Washington, Feb. 16.-The agita- tion in favor of the appropriation by congress of $35,000 for John R. Ear ly, the eX-soldier suspected of hay ing leprosy, has disclosed the great interest felt in Early in all parts of the United States. The money is ask ed for Early as remuneration for what he has suffered in consequence of the action of the District of Co., lumbia authorities in branding him as a leper early in 1908. Since that time he has been driven from one community to another and deprived of the opportunity of earning a live lihood for himself, his wife and his two young children. A committee of the Society of Medical Jurisprudence in New York, a leading authority, pronounced Early probably a leper, but the society itself refused to ac- cept the report after lengthy discus sion, thus virtually giving Early a clean bill of health. Early, who served in the Philippines, has spent all of his money in fighting the de- claration that he is afflicted with leprosy. It is asserted that he is sur- fering merely from a skin disease contracted while working in @ pulp mill.

TIE nAoY TURTLE.
He Has to Paddle His Own Canoe
 From tt,e Moment of Birth.


 Just so soon asa baby turtle emerges from the egg off he scuttles down to the sea. He has no one to teach him, no one to guide him. In his curious little brain there is implanted streak of caution based upon the fact that until certain period in his life his armor is soft and no defense against hungry fish, and he at once seeks she1- ter in the tropical profusion of the gulf weed, which holds within it's branching fronds an astonishing abun- dance of marine life. Here the young turtle feeds unmolested while his ar- nor undergoes the hardening process.
 Whatever the young sea turtle eats and wherever he eats it, facts not gen. erally ascertained, one thing is certain it agrees with him immensely. He leads a pleasant sort of life, basking in the tropical sun and cruising leisurely in the cool depths.
 Once he has attained the weight of twenty-five pounds, which usually oc- CUTS within the first year, the turtle is free from all danger. After that no fish or mammal, however ravenous, how ever we'll armed with teeth, interferes with the turtle
 When once he has withdrawn his head from its position of outlook into the folds of his neck between the two shells intending devourers may strug- gle in vain to make an impression upon him.-Harper's Weekly.
