The road ia being built with prison labor, which eosta nothing,
so I am' told, that is to say, nothing except hum hire and a few
- other incidents. This kind of road building is both inexpensive
and expeditions. The public don't pay anythlngthHt'ls to say,
nothing but salaries and board and lodging and they get half a
mile of new road every year. On an -adding-machine I estimate
the coat of the -toad-St 9200,000 a mile, ' Why,. you remembenthat

How humiliating t would be for our exhibit of flab to nen without

she chances to have two,, and beam upon everyone entering the
fishery. - ' ,
The commission has its janitor and usher all nicked out. Ade
chaps. More intelligent than the flab, though not as brilliant. The
janitor will do a litle promotion work on the side and teach the flsh
a few tricks, when not professionally engaged. If the matron were

fow days, their salaries to be paid out of the 1.1,0(MI clear balance.
It may be heresy for one to question even the benefits Hawaii
will receive oa accouut sf this exhibit of flab aud musicians, which
represents au Investment of sKHi.ODU. No, matter what may bo said
to the contrary, there arc certain assured and uncontrovertalile. bene
fits. It Is true Mr. Wood, the janitor, the usher, the matron mid
the others in the building ma feel the highest .thrill of tU beno

The latest military yarn ia that of a recruit oa sentry duty at

was more acquainted with the language of business than with mili

the ex -clerk ;on guard threw up his piece and 'called a halt "Hey
