Married Med.

There is an expression in
the face of a good married
man who has a good wife,
that a bachelors face cannot
possess. It is indescribable.
He is a little nearer the an
gels than the handsomest
young fellow living. You
can see that his broad breast
is a pillow for somebody's
head. and that little fingers
pulled his whiskers. No one
ever mistakes the goodman
ried man. It is only the err
ratio one that leaves you in
doubt. The good one can
protect all the unprotected
females, and make himself
generally agreeable to the
ladies, and yet never leave a
doubt on any mind that there
is a precious little woman at
home worth all the world to
him.
Every parent is like a look
glass for children to dress
themselves by. Therefore
parents should keep the glass
bright and clear, not dull and
spotted, as their example is a
rich inheritance for the rising
generation. -

Two avs.

There are two ways of
starting on life's journey.
One is to begin where your
parents are ending-magni-
icent mansions, splendid fur
niture, and an elegant turn
out. The other is to begin a
little nearer where father and
mother-of blessed memory
began. You see you can go
up as easily and gracefully, if
events show it would be safe;
but it would be trying and
awkward to come down.
And 1t cost much now to live.
And business fuctuates; and
health is uncertain, and temp
tations from the side of pride
are strong, and many ayoung
man who did not mean to be
extravagant, has been led
along; and rather than face
the position and descend man
fully, has tried to keep up by
embezzlement and been called
a ''swindler." Our prisons
are rapidly being filled by
those who make the mistake
Of beginning life at the top of
the ladder.

The Fable Of the Well.

A certain farmer needed fresh
water supply, so he said to himself:
well, well, it should be we'll for me
to dig WE'LL"
So he dug a well. But the well
didn't turn out we'll, and, what's
more, it didn't turn out water. So
he dug another we'll. Well, this
Well didn't promise well at first,
either, but Just as the tears were
beginning to well up in his eyes he
found water, which was welcome.
In his exceeding Joy he decided to
name the second we'll otis well, "
and the first one faint Well. .

Mind Your Own Business.

InOSo are JuSU Ulo WOIuS.
Had we looked through Web
ster's Unabridged we could
not have found four words
that expressed so entirely
our meaning as these. We
believe the four. words were
made with direct reference to
the grumbling, growing mis-
chiefmakers.
People who never mind
their own. business are very
much such a class of animals
as the cross, surly, whiffet
dogs, that are always bark
ing, biting and nabbing some
body. We wonder. if they
would appreciate a lecture?
We will ask them a few ques
tions just to find out. Don't

Did God make you and us

troll of the free will" he

pose and plan of our exist

be meddling with somebody's
business? 1t gives us ''that
tired feeling to think of the
pains some people take to
gather the smallest item of
news, They leave their
own garden to grow full of
weeds while they are trying
| to hold up before everybody
the few they pull from their
neighbours. They do every
thing but mind their own bu-
|siness. They never speak of
their own faults or follies
No, indeed; by the time the
whole town is criticised and
Judgment pronounced, they
not a moment left to do more
than congratulate themselves
on their own good works.
People who don't mind
their business bring more
misery into families, societies
and churches than everything
else combined. They turn
the pleasant, peaceful stream
of good will into a loathsome
pool.
Winding our own business
will make peaceful homes,
happy neighbors and a sweet
conscience that will make US
know why Jesus loved the
peacemakers and said of them
BLESSED are the peacemakers

children of God''.

LATE NUUANU DAM EXPOSURES
BRING OUT SOME OTHER THINGS

other the contract for laying the pipe
to the Nuuanu dam. In the Kalihi
contract 1 consider that 1 have been
continually done up and actually
robbed and you can quote me as say
ing so. In all the troubles between
the contractors and the department,
Rowland starts the muddles with his
ignorance, then he passes the buck up
TO Holloway. Holloway isn't man
enough to try to straighten them out
and passes the buck up to the Attor-
ney General. Now what does any At
torney General know about the con-
struction of public works?
TAKE the different contracts have
been in. I figured on the putting in
of the concrete seawa1i and the plans
prepared by the department showed
that the wall would have to go in at
a depth of nine feet. When / started
to put them in we had TO work to q.
depth of twenty-five feet. That shows
how good their plans We're. Then I
had the contract for the Kilauea slip
dredging. The specifications read that
the dredged material was to be dump
ed on the Ward estate property on the
beach. But as soon as I started in I
found that the government had no
right to dump the material there and
I had to buy more railroad line and
run the stuff 1000 feet further away.
When it came to putting down the pipe
to the Nuuanu reservoir the govern
ment had secured no righr-of-way, al
though the specifications read that the
pipe was to go through the Dowsett
property. When my men began TO
trench on that property they were
driven off and the location line had
to be shifted two thousand feet UP the
hill
'That's the kind of specifications and
work that Rowland is doing, and is
backed up by Holloway in it. Before
the ink is dry on your contract they
are around to change it and try to
make you do work for which you have
never figured. They make verbal
agreements with you and then turn
around and deny ever having made
such agreements. Rowland butts in,
in his ignorant way and tries to do
up the contractor and in this he never
saves anything for the government,
only piling up a bill of expense for it.
He won't hire a man as an inspector
who knows more than himself and as
a consequence he never has a compe~
tent Inspector in the department, or
if he does get one he fires him and
the man has to leave the country. The
men he has and calls inspectors are
spies. They simply hang around and
spy on the contractor and do not pay
attention to the work of inspection.
They are taking notes for Rowland,
who told me himself once that he was
only in this business to learn and that
he was going into contracting himself
some time.
Il have never received a cent from
the government yet in payment for the
work of installing the Kalihf sewer
system. The half that the Bishop Es-
tate promised to pay I have received,
but nothing from the government. The
first contract made for this work was

GOVERNOR AND
KAPAA LANDS
Consideration of These Lands
Is to Be Gone Into . ]
Thoroughly.

Next Wednesday has been set by
Governor Frear for the consideration
with Land Commissioner Pratt, of what
are commonly know as the Kapaa
lands. 1t was on some of these lands
that it was attempted to settle the
Molokans, not one of whom is now
left in the islands. The survey de-
partment of the Territory is at pres
ent engaged in survey of these lands,
or some of them, with the design of
dividing them up into homesteads and
town sites. This work was begun un-
der Governor Carter's administration
and has proceeded almost to compile
tion.
"Col. Spalding is expected to be
here next Wednesday, said Governor
Frear Yesterday, "and 1 expect to 60
thoroughly into the whole subject of
what shall be done with these lands.
The questions involved are not simple
nor easy. In what are commonly spok-
en- of as the Kapaa lands there are
seven ahupuaas lying side by side and

Some of them have water and some
of them have not. Some of them are
watered from others. In one case
there is a crisseross of waters, part
of one being watered from another,
and a part of the other from the one.
There are questions of reservations for
churches anu for school houses. What
can be done with the land and how
it can best be done are the problems
to be solved.
cit is probable that a part of the
ands, will be offered for homestead
ng and part will be put up at auc-
ion to the highest bidder. The eff
fort will be made TO make such dis
position of the lands as the facts justi

4 Leading Contractor ROaSts
Department of Public
Works UnsparingIy.

'I have done nearly four-fifths of the
government contract work done in the
Territory during the past eight years, -
said E. j. Lord. the well known con-
tractor last night, ''but now have
cleared out my outfit and have quit, I
wouldn't figure on another job for the
Department of Public Works so long
as the incompetents in charge are left
there. I have told Holloway this and
I mean it.
''Never since Holloway has been in
charge with Howland under him as his
assistant has there been a decent spe-
cifcation made out in the department,
not one single specification upon which
a man could figure an intelligent bid.
And there never will be any decent
work done in the department until
Rowland is fired. That man is igno-
rant and so swelled up with himself
that he doesn't know that he is ig-
norant He cannot draw up a decent
specification and when it comes to
practical work-pshaw, he don't know
the difference between concrete and
stable sweepings.
ssWhile Marston Campbell was Su-
perintendent of Public Works there
was none of this trouble between the
contractors and the department..
Campbell was an engineer and you
could go to him and get some reason.
Now there isn't a real engineer in the
whole department and there hasn't
been a contract over which there has
not been squabbles and rows and law
suits. 1t has got to be now that a
contractor has to figure in his lawyers
fees for suing the department for his
pay after he has done his work and
add that to his contract price.

While there it is understood that he
completed plans which will give
much better service between Austria
