To The Public.

1t is with pleasure that |
wish to announce to my many
patrons and the public, that
Mr.. Harry L. Drukker, now
Of San Jose, California, and
who four or five years ago
was in my employ, is coming
back to locate with me. He
will be here the early part Of
April. Mr.. Drukker is not a
stranger in Franklin, as he
was in my employ as watch
maker and jeweler about four
or five years ago. He is also
a graduated optician and has
had a good deal of experience
in this particular line of
work. When Mr.. Drukker
arrives it will afford me much
pleasure to guarantee his
work in every way, and at
the same time render prompt
service to my patrons.

A., who has come to Honolulu to take
charge Of the "Y" athletic work.
AT the present time there is only

Of any difficulties which may come up.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has 100 men on the

ing done by these workers is more
than worth while. Many OF these
men may be used on the French front
in the near future he concluded.
Mr.. Mosher was formerly connected
with the association at Boston, ana
has specialized in athletic work. He
Is expected to spend his time boost.
ing athletics among the men of the
army. Inasmuch as there are more
enlisted men here than at any orner

are bright for much work in athletic
lines by the new assistant.

| Undoubtedly marriage is a forcing
house that develops good or evil In
people. 1t furnishes the environment
l. which virture and vice find their
perfect habitat Nowhere else on
earth are people so unprotected as in
! the home circle. In no other place
have selfishness and brutality such
a field in which to work.
The bachelor and the spinster are
| forced by the very conditions of their
| life to respect other peoples rights
A degree of unselfishness is imposed
! upon them. No other human being
, is in their power.
But the husband or wife do not have
to respect each others rights, and so
the selfish man or woman can grind
wife or husband into utter nothing
ness. The bachelor or spinster must
treat those with whom he or she
comes into contact at least with civ
fifty, but no rule of politeness rules
in the holy estate where ones vic
tim is bound to be one by ties that
only the divorce court or death can
sever and where the brute or the
shrew have perfect liberty to give
their rage full vent.
No unmarried person is ever as no.
Bile or ignoble, as selfish or unselfish,
as patient or as impatient as are those
who have been through the great ex-
perience that either makes or mars
men and women, and so perhaps, in
this sense, the bachelor and the spin.
ster are only fractionally men and
women.
