fgious welfare Of the dying. The ntue
girls In Molokai, who have been Torn
from their homes In Honolulu and otn-

nuns, and have found much solace In
the presence Of the heroic American
women, who have gone to the colony as
to a living tomb. II there ever were
heroes and heroines In this world those
Americans at Molokai are heroic.
II was the first white person, ex-
cept Father Drake, who had preached
In the little chapel at Molokai. When
il became known in the colony that
the strange white man was going to
preach in the chapel, nearly every
leper in the place who could get about
came Immediately on the ringing Of
the bell. The physician who accom-
panied me had the windows and doors
OF the little wooden structure opened
wide, so that there might be fresh air
in the meeting. He also advised me to
handle nothing in the church, and to
touch no one there.
Il never felt so sad as when these
$50 afflicted men, women and children
entered the chapel. Among them were
several Americans who had lived In
Honolulu and had contracted leprosy
among the natives. They came In limp
ing on crutches and canes. There
were, too, few Englishmen who hob

had been q rich rice grower In the

He said he wanted to tell the Ameri-

outside world come to see them. and
that the event would never be forgot

as life remained. He broke into tears

gulches and canyons. no one could get
away from Molokai.
An Awful Picture
The territory occupied by the lepers
contains about 1900 acres. It lies In
a little valley, wen watered and pro-
tected by mountains from the winds
Of the great ocean. Oranges, lemons
and bananas grow Wild. The chief
product Is rice. The lepers are cared
for at the expense OF Hawaii. There
are now nearly 600 lepers in the colony.
A few OF them have been there for
twenty-five years, but most Of them
have been transported TO Molokai In
the last ten years. The lepers know
there Is absolutely no hope for them
to leave the leper colony and that the
joys OF home are forever denied them.
THE very air In the colony SANS
heavy with leprosy, for there Is q pecu-
liar sweetish odor wherever one goes
among the homes In Molokai. As !
went past the hospital, the odor Of
the seventy or eighty lepers who lay
on cots in the dooryard. or who sat
idly about the broad porch, was dis
tressing. met the Rev. Father Drake,
who voluntarily went to Molokai from
Syracuse, N. Y, TO take the place Of
Father Damien, who, himself q vigor-
Gus young man, went to live In Molokai
to work among the lepers until death
released him from the inevitable years
Of pain and disease.
Father Drake told me that he had

Pathetic Boy and Girl Lepers.
The little girls and boys who cana
to hear me preach were the most pa
thetic Of all. A few were attractive In
spite Of their sad, pinched and fearful
faces. A few children were as young
as ten years, and about twenty were
between fourteen and eighteen years.
One little girl. the child Of parents
from San Francisco, who had been
born In Honolulu. was carried to a
bench. She had lost both her feet
and several fingers. She had been In
the colony for four years, and the nuns
said she went to sleep every night
weeping and longing for her father and
mother. Another Hawaiian girl of
fourteen had lost one hand and an ear.
Her remaining hand was so weak that

Il Is, In fact, an unwritten law o.
the Samoans that a bride shall share
the fate Of the husband IL he contracts
leprosy-that she shall go with him to
he leper colony and there, without
hope, await the approach Of this hor-
rible, lingering death. The young
bride, with the pathos Of despair on

An Unlucky Find.

Some time ago an Austrian peasant,
who was cleaning an old picture for his
aunt found $1,000 forms in paper
money In It He claimed the usual 10
per cent as reward and got 1t. There
were two aunts and as each claimed
inc picture as her own an expensive
lawsuit resulted. Finally the sisters
decided to go halves. but when the
oank notes were examined they were
found null and void, the governments
term for redeeming them having ex-
pired. The peasant refused to return
the 5000 forms which hei received In
current money. wherefore his aunts
nave now sued him.-Exchange.
