When Father Damien died on MolOkai.
about twenty years ago. his mantle fell
upon the shoulders OF an American. who
voluntarily went into exile 10 devote his
life to the care of the lepefs of Hawaii.
This American was Ira B. Dutton. a man
in the early prime of life. sometime sol
der in the United States army, Thir-
teenth Michigan Volunteers, an officer IN
the quartermaster's department and
later in charge OF the Southern war
claims OF Tennessee.
He was handsome. talented. and be-
loved by his friends. but for some reason
his life was not a happy one. On ac-
count Of a faneied shiTking Of duty he
decided 10 select some task which would
require great personal sacrifice. and then
devote the rest OF his existence to it.
For a time he was a novice IN the monas-
terry OF Trappist monks at Gethsemane.
KY, and much OF the medieval austerity
of that quaint institution must have fall
en- into his heart TO direct his after life.
An incident in which he figured gave
James Lane Allen the suggestion for the
well-known short story called ''The White
Cowl-" One day as a young woman was
riding past the monastery her horse slip
ped and fell. frightening her so badly
that she tainted. The future hero of
Molokai witnessed the accident and
promptly rescued the young woman.
Some time after, when Mr.. Allen visited
the place, the affair was mentioned in
his presence, and the weli-known piece
of fiction resulted. "The White Cowl" IS
all fiction except The mere fact that an
terry. The young lady and her rescuer
never met afterward. and neither ever
knew the identity of the other.
When Ira Dutton chose the ascetic life
that a Brother must lead in the service
of the lepers. he renounced the world
forever. donned garments OF plainest
denim. eXiled himself on MoIokai. and
began the revolving task of dressing the
sores Of the afflicted people. To-day he
IS simply known as Brother Joseph"
the name given him when he was baptized
into the Catholic Church. He moves
quietly among the people whose life he
has chosen 10 share. but the whole
world is eager to praise and commend
him for his work

Treasury department in Washington,
finds recreation and amusement IN pok-

furniture stores. While nosing around
in a Georgetown shop a few weeks ago.
he came upon a mahogany desk covered
with dirt and showing the neglect of
years. He scrapped through to the wood
and found it 10 be a remarkably fine bit
Of mahogany, so he took it for SIS. When
he had peeled OF two or three layers of
dirt. and had cleaned up the drawers, he
was amazed to md this description:
Presented to his excellency Andrew
jackson. by his friend, Caleb Pierce"
Mr.. Jordan was delighted. and at once
began an investigation. He found that
the desk was the one which Old Hickory
had used while President Of the United
States. The association of ladies who
take care Of The Hermitage. the old
Jackson home, near Nashville. are nego-
tiating with Mr.. Jordan for the purchase
Of the desk.

WEALTH OF CANADIAN FARMERS
Are at Present Lending Money to ths
Manufacturers.

There is no question that the largest
percentage Of the amount at present
on deposit in Canadian banks (some
$3.50 O,000) is controlled by the agri-
cultural community. This vast amount
is in addition to the large sums en- de-
posit with trust and loan companies
and IN farm mortgages, for it is well
known that in recent years the aggre-
gate of farm mortgages, in Ontario
and Quebec particularly. has been de-
creased The farmers to-day as a
class are not borrowers, but lenders.
This is markedly SO in Ontario.
Turning to the other side Of the
banking returns. it is observed that
current loans and discounts, which
represent the volume OF money en-
ployed in the manifold industries Of
the country. have increased in just
about the same ratio as the deposits.
In other words, the manufact rers
Of the country and those engaged in
other lines Of activity are borrowing
the capital required in their various
enterprises from the farmers.

How the Vision May Be Upset BY
Use Of Two Cards.

When we are looking at anything,
the image Of what we see paints itself
on the retina as It would on the

the opposite operation is made An
image which, through some artifce, is
made to paint itself right side up
on the retina is turned over by the
general upsetting process and appears
to us to be upside down.

holes in contact with your eye, and

this being placed between your eye
