out your goods and tell EN- "alIe
samee like this" They do it and the
clothes come back during the day or
night-"all saTnee likee' the sample
sent out Funny how our clothes mer
chants will take book full OF figures
to cut clothes to your figure and take
two weeks to discover they were cut
for convex stomach, while the pants
are formulated to fit some neighbor
who lives several miles away-figu-
ratively speaking.
Pick out the price and material
give them an old suit that has fit
heretofore, and, back comes a suit
several hours later that fits just like
the old one and made alike, even to
a patch on the seat of the trousers
if you don't chalk-mark it off and
especially request that it be not du-
plicated.
Ho, hum. Leaving Kobe this MORN
ing along about the time the sun was
showed up, we started through the In
land sea. 1t is reported that the In
land sea is very beautiful and worth
while seeing, which l rather think is
true.
1t is difficult to describe this sec
ton of the country. The sea seems
to have surrounded a large collection
Of islands scattered around in the
water. In other words the land and
large mountainous Jumps are not
contagious to land, necessitating sew
eral thousand sail and other boats to
connect up these disjointed communi-
ties. A few hundred thousand or less
of these ocean-stepping stones are not
nllabitated. One can readily under
stand why when you see them. We are
in reality running through a crooked
channel, skipping this vast flock OF
mole hills that have been jumped up
out of pure sea bottom land all about
us
1t is most difficult to chase from
one side of our large opulent boat to
the other to collect full view, but il
you have paid full fare on this boat,
one feels that one should see every
thing on both sides of the creek, even
if you get crick in the neck so en-
deavoring to do.
Il is understood among friends
that the further you get from your
own home town postoffice, the more
friendly YOU get to home folks, and
/ wish to remark that while passing
through this most wonderful village
OF islands, we took off our hat and
bowed three times to the steamship
marked president Wilson" Which
said boat was headed for San Fran
cisco, and us poor simps were headed
down the line.
There was little ole flag attached
to the rear end of the President Will
son" boat that really seemed nom
political as we passed her way down
here in the Inland sea.
At first we thought we had got
stuck in the mud again, but it ap-
pears that our boat has come to an
chor out near the sacred island, mi
yaiima," and It is evening.
This island IS the one where dogs,
death and children are taboo. That is
''pou" IN Honolulu and English for
"ain't done" None of them are sup
posed to flourish or get root on this
island.
It may all be a joke, but we hope
to follow it up tomorrow when we get
off and tender in to the fancy looking
ingrowing island.
Thank goodness, we were not stuck
in the mud. The captain had dropped
a doughnut overheard to stop the
ship. We was, is or are five miles
LIQUID from the famous sacred island.
A government tender came out at 8
o'clock to tease US away from the Bel
genland breakfast grub pile where we
have omleted and re-omleted ourselves
time after time, each morning until
our steward, who is our special pie
clerk, is hunting for pin feathers on
our epaulette holders. The tough ten
der came alongside and we nearly
swamped the layout. You know what
| mean.
There are so many of our kind or
some other kind disguised as hu-
mans, who just naturally gotta be
right out in front and slightly in adj
vance of all other humans. They are
first in about all else except courtesy,
decency and human feeling Oh, you
know the gang They pay less and
demand more than all the rest. If you
should accidentally step on one of
their tongues, one heave of an auxil-
larry tonsil would sound out as loud
as our boats steam whistle.
| don't want to knock about the
scenery but honest, some of this sort
of human scenery makes feller hunt
