The Sick NOn-COm. Wishes to Re
main in the Islands.
Corporal Prather will endeavor, after
recovering his health at the Queens
hospital, to secure a position on a
plantation where the air is dry and
healthy. On account of the severity of
his illness he feels that it will not be
safe for him to risk a colder climate
in some years. In fact, this advice was
given him by attending physicians.
Prather leaves an excellent family
and a superior home, and his case is
quite pathetic one. He took sick here
on his twenty-fourth birthday. At
home he was a wheelman and inter
ested in one branch of the cycle bust
ness. He was also quite an athlete,
and that was the secret of his remark
able recovery. With the second at
tack of spinal meningitis all Of his
friends gave him up, but he hung on
with an almost superhuman determin-
alton and won.
For five years young Prather was a
member and officer of the famous To-
ledO Cadets. When the war broke out
he volunteered and was assigned to
Company K, of the Fourth Infantry.
The captain, noting at once his COM
potency and value, had the young man
appointed corporal. Two Yeeks later
a recommendation went in that he be
appointed sergeant. Before the war
rant could be made out, however,
Prather was invaded here.
