sentence. while Alexander Dias, who
confessed to having Smuggled the
opium found al the Silent barber shop,
was given a lesser sentence OF twenty
DAYS and costs. Dias' sentence was
reduced IL this measure partly be

the islands and dominate the cleo.

The fact that while the Asiatics
are largely ia excess of any other
race in Hawaii, they are in no manner
a menace said Mr.. Wilson. There
are 10000 Asiatics ia Hawaii, 10000
Of whom are Japanese and 2Q,090 Chi

numbers, because the increase by rea
son of births is Offset by the emigra-
ton of the older persons to their
homes. OF the 10000 Asiatics, not
more than 500 have ever registered
as voters. The Democratic organiza-

HUI NALUS
DANCE SUCCESS

The Hui Nalu dance given last
Saturday evening was decided sue
cess both socially and financially.
Every ticket that was put on sale was
disposed of and while there. were
three other dances on that evening
the dancing pavilion at the Outrigger
Club was comfortably filled. The
decoration committee displayed care
and skill Black and gold, the club
colors, were in evidence and black
and gold streamers intertwined, were
festooned from each corner TO the
center of the pavilion where a huge
basket filled with yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS was suspended above two Hui
Nalu penants. The decorations were
a surprise to most everyone for bene-
fit dances as a rule are devoid Of
ornaments. s..
A number of society folk including
a few members of the army and navy
set were among those present. Those
who helped to make the affair sue
cess, were Mr.. Alex May, Mr.. Dude
Miller, Mr.. Will King, Mr.. Francis
Evans, Mr.. Kaniau Evans and Mr..
Lew. Henderson.
The music was of the best and was
contributed by the members Of the
Hun NaIu Quintet Club lead by
Dude" miller. The second dance of
the series will be given in the near
future, probably in the early part of
May.

Mr.. CROW FORGOT.

Well. they hadn't any more IMAM a"

bannened to remember that. being IN such
a hurry. none of them had thought 10
close the parlor window, and 1t would
rain in as sure as the world. There was
little table close 10 the window, with
some of his best things on 1t. too, and II
II rained they would all get wet and be
snoile6. He thought about this twice. ana
maybe more than twice, and the more he
thought about il the less he wanted to
get UP and close that window. Then all
al once. there came fash OF lightning
and low. growing thunder. Down he
bobbed under the covers. and this made
him want to get up less than ever. He
knew. though. that II would be raining
hard pretty soon and spelling his things
He had to do something right off.
So. after thinking minute, he sat up
In bed and called out
"Oh, Mr. Coon You forgot 10 close
the paror window. II Will rain In on
your things
But Mr. Coon called back:
1T won't hurt MY things, Mr.. Crow.
They're over on the other side Of the

living spirits came. each with It's own
tiny shell. to hide among the pebbles.
Each little spirit that came lived its
own life I'm It's own tiny home some OF
the shells were pink. and some were gray
and some were white. and some were
golden. and each was a tiny little home.
While the little spirits lived In these HI
tie homes they were very happy and
they sang beautiful. happy songs Inc
songs were about the blue ocean. with It's
feathery capped waves OF white foam.
They were about the high cliffs. with the
rocks and the long. level sand oeacnes'
They were about the sea birds and the
gardens OF sea weed. They were all
about the deep sea and the blue sky that
melted into the wide ocean at the hori-
ION. for all the songs were the echo or
the breaking waves on the sea beach.
vbere the shells lay among the pebbles
I'm the sun.
And after the little spirits had sung
their songs after they had lived in their
little happy houses. they outgrew these
little homes and went back 10 live In the
beautiful wide. blue ocean. But the little
songs that they had sung echoed still
within each tiny seashell. and that is
why YOU can hear the distant sound OF
the sea when you hold seashell 10 your
car and listen. II Is the echo OF the
happy little ife that once lived in the
shell and sang such sweet little songs
about the ocean.

Where the Seashell
Got Its Song
Patten Beard.

Have you ever run about uron the sea
beach, where the sand IS a warm. golden
yellow. like the sunlight. and where the
pebbles lie along the shore AT the waters
edge for the blue waves to change into
precious jewels? Have you ever picked Il
pink shell up I'm your hand and held II
close to your ear to hear the song that II
sang to you? II you have you will want
to know just how the seashell got that
song.
A long. long time ago. when the first
wet, blue waves broke into curling feath-
ers OF white spray at the edge OF the
cliffs and rocks. they made tho sand and
the pebbles. The great deep sea came
back and forth each day to work and
play with them. and IT changed the cliffs
to powdery sand and the rocks II out into
wonderful many-colored pebbles. II hung
the garlands of seamoss upon the stones
and IL touched little pebbles so that they
became precious like sapphires and emer-
aids and rubies. Then the tiny crabs
came to live in the crevices OF the rocks
and the starish summed themselves upon
the beach. and It was then that tho little

Then they ran up 10 their beds quick.
while Mr.. Crow. who had been listening
all the time. laid down ana rolled over
and laughed and laughed in the dark.
And just then there came another big,
bright fash. and down under the covers

while that time. and when they put their
heads out again the shower had COM

over.

catch it if they didn't hurry. Mr.. Gro"
