And now, Mr.. Editor, let me give you
few facts OF my visit to Hawaii. 1

at any rate, played very deft and
gentlemanly games of robbing me.
On the other hand, want to say
that ! was gloriously entertained by

ceived height of hospitality that can.
not be excelled anywhere else on the
earth, and that my heart goes ont in
love and appreciation to numerous
friends that L made in Hawaii, But I
wish to point out this weakness of Ha-
wall: namely, of elevating every chance
visitor to it's shores on a pedestal,
seemingly for the purpose of casting
potsherds at him. 1 had scarcely left
the shores of Hawaii myself, when the
papers let loose with an attack upon me
charging me with having issued worth
less checks. Bystander says that / was
treated like a lion. All can say is
that it was darned funny way to treat
a lion. Again, I reiterate, this is the
provincial note struck by Hawaii. And
the sooner Hawaii gets over it the bet
ter. Of what use is promotion com
.mittee. and of predetermined citizens,
when they allow a set of mediocre re-
porters to set their ethical newspaper
pace for them and mould their opinions
for them7 So long as Hawaii is salts
fed with the opinions of men of the
caliber of Bystander, just that long is
Hawaii contented to be provincial.
Sincerely yours,
JACK LONDON.

Continued from page one.)
latest comet, which has been seen from
all along the coast, is described by the
amateur sky pilots as having tail
thirty feet long pointing straight at
you and dwindling off family at the
end in a most undecided and hesitat-
ing manner as if it were in doubt
whether to grow a longer one or not.
This comet is Comet 1910a, the first
comet sighted in the year 1910, and
lately reported from South Africa. An
Associated Press dispatch Sunday night
stated that it had been sighted from
Flagstaff, Ariz. Although the arrival of
its brother, Halley's comet, somewhat
eelipses 1T in public interest, the tele-
scopes of the observatOries of the world
are turned on this visitor, but little as
vet has been learned about it. At pres
emit it bears the usual name given to
comets when first sighted, which sig
nifies its place in the Astronomical OBJ
servations of the year.
An oficia1 Description.
Professor DonaghhO, of the College
of Hawaii. has written the following
letter which tenderly buIies all hopes
that il is the Halley's comet. AT the
time it was written the writer had not
seen the cable from Flagstaff. AS this
dispatch names the comet 1904 it
proves that it was first sighted this
year and not last year as Professor
DOnaghho thought possible The letter
il as follows:

Her wav Of Puttina II.

A gentleman stepping on board Of
an ocean bound steamer just before
she started inquired Of the captain
where the old steward was. "Oh," re-
piled the captain, "he was discharged
some time ago" "Why did he leave?
He seemed first rate fellow" "Well,
to tell the truth, he got too big for
his breeches and we had to get rid
Of him." This was overheard by a
bright little girl the daughter Of one
Of the passengers on the steamer. Soon
after another passenger arrived, and,
after looking around, said, Il don't
see the old steward. What has be-
come Of him?" 81 think he was dis
charged" said some one. "What for p

CLEVER ACTS
AT OPERA HOUSE
Harris Amusement Co. Give
Good Show at Popular
Price

That il is possible to offer a well
selected assortment OF high class
vaudeville at popular prices when the
capacity of the house and the crowds
warrant is well illustrated in the bin
which the Harris Amusement Company
offered at the Opera House yesterday
and which will continue FOR the re-
mainder Of the week.
'Alrs Fair in Love-" the one act
comedy which Frank L. Dean and
Company presented, is the headliner Of
the show Bright and sparkling comedy
runs through It to near the end, when
there is sudden switch to pathos,
which holds attention for a few min
utes and then gives way 10 a happy
ending as the audience desires.
In the way Of production as we'll as
ability Brooks and Kingman have sur
passed acrobats who have previously
appeared az tho theatre. The act
carries a stage full of scenery and
opens with some excellent pantomimic
comedy, which continues on through
the production. for this is really more
than a mere acrobatic act.
The IaBelles are hoop jugglers and
hoop rollers. The act takes well from
tho start. Both Mr.. and Miss LaBelle
are good looking young people, and
they roll hoops in the most expert
fashion. Just to show that they can
do other things Miss LaBelle sings
a song in decidedly pleasing style.
Howell and Webster soon proved 20
he entertaining singing and talking
comedians. They dress well, are a
good looking young couple and have
ability both TO sing and to givo con-
versational comedy. II was the gem

heard from in the larger cities before

graceful and dificult steps. One of
the hits Of tho act was a dancing imi-
tation OF a baseball game in which the
dancer initiated all Of the players. con-
cluding with a man making a home
run.
The new moving pictures show some
artistic colored films and completed a
bin which is a revelation as to the
possibilities OF vaudeville at ton cents
for any seat. II is expected to prove
especially attractive on Saturday when
school children get an opportunity to
attend the theatre.

Whether in the case Of neighbors or
members of the same household, it
holds that when two people set out to
see how mean they can be they seem
to succeed, each surprising the other
by a good lap every turn in the game,

future Of both parties concerned. On
the other hand, If the contest is one
in which there is an effort to outdo
one another in consideration and kind

and contributing substantially to the

A very simple preventive Of the con-
traction of diseases, chiefly typhoid,
from an impure water supply lies in
bringing to a boiling point all water
which is used for drinking purposes
or taken into the mouth for the wash
ing Of the teeth or gargling OF the
throat. Such treatment of water will
destroy any disease germs which it
may contain. or course such precau-
tions will avail but little If the family

are rinsed with cold water from the
