u l. the True Story Of the Rise Of n Hum
bile Young Man.
A young man who was working as
clerk in IN importing house had occa-
sion frequently in the course Of business
TO calfat certain large manufacturing
establishments The head uf the concern
took fancy to him. One day he asked
the young man what salary he was get
ting, what his chances Of promotion
were and 50 on He was told and then
said to the young man that he thought
there was better opportunity for him
in his office than in the house where he
was then employed.
The young man replied that he should
Of course like to better himself, but
that his engagement would not permit
him to leave for some time to come.
The head Of the house said he thought
he might induce his employer to let
him 20. He accordingly wrote note to
the senior partner of the importing
house. with whom he was on intimate
terms, saying that he had formed Il lik-
ing for the young man, that he believed
there was better opening for him in
, his Office and asking that he be released.
! The next day the young man came back
with letter in which his employer,
while expressing regret at losing his
services, said that he recognized the
larger opportunity offered him, and, os
he didn want to stand in his way, re-
! leased him The clerk went to work in
his new position and SO confirmed hi,
employers good impressions that his
promotion was rapid. Hewent from one
responsible position to another until he
was next to the manager of the house.
A short time ago the manager died, and
'our hero" now no longer young
man of course. but still i'll the prime OF
life, took his place at salary very
nearly if not quite as large as that Of
the president of the United States. -

granted and accepted. As a stree,
railway franchise is now before the
Hawaiian Legislature and as the
aoplicant is a Canadian syndicate.
it cannot be untiuely to glance a
the method of Toronto. Particu'
larly in view of the fact that the
combination seeking the privilep
and perhaps the use Of Honolulu
streets, appears to believe 1t l.
treating with a gift enterprise.
Toronto had an excellent Tran
system, but really needed trolley
The municipality plunged in bold
~ and secured central of the horse
car line. 1t strengthened its posi-
tim by obtaining from the legis'a-
ture the right to operate transi
system itself should it SO desire.
Toronto had no wish to undertake
the business itself and now set
about to arrange such tranchls'
as it wished to market.
1t was first stipulated that th'
new corporation should take over
the old line at fixed figure. There
must be paid into the treasury
$500 year on every mile oil single
track, besides a percentage on
gross receipts. The city reserved
the right to determine the speed
and service on each part OF the sys-
tenn. 1t asserted the full right to
ordar extension of the system i'll
anv direction. 1t made rates, with
favors for workiugmen and
school children. There was pro-
visi IN for transfers. Car construo-
ton and loading were specified.
No enploye of the company was
TO work more than ten hours a daN
or sixty hours week, or receive
less than fifteen cents an hour.
The company now operating the
line was pleased to accept all thes'
conditions and to give to the city
8 per cent on gross receipts up to
81, 900, 900 a year. Besides all this
the lines are idle on Sunday. This,
of course, makes very
substantial difference in the
receipts. To alter this con
condition a majority vote OF the
electors of the city is required. Al
present the sentiment is against
Sunday running.
Now in Hawaii mel the company
applying for the charter unblush-
inglv asks f r about all the conces-
sions that the city OF Toronto
reserved to itself. THE STAR fails
utterly to observe any good reason
why the embryo company should
be made beneficiary. 1t would be
more like business to iatten W
the present tran 1t concern. 1t II
is believed we require more lines or
faster service, 1t might be
well to open negotiations with
the Tramways Company. OF
course this is merely a suggestion
calculated rs argument that to rush
pell nell into the arms of Duns
muir and associates, or associates
and Dunsmuir, would be mad folly.
They ask for too much without
offering the slightest substantial
evidence Of an earnest.

''Early tllis spring." says Mrs. Casou,
ga pair of 1nocking birds built tilcie
nest in a slender young elm tree just
outside my window. Before a single
egg had been laid therein a violent
wind came, tossing tho tree hither and
sthither, utterly destroying The nest,
With patient perseverance the birds
went again to work and soon had the
nest rebuilt in the scfsame crotch,
and this time the female deposited two
eggs within. One day. but d short
time thereafter, during a pretty severe
blow Of wind, L observed the two mock
ing birds in considerable commotion.
and suspected that they feared another
catastrophe to their domicile, Feeling
particular interest in the result Of the
storm for them,.I kept pretty close
outlook, and by and by saw She male
bird fly away, leaving the female sole
