Kahuna Nui convince
JOSher Bluffern

7 WAS highly honored one day this week
by call from Kahuna Nui the Sage of
kakaako whose erudite comments on
men and events bulk so large in the Honolulu
eye The old gentleman was all logged out
In his Sunday best-plug hat, brand-neu malo
and google glasses, and altogether was most
impressive figure.
Aloha nui, the kakaako correspondent
greeted me. i come see you, Joshes Bluff,
for get you join Double Cross"
What do you mean, kahuna Nuia" eiac-
ulated in mild establishment. This is not
election time, and anyway. nobody's going
to slip me the Double Cross if see him first.
Now, if you happen to have any other crosses
on hand-the Cross of Gold, for instance. NV
old friend Willie Jennings Bryan took an aw-
full fall out Of that cross a good MANY wears
ago; that's how he contracted the habit of
running for President. But, just the same, if
I'm going to be crucihed, | shall insist upon
cross of gold"
You talking too much, Joshes, and don't
say something's said kahuna Nui severely
You make the noise all the same some those
Hun diklomats what tell becos. Germany had
to 60 the war to defend herself against Bel
GUM. Bimeby, think 50, maybe Kaiser Will
lie give Iron Cross for you.
What d you mean, old man" INTERRUPTED
to head off further uncomplimentary COM
ment, you want me to join the Double
Crosse Where'd you get that stuff What's
the Double Crosse"
"Mebbe perhaps make mistake, Joshes
Bluff, replied the Kakaako Sage ''Mebbe
thas not the right kind of cross what I'm tell
ing to you. That's no reason why for you to be
cross with old man like me- | think mebbe so
the cross what do mean is Red Cross I'm
forgetting the name what does my fren Al.
Castle calling it, but anyway, I'm member
now, and like please for you to join too
Then, like Hanawah Kruger says, well work
side by each to get sum more mummy for help
the poor sholder what does that Kaiser Willie

shoot full of kultur~ and other painful pro-
jectiles.
i don't know much about this Red Cross
business, kahuna Nui, replied I've heard
lot of talk about it, but it seems to me it,
calculated to interfere with business as usual,
and lot of people know don't like that
Anyway, what's it got to do with you and
me? We're not rich are we?'
Me, I'm not rich, nc" replied kahuna
Nui. Us working on-the-road fallers don't
got so much money like Bob Shingles and sum
other malefactors Of great wealth. But some
time we got one two dollars what we use for
buy gin for get headache My Friend AL.
Castle tell me one day becos that old Kaiser
Willie spend all his time now making corpses
and orphants and widows-how he kill errv-
buddy so make the world civilize, and the
people what don't get killed yet they need
plainly money for buy medicine and clothes
to for tie up hole where the kultur bullet 60
in, and kau-kau for the keiki of the sholder
what Hun Willie make
And Al. tell for me becos bimeby when
Hawaii really truly waking up (she moemoe
this time) and find out the Sammees are fight
with Kaiser Willie's Huns then errybody will
want to give all the money what can they
afforded for help those poor peoples
And Al. tell for me, too that next Satur-
day the Red Crossers go all around town and
down in kakaako and Punahou and other
residence districts where us working-on-the-
road fallers and politicians and missionaries
lives, and ask us all to join the Red Cross and
give our money for those shooted sholders
and sick keikis and women what lose their
married husbands
And mother things AL told to for me that
this war our war-not President Wilson war
or congress war or the rich faller war. And
know Al. he's good faller and never punt
puni to me. So, Joshes this was belong me
and belong you. Charlie Roses he no can put
it out So me and you, we must do errythings
what we can for hel p stop the Hun kultur
from kill our sholders. So tha's more better

things if we join the Red Crosses and give
our money what before we spend for buy
headache water, so the Red Crosses can buy
milk for the keikis and a medicine and
~ndage for the Sammies what get hurt"
The earnestness of Kahuna Nui impressed
md, painful as it was, | began to think.
na Nuts right at that, was my con-
Its up to all of us to get in and do
Especially as we can't get anybody
e; it for us. And told the kakaako
Sa. IS with him.
kahuna Nui promised that next Saturday
he would come around and let me sign my
name to the Red Cross roll and that he would
decorate me with Red Cross that has any
other sort of cross beaten to a FRAGILE, as our
strenuous ex-President puts it. So on Satur-
day Kahuna Nui and will be with the rest
of Honolulu-for the old gentleman told me
that he expected everybody in the city, includ-
ing all the working-on-the-road fallers and
the missionaries and hack drivers, to join the
Red Cross. And I've a bunch he's right,
at that.
| told Kahuna Nui was going to write this
for the newspapers, and the old gentleman
said he wanted his name to be signed to it,
too. So here we both are.
