Whether Hiram Johnson, who
shortly takes his seat as governor
of California, reaches high politi-
/ cal honors or not, his fame is as
sured in the Celebes islands, off
the Asia coast. There he ranks
already with the classic Malayan
| heroes whose deeds are sung to
the rhythmic dipping of the pad
dies of war canoes, and whose
names the Malay brave sings in
battle hcants ere death makes him
dumb.
In the Sinar Matahari, the lead
| ing newspaper of Macassar,
Celebes, "by the Little Paternos-
tiers, as you come to the Union
bank" as Kipling puts it, appears
the following in classic Malay:

(mark that exclusively that Sir

against the republican faction, has
been elected governor of San

Bagobo, the fierce Moro and the
terrible Yacan name him hadji,

States, Sir Hiram might sweep to
victory where he would.

GREAT JAGGED MOUNTAIN
FLYING THROUGH SPACE
Did you ever hear of Eros?

Dlu you ever near VI FL OS
If you didn't, this is to inform
you that Eros is a little planet
that belongs to the same solar
systemsystem as Venus, and Mars,
and the earth. That IS, our sun
bosses Eros just like the sun
bosses the earth. And, incident
ally, Eros comes nearer to this
planet of ours than any of the
suns other planets, except the
moon.
Eros is a heavenly tramp of
whose existence morals we're en-
tirely ignorant until 1898, when it
was discovered by astronomical
sharps. However, the joke is on
these sharps, for Eros made US a
call in 1894, four years before the
astronomers found him. And the
worst of it all is that the astron-
omers now in business will never
have another opportunity to study
Eros at close range, for he has
wandered off into limitless space,
not to return again for close OBJ
servation until 1875.
Eros is the first of the planets
to upset the popular supposition
that all planets are round, for
Eros as it turns upon it's axis,
shows some sharp and jagged
edges, and is a mere mountain
without shape aeroplaning in
space.
The small planets of the little
system that revolves around our
sun number over 500.
and few of them are more than 20
miles across. None of them have
light, and the reason we know
they exist is because the spectre
scope registers them.

means Cupid.

Marco Polo was there in 1882 and
the Dutch keep an army on hand
to hold in check the readers of
Sinar Matahari. 1t is one of the
few remaining places where the
saloons have no bartenders. One
finds bamboo houses ever mile on
all roads, where is sold the native
sehnaps, which is warranted TO
Mahomet any thirsty Christian.
None is in attendance at these
bucolic bars, but the price is one
cent straight, and one is expected
to leave his coin on the counter.
There are no dishonest drinkers
and there is no credit, so that
when a saloonkeeper wakes up and
finds more than a couple of dimes
in the till, he searches for the
bodies of his customers in the
jungle.
The principal activities of the
people are adjoining their fence
palings and the tombs of their an
cestors with the brainpans of their
nearest foes. They travel only in
small bands, and with Sir Hiram's
80, 900" reputation he could cas-
lily be a Hoekoem Toer.
