PEOPLE OF QUEER
 SUPERsT|T|ONs

Hawaiian tradition is rich in weird and fascinating legends, some of which have been preserved by mod ern writers. but many are likely to be lost through indifference or lack of time on the part of those in posi- ton to perpetuate them. Some are doubtless thus gone forever, and the remaining chronicled are known only to the older native Hawaiians, who are soon to be no more. With the adoption of Christianity nearly a cen tury ago, the old tales and supersti- tions which their pagan beliefs had fostered. were cast aside and were unlearned by the younger genera tions.
 The Hawaiians had many gods and were ruled by a priesthood. which governed most despotically by foster ing the superstitions, and imagina- tiyes powers of their subjects. Hu- man sacrifices were common to ap- pease the wrath of the most powerful deities, and the nobles and the priests had power to place under ban, on pain of death. almost anything that -suited them, by means of the dreaded tabu. A bathing place, certsiz, pathway or a fruit. might thus be pro hibited tc all but select few, either temporarily or permanently Viola. tion of these tabus meant certain death, and the priests were constant ly on the alert to catch the unwary or venturesome. as these victims in large measures furnished the sub. jects for the sacrifices. Thus it was 4saI., -t,t,, l,s |, personages to cross the shadow of royalty, or to remain erect in the sovereign's presence Women gre limited in their diet largely to taro, certain fish. and seaweeds. It was tabu for the common people to eat the squid, or devil fish, choice dainty among the Hawaiians to this day, or to fish in certain waters or at cer- tain seasons of the year. By means of such a prohibition as this last the Hawaiians protected their chief food fish, and at the time of the white mans coming had developed this fish in artificial ponds to remarkable degree of perfection. Many of these old ponds are still used substantially as they were hundreds of years ago. for producing fish for the markets.
 With such ground for work ot superstition to build on. it is easy to understand how a great fabric of le- gend should be woven in which men and gods and demi-gods are ultimate ly mixed. Most of the deities were supposed to be able to take human or animal form at will, while some were beneficiens, others were con stantly bent on working all the in- jury to mankind prasibie. or this latter class was KsTaruaa. the hog god. who seems to havc spent most of his time on the island of Oahu. and great mars of iengends center about him. Much of the time he was the leader of band of outlaws which was constant source of annoyance to the people. destroying their crops and despcili1g their homes. Kama puaa. while not invincible was very powerful His natural and usual form was that of great hog and he wrought great devastation in the

country about Honolulu by roofing mp the taro patches and cocoanut groves. In the outskirts of the city are two splendid springs. and the fol lowing story is told regarding their origin:
 Two beautiful women were one day met by Kamapuaa. who they at once recognized and started to run. The monster gave pursuit, but when he had almost overtaken one of them, through miraculous power which she possessed. being herself god dess. disappeared into the ground.
 Kamapuaa changed himself into the form of a great pig and began to root up the stones and soil, and rapidly excavated a great hole in the ground. in his pursuit. Suddenly, however. a great flood of water burst into the cavity he had made, and al most drowned him before he was able to get to the surface and scramble out.

 INFANCY Old Time Commercial Traveller in Bishee Yesterday Re-
 calls Early Days Has Travelled Thirty Years Continuously For One
 House

Bisbee is yet to be knocked by any body of good repute. That the city is one of the most thriving municipal ities nf it's size in the country is the assertion of Dad" Murphy. who has the distinction of being on the road in the capacity of commercial traveller longer than any other man in the west. For thirty-one years, Murphy. who represents the Shea. Borqueraz Wholesale Wine company of San Francisco, has made annual trips into every city of importance in the west ern part of the United States. His entire thirty-one years on the road has been spent with the San Francisco concern and enc cf his first trips was into this territory. He saw Bisbee in the beginning. when it was a hamlet containing but a handful of people and is one of the staunchest admir- CTS of the city's spirit of grit and boost
 When Murphy first came 10 Bisbee there were no brick structures and only few shacks marked the district that is now studded with handsome homes and fine buildings. Brick not alone has been used in the construc- rion of these buildings, stone and con crete having played prominent part N The progressiveness of Bisbee has always appealed tc Murphy As a commercial trayeier he has had wide experience in judging She stability Of cities. He declares that this city, from a business standpoint, is one of the liyest on his route. That 1t has great future ahead of if is the opin- ion youched by him when seen at the Copper Queen Hotel yesterday.

CHINESE FLOCK TO PANAMA.
Despite Rigid Exclusion Laws Ihcf
 Number Rar;diy Increases.

New orleans Times-Democrat.
 Although the United states has . rigid Chinese exclusion law, 1t is net the only country that bars Mongoi fans. Panama also has stringent laws in regard to admitting within its con fines the slant-eyed Orientals. Nos- withstanding these laws, however. U appears that there has been a laTg9 and fourishing business in tho "7~' smuggling Chinese into this
 In fact. at one time there ,~Hr
 a scandal raised by. one of the ra ,-f'' :, papers in regard to this matter ! fine of s700 is placed upon any shin which permits a Ch:naman to land at a Panamanian port without proper authority. Only a few weeks ago Hamburg vessal came to Colon. and among its passengers was one Chnaman. He was immediately held by the port officials. who ordered him confined under lock and key in his cabin until the ship departed Tn some mysterious manner he escaped whether through port hole or con nivance of a steward be ng unknown Having once gotten ashore among the several hundred Chinese. 1t was q useless task tO attempt tO uhu nsn'' and the steamship company paid the fine.
 The number of Chinese on the isth- mus today is undoubtedly three times greater than it was four years ago despite the rigid exclusion laws. All along the line of the canal they have located their shops. where they dis pense provisions. clothing and chear linuor. In Colon there is not block which does Tot contain at least one Chinese store. some of them housing seven or eight. Aside rom three or
 four large wholesale houses and few bric-a-brac and curiosity shops they are all enfaeed in the same bust ness, retailing provisions. cheap cloth Ing and liquor. To such an exten' has their number increased that the governor recently issled an orcei compelling all Chinese to present
 themselves for registration along with their photographs. By this means 1t is hoped that a check can be kepi on Mongolian immigration in the flu ture.

 Kamapuaa, when he got out of the hole, immediately began his chase after the other woman, who repeated the ruse of her sister, with identical results. The two goddesses es- caped and the hog god retired discom- fitted. But the site of each of these incidents is marked to this day by a great spring of living water. which has supplied the people of the district for many generations.
 Many other places on Oahu are similarly associated with stories of the hog god. Some of these legends have been published in an interest ing volume by local writer.

THIS LITTLE BOY
TRICKS THE

MIL LWAUkEE LAD TELLS POLICE
MAN HIS HOME is IN CHICAGO.
Says He Has Been Carried Away on
Steamer-Ohieer Sends Him
to Windy City.

Chicago, May 29-All little boys
who want to run away from home in
good style, and without cost, saould
enlist the aid of the police-that is, if
the police happen to be like the ones
they have in Milwaukee. That is the
advice of Henry Kenffsky, an eight
year-old boy OF Milwaukee.
He wanted to come to Chicago so
instead of sneaking away. went bold
ly to a Milwaukee policeman and told
him that his home was in Chicago and
that he had been carried away to the
northern city. He had been playing
aboard a steamer at Chicago dock,
and was far out In the lake before he
knew the ship was under way.
That sounded like a good story to
the Milwaukee policeman, so he plac-
ed little Henry aboard a Chicago &
Northwestern train and told the con-
ductor to care for MIN aud turn him
over to the Chicago police, Henry
found the Chicago police not at all
like those in Milwaukee. They did
not believe that he lived in Chicago
and he was held at the Central station
until 1t was learned that he ran away
from his home in Milwaukee.
