HUMOR OF The DAY
Hire Education.

What is college, papaT
"a college, Pauline, is a cross be-
tween a country club and an orphan
asylum
Then why do such nice boys go
there, papa?"
Because rich boys from sixteen to
twenty are too old to be spanked and
not old enough to reason"
do they learn to reason in cOllege?"
Not if the reverend professors can
help it, daughter"
'"Then why do they goT'
"They go to be got rid of, because
they would misbehave at home"
Don't they misbehave at college.

We'll, yes, but their parents don't
know about it unless they go to the
football games or read the police re-
ports"
But don't their parents teach them
morals, papa?'
NAY, nay, Pauline; it's cheaper to
get it done by hired professors"
"Do the professors know all about
morals?"
Not at all. my dear, but they know
exactly what parents expect them to
say"

COL. PETER LEES
VOLCANO HOUSE

Colonel Peter Lee. of Kuristown,
Hawaii is again forward with his
plan for a new hotel at the Volcano
He has revised his old prospectus
and will make the start of floating
the proposition both here and at Hilo.
It appears that Mr.. Lee has secured
a 21-year laese of 4 80 acres of land
from the Bishop estate on the volcano
road at 20 IL miles, close to the new
volcano road and one and half miles
nearer the volcano than the present
hotel. A carriage road will connect
the hotel with the crater, the ride
being only from five to seven min
utes.
The proposal is to have the new
hotel open not later than July I, 1911.
The stock of the corporation will be
$4,000, with privilege Of increasing
to $4,000, This is a modest amount
but Mr.. Lee accounts for the fact
in the very low ground rental 10 be
paid Mr.. Lee would be the man
ager of the new hotel at a salary
of 500 a month and living expenses.
One of the most important an.
nouncements made in the prospectus
is as follows Judging by past eX-
perience I know l can cut the rates
now charged for similar accomoda.
tions in half, and stll make money"
This is refreshing, and suggests that
somebody must have been making a
lot of money out of volcano business
in the past, Mr. Lee also calls atten-
ton to the proposed extension of the
railroad from Glenwood which will
Ipass near his hotel

SIERRA BRINGS
NOTABLE PEOPLE

The Oceanic Steamship Company's
steamer Sierra arrived in port early
this forenoon from San Francisco hav-
ing made the run across the Pacific in
five days seventeen hours thirty-four
minutes. The liner left Frisco two
and half hours behind time, but not
withstanding this she arrived on sche-
dule time and berthed at the COM
pany's wharf, after being boarded by
Drs. Raymond and Collins, shortly
after eight a. m. For the first twenty
four hours after leaving San Frncisco
the Sierra was in a strong north
westerly gale with heavy sea running
but the ship behaved beautifully.
There were $50 passengers in the sa-
loon, and twenty in the steerage. The
vessel had on board 21OO tons of cargo
and 140 sacks of mail matter. Includ-
ed in the cargo were eight automobiles
one horse, four monkeys and a pedi-
greed under shot bull dog, which latter
has been shipped through Wells Far
go Express consigned to Mr.. Williams
The dog is a valuable one, being listed
at from $3.50 to $500.
Among the passengers were many
who have their residence in Honolulu
and others who are making the trip
here for the first time. Captain NJ. M.
Johnson and Victor Hurd, WHO have
been on a trip to the states, returned
bringing brides with them, and both
will make their home in the islands
for some time to come. They will re-
| ceive the hearty congratulations OF
their many friends in the islands.
The members of the Hawaiian Rife
team which went to Ohio to compete
in the National shooting competitions
returned by the Sierra, after having
done very well indeed at the butts
The list of the members of the team
who returned is Major W. r. Riley and
