KOREAN INSURRECTION ENDED
BERNARD BECAME
THE GRINDING STAR

1t is well that the Republican eandi-
dates for Office are not afraid to come
home in the dark, else they might not
have appeared in town from Wanna
nalo until this morning. However,
having made the trip to Waimanalo
yesterday by tallyho, they came back
across the Pail, although it was as
dark as pitch. Driver Ward, who
handled the ribbons of the six-hOrse
team, swung the sextet around the
dangerous bends in the road around
the Pail face IL manner TO win him
the thanks of all in the tallyho. IL
was so dark that the leaders could
hardly be distinguished.
At this iuncture Bernard Kelekolio
became the Moses and led the politi-
clans out of the Waimanalo wilderness.
Bernard wore a white shirt beneath
his coat, and when it became so dark
that the driver could not see the road,
little Bernard was shorn of his coat
and sent in advance of the team. His
white shirt was occasionally distin-
guishable in the gloom, and by follow
ing him the politicians finally arrived
at the top Of the Pail. The only ae-
eident during this perilous night ride
occurred when two newspaper men
began to sing-the tallyho suddenly
struck the bank and lifted somewhat.
but as soon as the singing stopped, the
tallvho came to an even keel and all
went well again.

Burton Holmes has written r. K.
Bonine regarding the leper incident in
his Ladies Home Journal article about
Hawaii. In this letter he makes all
the amends that it is possible for a
man to do in such a case. He ex-
presses the hope that the damage done
has been overestimated, and very likely
it has been. The letter is as follows:
My Dear Bonine: I am just in re-
ceipt of the Honolulu comments on the
mention of 1eprosy in my article. 1t is

There was grand Republican rally
down in Kewalo on Saturday night,
away out at the end of Queen street,
which was largely attended and well
conducted, To this big audience, one
of the largest that has assembled in
that district during the present cam
paign, Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole, as
candidate for Delegate to Congress,
and John c. Lane, candidate for Mayor,
made addresses full of fire, and their
reviews of the long train of benefits
which have accrued to the Territory

Republican administration of public
affairs, were received with deep atten-
tion
Both Prince Kuhio and John Lane
gave indication that their campaign
during the coming week on this island
would be strong and if they continue
to speak as they did Saturday night,
they can not fail to arouse enthusiasm
for the Republican ticket. The Prince
spoke feelingly, especially in refuting
many campaign errors credited to him,
especially those associated with his
public life in Congress-, and he re-
ferred IN scathing terms to the prom

The agitation among the Japanese
plantation laborers for increased
wages is steadily growing more insist
ent, despite the efforts of some of the
wiser heads to show their countrymen
that this is not an opportune time to
press such demand. Last week the
Honolulu japanese Retail Merchants ,
Association passed an extraordinary
resolution on the subject and the mat
ter has developed sufficiently to have
two of the leading Japanese newspa-

Sunday editions to lay the pros and

TWO REPUBLICAN
RALLIES TONIGHT

Two meetings have been arranged for
by the Republicans for tonight. One
will be held corner of Fort and School
streets at which a great many of the
principal candidates viii speak. Cam
didates for Representatives for the
Fourth District will take part in the
meeting and music will be furnished
by a Hawaiian quintet club. The other
will be held at Moanalua and will be
conducted by the regular candidates at
large and the candidates for Represen'
tatives for the Fifth District.
Progress in the campaign has been
very satisfactory. Attendance at the
various meetings has been large and
the audiences enthusiastic. The various
opinions among those voters who had
not fully determined their course in the
forthcoming election are beginning to
crystailize into form that is decided

mountainous regions, as they are as agile and as surefooted as a mountain goat, and for this reason they can traverse trails that to the uninitiated appear to be i'm passable.
 As timid as the reindeer is, however, he possesses a will of his own and, like all children of nature, he is as stubborn as tow mule. Let a reindeer become tired or take a notion that 1t needs rest, no amount of coaxing or beating can make it budge from its tracks. Although the jour ney may be one of only few miles, reindeer Is just as liable to stop half way, swerve from the beaten trail. pick out a soft spot and lie down, there to remain until 1t is good and ready to arise and continue the Journey. In this respect the reindeer is like unto his new-found mas ter, the Eskimo. Each Is gentle, but each is stubborn.
 In one sense the reindeer appeals strong ly to the Eskimo. The meat of no animal, fish or fowl is sweeter or more delicious than that of the reindeer. Reindeer steak Is ever hailed with delight in a mining camp, where 1t Is regarded as the one delicacy of the season. This meat usually brings from 75 cents to $1 a pound and the demand invariably exceeds the supply. A reindeer on the hoof brings $50; yet when butchered, the purchaser can quad ruple his money, for not particle of the

desire to branch out in other work, and they are apparently perfectly satisfied If the fruits of this years labor compare Ia vorably with that of the last.
 When a family of animal workers set ties down to its winters work it pur- chases from these turner's so many COW rings, so many horse rings, so many or camels, lions bears, tigers, etc., until they have the desired variety. The num- Der of rings purchased rarely varies. Eac'i head of the family knows to a horse just how many animals his family can turn out, and then begins the work of saving the blocks up As the little crude blocks are apportioned out through the family the winters campaign begins, and from then until winter breaks up and 1t IS time to resume the tilling of the little garden patch there is never pause in the work of filling the arks that await their occupants
 Almost the same routine Is Followed out in the manufacture of tov furniture. The home workers either pnttern, the wnoie piece of furniture themselves, or eise buy them from the wood turner's, ana ID an amazing short space of time they nave their humble little homes filled with all the little accessories of n drst-class doii- house, dear to the heart of every httie girl in the world to matter what her na- tionality might be.
 Perhaps, the most interesting class or toymakers are those who manufacture that style of animal of the furry or neecy tribe. For instance, there are hundreus of families on New York's East Side wno

rable companions Lapland, or Eskimo. dogs. which care for the deer as collies care for sheep.
 No animal in the world can navigate as well in the teeth of gale or blizzard as reindeer. When overtaken by a bliz- gard on the hills the deer invariably fol- lows the wind. The further they go North the better the moss, which they dig out of the snow with their feet and nose. So long do their antlers grow that they often prevent them from borrowing deep enough in the snow to reach the moss and it is then that the apprentice has to come to their rescue and shovel away the snow and thus enable his herd to feed. If this. task is too great he re- sorts to still mdre drastic measures and saws off those prongs of the antlers that interfere with the deer's feeding.
 While the reindeer is proyerbially shy and timid, they nevertheless are bellcose among themselves They attack with feet and gore with their antlers. These ant slers, however, they shed in March and April although new ones immediately sprout forth. Whereas, every American boy and girls conception of a reindeer is one in which the deer is harnessed to a sled or sleigh, nevertheless the breaking of a reindeer to harness is fraught with more perils and difficulties than any bron- co buster was ever called upon to go

deer goes to waste. October and Novem- Der are the butchering months, when the fattest of the herd are rounded up and slaughtered. The meat is prepared for market, the skins are stretched and dried and the antlers hung up and cured, all of which is sold at a big profit to the rein deer butcher. It is no uncommon sight to see 50 or more reindeer sleds, each hauled by from 4 to 10 deer. laden high with dead deer, on their way to the sta tions, where the meat is to be cut up and skins and antlers cured
 Uncle Sam has expended vast amount of money in endeavoring to popularize the reindeer in Alaska. and in one sense he has succeeded. As a beast of burden in these regions the deer has no equal. It's skin furnishes the warmest garments and bed clothing for the Eskimo and it's meat is unexcelled as food Yet, despite these several virtues, the deer is far from popu- lar with the Eskimo, who would rather share his bit of jerked meat and crust of black bread with his beloved dog than to own the finest herd of reindeer in Alaska
 that is, if he should have to care for that herd and give up his dog.

 Uncle Sam, however, feels amply repaid for all the time. thought and money he has expended on his new venture. Each year, when old Santa Claus pays him his annual visit and makes requisition for new Dasher, new Dancer, Prancer or Vixen, Uncle Sam smiles his blandest and throws wide the gates of his stockades, thereby giving old Kris free rein to go and restock his stable to his hearts con tent Uncle Sam knows Santa Claus work is cut out for him and he also knows that not house within his vast domains must be passed by without stop from Santa Claus, even though it takes every reindeer in Alaska or Lapland to make the journey.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-15

through. Timid in the extreme, the deer cover and cringe when approached by their herders. The breaking process be- gins when they are very young and when they are first haltered This familiarity the deer bitterly resents. The halter lead is securely fastened to a firmly plant ed post and the deer Is left to fight it out alone He tugs and pulls and bucks and swings until he becomes exhausted and then 1t is taught to lead. When sufficiently cowed and tanned the deer is harnessed to heavily laden sled and al- lowed to run and leap and buck to It's hearts content. It generally takes any where from one to three weeks to break a deer to harness, and in many instances 1t is a year or more before 1t becomes thoroughly trustworthy and gentle in harness.
 The reindeer is as fleet as the wind and far stronger than dogs, and for this req son they are almost universally utilized in transporting Uncle Sans mails in the Frozen North, although experience has show that they have not the endurance of a horse. The driver of these deer sleds invariably hitches up his team in single file; stout rope leading from the off antler of the leader back to the sled is used by the driver to guide and con trol the team. Their usefulness as beasts of burden is best demonstrated in the

such, life, and spirit is not lacking in our Eskimo cousins If at the end of the first year the apprentices work satisfies his Lapland instructor he receives two female deer. The increase, If success at tends, should be in six years 50 deer but not infrequently upon one pretext or another the Laplander turns him adrift before his apprenticeship ends and claims as his own the deer for which the appren- tire has toiled. The Eskimo may sell the male of his herd for support, but the females belong to the government. Dur ing his apprenticeship the mission sup ports the boy, but as the reindeer sup plies food, clothing, bedding and shelter his keep can hardly be regarded as an ex- trayagant outlay of cash.
 Although the reindeer industry in Alas ka has been established about 15 years, and while from Bristol Bay to Point Barrow there are 10000 Eskimos, yet 1t is extremely doubtful if one in every 90 owns a reindeer. One man living near Golfvoln Bay has herd of POO deer. for which he toiled 13 years, while another herder boasts of so deer, the reward of 14 years labor.
 The wealthiest Eskimo in Alaska is Slnrock Mary, known to all Eskimos as Queen Mary. Mary owns 300 reindeer. which she inherited at her husbands death. Mary lives near Unalalek and keeps her reindeer at the government sta tion, which is within a short distance of the Swedish mission. She has a number of Eskimo boys to care for her herd, and these she pays from her own pocket. When obliged to sell a deer to buy the boys food the mission Is invariably the , purchaser at the missions price of $20 a deer. These herders have as their insepa-
