When man starts in to tell falry
tale TO his grandchildren, he starts out
by saying Once Upon Time
Men have also said that truth is
stranger than fiction, but they never
start out to tell the truth by saying
"once upon time" However, let II
be understood that this story, ana 1t IS
truth and not fiction, so starts, for TO
the people who are living in modern
bungalows with antiquated plumbing
and freproof buildings, with the JAM
tor an a spree, the date OF the story IS
in that same "once upon time.
Once upon a time there lived a man
at Keauhou who was chief adviser to
a king. who spelt rain T-a-n-e, and
who caught fish for amusement When
he WASH t catching them for dinner.
With the juice of fruit and heaven
knows what for a pen he wrote diary
on a relic Of book, and in the course
of time the book landed in the records
of Hawaii, side by side with the sigma
tdre of Queen Victoria and other
things. Hence this story.
The man was John Young, and near
the mausoleum on Nuuanu avenue is
fiat, transformations slab. The diary is
one end of the story, the slab is the
other. In the book is the record OF
life as it was lived in the days of 1900
by what is now under the slab.
Young was the boatswain of Elanora,
whose peppery skipper, Simon Medcalf,
wrote about in the letter printed last
week. Long after his captain had gone
the way of the seas, the boatswain re-
manned to sit in the councils of King
Kamehareha and to live the life of
white man, adviser-in- chief to an I'M
civilized court.
In the book, the autobiography OF
one of the obscure men of the world
who was never known by his own
world and became famous in q later, has
in it memorandum, hymns and records,
the writing of which, on the tropical
shores of the Fire Island, passed the
time for a man Who Was Out of His
Race.
In one place he gives his whole life
for several months, and then finally
gave it up, probably because it was
the same day after day. The first of
the entries, which is followed conseeu-
lively by others, is Wednesday, the first
of August, 1909.
On that day he said, "Sent my Can
row to Reaney." Heaven only knows
what a lob he had to get that primi-
tive pen of his to write English, but
when it came to Hawaiian he fzzled
out in a hopeless attempt to fsay it
on paper Reaney must be Lanai, and
to Lanai, to collect the Kings taxes,

wiggles. Anyway, his attempt to get
his soul on paper was as futile as he
must have found his attempt to find
out what was the matter with it.
Cocoanuts and fish spell monotonv,
even if one is chief adviser to a. king.
Then follow the following items. sur
rounded by many entries Of "strong
gales ranes' and No Fish. Those
who ride may read, and if they can
trace reason in it, do so:

All this happened "once upon a
time before Link McCandIess went
into politics and there were police
graft Investigations, although that's
not saying there wasn't any police
graft But in the diary is something
that takes the laugh out of it. Here
it is, changed just enough to make it
ineligible:

Those who laugh can't appreciate
what John Young meant.
All this ism t history But the diary
is not entirely devoid of history, for
it says: E'This day Kauhumanu ar
rived from Waylua. she is huhu at

That s history. Josephine used to
get mad at Napoleon and give him cur

unwritten history.

A Plain Statement.

Last, weeks herald had a brief
item gathered by our regular local
reporter, in his rounds. stating that
Dr. g G. NARROW had been laid up
few days with a serious attack of
blood poisoning and in consequence
would not be at his Office for several
days. The fore part of the item was
a matter of common report and the
part referring to the doctor's absence
from business was made upon request
from his own Office. The next day
the following dirty Ii tie item ap-
peared IN The Teller:
"That great big lie our neighbor
down street tells about DR.. NARROW
having bad case of blood poisoning,
isn't so. DR. NARROW IS strictly
"uuder the weather" His indisposi-
ton is owing to the heated term. He
will be at business in few days"
The facts in the matter, obtained
from DR.. NARROW himself, are that
while bathing in the surf during his
recent visit to the Atlantic cost he
found one of his feet cut and bleeding
when he came from the water, ap-
psrently from stepping on she'll,
and this was later followed by pain
full swelling. Of mis- leg. He con-
sidered it to. be a result of blood
poisoning and so stated to number
of persons. But whether it really
was sucn or not. there was absolutely
no occasion for the Teller using such
language as it did in the first line of
Its item, as given above And
furthermore we want to give the
Teller a quiet tip right now to cut
out any such Language in any allusion
it may hereafter make concerning this
paper. j (; 49,

gratifying to the men at its head. A
regular policy was adopted when the
company began doing business here
that includes fifty per cent increase in
output every year, This increase was
not only attained this year but from
present indications will run to at least
sixty per cent.
1t is very evident that Michigan peo-
