Wee Patsy jumps up my knee;
She plays with the fringe of my shawl;
Her touches soft as can be;
Then treacherous scratch she gives me
Pins hidden in velvet withal!
But Patsy's kitten you see.
Wee Sue dances up in a wh.rl,
And climbs my welcoming knee;
Her winsome caresSes, they curl
Round my heart-they would capture churl;
She never once Plays false with me
But Sue is dear little girl.

Technically all the insurance compa-
MES in the islands are doing business
today and are liable to
fine. The new insurance law went in
to effect yesterday, and the insurance
companies have not complied with its
provisions as yet. The law provides
that sit shall be unlawful for any COM
pany or corporation to transact the
business of insurance in this Territory
unless it shall have complied with all
of the provisions of this Act and OBJ
tanned the certificate of authority from
the Commissioner as herein provided"
Commissioner Kepoikai has extended
the time of complying with most of the
provisions of the act for one month,
which naturally lets out the insurance
companies and their agencies, where
he is concerned. If Kepoikai hadn't
extended the time until November list,
the insurance companies might have
been fined. They are liable to fine
as it is, but the Insurance Commission
er will hardly proceed against them,
as he has agreed to the extension. The
law provides that eff any insurance
company or corporation, it's agents or
attorneys shall solicit insurance or shall
issuea policy without having complied
with the provisions of this Act, the
company or corporation, or its agents
or attorney so issuing the policy or
accepting the application for the same
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
be subject to a fine of not less than
one hundred dollars or more than
five hundred dollars.
The law provides that companies or
ganized within the Territory shall have
paid UP stock of $4,000 and foreign
companies are required to have a paid
up capital of 100000.
The act provides the following safe
guards which are practically the same
for foreign as for domestic companies:
