In many parts of "the land
of the free and the home Of
the brave" at this time Of the
year building operations are
suspended, and every man
has his eye on the coal deal
er while watching the water
pipes showing a tendency to
freeze UP. In Honolulu
where spring is four seasons
in the year, carpenters may
work inside or out.
The unusual operations of
the past year has had a de-
pressing effect upon edge
tools, for like everything
eIse--they give way with
too constant use. We have,
in view Of the prospective
demand, made a big buy OF
the finest grade Of tools OBJ
tainable in eastern markets;
they are what carpenters and
maChiniStS need all the time
and when buying the best
they get that which lasts
longest and obviate the ne
cessity of breaking in"

SUNDAY MORNING FIRE.
Home of George Contumanos
Burned to the Ground.

Between l and o'clock Sunday
morning the home of George Contu-
manos of the California Fruit Market
was burned to the ground without
thing being saved.
Mr.. Contumanos has been i'll for
about fortnight He and his wife and
child retired very early Saturday
night. and he fell into the first rest
full slumber since the beginning OF his
illness. About 1:15 a. m. Sunday Mrs.
Contumanos was awakened by crack
ling sound. and was Mortified to find
flames coming in through the back door
of the bedroom, which is situated III
the front part of the building. She
cried out 10 her husband, but he did
not seem 10 realize the situation. Upon
calling again the wife succeeded IN
making him realize the danger. He
/ crawled out Of bed. and was so weak
/ that he fell PROSTATE on the floor
while the flames were spreading
through the hallway and the other
rooms. He finally succeeded in getting
/ orr of the house with his wife and
child. and went to the home OF neigh
Dor for the remainder of the night.
/ The fire engines got up too late tc
I do any good 10 the building, and on
account OF its great distance back from
/ the street a stream Of water could no.
be obtained until the roof had fallen in
No. l did the work.
\ large number of people turned oui
/ to see the fire. and not few OF those
became initiated into the mysteries OF
the taro patch.
At tho corner of Liliha and KinE
/ streets Patrolman Carter ran into
hack containing q fireman. Both were
on the way to the fire. Carter Wa:
thrown to the ground, but was no
! badly hurt.

Of mind II may not do any very great

Tort of malice that says just enough

AIRY chance for confronting or punish
ing the speaker. The man or woman
who hints evil or says halfway joking
things that start evil thoughts in the
minds Of others Is unfit for decent
people to associate with. They should
be banished from the society OF their
fellows and punished as they deserve
with the loss of all respect and con-
sfderation Of those about them. The
insinuating circulator Of ~faIsehoods is
the blacklist of criminals and deserves
a hangman's rope. Society is power
less, and law, as it now stands. seems
unable to mete out suitable punishment
to these offenders.
