I'VE had a most amusing incident
on board, and l know you will APP
preciate it.
! "A gentleman known as Mr.. Wood
yard dressed himself as the Merry
Widow, and DR.. Wolfe was arrested
(this is all imaginary, you under
stand) for false pretenses. 1t appears
that the Merry Widow was aggrieved,
in that instead of treating and filling
her tooth, the wretched doctor had
pulled it. So DR.. Wolfe was arrested
for pulling out the Merry Widows
tooth.
"A jury of the Congressional ladies
was selected, the trial put on the bull
letin board and the night of the trial
saw the dining hall packed to the
doors.
"At last the judge appeared with
blackened eye and some patches on
his cheek He had met with resist
ance he said, and encounter with the
prisoner. When asked to show where
the tooth had been, the complainant
said she did not have it with her, but
would go to her stateroom and get it
if necessary. There was a great deal
= of REORGANIZATION and arguments
on both sides. There was even an at
/ torney general. The fracas became
I serious. The jury couldn't agree. Be-
ing women, naturally they couldn't.
Several ballots were taken.
When jury doesn't agree cried
the judge, "a penalty must be paid?
proclaim that in this instance the
penalty shall be paid
What is it, what is ito we all
cried.
That the jury shall be locked in
my stateroom with me-" he proclaim

THAT" said the narrator, brought
us to a conclusion Immediately and
in our excitement we brought YER

+ appointment to the men who had pre-
pared jolly sentence for the prison.

Mrs. Miller came in and greeted me
so cordially that 1 wondered if she
realized what lay in store for her.
"Of course you know" 1 faltered.
Eyes, know all about it, she re-
piled good naturally and took my arm
in friendly way. "And you are COM
ing right along with us to the Museum
because I have no time to give you
here, and on the car I'll tell you all
about everything you want to know"
Il know you're mighty sweet" |
exclaimed.
Now began Mrs. Miller, Il have
not had an opportunity of seeing much
of Honolulu, having been in the hos
pital since we arrived, but I'll give
you my first impressions: Yet, before
talk about Honolulu, am going to
tell you about our trip down. 1t was
very calm, and the weather was de-
lightful. There are forty-six or seven
in our party, consequently we had
very lively time. 1t seemed what one
did not think of another one did,
Before you ask me questions" re-
marked Mrs. Miller, after reaching
the Museum, "let me ask you a few"
and we strolled here and there view
ing the wonderful relics of a bygone
age.
when we arrived SAID Mrs. Mil
ler, "and were greeted by the band,
and stopped to receive upon our necks
the fragrant Ieis was so touched that
my eyes were blinded with tears,
could not see the color of the flowers,
and l could not see the boys who play
ed to welcome us. 1t seemed pathetic
in way and the sweet little ladys
face looked sad for moment.
"The people are all so kind and
good, and open up their hearts so to
strangers. They live so close to ma
ture that dare say they haven't been
spoiled When l came home from the
hospital on Thursday, my room was
a bower of flowers, one of the most
lovely bouquets coming from Princess
Kalanianaole. l knew her in Wash
ington. She has made a place for
herself there in the hearts of all who
know her.
What do l love most in Hawaii?
Your music. Your sweet pathetic en-
chanting Hawaiian mussc TO me
there is not other in the world Ike it.
l had the pleasure some years ago OF
hearing your band at the Portland EX-
position, and ever since then the me-
mory has haunted me, and 1 say with
out hesitation that your music attract
ed me more to Hawaii than anything
else.
What do l think of your homes?
l love them, love the large spacious
grounds, the foliage, the trees. Your
homes seem to cling to the old, and
yet there is sufficient of the modern
about them to make them very attrac-
