icw men accomplished ia more
than one field. In some of the
vacations the pressure required
10 reach proficiency is So great
and constant that the machine
/ is good for only one thing. We
find for instance men like edu-
Gators. stenographers aud fire.
quently physicians and
attorneys who are entirely lost
when called upon to act out
side their particular grooves.
In former years the specialist
was considered a weak vessel,
rather a partial failure. Now
he is looked up to as a properly.
/ equipped man One practical
treason for this istiiat there
ar" - many orators, as it were
that it is deemed necessary to-
divide the question" in order
that all may have an opportu-
nifty of being heard. The
sporting specialist is an insti-
tuition in most places. But in
Honolulu we have an athletic
element endowed with mixed
talent. The same names occur
for base ball, foot ball, field
games and rowing. We almost
have the sturdy, old fashioned
all-round athlete. In politics
we have him sure enough.
He can deal out an office, settle
an international dispute or
determine a Constitutional
question with equal facility
and speed. He knows Just
how every act should read and
is lavish with his advice and
information. The cemetary
could ill-afford to spare these
wise men, but somehow they
are not greatly missed when
they disappear.
The Monarch is what we
are harping about all the time
and you will see by this column
of ours that we are still at it.
Last week we sold two, one
to deliver when a wheel ar
rives, and the other gentleman
insisted that we take the dis
play bicycle running in our
show window, and if you look
in there now you will SEE only
his Royal Highness, monarch
of all he surveys. The next
Australia will bring him any
amount of friends to keep him
company, and until then he
must sigh alone.
As the only wheels we have
now are two ladies bicycles,
we will describe them to you.
Is it not trife selfish for
gentlemen to ride around on
fast wheels and not ask your
wives, daughters and sweet
hearts to 90 with you in these
outings! Would they not
enjoy it as much as any man =!
Did you ever see a young
LADY speeding down the street
on a bicycle and not envy the
healthful vigor !
Make one of your dearest
lady friends a present of what
we will guarantee she will say
more than "thank you" for.
