HAS HIS SWIM,
BUT MISSES BOAT

f. w. Carmichael, erstwhile student
at Niles College, not far from San
Jose, California, and until yesterday
bound for his home in Shanghai on his
annual vacation of few months, claims
that Mr.. Misfortune took huge run
and jump at him yesterday. And
thereby hangs tale. For the Togo
Kisen Kaisha liner Nippon Maru was
minus one of her passengers when she
sailed away for the Land of the Rising
Sun last evening and-Mr. Carmichael
was the passenger.
sit was and it wasn't my fault, !"
he is quoted as saying. And he guess
ed the answer the first and the second
time. For, though he was little long
in coming out of the inviting waters
of dear old Waikiki yesterday, he GER
tainly made up for all the delay when,
as he was coming in from the beach in
the street car, he espied the beautiful
little liner vending her way through
the channels of Honolulu harbor. Mr..
Carmichael Immediately became very,
very busy.
He hadn't seen his folks at home for
nearly year, and the sight of that
steamer-his steamer-going away with
out him made Carmichael more than a
wee bit lonesome. Besides, his extra
clOthes--in fact, all the clothes he had
other than those he was wearing-were
neatly slowed away in his comfortable
stateroom.
He jumped off the car at the corner
of Fort and King streets, broke all
| speed records in getting to the water
| front, and leaped into rowboat, leav-
ing a trail of smoke behind him. Ex-
citedly he told the boatboy that he
wanted to catch the Nippon Maru. The
| boatboy wondered, and the more he
| thought the more he wondered. But
/ he had to make a living, and he kept
| at the oars.
"Faster, faster, and still faster,
were all the orders he received. And
| the good ship "Mollie, or whatever
the boats name happened to be, did
| her level best-to no avail. 1t was
soon seen that the rowboat could never
make connections with the Nippon
Maru.
SO Carmichael finally decided to Sc
cure a launch This was done in iiffy
but by the time the little boat got W
speed the Nippon Maru had almost dis
appeared in the distance. The chas,
was given up, and Carmichael cam,
back to town. While he admits tina
it was a mighty good swim he had on
at Waikiki he says that he wishes ht
had made it little shorter He viii

Orient In the meanwhile he is indulg
ing in sad meditations over thu
things he might now being doing OF

BURROUGHS EATS
| TWO-F|NGER POI

, 81 tried eating poi with my fingers
today" said John Burroughs, last
night, sizing up his impressions of Ha-
wall and things Hawaiian. 81 tried
eating the national dish in the national
style. 1t was easy to do, and L found
it good. -
The celebrated naturalist emphasized
the last word, almost as if he expected
the goodness of poi to be disputed or
his skill in handling the dainty a la
fingers questioned Whatever Mr.. Bur
roughs says, however, carried with it
self the ring of sincerity and because
he says it, it is certain that the poi
was good.
Mr.. Burroughs has found much that
was good in Hawaii and he leaves today
on the Manchuria with regret. He
would stay longer if his other arrange
ments would permit, and he will return
to taste deeper of the joys of life in
the Paradise of the Pacific. Such is
his announced intention.
81 confess that l did not think that
there would be much to interest me
in these islands, he said last night.
"When the friends whom l am with
| wanted me to come here 1 rather OBJ
| iected, but l have been repaid many
! fold for the trouble of the trip. Now
| feel that / do not want to go away
at all. That is the trouble. l want
to stay here and / certainly want tC
come back and have all my friends
come.
"Your life down here is the rea
thing. Your people have almost smoth
cred me with their hospitality and
have enjoyed every busy minute OF
the time | have been here. Your hos
pitality is real and another thing, wheI
the people here ask you to 60 for 6
walk, they mean a real walk. The Gov
ernor took me for ten-mile tramp tn,
other day, and ten miles down here
most of it up hill, is, rather more thar
| am accustomed to. But wherever
have gone i have seen so many inter
esting things. Your soil here is differ
ent to anything l have seen, and tn
trees and foliage and plants are beau
tiful,
81 did want to go out and talk wit
the men who till your soil, the small
cultivators in the valleys, but l go
cheated out of that. / want to Sc
the island of Kauai, too. Perhaps
can when | come back here. -
Mr.. Burroughs ended his Hawaiia
experiences by attending luau yestei
day afternoon, where he tasted the pc
that was good and experimental wit
many other dishes peculiar to Hawa
. ian luaus. He drank coeoanut mil
through straw, toyed with squid ter
. tacles and was helped to many othe
:. things of which he knew not the nam
; and concerning which he dared ask fe
questions. This experience he enjoye

About Pineapples.
Mr. George B. Mcclellan had ten
| minutes conversation with Chairman
Aldrich of the Finance Committee
| this morning about the pinapples du-
| ties and thereby earned the envy of
lot of people who are trying to get
the ear of that very busy man on
| tariff matters Mr.. Mcclellan thus
had opportunity to go over the pine
apple situation with Mr.. Aldrich and
to explain the wants of the Hawaiian
growers. AS a result he has today
secured a promise from another mem
Der of the Finance Committee to
present an amendment in the Senate
to the pending tariff bill to change
the rates on pineapples Just what
the modified amendment will be Mr..
Mcclellan is unable to say. He is
to have conference soon with this
Senator of the committee during
which it will be determined whether
it will be wiser to attempt to elm
mate canned pineapples entirely
from the canned goods schedules and
to have them classed with and as
fruits or to attempt to modify the
present paragraph so that 1t will con-
form nearer to the needs of the in
dustry in Hawaii

BAIT FOR ALLIGAT0RS.
The Way a Mexican Indian Gathers In
the Ugly Beasts.

VIC wy
4 Pinto Indian Of eastern Tabasco
adopted q novel method OF catching
alIigators. The Indians weapons were
q harpoon, a stout club and a coil OF
tarred lariats. For bait he used a
sucking pig, a box Of something which
smelled Extensively and several chunks
Of half roasted meat.
Selecting an overhanging Dough
about six yards from the waters edge,
the Indian stripped off its leaves and
suspended from the fork the squealing
Dig. That was the bait for the eyes
and ears of the alligator.
Opening the box, he used Its OMEN
sive contents to grease a string, one
end Of which he tied to a bush, and,
weighing the other with a piece of
wood, threw it into the river. That
was the nose bait.
Between the thicket and the waters
edge was q long sand dam, capped
with a row OF gnarled logs. Taking
the chunks of meat, he placed them
at equal intervals between the beach
and the ridge OF the dam. This is
my grub bait" said the Indian. ut
will make him mount the barreea"
(barricade).
Stimulating the pig with kick that
caused it to squeal for the next ten
minutes, the Indian waited in ambush,
harpoon in hand One end of long
Iariat was fastened to it and the other
to tough elastic sapling. The sun
had set and it was growing dark when
a dark object was seen to rise slowly
from the water and sprawl up the dam.
The first chunk Of roast bait was COB
bled.
Hes smacking his chops" chuckled
the Indian. It's the same one eyed
old sinner that owes me two pigs, but
he's going to pay his debts
Gobbling the second chunk, the alli-
gator crawled on, swallowing the third,
and ut the sight OF the hanging pig
stopped and glared. Suddenly he
pushed forward and fell into a sandy
hollow behind the dam.
Instantly he turned and headed for
the dam. Up sprang the Pinto and
hurled the harpoon through his scaly
hide. Il got you this timer he shout
ed.
Jerked back by the tension Of the
lariat. the alligator made the leaves fly
with his switching tail and would have
snapped the rope If the elasticity OF
the sapling had not broken the force
| Of his spring as he plunged forward
again and again.
Selling the club and jumping around
| the foundering prisoner, the Indian
dealt him whack across the head that
laid him sprawling on his back. Three
more blows. and the alligator had paid
| his debt-New York World.
