PARENTS Faithful To

Fathers Business Ruined and
Aid Refused by All.

Benton Harbor. Mich.-ln an isolated

the lake shore. Jacob Goldstein died a
day or two ago.
lie was a leper. an outcast. a menace
to mankind, 4 creature to be stunned.
Yet when his spirit left his tortured
body his weeping mother and bis de-
voted father were by his side. He
could not see them. for the disease hat
claimed him had destroyed his eyes.
But caring nothing for any risk they
ran, mother and father were faithful to
the end.
That his sol from some mysterious
cause had developed leprosy caused
the elder Goldstein's financial ruin and
his family's ostracism. lie kept a small
general store I'm suburban Benton Har-
Dor. and he and his family were in
comfortable circumstances when
The whisper. Young Goldstein is a
leper," swelled to a cry that echoed all
over Benton Harbor and far beyond its
limits. Overnight Goldstein's little
business was ruined; former customers
hurried by on the other side of the
street; former friends suddenly forgot
they had ever known the Goldsteins.
Goldstein tried TO provide for his fam
fly by peddling. AS he trudged the
roads the frightened warning went
ahead of him, Here comes the leper's
father!" All doors were closed to him.
The local health authorities asked
the state of Michigan TO care for the
leper. The state refused. There Is
nothing in the health ordinances pro-
viding for such a case. The Univer-
sity of Michigan was ready to furnish
isolated quarters for young Goldstein
so its medical students might observe
the progress of the disease. but Ann
Arbor emphaticalIy refused to admit a
ieper within her confines.
SO the shanty was built in the Sc
cluded spot among the hills near by.
There the parents of the doomed boy
joined him in exile. The most loath-
the most dreaded of all human
Ills, the disease acrursed. could not
drive his parents from the boy. Under
constant surveillance. these three ex-
listed like prisoners in a stockade UNI.

OFFICE VACANT
Patronage Fight at Rapid City Inter
feres with Business.

Washington, April with no re-
ceiver of the general land office at
Rapid City, s. D., business in that
section has been absolutely held up
because of the fact, causing consid-
cradle distress and grumbling.
Congressman Burke of South Da-
kota, is urging action in the interest
of public business. but the democrat
ic administration has not yet decided
upon action.
Politics Is understood to be back
of the failure to make an appoint
ment. The place of receiver was for
merly held by Harry Candy, recently
elected as congressman on the demo-
cratic ticket. 1t is also understood
that Senator-elect +. s. Johnson, also
a democrat, has a candidate in the
person of w. w. Soule, of Rapid City.
while Candy, who resigned from the
office February %, is supporting a
Mr.. Johnson of White Owl. The as
sumption is that Johnson will win
out over Candy, but there has been
so much trouble because of Johnson's
claims to patronage that Candy has
been able to stop the appointment of
Soule up to date.
