Searching for Leprosy Cases.

Government officials in our coun-
try who are employed to look out for
leprosy cases certainly earn their
money, for they are constantly going
to the most remote places in the ISL
ands,' said Louis 7. Percival, of Homo
lulu at the Shoreham. "The penalty
for the diease is banishment to the
leper settlement at Molokai, and so
great is the dread of this enforced sep
aration from home and kindred that
people in the first stages of the disease
will be secreted for months rather than
give them over to the officials. know

near his home for three years before
he was found out.
"All suspects are taken to the central
station in Honolulu and examined by
a board of medical experts. If the ver-
dict is that the one examined has the
disease no sort of influence, no social
or political pull. no considerations of
wealth or power can keep the patient
from joining the ranks of the leper
colony. 1t is only by such ironclad
rules that the whole population is in

a Fiiipino's Cuticie Got Him Into
1rouble.
A man was taken to constabulary
headquarters yesterday whose body
was an art gallery. His breast, back
and arms had been rendered completely
antinganting by t0ttooers, working un-
der the skilful guidance of antingant-
ing priests. lie was visiting his nuer-
ida in Manila when arrested.
He was not an unpreposs cssing ma
tive. but he had too many ncri,ninat-
ing documents worked into his cutiOle
to he allowed to roam about IN u wild
state, so he was arrested us a sus-
plclous character. lie gave his name
as Sylvester Gomez. His antiDgant-
ings were above suspicion, MS well as
above price, and had they been worked
on garment, as is customary, he
would have been dcspolled OF II for q
curio.
Over his heart he had worked a con.
ventional figure of an altar. with a
cross superimposed. This, he said. was
an antlnganting. On his right breast
was n human heart, inverted. sur
mounted by u cross with three letters
above Il. When asked what particu-
lar brand of antlnganting this was,
he only grinned the wider. 1t Is be-
licved that all this fantastic design is
the reminder of some vow that he took
during the insurrection. Three more
letters and n cross were tattOoed In
the hollow OF his back. He said that
these were never known to fail to keep
Off diseases, and. indeed, II must be
confessed that he seemed to be an ex.
traordinarily healthy animal.
Then there We're long disarrange-

looked as IL somebody had attempted
to write a lot of seditious newspaper

planned that these would keep or bull

An IInportnnt Victory.

The friends of the road Office I'm the
Department of Agriculture have scored
an important victory in securing in the
Senate an increase OF $4,000 in the
appropriations for road Investigations
and experiments, including the build.
ing of object lesson roads.
This is National aid on n small scale
But 1t Is of great importance from
an educational point of view. Here
tofore the object lesson work has been
conducted in the following manner:
An application is sent in by some ex-
pertinent station or agricultural college
or by road officials or public spirited
citizens of some progressive commun-
ity asking the Government TO cooper.
ate In the building of n short stretch
of road. The Government usually fur
nishes nothing more than an engineer
or an expert to make plans and super
wise the work. Roadmaklng machinery
is usually furnished free of charge by
the manufacturers for the sake of the
advertisement II gives them. The rail
roads also take a hand and transport
the machinery free. The institution or
community making the application has
to foot the bills for labor and mate
rials.
Asong the benefits flowing from
such work are a. that 1t gives an ex-
cellent opportunity TO investigate and
test the various local materials; (2l that
1t gives the people of that locality
lesson In the methods of road building
and In the use Of road materials and
machinery, and 90 that the building of
short piece of road usually leads to
the building OF n large mileage of i'm
proved road in the vicinity. To have
Uncle Sam come into a community and
help build n good road, be It ever so
short seems 20 arouse great popular
interest ard stimulate local effort. 1t
is claimed by those who know most
about the RESULT of the work already
done that in no other direction does
the Government accomplish so much
with so little outlay

The forward look stimulates the for

Charm strikes the sight, but merit
wins the heart.
What women sigh for Is long life
without old age.
A sunny temper glds the edges Of

If men received everything they pray
for they would soon become too lazy
to get out OF each others way.
If young man rings true" he will
not object to the young lady OF his
choice making every inquiry about
him.
If young girl imagines she can de-
eide for herself AS to the kind of man
she wants to marry, and really knows,
she is one in million. Just imagine
being a girl apart from one million
other girls, because she knows 50
much more.
No man Is justified In being misled
by fiattery. 1t matters not how full
some the praise that Is bestowed upon
young man, as soon as he reaches
the privacy of his room and weighs
himself up honestly, he discovers that
some one has lied about him. And he
also knows that he waJ not the liar.

their unwillingness to subordinate
themselves to existing circumstances.

mildness. sharp and unsatisfactory re-

humble husband was present in court.
Mr.. Sweeney tried another innocent
question. when the lady responded
with vindictive fire flashing from her
eyes: "Mr. Lawyer, you needn't think
you can catch me; no, sir. you can't
catch me-" With his most pleasing
smile Mr.. Sweeney responded: mad
am, l haven't the slightest desire TO
catch you, and your husband looks to
me as IL he was sorry he had sue

round the courtroom, the Judge stroked
his mustache to hide smile and the
