Here the children are quite gentle and sweet in their excitement, and so quaint- We find the stout, benevolent gentleman. at his old business of giving out sweets. How different is the chatler from the hubbub of the first place—young Japan and young America—rain on a shin- gled 190f and hailstones on a simran ly pretty! Where shall we drive now? To little native church, where a band of Ha- waiian boys from the school near by are giving a Christmas treat to some voor folk of their own race. Ah! here all ure children—old, white-haired cronies, bent, aged men—as well as those young in years. ‘There is no hubbub nor any restraint; un- affected joy in the gay tree (not a@ vine, but a tree unknown to America), in the the good music. I you the ejaculations; they cannot be described. There is the Portuguese church to visit next, where may be sure will be a clamor of shrill voices. But there will be Christmas cheer, for this race has z00d friends who look after its welfare. The Portuguese chil- dren, the street Arabs of Honolulu, look old and careworn. Their parents toil early and late, and have little time to give to individual members of their big families. One 1s glad to see these children young, for at least once in a year—glad that they are partakers of the bounty of the ubiquitous Santa. There are other churches to visit—two large native houses of worship—where mutch is done in the way of Christmas celebration, the Anglican Church, wher they well know how to keep Christmas; the Roman Catholic also—but we are weary, and prefer the open street to the noisy interiors. We drive down Nunanu street and see too many natives indulging in their idea of Christmas gayety—flower- crowned lads and girls, arm in arm, walk- ing unsteadily. We leave them and go to where are the shops with Books, toys, slippers, gowns, hats, gloves, toilet articles, all these things tired clerks are showing anxious shoppers. It is the eleventh hour and much is still to be done. Christmas shoppirg in Hawali is but a Melssonier picture of the same thing in a big American city. We kave the “grown-ups” thriftily to use their money, and start for home. We are to drive two miles in an oven cart, with a white moonlight wrapping us about in a holy calm. We look across a wide, green rice field, at the farther edge of which stands a solitary palm, and beyond it a sheet of water, the Pacific. Beyond that 1s home.

From the tire he is born until his fif- teenth year the Indian baby lives the per- fect Ife. He knows no care and has not a want; he fares as well as the best in the tribe; his days are spent in play and enjoy- ment, like the little animal that he is, of eating and sleeping; his thoughts are not for books or work; he knows that he has a place to sleep and that if any family has anything to eat he can share it. His clath- ing is sufficient for his needs, which are brought within the limits of the supply. His toys are homemade and his games are traditional. What then could afford a better target for the camera than this perfect human ani- mal? He has an individuality, it 1s true, and a name, but his animal instincts are Predominant from the beginning. His mother gives him his name at birth—a name that is never told, but is kept as sc- cret as the sacred name of the Almighty. The boy gets his name from the skies and the girl from the earth, rather paradoxical, to be sure, but I have tried in vain to con- vince the Indian mothers that it should be the other way. When it is known that the boy is the delight of the father and the girl looked upon only as a chattel which will bring value later in Hfe it is net so paradoxical after all. It is not an easy matter to photograph an Indian baby. They are hedged about with superstition in most cases and avarice in others. The mothers, until they learn the ways of the whites, are much afraid that sume harm will come to their little ones if they are shot with a camera, and after they find out that ft does no harm, then they place an extraordinary value on the privilege. The little ones themselves learn this money idea early, and it is not an un- common thing to see a whole squad of them fleecing at the top of their speed just because ‘they were not paid as much as they thought they were worth for the few minutes of posing. There is one kind of game which I have never been able to photograph among tho Indian children, and that is the kind where kissing comes in as part of the pleasure. The Indians do not kiss. Story-telling is favorite amusement among the Indian chil. dren, and if you see a group of them gath- ered about some old crone and listening with rapt attention you may be sure that they are hearing « ghost story or that is. telling them of the “‘Kitchl Maftitou, bad spirit, who carries off and e: Indian boys just as the mythical “bad man” that our nurses used to terrorize us with was supposed to put bad little white boys in his sack and carry them off. The difference between the two races is, how- ever, that while the white boys soon learn to disbelieve the stories the Indian believes = the “Kitch! Manitou” until his dying lay. he or 's bad A Bright Penobscot Indian Girl. From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Lucy Nicolar, daughter of the late Joseph Nicolar of the Penobscot tribe, is an ac- complished bicycle rider. She is just com- ing into her teens, and is a young miss of marked beauty, and wherever she goes with baskets or Indian exhibits many a young American who looks upon the In- dian matden feels that the land of the Pe- nobscots must be “‘the land of handsome women.” Just now Lucy Is recetving pri- vate instructions that she may enter the Oldtown High School. Her instructor tells me that she is bright in her studies and that mathematics is her forte. Lucy is per- haps the most proficient piano player on the island, being the owner of an instru- ment. She also sings pleasingly. But the skill of the tribe is not forgotten by this young member, for she can make baskets, etc., as well as some of the older ones.

In this case the perscns sold were only temporarye| slaves—convicts. They had been brought here from the western part of the state to be sold to the growers of tropical fruits. The convicts were in charge of fifty guards, all cf them of the cowboy “‘crack- er” pattern, armed with revolvers, rifles and whips. A rough stockade had been erected inclosing an acre. On one side the convicts were ranged in lines, most of them chained, and all of them miserable objects. Misery of the Convicts. The men were miserably clothed and most of them were emaciated and thin. Their old ¢mployers had gotten all they could out of them and sent them Here with the cheap- | est of outfits in the way of clothing. The women had cnly a single skirt. Nearly all were bare-headed. When the ccnvicts marched in from the vld warehouse where they had been kept the night previous, they flung themselves on the ground, seemingly careless of what fate had in store for them. A few negro toys laughed and told stories as if they enjoyed the situation. ‘The auctioneer, ‘Jack’ Gundy, called the bidders to the front at 10 o'clock and began the sale. The bidders. had inspected the convicts as if they were cattle. The bid- ding was different from-auctions generally. One man would bid for ten men, and if no one else bid higher he had the choice. William Stover of Fort Pierce bid in the first ten men. To the negroes the sale seemed a sort of picnic, but the whites shuffled forward,.most of them with down- cast faces and limping gait. Others boldly faced the crowd, and seemed totally indif- ferent to the scene. Men having a record for even tempers were first chosen, while the unruly cnes were the last to go. Sale of Women and Girls. After the able-bodied men all had been disposed of the boys were chosen, the wo- men and girls going last. There were only ten white wemen in tHe crowd, and they were most miserable creatures, hollow-eyed, wan and sallow. They were in for two years, most of them, and they secured fairly good mosters, according to the way things were. A bystander, a rich man from New York, it is said, bought two boys and liberated them. His name could not be obtained. For half a day this scene continued, and then the auctioneers and bidders adjourned for dinner. After dinner the crowd came buck, and the auction was finished in an hour. Then the men were told off in gangs, the chains adjusted and’ the new masters took charge of their laboyers and set off for home. re The convicts will prabably have an easier time than heretofore;“as'ithe men on the east coast will take tte care of them. The turpentine camp The western part of Florida where thé, ¢%pvicts had been were miserable, and, £r2m, stories told by some cf the men, death was a welcome re- lease.

Long a Treasury Emplose, Lately Ap- pointed Division Chief, , ri The funeral of ‘Wawin Cy Fawedtt, whose death occurred last, Morday evening, was held at his late residence; 632 E street northeast, yesterday ‘Afternoon. The serv- ice was conducted by the Rev. Dr. Luccock, assisted by Drs. Chester and Bittinger. Mr. Fawcett was born April 22, 1847, in Montgomery county Maryland. He came to Washington in 1962, and had been in the fourth auditor's office about twenty-five years. He had just been made chief of his division when his earthly labors came to a sudden close. He was a member of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, in which also he had been long a faithful and ef- ficient officer. At a meeting of the employes of the office of the auditor for the Navy Department, of which Mr, F. 41. Morris was chairman and Mrs. C. T. Limeburner was secretary, Mr. Bowen paid the deceased a tribute, saying in part: “There is no man now in Washing- ton whom I have known so long; there is none in the world whom I have longer called my friend. Beneath his plain exteri- or there was a man of heroic proportions. Behind his unassuming manners there were energy and strength. Veiled by his mod- esty were conscience and courage. Hidden by his reticence and reserve was a warm and sympathetic heart. He was born in poverty and obscurity.: He grew to man- hood without schooling, in a region ruined and distracted by war. Then, with the burden of dependent relatives on his young shoulders, he wrought by day and studied by night, until few would have guessed from his work and conversation that his ed- ucational advantages had not been of the best. He was appointed a messenger in this office, and - passed through all the grades, until his services were crowned by his promotion to chief of division. At every stage of his progress his work was char- acterized by accuracy and thoroughness. Whatever was required of him he developed the power to do. He was never pressed to the limit of his capacities. Political changes have given us a succession of au- ditors, but his abilities haye - impressed them all alike, and his Joyalty and honesty have won their lasting friendship. We lit- tle thought that, as we held his hand in our congratulatory clasp, the invisible rea} had already clasped his other hand to draw him from our fellowship forever. It matters not that his triumph was brief, the measure of his success was full. The les- son of his life was complete.” At the same meeting resolutions were adopted expressing for his sorrowing widow and children heartfelt sympathy. eS 5 MAJ. BITTINGER BLACKBALLED.
