Entered the back dobr of a ppl shop,
nd the sight of the carefully groomed
mn caused momentary panic among a
dozen loafers within. They were re
lieved when they found that all. ne.
W&nted was little Bill, who was next
door.
4 bill was expecting a big brother, but
be didn't know he was going to be
tone o" dem swell guys." However,
be rose to the emergency, invited him
a sit down on . the pnly chair,, and,
ercaing on.a soap 3xx,.told his story.
' Th business man decided -that a
Islt to the father would be advisable.
Sill agreed to go, and together tney
climbed the stairs of the' tenement
through stifling air heavy with gas
and other deadly odors. At the door
they were met by a half-clad brute
who informed them that Bill's mother
had died three weeks before of tuber
culosis. '
Rejected By Father.
"He can't come back here to live!"
growled the brute, pointing to Bill. I
ain't got nothln' to do with him!"
"You're his father, aren'Jt you?" ven
tured the businessman. .
"Naw! I ain't his father."
Utile Bil gasped. "Then, who is?"
"You ain't got no father! You never
had none!"
The business man reached for the
grimy little hand of Bill and through
that (tightened, grip sympathy - flowed
straight to his little heart, and the
Big Brother's friendship was sealed.
"Come on, Bill," he said, "let's go."
The next afternoon Bill went to the
office of his new-found friend to start
things off. Things went along well
and he went out of the office Invited
to dine at a palatial Walklkl residence
the following Thursday.
Little Bill did his best for the oc
casion. His hair was plastered down,
he bad greased his shoes with a pork
rind and had washed out a handker
chief which was spread over his torn
and soiled little shirt front. There
was a strong odor of perfume, which
the banker remarked on much to Bill's
delight
"Gee, ain't It great!" said he. "I got
it at a pake store for five cents,"
A few days later Big Brother fitted
Bill out with a new suit of clothes,
got him a job where he earned $3.50
a week, and helped him to a better
boarding place:
There was trouble. "De kids"
didn't like Bills new togs, and called
him a sissy, thereupon he called out
the gang and cleaned up the malign
ers. So Bill landed In the Juvenile
Court again, but Big Brother under

Then he took Bill for a ride in his

The. movement was introduced info
Honolulu a year and a half ago by
Judge Whitney of the Juvenile court.
The Elks, St Andrew's Brotherhood
and ,Men's League at once became in
terested in it Each of these organi
zations had committees of men who!
had expressed a desire to act as Big
Brothers; John Hughes being chair
man of the Eiks committee, George
Davies of the, St. Andrew's commit
tee, and Spencer Bowen of the Men's
League. The plan was Jto have the
Judge appoint Big Brothers for any
boys who came before bis court whom
he deemed worthy of the help.
Eighteen .Big Brothers.
The movement started with a big
rush in : this city as today there are
about eighteen men acting as Big
Brothers. Nevertheless, even If the
movement has jjKLi out somewhat,
there were at Meast eighteen boys
looked out for and put on the right
track.

RENO, Ne., Sept: 16.--The death:
kneH of the".-Reno rooster will be
$&unded if the city ordinance -which
the opponents of chantlcler have
drawn up and will present to the city
council at Nlt next meeting is passed.
The citizens of Reno who are opposed

and had a. long? "Jk with the boy and
also with . hla i6ss, and in the end
the. boy .got his job back and is in Uic

Hade Hirrf Work.
Tben there w as a boy who was not
yet fourteen years old. He was the
leader, f a- gang ' of toughs at Kalihi.
His family was in a poor : financial
condition and needed the boy's earn
Ings to go toward the support of the
family. But he would not go. to work.
This boy also had a Big Brother, and
as soon as he heard of this he went
out, looked the boy up, got him a
job and literally forced him to go to
work. .
A young Portuguese .boy, apparently-good
for nothing, was up before
the Juvenile Court one day for some
minor offense. The Judge, thinking
that there was some good in the lad,
had a big brother appointed for him.
The big brother secured a position for
the boy, and today he is employed by
one of the larger island firms and is
making good in every way.
All of these instances go to show
the purpose of the movement and th'e
real good it does. If a man believes
that a boy in the open is better than
a boy in jail, he is in-sympathy with
the Big Brothers. If he believes that
a boy unaided cannot overcome the
tendency of unfortunate environment,
or be happy and good without any of
the things that make happiness and
goodness, he concurs in the Big
Brother Platform.
