FOR RETIREMENT
OF JACK ASHORE
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SEA-
MEMS INSTITUTE, AND WHAT IT
HAS ACCOMPLISHED HERE.

The Honolulu Seamens Institute VIII
hold its annual meeting at the Y. NJ. c
A. next Thursday evening at o'clock,
Governor Dole will preside. The Spe-
cial object of the meeting is to present
to the public the work and claims of
this benevolence. 1t is conducted by
the Mission to Seamen which conducts
similar institutions at San Francisco,
Port Costa and other places, but is
supported locally. The Institute is To-
Gated at the corner of Queen and Nuu-
anu streets. 1t is in charge of F. W.
H. Everton, a member of the staff of
the Mission to Seamen, and is under
! the direction of a committee of which
7. Give Davies is the chairman, d. w.
! Anderson, secretary, H. w. M. Mist,
/ treasurer, and p. H. Dodge, j. P. Cooke
and H. A. Isenberg are members.
The Institute completed it's first year
of work June 80, and at the annual
! meeting completed reports of this work,
of the money received and expended to
carry it on, and of the needs of the in
stitution will be made. The program
will include an address by the Rev.
i William Morris Kincaid, several musi-
J cal numbers by Mrs. Annis- Montague
Turner a ladies violin quartette and a
quartette of male voices. The work of
the Institute has been cramped by hav-
ing only one room. The committee is
anxious to increase the income so that
the work of the Institute can be en-
larged. They think they ought to be
able to accomplish this by the showing
they can make of appreciation by sail
ors. During the existence of the Insti-
tute there have been $4,000 in attend
ance. Crews of ships have voluntarily
contributed amounts aggregating S170
The number of subscribers to the funds
for the maintenance of the Institute is
small. The place has depended very
largely on the contributions from the
six principal shipping firms, with oc-
casional contributions from other sour
ces. The committee having the work
in charge want to increase the income
by $500 so as to be able to enlarge the
quarters and extend the work.
A very cordial invitation is extended
to the public to attend this meeting so
that they may know exactly what has
been done.

MoNoCAcY SOLD TO JAPANESE.

~
Associated Press Morning Service
TAKU, October 3.-The United States
sidewheel gunboat Monocacy has been
sold to a Japanese merchant for SILL
900.
"Monocacy" is one of the famous
names of the United States navy. The
vessel now sold was named after the
celebrated Monocacy of the war of 1872
She is a double-ended, side-wheel craft,
was built in Baltimore and because of
her light draft-nine feet-was soon
sent. to the Asiatic station, where she
arrived in 1865. For months at a time
the old ship lay off Tien-tsin and by
the aid of each spring freshet made her
way back to the sea over the changing
channels and through the soft mud of
Pei-ho only to fee" her way back
later in the year. when the waters had
once more determined their way.
With battery of four smoot-bore
and two rifled muzzle leaders, the old
Monocacy is not today a very formid-
able craft, but in 1871, in the two days
fight against the defenses of Boisee, on
the Salee river, in Corea, she led the
procession which drove the Corean
commanding general from his batteries
and with her old guns tumbled the
walls about their defenders ears, and
made the broad breaches through
which the Yankee sailors fought
hand-t -hand fight to victory. This
action gave Monocacy a great reputa-
ton with the Orientals.
/ Misfortune caome to her in 1872, for
in that year she stuck fast in the mud
of the Yangtse kiang river. Her days
of terrifying pirates and of carrying
dispatches were over-for twenty eight
years. She was left deserted by the
( Government and untouched by native
vandalism, until in July 1900, she was
pulled out of the mud to be made ready
] for service against the Boxers She
was fitted up with platforms fore and

not lose sight of other things which
are necessary to make life happy and
contented, and which means complete
success. e
Do your duty. Stay within the
sphere to which you are adapted, have
character, and while you should al
ways strive to something better and
higher, don't forget that discomfort
knocks on the door of those who have
their ideal too high.
A working man who has family,
and who has by economy and indus
try acquired his own home, is good
husband and father has provided for
rainy days and still tries to better his
conditions, is a very successful man.
1t is an open secret that some men
have gained high positions by schem-
ing or other dishonest means, and it
is also known that they are not fit for
the place they are occupying. If we
all would be thigh spirit" horses, we
soon would not have the faithful draft
horse which performs its duty, day
after day from morning till night.
The success of a man does not mean
to be great, or known all over the
world; and the man who knows that
he never will get high up, must look
for other avenues to brighten up the
daily life; and there are many ave-
nues Empty your pocketbook into
your brain and acquire useful knowl-
edge, or study and cultivate your mind
or acquire knowledge of nature. Re-
member Goethes saying: much am
bition is a deadly poison and the old
Romans saying: "Have sound mind
in sound body" ought to be one OF
the main principles of every man.
Live, strive within YOUR sphere, try
to be happy and content, learn to I'M
derstand the beauties of nature, art,
music, and do not be the slave of only
one principle. L. ENGELMANN.

WHAT Is SUGGEST

Editor The Ranch l have just fin
ished reading Carnegies book, THE
Empire of Business" and compared
the same with other noted and sue
cessful business and professional men.
Every author advises the reader to
follow a certain path and he (the read
err will surely reach the land of gold
or fame.
We will mention a few points which
those noted authors tell us to bear al
ways in mind: Economy, temperance,
let gambling and speculation alone,
never misuse your credit, concentra-
ton of your mind, be Industrious and
regular in your habits, make yourself
indispensable to your employer, be pa
tient and stick to your point.
l wish my reader would go over all
these points carefully and then look
around your acquaintance and find
someone to whom you could apply all
these good qualities and still he don't
derstood. Why? The simplest an
SWer would be: he has not the
stuff in him. l wish to add that in
order to make a great success of life
two more essential points are needed:
Character and the old Greek saying
"Knoy yourself"
To illustrate this by an example, l
know a bank cashier who has all the
needed requirements prescribed to
make a success, he is further an emf
nent, careful and trustworthy worker,
and still he never will be the head of
the bank. Why? because he has not
got the stuff for it; or with other
words, he lacks executive qualities, he
lacks the long head, he lacks the
nerve, all these are essential to be a
good, successful bank president, also
perhaps he would make only fairly
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-01-15

case. Furthermore, the careful stu
dent of biography will find one factor,
which stands out prominently in his
tory, that certain noted men who, in
their early manhood have been driven
by circumstances to follow a line of
profession, for which they were not fit
ted, did not make any success.
| remind my reader of Darwin,
Flegel, Stanley, Andre and others, the
famous painter Defregger could make
fine pencil drawing at the age of
fifteen, when he was herding cows up
in the mountains, and at that time he
hardly could write his own name.
This all goes to show that young
man must first find out to what par
ticular line he is especially adapted
Know yourself!
Again, | ask my reader, does sue
cess mean anything high? l say no,
and will illustrate this with two ex-
amples.
I know a president of a large fac
tory. He started as a porter; well, he
is called a successful man, true in one
sense of the word and yet, not quite
correct, because he still wants some
thing higher; he wants more power
This makes him discontinued, and his
family life is very unhappy. He makes
a success in his business, but not as
man.
To show another picture l know
well-to-do country doctc~. starting
life as a poor boy. During his life
time he gained the reputation as a
very careful and skilled physician, he
gained the reputation as man OF
character, as man of fine qualities,
his family life is happy. The world
does not know him, but he is full
success, as successful physician and
successful man, and I would rather
be the doctor than the president.
In striving to gain success we must

good bookkeeper. To win success in
business life man must have the abil-
ity to grasp situations quick, to see
in the future, he must have the ability
to make disposition, he must have a
automatically trained mind.
The question would arise, can we
not train our mind to possess the quail
tiles? Yes, to a certain extent, but let
me remind you a Raphael, a Darwin,
a Shakespeare, a Hockey, Hindall,
a Dante a Goethe, Carnegie, Nor
gan, are born.
The question is: Of what consists
a success of life; to be a bank presi-
dent. or a manager of large concern,
or a Judge of a superior court, or
something else very high and great? l
say no. A shoemaker who can make
shoe, that fits you well and is neatly
done, lisa successful shoemaker l say
this much: Do your duties and do
them we'll, is over half the success of
life.
The books of all these noted authors
are in a certain way misleading, they
create for certain persons disappoint-
ments and bring much grief to many.
The authors are looking down to the
world as an eagle does, way high up
from the blue sky; oh, they say: 1t is
easy, learn to fly, and then you get
up. Many authors don't let us see
behind the curtains, they forget the
very essential facts that made them
great. l often wonder and ask myself
- following question: Would Napol-
con have made famous physician, or
would Mendelsso..n have made a IA
nous general, or would Hayden have
made a famous statesman, or would
Schiller have made successful bust
ness man, Anybody who has studied
history carefully, has studied the char
acter of above named men, will agree
with me, that such would not be the
