The difficulties which be set the
paths of newspaper people vary
according to locality; in the
Nothern States, where there are
thine months winter and three
months very late fall it frequent
ly happens that the roads are
blockaded with snow. just about
the time the paper supply is ex-
hausted, so the editor has to fall
back on his polished-surfsce
book paper to get out his edition
In yicksburg, Mississippi, away
back-in the sixties an entire stock
OF wall paper was used in getting

was not obtainable.
In some places the people will

But when Saturday night comes
around the gentle and ungentle
compositor rebels, when he is of
fered anything, but coin in pay
ment for his services, and this
accounts for the fact that half
the editors in United States are
troubled with insomnia. We
have known compositors in eoun-
try towns to actually refuse to
live on diet of roller compost
and strike if the editor would not
divide the contents Of the paste
pot.
In Honolulu, things are differ
ent; paper is manufactured in
California, and the ocean never
freezes so hard that the vessel
cant run, SO there is no delay
there in getting stock of paper;
the typos usually meet the
business Managers on Saturday

coin, and the editors who do not
wear search lights u their shirt
fronts leave them off, because
they do not wish to be mistaken
by tourists for capitalists. The
compositors, too, are of better
class than you will find on the
Pacific Coast; they dress better,
live better and are better citizens
than you.will find in other places.

If there is anything that will
set off the appearance of home,
a good hanging lamps is the
thing. We have new stock of
Lamps that is SO varied in styles
and prices that we can suit the
tastes and purses of everyone.
The burners, which is really
more important than the decora-
tions, have been selected with a

light with the least possible
amount OF heat. We offer these
to the public at prices suf-
fciently low to induce more peo-
pie to buy than we have Lamps
to sell.
Garden Hose is as much a
necessity as a telephone. The
long stretches of dry weather kills
the grass unless it is irrigated
and you cannot very well ilrigate

Table Knives. Carvers, Spoons
and Forks are cheaper than they
have ever been before and we
have a big stock Of them. The
Knives are the best made in the
States and the spoons and Forks
the best quadrupse plate. These
will last as long as solid ware that
costs fonr or five times as mach.
