THE WORRIED WOMEN,

fhey say men must work and
women must weep; but alas, in
this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. It makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of pa]pitation and has to
lie up for day or two. II some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles of the
. throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
ovarladen woman rest as much
as possible; and, above all, place
at her command a bottle of

NEW REST HOUSE ON
HALEAkALA SUMMIT

W. o. Aiken, in recent letter to the
Promotion Committee, tells something
of the plans he has for the rebuilding
of the rest house at the summit of Ha.
leakala. At one time there was a very
comfortable stone house built there,
with bunk, stove and other convent
ences. Vandals who came used all the
woodwork of the house for irewood,
stole the stove and did other mischief,
while the cutting away of the wood.
work loosened the iron roof and a gust
loose and sent it whooping down the
mountainside.
The work Mr.. Aiken has set himself
out to do is the rebuilding and the re-
furnishing of this house. In his letter
to Mr. Wood, he says:
81 have begun operations on the
summit house, etc, at last. The material
for the work is now up within about
four miles of the top, and 7 expect to
close a contract for the work next
week, and see it begun. The great
difficulty now is water. 1t has been so
dry here for the past few months that
the water holes on the mountain are
dry, and to get water up there would
mean a great deal. Do not know just
how it viii be solved as yet II am
anxious to have the work started how,

trail looked after and kept in shape,
so that viii mean something The next
thing we want is the road to ''Tdle.
wilde" so that we can drive people
that far. 7 have asked the Governor
and the Land Commissioner to at least
have a good road laid out. and then
maybe we can get another step later

SANDWICH COMES
INTO LIMELIGHT
Drinkers Yesterday Required
to Hit the Bread
and Ham.

The restaurant booze ban was trotted
out yesterday, it being the first Sun
day in the new license year.
The meal went with the drink with
vengeance, and whereas all the slop.
DIV stuff could have been obtained for
the paying for it one short week ago,
and nobody caring whether you ate or
starved, yesterday one had to be on
nibbling terms with a sandwich before
quencher was produced.
1t was a touching thing to watch the
thirsty ones blow into restaurant or
hotel with the liquor privilege and call
for a drink, only to be confronted with
a sandwich which they general gazed
at in awe but seldom devoured.
At one place the word went round
that it WASH t considered good taste to
spoil the sandwich by biting it, and the
bread and ham slabs were still on the
plate at the close of the day, a little
the worse for wear, it is true, but still

The dummy sandwich, made of wood

colors of ham sandwich, may be in

continuance will practically wear for
ever, only requiring little paint now

the man who falls a victim to appear

MANY STRANGERS
COME To TOWN
Seekers After Easy Money, in
Honolulu Awaiting the
Fleet.

The advent of the fleet is being fore
casted by various other comings.
The last few steamers have brought
to Honolulu number of people who
are planning to make money during
| fleet week, many of them in a legiti
mate way, but others by processes
which their keen wits may suggest and
which may not appear to the police
authorities as exactly within the bounds
and requirements of the law.
The amusement enterprise man If
here looking over the ground. Choice
locations for stands and pitches are
being bargained for and the next ten
days will see shooting galleries, penny
arcades, lemmo stands, ring games,
cheap photograph outfits, and similar
enterprises calculated to give the sail
orman a chance to part with hrs
shekels, spring up like mushrooms all
over town.
The vender of patriotic canes has
already commenced business, and the
seller of gaudily painted signal codes,
all warranted to welcome the fleet, has
unpacked his wares and started to dis
pose of them.
The decorator from the mainland is
fixing up the town and the barkeep
from the Barbary Coast, who knows
the boys and thinks that there are not
enough mixologists here to cope with
the rush which is coming, is waiting
the call of the boniface to get in and
mix 'em, and the good old instructions
not to take more than car-fare from
the cash register and to be sure and
not make it the price of steamer s
passage back to the old folks at home
It is said on good authority that two
or three sure-thing men and a sprink-
ling OF tinhorn gamblers are here al
ready and that more of the gentry are
expected to arrive by the steamer to-
day. They travel storage, as rule,
but expect to go back first saloon-and
they toll not, neither do they spin.
Jack ashore with money in his pocket
is regarded as legitimate game by an
army of vultures, male and female, who
have followed the fleet from Hampton
Roads and who will stick to it like
leeches until the round theworld cruise
is concluded.

undesirables, but the police department
has kept itself well posted on the mat
ter and any raw work will be sum-
marily checked.
In the saloons, fleet cocktails are al
ready being served, and Admiral
Evans favorite brand of cigars are
ready for retailment on the arrival of
the fighting ships.
The tinker, tailor and candlestiek-
maker are tricking out their stores
gaily, and in another week the town
will be symphony in red, white and
blue.
There are fleet hats for the girls, and
if you don t have to buy one or more
you II be mighty lucky; there are star
spangled decorations for the boys;
Kapellmeister Berger is playing strict
ly fleet music at his evening concerts,
and FIVE fleet reception committees are
holding meetings as many times day.
Everything is feet and nothing is
going to be too good for the boys of
the fleet This is exactly as it SHOULD
be. Rah, for the fleet.

ART THEATER.

When you are after entertainment of
a very clean character, drop into the
Art Theater, on Hotel street, near
Bethel. The moving pictures are both
amusing and interesting. There is none
of the blood and thunder stuff that
makes children shudder and have bad
dreams, just a lot of innocent funny
things and some views of great rides
The illustrated songs are well sung.

Calendars Cost a Fortune

Add to that the cost of distribution and
the total viii reach $4,000. The makers

Of non-advertising calendars directly

utility is the chief end.

ITO get job on almost any or our
great railroads after one is 30 requires
a special vote of the board of directors.
A few gray hairs almost certainly de-
stroy a new applicants chance at any
well conducted factory. The modern
system not only demands young men,
but rapidly uses them up. An up-to-
date factory devours bone and muscle
as remorselessly as coal and pig iron;
on railroads men wear out ana nave
to be replaced almost as rapidly as
steel rails. In that prosaic account
called by all corporations depreciation
of nlant," the human element is by rar
the most conspicuous item. The pace
is so rapid that men are not mfre-
uuently superannuated at 90 or DO; at
so many are physical and mental shells.
The minute specialization of the
modern system reduces employees to
mere automatons. They do not have
the wide interest in their work ana
that close association with the outside
world that gave the old-fashloned
workman hold on life and helped TO

4 MEXICAN business men have paid
u S1s,00O0OO for their stock of 1909
"a calendars to be given away be-
tween now and the first of January.
Advertising calendars come to almost
every office and household, are accepted
as a matter of course, are used every
day during the year for reference, and
are thrown away. The advertiser gets
results, or the $18,000,000 would not be
spent, but it is to be doubted If the
average man thinks anything about
the great business represented by the
industry, says the Mexican Herald.
One calendar making firm has $50
travelling men who are on the road all
the time. The stock of calendars for
1909 has been printed and most of it
distributed. The calendar makers have
forgotten about 1909, and they are now
out hustling for business for the season
of 1910.
Calendars of the kinds which are dis
tributed gratis range in cost from one
half cent to 60 cents each. There are
very few 60-cent ones, and there are
very few half-cent ones. Many of the
art calendars which are given away
with apparent prodigality cost as much
as 20 cents each.
The insurance companies are the
greatest Individual purchasers of cal
endars One life insurance company
appropriates $4,000 to buy calendars.

TI HERE was a downpour of dollars

Il fornia yesterday. 1t rained in

a degree comparable with the effect Of

British and Irish Railways
XIII Fewer Than American

IN HE United States consul at Ply
mouth, England, reports that only
Il one person was killed in every
100000 journeys and one injured in
every 100000 on the railways of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
ireland last year. In that country the
railway mileage is 29,101, about go per
cent of it double track, and the passen-
ger traffic is enormous. 1t is perhaps
true that an accident insurance compa-
ny in old England would sell policy
for one-fifth what such assurance costs
in New England, says the Washington
Post.
Doubtless the average railroad oper-
ative of England is no more skillfui
than his fellow in America, but he is
much less reckless. Besides that, he
works on a finished and fenced rail-
road without grade crossings. His train
goes over or under the crossings in
every city, town, village and hamlet.
III addition to that, the track is all that
capital and skill can make it, and every
bridge is the perfection of the en-
gineer's conception and the artisans

RIGHTS THAT MUST BE PUT
BEYOND ALL RISK OF LOSS

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.-[Editor
Herald: Why should any correspond
ent think it necessary to rush brashly
into print, as G.. Washington Downs
has done, with the assertion-the mere
assertion-that those who oppose ma
jority rule put themselves in a pre-
posterous' position? What is the worth
of such unsupported assertions except
as irritants?
Let us get down to facts. Every one
agrees that the following rights are so
essential that they must be placed be-
yond all danger of a foolish majority
vote-the right to worship as you
please, and the right to speak and as
semble for speaking as you please. For
a century past no writer of reputation
has dared to suggest that these should
be taken from the category in which
they have been placed-that of sacred,
individual rights.
Now, a large and powerful school has
arisen-one thinks of Herbert Spencer,
John Stuart Mill etc.-and says: 1.-THE
most sacred right of all is that of earn
ing living, and this also must be put
beyond jeopardy by popular vote"
Why is that "preposterous"?
