CULLEN TAKEN
FOR CRAZY MAN
Big Hawaiian Disappointed by
His Mistake, but Gets
Two Dollars.

There was pretty nearly bad piece
of business for Cullen yesterday morn
ing. He came SO near being put in
the pupule house that he is thanking
his stars that he did not get there.
This is how it all happened. Cullen
had no partner to go out on the road
with him yesterday so he started off
by himself. He wore an old pair of
tweed trousers, a sweater and cea5
over it. He logged down King street
and, after covering some distance, be-
gan to look for open country. He
turned up pupule lane and began to
think that he had found way up
into the real open country. He logged
along until he came near to the Bug
house
He did not know it was the crazy
place by any means. He thought it
was a country residence and, about
this time, the fresh morning air in
vited him to sprint and SO he be-
gan to run like wildfre.
He ran for some time and then slack
ed speed. Then he heard the putting
of breath behind him and, before he
knew what had happened, he was grasp
ed by the back of the collar and turn
ed round to see huge Hawaiian who
had him by the back of the neck in
great shape.
"What's the matter with you?''
queried Dick. 4" No pilikia with me, -
was the response. "You make some
runaway from pupule house, take
you back Now Dick had no more
idea what "pupule'' meant than the
latest arrived malihini. The Hawaiian
was so much bigger and stronger than
the little lightweight, that the latter
had to let it go and walk back with
the husky collar catcher.
Finally they arrived at the pupule
house and the Hawaiian, with broad
smile on his face, dragged Dick up
the steps and into the Office Here
they were met by a bland gentleman
who wanted to know what the trouble
was
And Then the Laugh.
"T find one pupule man, he run away
from home,'' said the Hawaiian.
Bring him back for you.' Then
Dick began to make explanations. He
said that he was the lightweight cham
pion of the Islands and was out for
his morning jog. The bland gentle
man happened to be a sportsman and
so knew all about Cullen, also he recog-
nized him from the picture published
in The Advertiser
Then two people began to laugh,
while the big Hawaiian looked rather
foolish. But Dick was too good nat
ured to bear any resentment. He said
FCome on there old gink and finish
the run with me and III slip you
couple of Simoleons for your trouble -
So the big Hawaiian and the little
lightweight started off on their run
and finished at the training quarters.
The Hawaiian got his two bucks all
right and then came post haste to The
Advertiser office to have his name kept
out. He said. ''You put my name in
paper then all Kahhi laugh about it,"
And that is the reason why his name
is not told.
Sam Hop on the Job.
After the excitement Of the morn
ing Cullen took a short snooze and
then went out for the afternoon 5 work.
His first victim was good old Sam
Hop. Sam went four rounds with him
and really made good showing. But
Sam is bothered with prominent teeth.
He draws his upper lip down over
his tuskers all right. bur. every time
he lands. he has to smile and then
Cullen would lab him lightly on his
mush. This offended Sam to such an
extent that he became quite peeyed
