said America Massey. an ex-slave re-
siding with George Laswell. corner
Minnesota street and Churchman
avenue, in explaining the condition
of his wife, whose skin for the third
time in her life Of So years has
turned from black to white.
The first sixteen years Of her life
were spent In slavery as house.
maid, and as she can remember moth
ing about her parents she does not
attempt to explain the mystery,
which has baffled every one who has
seen her. IS well as numerous ply
sicians who have examined her.
Having completed the third trans
formation, Mrs. Massey is now of a
fair complexion. Her skin Is not
light in patches. but Is completely
white, with the exception of three
small brown spots on the right side
of her face and ono on the left. A
tint of pink on each cheek adds bit
Ct color to her appearance. and the
curly hair, which is gray only In
patches, brings additional contrast.
When working about the house she
rolls her sleeves, showing arms whit
or than would be expected on wo-
man with a fair skin.
For the last twelve years Mrs.
Massey says the transformation has
been in process. and as the change
has been completed for SO long she Is
rather expecting the reverse per.
Torrance to begin before many
months. She has as vet noticed
none of the more marked sensations
Experienced in former changes. The
only things that have caused her tt
believe a transformation is due are
the appearance of the small spot,
on her face. and the fact that she has
remained white longer than usua
this time.

FROM OUR
CORRESPONDENTS
AUKUM.

Dan. GA little more than a month
has elapsed since l wrote of the death
OF Mrs Isaac McClary, little dream
ing that her husband was so soon to
follow her. Isaac McClary died at
his residence in Oleta on Friday
night last. just month from the
time of his wife's death.
With the passing of this old pio-
neer, passes away a man linked by
consanguinity to some of the great
men of this nation. Mr. McClary
was modest and unassuming, never
venturing voluntary recital of the
history of his lineage, and which he
could trace into the jungles of the
early settling of America. His grand
parents we're born in New Hampshire,
and took leading part in-the wars
of the Revolution. Through his
grand parents he is related to John
Adams, second president OF the
United States, and to John Quincy
Adams, sixth president. lie is also
related to General Starks of revolu-
tionary fame. lie himself was born
in Nilestown, Middlesex county,
Ontario, Canada, his father having
gone there from Pennsylvania, where
he was engaged IN numbering. He
lost his fortune there through re-
verses occurring in the war between
England and America in 1912. Isaac
McClary has one brother living in
Canada, who is worth $50, 900, 900. He
is large manufacturer, and employs
constantly 1000 men or more. 1t will
be seen of the foregoing connection
that Isaac McClary modest and I'M
assuming as he was, nevertheless, is
linked by consanguinity to some of
the early founders of this country.
At his death he was 81 years months |
and "a days old. No venom ever
escaped his lips to mar or burn into |
the heart of any mortal man. He was
one of the very few of whom it could
be said, che had no enemies" When |
his faithful wife died it was the
stroke that broke the ''camel's back.
He pined away, sickened and died.
He leaves a married daughter, Mrs j.
J. Connolly of San Francisco and |
lrve McClary of Oleta, besides host
OF distant relations Giddy Dick.
