Progressive Farmer.
No man ever has a big success
in anything, by accident. Ifsome
body has stuffed your head with
the idea that men succeed in
this world by luck, you may just
put it down that somebody
doesn t know what he is talking
about. Whether you are going to
be q farmer or q college presi.
dent you must fit yourself for
whatever you are going to be.
No matter what sort of work
you are doing, try to do it a lit
tie better than the other fellow.
Emerson says somewhere that il
a man can doanything supreme.

FATHER CANNOT
GIVE HOME To son

Because he had no other place to
stay, no place to sleep and no place
to get anything to eat, except what
he could pick up, little boy named
Kanalii Amoka was sent to the Re-
form school Saturday by Judge Whit
ney.
The boy has father, but he doesn t
seem to count. He says he is too busy
to take care of the child or even to
provide a home for him or to feed him.
The generous parent was called before
the Judge and explained that he works
on one of the inter-island steamers and
therefore has no time to look after his
son. Consequently the child has been
in the habit of sleeping out on the
grass of parks, in odd corners around
the waterfront, in packing cases, wag-
ons, anywhere that he could find to
lie down.
He has obtained his meals-or what
have had to pass with him for meals
in the same way. Occasionally some
waterfront Waterman or sailor would
divide a lunch with him. But his
father is too busy to be bothered with
him. So the boy has to go to the Reform
school. There seems to be no provi.
sion in the Delinquency law by which
the father can be starved to death or
drawn and quartered or hanged.

GIRL LEAVES HOME
FOR SECRET MARRIAGE

Saturday was a lively day for a
japanese father, who went in pursuit
of one of his daughters who had left
home. with no word of where she was
going. It was thought she had run
away with a young japanese. The
father had police officers searched ev-
ervwhere until finally they were re
warded with a sight of the young Japa-
nese man. The irate father was in
mood to do him bodily harm. The
officers, however. took charge Of the
japanese. The father demanded his
daughter. whereupon the Young man
informed him that he and the girl had
been married the night before. The
father said the girl was only sixteen
but the newly wed hubby said the girl
told him she was over eighteen. 1t
is likely that efforts viii be made TO
have the marriage annulled.

INSURANCE REPORT
SHOWS PROSPERITY

If increase in the volume of insur-
ance business done in the Territory is
to be taken as evidence of increased
prosperity and wealth-and it can hard
Iy be disputed that such is the case
then Hawaii can certainly congratulate
herself on the showing made in the an
nual report Of the Insurance Commits
sioner Of the Territory for the fiscal
year ending April IS, 1909, covering
the business Of 1908.
In the three principal lines of insur-
ance-fre, marine and life-the total
amount written during the year 1908
was sd, 234, e35.Sl, against a total for
the preceding year of 500, 1873 ,943 80.
This is an advance for 1905 over 1907
of s. 400, S9243 While part of the
increase may possibly be accounted for
by increased activity on the part of in
surance agents, it is more probable that
most of II may better be accounted for
by the increase III the value of Ha-
wallan property, except in so far, pos
siblv. as the life Insurance is concerned.
During 1905 fire insurance to the
value Of $25,2l4 ,46513 was written;
marine insurance, $37 $50, 400 S.; life
insurance, $l,429,94S. The total
premiums paid on all classes of
insurance. including accident and
health. automobile, burglary. employ
ers' liability. fidelity and surety, and
plate glass. amounted to $719.SO7 .2S ;
renewal premiums on life insurance.
$443,l19.93. Losses, claims. etc. paid
