Two Pointed Question. Answered.

What is the use of making a
better article than your COMPETE
tor if you can not get a better
price for it
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought pro-
minently before the public both
are certain to be tried and the
public will be very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only
the better once 80. ..
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for
years and have found that it can
always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with
some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one reme-
dy that they know to be reliable,
and for coughs, cold and Group
there is nothing equal to Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. For

NEWS BUDGET FROM MAUI

WAILUKU, December 23.-W.
z. Haia, member of the Legisla-
ture under the Republic during
the sessions of 1895 and 1896, has
received his commission as Dis
trict Magistrate of Hama, Maui, to
fill the vacancy during the tempo.
rary absence of Magistrate Ioseps
who intends to pay a two months
visit to the Garden Isle, or the
LAND of Manokanipo."
While Mr.. Wadsworth was at
tending the Lahaina term this
week as one of the jurors, his ice
factory at Kahului broke down
for two days, but was in good
working order again on Thurs.
day.
Masons have put in new
cemented pedestal for the old La
hsina Courthouse flag pole last
week. Mr.. Doyle of Honolulu
has the honor of carving the fol-
lowing hieroglyphics on the pc
destal: "The American Flag was
raised on August 18th, 1885,"
The miscreant who tied a horse
with long rope to the rope Of the
bell of the Anglican Church at
Lahaina has escaped to Honolulu,
and Rev. Ault is after his sclap.
1t appeared that the horse grazed
about the church yard during the
night and, after ringing few
strokes of the bell, went out into
the road and was found there in
the morning. Lahaina Church
members have sworn to tie the
fellows ears to the church bell
when he comes to the Lahaina
term again next year. The mat
ter is, however, in the hands Of
the Maui authorities.
The last of the Foreign jurors
attending the present term of the
Second Circuit Court left for their
respective home yesterday after.
noon. The steamer Lehua waited
all day until nearly five o'clock,
when ID. McCorristou boarded
her for his home at Kamalo.
During the Lehuas stay in port,
one of her boats was carried far
out to sea but was recovered.
The road from Waikiki to Maa-
laea is being repaired and maca-
damized. John KIM, the able
prison luna in charge of gang of
Japanese, is having the pail road
from Maslaea to Olowalu maca-
damned and widened to ten feet.
This road is very fine piece of
work and work great credit is due
Mr.. KIM. On account Of the
good condition of this road now,
the time from Waikiki to Lahai-
ma on horseback has been reduced =,
and yesterday Deputy Sheriff
Scott rode over from Waikiki to
Lahaina on comparatively small
horse in the good time of one
hour and orty-tive minutes. The
clerk of the Circuit Court claims
to have covered that distance in
about one hour and forty minutes
on Judge Kalua's horse, but the
knowing ones of Lshaina, who
perhaps do not possess as strong
and as fine a horse as the Judges

A Parting Shot.

A young girl was taken in to din
ner by a solicitor, who probably,
considering her too youthful for it
to be worth his while to make him
self agreeable, barely spoke single
word to her during the meal. 1t so
happened that she had before din
ner asked him to explain the differ
ence between barrister and So
licitor, which he did by telling her
that, as the latter was not permitted
to speak in court, the former had
always to be employed for the pur-
pose. At the conclusion of dinner,
as the ladies were leaving the room,
she sarcastically addressed him in
the following words: "What a pity,
Mr.. K, you omitted to bring your
barrister with you this evening. -

A HOUSEWIVES POEM.

For the love of mercy sake,
Sally Ann has burnt the cakel
Folks are comm from the town,
And the house is upside down.
All the supper will be late
lis too bad to make 'em wait
But what can woman do
Cleanin house and balkin too?
On, the trials of this land!
Not soul to lend hand,
And the parlor carpet, more,
Hangs across the line outdoor.
Dust and dirt in great profusion,
Bakin, cleanin, al confusion.
Guess the comp'ny, when they come,
Will wish that they d staid at home.
Fly around there, Sally Ann!
'Mongst the folks there comes man
And you know as well as me
What frettin lot they be.
Never know'd day so veXin,
Cleanln house is so perplexin,
But when bakin comes in, too,
Mixed with comply tell you!
Pans and kettles, brooms and chairs
Trip me over unawares.
Cats and dogs beneath my feet
Do not make my temper sweet.
Heller, SHELTER, here and there,
Books and knickknacks everywhere
AS l stand a-lcokin down,
Expectin comp'ny from town.
Harkl the joltin wheels hear
OF wagon DRAWN near
Mercy sakes-why, Sally Ann,
Surely tbs that dreadful man
Comm here all stark alone!
No; it's father comm home
Well, never, they amt comet
All this fuss for nothin-hum!

A Matter of Wonder.

Two men were walking along G
street at a quiet time of the day,
and man was walking only short
distance in front of them. Present
ly in line with their talk one of
the men remarked:
well, she is one of the cantan-
kerousest females ever knew"
The man in front whirled around
suddenly.
''What do you mean by talking
about my wife, sir2'' he exclaimed
excitedly.
what the deuce do you mean by
jumping at me like that2" snorted
the startled man in the rear, going
back on his pastern joints.
"What did you say, sirs"
II merely said that lady of my
acquaintance was the most cantan-
kerous female l ever met
''Well, sir, what do you mean by
saying that?"
II don't know that it is any of
your business. l don't know you,
and I fail to see what you have got
to do with what say
'But you were speaking of my
wifel'
II was doing nothing of the kind.
! don't know your wife, any more
than I know YOU"
The man seemed to have been
struck by ray of revelation. He
stopped, stepped back, rubbed his
head, bowed and smiled wan smile.
II beg your pardon" he said,
with sweet submissive gentleness.
Il thought there was only one like
her in all the world. You have nv
sympathy. Good morning" And
with never a word as to who he was
or whence he came, he hurried away
and was lost among the passers on
the streets. Washington Star.
