Raymond said, as Felicia perched her

poised like pink butterfly, right in

Felicia shook her head. mournfully,

He hesitated. but she waved him

skirts as if to follow him. Then as he
sped down the path toward the picnic
grounds she reached up her hands to
the man who peered at her over the
vines.
"Oh, Bobbie. Bobbie," she said, did

KEEPING MEN EMPLOYED.

The movement to encourage employ
ers to retain full working force in all
cases where sound business principles
will admit of it is sensible and praise
worthy in every way. 1t is too much

in presidential years, and after finan-
cial furry even one of a superficial
nature like that recently experienced,
to proceed with an excess of caution,
not to say timidity. This is a big
country, with a vast amount of work
to be done. and it is not the right spirit
to lay men off for fear that something
may happen, financially or politically,
that will seriously derange business.
Don't cry out before there is hurt.
AS a matter of fact the business out
look is unusually good. The crop news
is all favorable. A large balance Of
trade is piling up on our side. The for

PASSION PLAY FOR
BALANCE Of THE WEEK

Last night there was such jam OF
people anxious to see the Passion
Play pictures, being shown at the
Empire Theater, that all could not be
accommodated and many had to leave
without even getting close enough TO
the beginning of the line to buy tickets.
Such is the popularity of this film that
the management of the Empire have de,
cided to run the Passion Play all
through the week. thus affording every,
one an opportunity of seeing it.;
These pictures are beautifully clear
and the artistic coloring and beautiful
tableaux as the sacred story is unfoided
are so realistic that there is little won
der the Honolulu public has crowded
the theater at every exhibition so far;
Some have visitedthe theater two and
three times since the Passion Play was
first put on, although the majority are
lucky in being able to get IN to see
| it once, SO great is the rush.

Had Winter Weather.

The German bark Alexander Isen-
berg arrived yesterday morning from
Hamburg, 145 days out, ga long voy-
age, as Captain Behring said. The
captain deplores the fact that he was
twenty-five days passing from fifty de-
grees in the Atlantic to fifty in the
Pacific, because rounding the Horn was
accompanied by cold, sleet and gen
orally wintry weather. The vessel,
however, did not lose a sail, spar or
member of the crew, and the latter
arrived in good condition. The Isen-
berg brings about 2760 tons of general
merchandise consigned to n. Hackfelo
& Co. The Isenberg is moored at the
Hackfeld wharf.
