.IAUKEA WILL
NOT BE AUTHOR

Retiring Sheriff Iaukea is still in
doubt as to what he will take up as a
means of willing away the time and
incidentally taking in the wherewith-
al to defray the grocers bills when
he gives up his chair in the police sta
ton to Bill Jarrett
Iaukea says he has seriously con-
sidered writing a book entitled my
Thirty Years in Politics but does not
think it would be profitable. He has
asked advice in regard to the matter
and has come to the conclusion that
though the story might create a great
sensation, it would hardly pay.

ALMY SAYS

United States Shipping Commission
er H. N. Amy, alias Granpa, alias the
Yankee Consul, alias Admiral Amy,
alias the Philosopher of the Water
front, alias the Peacemaker (for they
shall inherit the earth), was this
morning in his luxurious chambers on
the city front, exceeding wroth and
altogether angry.
Almy was originally sitting on his
shoulder-blades in a huge swing-back
chair, paid for by Uncle Sam, and his
feet on the inkstand, while the blue
eyed office angel-boy was sorting blot
tiers and copying verses from the Bible
on the new Remington, paid for by the
Government.
Amy was also perusing the morning
sheet. He had read all about Castles
mastery defense" of murderous foot
ball and was turning to the bilge page
to scan the waterfront gossip when
his Boston eye fell on a paragraph
which credited him with making re-
marks in verse. Almy upset the ink
over his flannel trousers, swore at
the office boy, who made a quick
sneak, crushed the Advertiser IN his
hip-pocket, spat and delivered himself
of the following, just as the Star ma
rine man insinuated himself within
the portal:
when Monsieur Jacque Densham,
of the Advertiser, attributes his viii

drown my character in ink. When l
want to drown my character I do it in
something more palatable. In other
words: These jingle-jack illusions
and poetical illusions to imaginary in
terviews with one of my import, are
a lot of senseless chatter, and I tell
you what's the matter, l really will
not stand for it, no matter if I ought.
1t is sad to have no mention that this
handsome fellow Densham, visited my
chambers at an hour of yesterday,
when my business emotion was afaT
upon the ocean, with a sailor / had
once advised concerning of his pay.
I / pride myself a little, that my char
acter's not brittle, but l hate to have
fellow credit me with writing verse
for everybody knows that the art of
using prose, is pretty near my limit
for there ne'er was language worse
Now I quite know what you are, a re-
porter from the Star and I trust that
you will quote me in the manner that
I speak, for If you try to rhyme what
I say at any time, I will knock your
blank old paper in the middle OF
next week"

THE FLAG UP.

The fact that the flag over the TIA
liam consulate was not at half mast
today, does not mean that there is any
rupture between the Italian and Chi
nese governments, or that any dis
respect to the memories of the late
Emperor or Empress Dowager of
China is intended. The flag has been
hoisted to the full in recognition OF
the fifty-seventh birthday of the Queen
Dowager Marguerite, of Italy, the
mother of the Italian monarch.

KING OF HAWAII
AUTOMOBOATISTS

Bill Savidge is the sole owner and
proprietor of the most novel and
smartest little automoboat in these wa
tiers.
Savidge always was a gasoline boat
enthusiast, but he has gone beyond all
expectations since he acquired the fine,
big whaleboat formerly the property
of Mitchell and has put gasoline into
her.
Now Savidge is to be seen skirting
the harbor marks with remarkable
skill and cutting the waters of the
harbor and blowing the pillows be-
tween here and Pearl Harbor in by
far the fastest and trimmest motor
boat in Hawaii.
1t is to Savidge's credit that his
perseverance and skill has resulted in
his being practically the king of mo-
torboat operators in these islands, and
his example is we'll worth following
There is little more pleasure than feel
ing the refreshment of the swift
breezes in such dandy craft as is
run by Bill Savidge.

TALKING
CAUSE OF DISEASE

London, April 3o.--That excessive
talking is responsible for many ner-
Vous diseases and an increasing
amount of insanity affecting modern
society was the interesting theory elab-
Grated before the Phycho-therapeutic
society last night by Rev. b. s. Lom-
bard, Il London vicar who has given the
subject much study.
An enormous amount of vital energy
is wasted i'm talking" he said. IAN ex-
cessive tallSer is a human vampire who
saps the vital energy III of those about
him. People silent by nature are sell
dom i'll. A large percentage of victims
OF nerNou disease are great takers,
who discuss imaginary ailments until
they get Them"
DR.. stenson Hooker supported the
vicar In the recommendations that one
room be set aside in London hospitals
for silent treatment.
Neither of the gallant speakers. how
ever. mentioned the talking pr%oclivities
of women in connection with his argy-
mentS.
