Pertinent and Impertinent
Notes from Kealia Town
Mrs. Tsuma Yamada was struck by
an automobile driven by Oyahasu Ka
ma and suffered a dislocation of the
shoulder and painful bruises. Tho
acddent,occurred In front of the Kea
lia post office about noon Saturday.
Eye-witnesses state that it was tho
lesult of reckless driving as the car
skidded over fifty feet with tho wheels
locked from where tho driver applied
the brakes.
It is littlo wonder that there has not
been more accidents as it scorns to
bo a provalling sport among certain
drivers to speed through Kealia. It
Is nothing for somo of them to pass
through tho town at the rate of forty
miles an hour. Perhaps it would not
be a bad idea to bring a few of them
beforo a court as they seem to bo of
the type that has no regard for the
rights of others.
X charge of heedless driving will
be brought against the driver of tho
car that hit Mrs. Yamada and local
peoplo are watching tho caso with In
terest. It might bo a little better if
our local polico paid a littlo less at
tention to tail lights and a littlo more
to reckless driving.
Mrs. Joaquin Sousa is a patient at
tho Lihuo Hospital whero she Is re
covering from an operation, which was
performed last Thursday. Her many
friends wish her a, speedy recovery.
"Oily" Jones was a visitor In Kealia
Thursday and lunched with tho Sons
of Rest. "Oily" took advantage nf
their hospitality by trying to steal
their cat. Ho says that they aro be
ginning to wake up on tho other Ide
of the Island.
Frank' Burns is looking for a new
name for his famous fishing mynah
bird. Frank formerly called it
Isaac Walton" but Isaac will not do
as it is not that kind, of a bird. "Isaac
disappeared a while ago and Fiank
was mourning tho loss of his pet. But
last week ho found her and she wa3
mothering four littlo Isaacs in a nest
she had built in the garage. Frank
says she was prouder than tho day
she spotted tho school of mol for him.
Ho Intends to see that the young ones
follow in their mother's footstops and
has already begun their training.
Jake Woo, tho night cheml3t, has
learned that somo of tho other chem
ists have found other uses than teat
Ing sugar for tho polarlscopo room.
Jake wants to know how they got
that way. '
Mr. and Mrs. Barclay havo moved to
their new homo on tho hill while Dr.
and Mrs. Golding havo moved into tho
former Barclay homo. Mrs. Golding
was rather nervous about living' so
close to tho Sons of Rest but Mrs.
Barclay Informed her that tho only
thing that used to disturb her was Jim
Corstorphino practicing his speeches.
Jim docs not mako any more speeches
now. All he does is listen.
A Mllwauklo astronomer predicts
that during tho next six years tho
country will ho flooded with twins,
triplets and quadruplets. Several
Sous of Rest who have been figuring
that two can live as cheaply as ono
havo been doing a little more figuring
and are showing signs of hesitating
and backing away from tho halter
pardon us tho altar.
Since Senator Rico's Inquiry In re
gard to whethor tho territorial wharves

self. Ho has also been acting as
chief wharfinger while John Rapoza

Rice's claim was thrown out. It was
discovered that tho drink ho had was
charged to tho proprietor's account
In tho opinion of the Judges, nono als

llSIflEL
SHOW A
HOWLING
SUCCESS
Did the minstrel show last Saturday
night make a hit? I'll say it did I
They simply can't quit talking about
It It was so much .better than they
expected. Every number from tho
opening chorus to the grand finale
was enthusiastically recoived and en
cores were tho order of tho evening.
H. D. Sloggett made a decided hit
with his song, "Who Dat Said Chick
en In DIs Crowd".
Mr. Lineau, in his ballad, "I'd Lovo
to Fall Asleep and Wako Up in My
Mammy's Arms", was warmly recei
ved. Parson Warner proved conclusively
that ho Is not a Methodist. His buck
and wing dance was received with
great applause.
Adrian Englehardt made tears como
to tho eyes of the masculine element
of the audience with his touching
ballad, "When tho Moon Shines on
the Moonshine."
Judge Achl rendered "Mammy's Lul
laby" in a masterly manner and was
very heartily applauded.
K. C. Hopper got a kindly hand in
his bono solo.
Chas. Fern's monologue"Somebody"
was woll recoived as was his famous
Bert William's poker pantomime.
Ernest Weight (the Kauai Caruso)
was a Joyful surprise to thosd who
had not had the opportunity of hear
ing him sing before. His solo, "Let
tho Rest of tho World go by" made n
big hit.
A. Horner Jr. in his "Old Man Noah"
was probably the hit of tho evening.
K. B. Morgan mado an excellent
Wnterlocutor and filled that difficult
position as if to tho manner born.
A. Horner Jr. at the piano, was ro-
sponsiblo in no small measure for tho
success of the performance.
Mr. DoIIInger not only acted as di
rector during the long period of re
hearsing, but also proved himself In
valuable in tho dressing room beforo
the performance.
The mm at $459.50 was realized
from tho performance. This sum is
to go to. the Lihue Library Fund.
WILL SHOW AT WAIMEA
TOMORROW NIGHT
In order to give thoso on tho west
side of the Island an opportunity to
see tho show tho performance will bo

To tho Music School of Punahou
Academy belongs tho credit fbr bring
ing this trio of musicians to Honolulu.
To say that Honolulu lovers of good
music aro appreciative of tho work of
these peoplo Is to state tho case very
mildly. Every concert given by this
trio was given to a largo and a most
appreciative audience.
There aro very fow opportunity
of hearing renowned musicians on tho
Island of Kauai. Peoplo who ap
preciate good music should remember
this dato and reserve It for this re
cital. Mr. A. Horner, with Mr. F. H. Haso
rot, his daughter Margaret and Miss
Sullivan, all of Cleveland, Ohio, woro
local visitors last week, arriving on
Tuesday and returning on Saturday,
during which time they visited tho
pineapple fields and other places of
interest on Kauai. Mr. Haserot Is
owner of the Haserot Co. of Cleveland
Ohio and his firm is tho Billing agent
of thojlawaiian Canneries Co. on tho
mainland. This is Mr. Haserot's lec
ond trip to Kauai.
