Several years ago We were sue
cessful after considerable soliciting
in insnring a certail gentleman.
His chief objection to insuring was
the fact that there was mortgage
of 5000 against his little home. We
argued that that was the chief rea-
son why he should insure Finally
he rather reluctantly yielded and
was insured for $1,000 His wife
was not very aggressive in urging
him one way or another Three
months after being insured the man
unfortunately died, but fortunately Y
had his life insured The mortgage
and funeral expenses were paid and
with the balance and some needle
work with which the widow was
rather adept she was enabled to
keep her cozy home and To provide
comfort for her two little ones. We
occasionally hear from the widow
and if we were ever sure of genuine
gratitude it is in this case. In her
last letter she writes that had their
little home been sold after working
and saving to own it for "A number
of years aud she probably separated
from her two children it would have
driven her to insanity.
She declares that she would never
have lived on would rather
have died first. All these misfor-
tunes, however, were happily avert
ed by the husbands good judgment
in insurlng "Go and do thou like
wise. ."-Empire State Workman.

The Constitution adopted by the
Grand Lodge in special session last
June will in all probability he re-
turned to the Grand Lodge with the
approval of the Supreme Lodge in
a short time and the advisability OF
having it promulgated at the pres
ent time is a matter which is oc.
cuping the attention of the Grand
Lodge Officers. Considerable ex-
pense would he incurred in pub
fishing the new edition, which is
quite likely to be again amended by
the Grand Lodge at its session OF
May next, thus rendering it incom-
plete. 1t is probable that the
Grand Master Workman will in
struct the Grand Recorder to with
hold.it for the present.

The Uninsured Man

Yes, he died unexpectedly; most
men do. He expected to live to
make provision for his family. He
thought well of the Order as a
means. and intended some time to
Join it; but there was time enough
vet; and besides there was an outlet
for money, the very reason why
the small amount necessary should
have been taken in spite of all else.
But he did and how stood the ac-
count? He left weeping widow
anxiously foreboding the future of
the little ones at her knee. He left
unpaid grocery, clothing and rent
bills that had accumulated in life
He left the doctors bills, of no
value, funeral expenses that must
be met by charity, and many little
bills that Increase even IN a short
sickness. He left naturally good
neighbors that responded to the
emergency, though grumbling in
wardly because he was not insured
and left an unnecessary burden on
them.
He left another striking instance
of the sin and folly of procrastina-
ton. Had he left an empty pocket
book, blank savings bank book,
or even mortgage ON his home,
but in their stead benefit certif-
cate of the Order, the weeping widow
would have said: "How kind, how
thoughtful of me and mine"
His memory in the community
would have been fragrant, for all
would have said: He did what he
could The sorrowing home would
have had streak of light, the dark
cloud a silver lining. The widow
would have taken up her heavy
burden with a lighter heart. The
future of the children would have
been vastly more hopeful. 1t is
possible that any reader may put
off joining the Order and have his
last days panied by narrowing
thoughts for the family. This dead
man did it.--Protector.

A sketch with n Morai.


A visit to one of the government
offices where women are employed
desires to give an exact account OF
what he saw and heard there He
was conducted by the superintend-
ent, an old man of large experience.
The last room inspected was filled
with women at work.
The visitor remarked, "This is a
higher class of women than that
employed at the same work in some
other kinds of business. These
women have been educated, and
have refined faces and voices |
should Judge they are not used to
manual labor Of any kind.
"They are not" was the reply.
sin almost every case they are the
widows or daughters of men whose
income died with them, but who,
while living, gave to their families
luxuries beyond their means.
"That young girl by the window
was in fashionable society in New
York two years ago Her father,
with salary of five thousand dol
lars, lived far beyond his means.
The woman in mourning is the
widow of physician whose income
averaged six thousand dollars He
probably spent eight
"That pale girl is the daughter of
"A master builder who lived comfort
ably among his old friends until he
was seized with political ambition.
He moved into fine house, had his
carriage, servants, and gave balls.
He died and his daughter earns
twelve dollars week on which she
supports her mother There is
hardly woman here who is not
the victim of the vul lgar ambition
which makes family ape its
weaithier neighborS in its outlay"
"That is an ambition not peculiar
to us Americans" said the visitor.
''lt is more common among us,
because in other countries social
position depends upon birth, while
here it is usually fixed by money.
How many families in every class
do you know who are pretending to
a larger pecuniary wealth than they
have?'
The visitor passes on the question
to the reader. - Youths Companion.
Moral-Insure now and protect
home and family.

We have always disapproved of
having cases heard behind "closed
DOORS" The public, through its
representative the Press, is generally
as safe Judge of the merits of
case as are the judge and jury offici-
ating. The arguments in motion
for new trial in recent case where
the defendant was sentenced to i'm
prisonment for five years disclosed
the fact that the jury found the man
guilty on the uncorroborated evil
dence Of an accomplish, and that
the judge refused to instruct the
jury, that such evidence is nadmis-
sable under English and American
law. The trial was held with closed
doors, and it is, Of course, impossi
BILE for the public to form az ~ MON
OF the merits Of the case. The OPINION
has gone abroad, however, that an
error has been made-we do not
mean in regard to the guilt or inno-
cence of the convicted man Il which
we know nothing-but in regard to
the strength Of the evidence, on
which he was condemned 1t j. very
true that the Supreme Court even-
tually will decide whether thu Cir
cult Judge was right or wrong in his
rulings, but with all due respect to
that high tribunal, we think that the
press is the best safeguard Of the
liberty and rights of the people
more especially so in Hawaii.
