/ been secured, for O new supply, giving
! the formula for it's compromising. But
when he received it the new supply
would not work, a fact which he was
finally constrained to believe was due
to the fact that the original compound
must have contained some unknown
adulteration in which the magic quail
ity lay,
Or" j. Lor Wallach claims to have
cured 1eprosy, and he swore on the
witness stand that his compound was
composed of olive oil and tar. The real
doctors say that this won't cure lepro-
sy. Now If Or" Walach really has
cured leprosy, may not the explanation
be something similar to that of the
DR.. Jekyll compound-its efficiency
was due to some unknown adulterant
in the ingredients. For instance, may
be the olive oil was adulterated with
cotton-seed oil, or the tar with coal
tar; who knows?

Curtis conided to me the other day
that he wanted portrait of the for
mer sheriff, Arthur Brown but ne
hesitated to ask him for it, Sheriff
Iaukea, in fact, would like to have the
portrait of all the sheriffs and marshals
who have preceded him Che can supply
his own picture) to decorate the wall
of his sanctum at the police station.
It's a good idea, too, when you come to
think of the historical value of such a
collection and especially when you
come to look at the pictures themselves.
They have all been handsome men, the
gentlemen who have graced the shrie-
valty, and Curtis is also a good-looler.
Brown was often referred to as Arthur
Adonis.
Iaukea has been making some changes
in the Office he now so gracefully oc-
cupies. Whereas Brown used to sit
with the daylight over his left shoulder
Iaukea has shifted the roll-top with
it's back to the window, pulled down
the blinds and turned on the electric
light. He says the glare of the day
light hurts his eyes, and, to tell the
unvarnished truth, there is a nasty
glare through the upper lights most of
the day.
A sheriff's office should be comfort
able. Comfort is conducive to reflec-
ton and, what with Supervisors super
vising, gamblers gambling, Detectives
detecting, the humane officer humaning,
reporters reporting and the reformers
reforming, Iaukea and my other friend,
Chief Taylor, often find it necessary
to get in behind the green shades
with the gentle fringe, Taylor with his
cigar and his new puttees and Iaukea
with his pipe to discuss the behavior
of the dear public all the way from
elite card games to the trimming of
, wicks in the red-light district.
When Brown left office he willed to
a Iaukea a painting depicting Hawaiian
heroes mounting guard on windward
