Maui with two newspapers is letting
along. Maui has always had for it's
motto, make haste slowly, but it has
ever been a most successful Island. The
citizens of Maui, though scattered over
a considerable area, have easy access
to one another and there is a great
deal of broad social and i--tellectual
life in Maui, more so than in places
where there is less easy access, and
therefore where cliques are formed.

The Stangenwald building, at pres
ent the highest sky scraper in Honolulu,
is completed and is in course of occu-
patton. The pioneer building in this
direction was the Judd block. That
these buildings supply a need is mani
fest from the fact that the new build
ing has all it's offices filled, and there
is no chance of getting any thing in the
Judd building. These buildings mark
an era in the progress of the city.

Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth held ar

yond the fact that there was no foul

Legislature cannot legally pass any
thing but the appropriation bill All
discussion outside of the appropriation

BY the window Miss Simpkins sat
knitting. The young girl stood before
her.

The busy needles flashed.
Just take a look at all the women
of my age that married when | was a
young girl she went on presently.
whats happened to 'em? Everything
under the sun that could happen short
of lightning striking em dead. There's
Liza Banks, for instance. See how her
husband up and died and left her with
big family to support and nothing to
support 'em on. What with working
day in and day out she did manage to
raise them children, and raise EN- well.
Then some of 'em died and the others
married and now there she is all by
herself in two rooms taking in sewing

if anything, after all her hard work
and trouble.
But women amt got no sense. I've
heard her say myself that If she had
1t to do over again she'd go right along
the same old road. There were some
pleasant PAGES in it, she told me.
Umph! All I've got to say is Unat it's
a good thing she could pick out them
pleasant places. 1t was more'n any,
body else just looking on was able to
40.
Another is Sue Chambers. There
never was prettier young girl raised
in these parts than Sue Chambers. She
married one of the handsomest men
here too. We all thought he was a
catch. and some OF us envied Sue when
she carried him Off We didn envy her
long. He turned out to be drunkard,
and now she's taking care of him and
tue children, doing any sort of work
she can lay her hand to to keep EN-
from starvation.
Who'd ever have thought Sues hus-
band would have turned out to be a
drunkard? Nobody, and that's what
I'm trying to drill into you. You can't
tell a single, solitary thing about a

that. They keep their love so warm
and how they do 1t is more than can

There was Kate Saunders. Money

she married. he was that overbearing
and purse proud, but you should nave

Don't go away she begged him.

gate and on out of sight; then, re-
