ing among the Pacific Islands, accord
ing to The Washington Star.
{" Tired, because / know for sure

the dope that's written about them,

world. They we got runners-Kanaka
men-lown in the Hawaiian Islands,
for example, that In be willing TO
gamble cruise pay off could make all
of these pufy-wuffy Marathon runners
LOOK ike aluminium milk tickets.
1.-THE first time l ever hit the Ha-
waiian Islands, I was an apprentice IN
the navy, and it was at that time that
/ saw one of those Kanaka runners beat
a lot of good horses on a thirty-mlle
uphill run.
Happened in 1888. when Dave Ka-
lakaua. as the oldtimers around Homo
lulu call him yet, was king of the Is
lands. At that time there We're no tele-
phones joining the islands as there are
now. and government messages and
mandates were carried from island to
island by the inter-island steamships
and rushed into the interior of the is
land by the Kanaka runners.
f'AlI of these Kanaka runners would
keep up dead lope all day and all
night without ever resting a minute.
They were the Kings messengers. and
they simply did not know what getting
winded or tired meant.
King Dave Kalakaua thought a
heap of these runners of his, too. He
always stuck to it that thew could go
faster and further than horses over the
rough Hawaiian roads.
ftIn this he was disputed by num-
Der of the white attaches of his court.
Kalakaua wagered $1,000 with his white
eourtiers that he could pick out run
ner from among his Kanakas who would
get from Hilo, on the main island of
Hawaii, to the crater of Kilauea-it is
called the burning lake of Kilauea-
a distance of nearly thirty miles, quick
ef than horse and rider could make the
trip. The eourtiers snapped the King
up on this proposition at even money.
1t looked to all of the white men
down there as if they had a lot the
hotter of it in that bet. The King and
big party of Honolulu folk went in
one Of rng inter-island boats to Hilo
to see the race,
s.The King picked out a huge. sinewy
Kanaka, man about thirty, who had
been employed as a state runner at
Lahaina, on the island of Maui, for
number Of years, to essay the task of
beating the horses. Eight Kanakas
made the start on horseback on native
ponies, bred from American caynses-

thoroughly used to climbing on the bad
lava roads. e~
The King and his party had gone

of KiIauea, in coaches on the day be-

fore to see the finish of the race and
TO be on hand to greet the winner
[ was among a party OF man-o war s
men from one of our old wooden packets
in the harbor of Hilo to make the ride
I'D to KiIauea soon after the King S
ascent TO see the finish.
'"The road from HiIo up to the crater
Of KiIauea has been greatly improved
since that time, but it sure was one
bad trail then. 1t was only wide
enough for one wagon, and 1T was
climb Of about thirty degrees all the
way. The trees that lined the road
used TO get blown across the trad IN
big windstorms, and the coach drivers
counted It as part Of their job to jump
from their seats every time they came
TO these distinctions and shoulder them
out of the way. This work had all
been carefully attended to in advance
of the race by order of King Dave, and
it looked like pipe for the ponies,
for all of these ponies had made the
run up to the Kilauea crater many
time
1.-THE King didn t ask for any handi-
cap allowance for his runner. The Ka-
naka runner toed the scratch with the
horses, and they got off together at the
crack Of the gun.
1.-THE horses distaneed the runner
from the jump and he allowed them to
distance him. He just took up his
steady lope and let the cayuse get away
out of sight up the steep trail For
ten miles the horses were so far above
him on the trail that he couIdn t see
side nor hair of them, but this Kanaka
knew how to wait.
HtLong before the hotel called the
Half Way House was reached the horses
began to come back to him, and the Ka
naka was just breezing along then with
the same long stride he had started
with. He wasn't even taking short
breaths for himself. He stopped down
once at a spring beside the road and
took couple of mouthfuls of water. The
cayuses were up ahead a bit, blowing
their heads off, for they'd been going
at clip that they d never been pushed
to before.
Five miles from the finish the Ka-
naka forged ahead of the horses and it
was only romp for him the remainder
of the distance. He took position
for the rest of the journey about Ealf
mile ahead Of the painting and exhaust
ed horses, and he stuck to his long, easy
uphill lope like man wound up for
week or so Of that sort of thing.
sHe never let them get any nearer
TO him TO the finish. When only a mile
remained the Kanaka riders of the
horses spurred and whipped the beasts
with all their might, but it was no
use, The Kanaka rnnner promptly let
out Ink himself and disappeared be-
yond their sight along the torfuous trail,
and when six of the ponies pulled up
at the yernada of the Volcano House
the runner was sitting on the steps as
cool as cucumber and enjoying a mess
OF poi, that starchy taro root stuff that
kanakas eat. Two of the ponies had
cropped dead in their final effort to
overtake the two-footed9 runner.
- like to see some of the Kanaka
runners get into the contest the next
time there S a Marathon. I'd win a
bet for myself. +"

HUNTING BODY
Of YOUNG LOGAN
Adolph Schnack Describes the
Search, in a Letter to
His Father.

The following letter received in the
Lurline mail by j. H. Schnack from
his son, Adolph, who is spending his
vacation with a party of fellow Stan
ford students in the Yosemite Valley,
gives a true and vivid account of the
search for and the finding of the body
of Horace Logan.
CAMP CURRY, Yosemite, August Is.
Dear Father: I will try and tell you
how FIVE of u.s. boys earned a $1,000
reward. A seventeen year-old boy NAM
ed Horace r. Logan, got lost in the
mountains ten days ago. He failed to
write home for several days after ieav-
ing Glacier Point (Which is directly
above this camp) Some soldiers were
sent ont after he had been missing. one
day but they could not find any trace
of him. After this a party of Camp
Curry help saw hat up in the water
in a small stream which comes over the
PERCEPTIONS bluff from one ledge to an
other for about two thousand feet di-
reetly back of camp. The soldiers got
the hat and found the initials H. R. L.
in it.
The uncle of the boy then came to
camp to see what he could do. We FIVE
boys had been out searching every
where. [ was let down over several
perpendicular places, each of which
. We're easily three hundred feet high. We
searched high and low for six days
The soldiers were not allowed to go out
any more because the Major said It was
too dangerous. Yesterday, the seventh
day, We finally came to the conclusion
to try and reach the lowest large ledge.
| had previously looked down upon this
ledge but there was small space L
could not see. Well, we got a long
rope to the ledge above and I and
another fellow went down. The first
knowledge we had of the nearness of
the corpse was the smell. We went
over to rock and there in plain view
Law the body about fifteen feet below.
We got it wrapped up in hammock
and some sheets, hoisted it up over the
ledge and finally got it down to camp
where it has not yet been removed
The body was black and in a fearful
condition. I did some of the hardest
work ever did in my life in thosl
seven days and I do not want any more
ledge-elimbing for a while The re
ward was raised to a $1,000 the day
we found the body.
With best wishes.
ADOLPH.

Individual effort, with cleanliness

Insane Asylum.
An insane asylum for such only as are
dangerous to the community does not
appear quite complete under advanced
theories of treatment of insane. 1t is
to be hoped the time may come when
the afflicted, including those not dan
gerous to the community, may seek, or
at least become entitled to asylum. By
ASYLUM is not meant prison but refuge,
where those unable to control them

be subjected to humane restraint, care
and treatment. This privilege, through
private means, is exercised principally
bv the rich. In time, through state ac-
ton. should it not extend here, as else
where, to the poor? In that time no
spectacle may be witnessed of an inof-
fensive creature wandering through the
streets unkempt and apparently uncared
for: a sight unattractiye and possibly
harmful TO those not responsible for

for the general and individual good
