GREATNESS.

The roads to greatness are still open.
The avenues to human preferment have
ansver closed; no obstruction is there today
that has not always existed But not
all those who seem to have reached the
summit may be considered truly great
All greatness that lacks the elements of
greatness must be false. The man who
rides over the just rights of others in or
der to secure his own advancement, is
lacking in all that constitutes true great
ness.
Wisdom, zeal, courage, perseverance,
knowledge are some of the traits of char
acter that push one to the front. But above
all things it takes industry to make adj
vancement
We must begin young. Time must not
be wasted. 1t is too precious to these
who expect to succeed. Idleness must
not be tolerated. The men who reach
the top are busy men.
There are idlers in school; as a rule,
they are never heard of beyond the school
rosm. There are street corner loafers
who spend days in whiting boxes and
tie pests; tut who ever heard Of them be
Ing noted fer ANGLING else? They are
people who are fascinated by cards, CT
or baseball or croquet; but there
are few fascinated by their life histo-
~
There viii be great men yet, but they
will be workers God pity the man
who has time to spare; on whose hands
the days drag; who has to invent ways in
which to amuse themselves While they
arr Dong this they will ind rht some
body else has gone on ahead. While
they are idling someone has worked; h;le
they have been but drcnes in til hive,
others have gone out and laboriously gath
cred the sweet stores.

both schools, but whcQ we went to count
the children they were lacking. Not more
than half dozen rvero to be found
in both schools together. We consider
this z ser:3ps sta.e CT affairs. When
children are allowed to remain at home
on Sundays, most Of them perhaps net
having been taught even TIE subject Ct
the lessen, and roam over the fields and
the woods, people may EXPECT to have
them grow up careless about Sunday
School and church work. AS we have
said once before, there IS a responsibility
resting on the parents that they cannot
shirk. You may t7sar It lightly now,
but there will ccme a time when it won't
seem. a light matter Some day parents
really become interested in the eternal
welfare of thir childrn; they then go to
the preacher or to someone else and ask
them to talk to them, and then they (the
parents) realize the truth CT he Scrip
lures, which says: Train up child in
the way that he should go and when he
IS cid he will net depart from it" The
child has been trained and the parent is
trying to get him to depart from his
training; sometimes he does depart from
it. but the risk is too great. Better
train him right and then he will grow
right.
We have given this little lecture, hop
ing that every parent in the community
will read it and accept it in the spirit
in which it is written.

about it. But when you meet one who

HOW TO LIVE CHEAPLY.

Substitute comfort for show. Put con-
venience in the place of fashion. Study
simplicity. Refuse to be beguiled into
a style of living above what is required
BY your position in socity and is justified
bv YOUR resources. Set fashion of SIM
plicity, neatness, prudence and inexpen-
siyeness which others will be glad to fol-
low and thank you for introducing. Teach
yourself to do without a thousand and
one pretty and snowy things which veal
thy people purchase, and pride yourself
on being just as happy without them as
your rich neighbors are with them. Put
so much dignity, sincerity, kindness, vir-
tue and love into your simple and inexpen-
sive home that its members will never miss
the costly fipperies and the snowy adorn-
ments of fashion, and be happier in their
coy and comfortable apartments than
most of cur wealthy neighbors are in their
splendid apartments.

it appeared that the wife had been ad-
judged by the examining physician in
1897, nine years after their marriage,
to have the leprosy and had been sent
to Molokai. But she was one of the
fortunate ones who was found on the re-
examination made last year not to have
the dread disease and was released.
On reaching her old home she found
that her husband had given up any
hope of ever seeing her again and had
married again, and that several chill
dren had been born of the second mar
riage. They had six or seven children
by the first marriage, but these were
all grown up by this time and had
moved away from their father, so there
was not much left to bring them to-
gether again, as the man seemed to be
happy with his new family and did not
care to ask for a separation from his
second wife in order to be able to live
again with wife number one.
So the woman decided to make the
best of bad bargain, and brought suit
for the divorce. The ground of "non-
support" being proved to the satisfac-
ton of the court, the divorce was grant
ed, and the unfortunate libelant al
lowed to resume her single status again,
and the twice.married husband was

bigamy-or something worse.

RUSSIANS IN
|WILEI CAMP
The Recent Arrivals Have Taken
Jobs on the Local
Waterfront.

Fifty fairly comfortable huts, more
pretentious than the original shacks,
now house large number of Russian
immigrants at the Iwilei camp selected
by the Russians when they refused to
go TO plantation work several weeks
ago. The present huts are large and
rather roomy, with shady little porches
extending over the doorways, and di-
minutive lanais are attached to many
of the mating houses in which the
squatters dine.
Last evening the camp was one of
the most orderly places in the city, and
the place resounded with laughter and
music. From the interiors of many
houses came the rays of candle and
lamp light. Others were in darkness,
but the occupants had the door flaps
open, the men smoking and chatting
with the women. The camp presented
an appearances of respectability, and its
population seemed to be happy.
The tinkle of the guitar and the more
ambitious and sonorous strains of the
accordion came from many parts of the
camp, with vocal accompaniment which
evidenced light hearts.
There are several score of people
living in the shaek-village, most of the
men finding employment as stevedores
and day laborers in the teaming depart
ments Of some of the larger local cor
porations.

FOUND HER HUSBAND HAD
MARRIED ANOTHER WOMAN
A Woman Who Is Released From the Leper
Settlement Returns Home Only to
Get Divorce.

LIHUE, June 1.-Two libels for
divorce were heard in the circuit court
last Monday morning, both being I'M
contested, and both were granted by
the court, sufficient grounds being
shown.
The first was the action of Mrs. Mary
Mahailani Laamea against David Laa-
mea, her husband, and it was brought
on the ground of desertion and failure
to provide, which were proved. There
was no contest, as the husband had dis
appeared and was not to be found, the
libel having been advertised for the
statutory period, and the libel was
granted, the custody of the one child
of the marriage being given to the
libelant.
The second libel was that of Mrs.
Malaia Pauahi Manuka against her
"better half" for divorce on the
ground of nonsupport. In this action
the husband has been found and service
made upon him, but he did not appear
to contest it.
He had evidently had some cause to
think himself free to marry again, for
