THE AVERAGE MAN.

When it canes to a question Of trust
ing
Yourself to the risks of the road,
When the thing is the sharing OF bur-
dens,
Tho lifting the heft of load,
IN the hour of peril OF trial,
In the hour you may meet as you
can,
You may safely depend on the wis
And skill of the average man.
Wis the average man and no other
Who does his plain duty each day,
Tho small thing his wage is Tor doing.
On the commonplace bit of the way.
,Tfs the average man, may God bless
him,
yha pilots us, still in the van,
over land, over sea, as we travel,
lust the plain, hardy, average man.
So on through the days of existence,
All mingling in shadow and shine,
We NAV count on the everyday hero,
Whom haply the gods may divine,
put who wears the sWarth CRIME Of
his calling,
And labors and earns as he can,
And stands at the last with the no.
bIest,
The commonplace, average man.

Fail plowing to XIII Insects.

One of the benefits of fall blowing
that more than compensates it's disad-
vantage is wasting the surface soil by
blowing and washing, is that it de-
stroys millions Of destructive insects.
In orchards especially. many of the
larvae that are injurious are hidden I'M
der leaves or stones, where they will be
partly protected from wet, and win
there endure any amount of dry freez-
ing without injury. But turning the
soil over to the depth OF five or six
inches disturbs these insect arrange
ments. Moisture means that the larva
must begin - prepare for emerging

stab1ine and B1anketine Horses.

Horses that are exposed to rains
should be blanketed while out of doors,
and the blanket, or rather a dry one,
should cover the horse after he is under
shelter. Under the blanket the heat
gathers from the internal heat of the
body, and as there is thus double pro-
lection between the skin and the outer
air the skin does not chill. Carefulness
in blanketing a horse has at all seasons
more to do with his condition than
feeding grain. If a cold is developed in
the early winter it is extremely likely
to last until spring, and may then de-
velop into much worse disease than an
ordinary cold.

The House Artistic,

The secret of pretty home is not
so much in expensive furniture and
decoration as iii the display of good
taste, and an artistic perception of the
fitness of things. For boudoirs and
cosey rooms suites should be tabooed
in favor Of dainty nick hicks, comfort
able chairs and lounges The only
rooms in which suites are TO be toler
ated are the bedrooms, the dining
room and perhaps the library.
A little shifting will often work won-
ders Our ideas have long since scared
beyond the piano pushed back close,
against the wall, the sofa situated in Il
similar stiff pose, and the table in the
center of the room, strewn with draw
ing room albums and photographs iD
frames. Our cry is for the picturesque,
and no matter in how humble way
we may be situated, our homes must,
above all things, be artistic.

A Fruit Picking Box.

A contributor to the New York Tr1p-
une offers the following suggestions:
The ordinary basket is not a convenient
receptacle into which to pick fruit from
ladder. Too little of the opening is
presented between the rounds, owing
to the round form of the baskets top.
The round form also keeps the basket
from being stable, as it is constantly
swinging about on the one hook sup

Running a Farm.


When was young at. farming,
I'd watch the turnip tops,
And quickly go to wishing
For good, big, rousing crops.
l wished for mammoth pumpkins
All others to outweigh;
In short, took to nothing
But wishing all the day.
A solace sweet and soothing
In every wish would Turk,
Till dreaming speculation
Seemed surer than hard work.
l wished my cellar full of
Potatoes with will;
L wished the granary groaning
With corn to go to mill.
While other farmers wished for
A good supply of rain,
l thought it as sound logic
To wish for fruit and grain.
And so | went on wishing,
Contented with my lot,
In autumn no potatoes
Were boiling in my pot.
l tell you I'd discovered
That wishing only breeds
Keen disappointment; wishing
Won't pull up choking weeds;
1t won't hoe corn in summer,
Or husk it in the fall;
l tell you, boys, that wishing
Won't run q farm at all.
That winter my potatoes
| had to go and buy
Right from my smiling neighbors,
Who had a good supply.
They'd slyly nudge their elbows,
And taunt me with laugh,
That labor's wheat that's golden,
And speculation chaff.
| learned this goodly lesson
And in my heart it seems
One day Of honest labor
Is worth ten years Of dreams.
And now in idly wishing,
My duty ne'er I shirk;
But just roll up my shirt sleeves,
And like a beaver work.

Should the Penal Part of Our
Labor Laws Be Repealed?

MR. EDITOR.-Views regarding
the effect of eliminating the penal
clause of the master and servant Act
of the Hawaiian laws are now solicited.
AS / have lived a number of years
where a master and servant Act was
unknown and several years here where
it is known, [ am of the opinion the
penal part of the law could be elimin-
ated without injury to the planting
interest here, provided the same liber-
al provisions are retained that we now
enjoy for obtaining labOTers.
The penal clause Of the law may
check desertiOn in some cases, but |
find in actual practice that when a
laborer determines to go, he goes and
the law is powerless to prevent him
leaving.
If he is discovered and returned to
his contract service at considerable
cost to his employer, he can and fire.
quentIy does go again in few days.
Japs frequently run away from plan
tatiOns where they are well used to
get away from their debts. Some Of
them gamble and otherwise get into
debt to friends and acquaintance, and
when their creditors become clamOr-
Gus for their money it gets to be such
a bore to find him he runs away to
get rid of them. Some go to find soft
jobs on coffee estates where they pre-
er to labor, or join a company to do job
work clearing coffee or cane land, or
doing contract road work in out Of
the way places. Some leave planta-
lions to escape fancied or real abuse.
I don't think the penal part Of the law
has much to do in keeping them from
deserving at least on Hawaii. There
are only a few comparatively deser-
tiers, the many could go as we'll as the
few, but they are honest men, some
of them able and trusty and honestly
desire to fill their contracts and theydO
fill them. When his contract is worked
out and he wishes to leave he goes
with his head up, with his Cancelled
contract in his pocket an unimpeach-
able witness of his honest work. This
they appreciate. If the penal part OF

Continued from Page i

miCtee to lay the bill on the table was
unanimously adopted.
The item of $500 for extra pay Of
clerk in the Finance Department (AIr
Stacka ble), aroused a little discussion
Rep. McCandless said then when a
clerk in the employ of the Government
walked into the office at 9 a. m and
walked out again at p. m, he should
be willing TO do some extra work with
out any further remuneration than his
salary. He had seen quite a numbr
Of clerks in Government offices walk
ing about and looking at each other
during office hours. Minister Damon
said he was sorry that such objection
should be made. Mr.. Stackable had
done vast amount Of extra work dur
ing the temporary absence Of Mr.. Ash
ley and should receivxe extra remuner-
alton. His work was faithfully per
formed and we'll done. Rep. Achi was
of the opinion that allowing the item
TO pass would be setting a bad prece-
dent. At the next session there would
be remuneration. The item then pass
ed with only two votes in the mega
tive.

This time the bank cashier glanced at

chucked 1t into his wffe's lap. thinking that
1t was a letter from some of the kinsfok

The surprised wife. who had waited all

When she finally managed to call atten-
