people who read the daily papers
and get the news happenings
from the four quarters of earth,
do so with little thought of the
expense attached to getting out a
paper and the trials and tribula-
lions of the editor and frequent
loss OF money to the owners
The difficulties which be set the
paths of newspaper people vary
according to locality; in the
Nothern States, where there are
mine months winter and three
months very late fall. 1T 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-surface
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
out a weekly paper. newspaper
was not obtainable.
In some places the people will
demand q maximum of news.
telegraphic and local at min
imum price, and then want to pay
their subscription and adyertis-
ing bills in wood or vegetables.
But when Saturday night comes
around the gentle and ungentle
composition 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 coun-
try towns to actually refuse to
live on a 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
can't run, so there is no delay
there in getting a stock of paper;
the typos usually meet the
business Managers on Saturday
with a broad smile which they
give in exchange for good gold
coin, and the editors who do not
wear search lights in 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,
even at twelve and half cent beer
is not inducement enough for
hem to take on Jag"
If there is anything that will
set off the appearance of home,
! good hanging Lamps is the
hing. We have a new stock of
Lamps that is so varied in styles
md prices that we can suit the
'astes and purses of everyone.
The burners, which is really
more important than the decora-
lions, have been selected with a
% securing the most powerful
light with the least possible
mount of heat. We offer these
o the public at prices suf-
low to induce more peo-
lie to buy than We have Lamps
o sell.
Garden Hose is as much a
necessity as a telephone. The
ong stretches of dry weather kills
be grass unless it is irrigated
nd you cannot very we'll irrigate
Inless you have Hose, the water
upply is meagre but with a little
onniying one can always get
nough to keep the grass and
lants alive.
Table Knives, Carvers, Spoons
nd Forks are cheaper than they
ave ever been before and we
ave big stock of them. The
Aniyes are the best made In the |
tates and the spoons and Forks

Ill last as long as solid ware that
osts four or FIVE times as much.
