer and
nearer with uncanny speed, drawing
up to itself as it came colossal cone
of turbulent sea until the two Joined
together in an enormous black pillar
some quarter of a mile broad at the
base and probably a good thousand
feet high, uniting as it did the clouds
and the sea below. Across the darken-
ing sea, against the threatening copper
crimson sunset, came this gigantic hor-
ror, Waiting over troughs of torn up
water in a veritable dance of death,
like something blind, but mad and
cruel, trying to find and shatter our
fragile little ship"

a Gladstone Bull.

Mr.. Gladstone dearly loved a joke,
even at his own expense, and he pos
sessed considerable mimetic powers.
He was once guilty of an amusing
bull in debate on the question of dis
establishment. Dilating on the hold
held on the affections Of the people by
the Church of England, he said:
"When an Englishman wants to get
married, to whom does he go? To the
parish priest. When he wants lis
child baptized, to whom does he go?
To the parish priest. When he wants
to get buried, to whom does he go?'
The house answered with roar of
laughter, in which Mr.. Gladstone him
self Joined. adding, "As | was CON
trasting the English church with the
irish, bull is perhaps eXcusable."

BOOSTS
PROMOTER WOODS
SAYS Jess. Cleaned Up
$4,000 On Six &.
Games

Since the writer returned to San
Francisco the question has been fire.
Guently asked WAS the trip a iinan-
cial SUGGEST" 1t was for Jess Woods
the Honolulu sportsman VINO promot-
ed It. The Coast League players had
they sailed away. They were mere
-ly guaranteed expenses, and some
good times, and Woods kept his word
to the letter. The Hilo fans defray-
ed the expenses OF the players from
Honolulu to the volcano and return,
which amounted to something like
5000, and cleaned up 5000 on their
games over and above the expenses.
When you consider that there are
only 500 white people in Hilo this
was a mighty good showing. 1t
showed how hungry the Americans
living there were for baseball.
Woods contract with Fisher termi-
mated when his club sailed away to
,lilo, and yet he paid all the hotel
bills of the players when they re-
turned to Honolulu and remained
three days. Two games were played
just before sailing for home, but
they were benefit games for the
players, and Woods took no portion
Of the receipts. The Coast League
payers pulled down about $50 each
from the two games.
Now, about Jess Woods bit. He
assured the writer that the six big
games netted him about $500. This
was handsome profit, but he took
n chance and was entitled to the
cmoluments. The tourists arrived In
Honolulu at the beginning of the
rainy season, and II Woods had had
n bunch of postponed games and had
the players on his hands for long
time he would have como out on the
wrong side of his ledger. Jess gam
bled on good weather, and won all
his bets, for there wasn't game
postponed. It rained while we were
there, but luckily between games.
The writer was elated TO see Woods
make a nice profit for It was coming
to him.. Baseball fans OF Honolulu
are deeply indebted to him. He gave
baseball boost such as It never had
before in that country, and when
the writer left the Honolulu League
was discussing the feasibility of i'm
porting a club of stars annually from
the Coast League. Right now play
err of experience could get a nice
berth as coach at Honolulu. They
have some good material, but 1t
needs developing, and the Honolulu
people appreciate this. The league
would find the right sort of a player
position and give him something on
the side to coach the youngsters
