FAITHFUL TO
LEPER SON TO THE END
Fathers Business Ruined and
Aid Refused by All.

Benton Harbor, Mich.-In an isolated
shanty, set down in a secluded spot on
the lake shore, Jacob Goldstein died
day or two ago
He was leper, an outcast, menace
to mankind, creature to be stunned.
Yet when his spirit left his tortured
body his weeping mother and his de-
voted father were by his side. He
could not see them, for the disease that
claimed him had destroyed his eyes.
But caring nothing for any risk they
ran, mother and father We're faithful to
the end
That his son from some mysterious
cause had developed leprosy caused
the elder Goldstein's financial ruin and
his family's ostracism. He kept a small
general store in suburban Benton Har-
Dor, and he and his family were in
comfortable circumstances when
The whisper, Young Goldstein is
leper," swelled to cry that echoed all
over Benton Harbor and far beyond it's
limits. Overnight Goldstein's little
business was ruined; former customers
street; former friends suddenly forgot
they had ever known the Goldsteins
Goldstein tried to provide for his fam
lily 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 case. The Univer-
sity Of Michigan was ready to furnish
isolated quarters for young Goldstein
so it's medical students might observe
the progress of the disease, but Ann
Arbor emphatically refused to admit
leper 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-
some, the most dreaded Of all human
ills. the disease accursed. could not
drive his parents from the boy. Under
constant surveillance. these three ex-
listed like prisoners in a stockade until
the merciful end came.

WHO SWALLOWS DICTIONARY?

Question Disturbing Missouri Leeisia
tors-Have Already Lost Three.
Jefferson City, Mo.-The house dis
covered recently that it was struggling
along without dictionary when a res
olution was introduced to buy new
one for use of members.
"I'd like to know what became of
the big dictionary we bought two years
ago." Representative ]. NJ. Bowers
asked.
No member volunteered information
I'D like to know what became of
the dictionary we had four years ago."
Bowers persisted.
Silence.
I'D like to know who took the die
tionary we bought six years ago." he
demanded.
More silence.
"Well, it's getting pretty tough when
they steal dictionary from Missouri
legislature" remarked the gentleman
from Wayne.
Whereupon the house bought anoth-

WIRE NETTING ON PALACE.
Royal London Home Protected From
Aerial Attack.


London.-The north wing of Buck
ingham palace is now being covered
with Il wire netting about twenty feet
above the roof. This is the wing con-
tanning the living apartments of the
royal family.
Additional anti-air craft guns have
been placed in the neighborhood of the
palace, one having been set up in the
center of Green park in the last week.
If a Zeppelin should be seen hover
ing over the palace there are at least
a half dozen guns which would open
fire upon It,
Additional preparations are being
made almost every day to fight air.
ships over London.
While many of the art treasures in
the museums have been removed to
places of greater safety. there have
been vigorous complaints in some news
papers that valuable pictures, sculp-
lures or objects Of art should still re-
main exposed to the possibility of
aerial attack on the galleries.

Of those who are willing to defend their
country, but Of those who can de-
fend It,
Those who are behind the organiza-
ton are not imbued with the spirit of
militarism. They agree with those
who say that at word from the pres
ident of the United States millions Of
men would swarm to the colors and
that it is not necessary in time Of
peace that this country maintain a
great standing army such as one as
sociates with the word militarism. No
military training in time Of peace is
involved, no increase in standing army,
navy or militia, but there is contem-
plated taking stock of resources so
that in time of war the government
would be able to lay its hand immedi-
ately upon those who would be best
qualified to cope with the emergency.
There will be two active branches of
the legion. The line of the legion will
be composed exclusively Of men who
have had army or navy service or who
can handle high power rifle and are
seasoned in taking care Of themselves
in the open.
1t is fact not generally known per-
haps that the United States army and
navy keep no account of the thousands
of men who are annually dropped from
the service, either by resignation or by
expiration Of term Of enlistment. They
simply melt away into the great body
of the population.
1t is of course generally known that
in this country no data are kept of the
activities Of citizens that would enable
the government in time Of war to pick
out at once the man or body of men
especially adapted for a particular serv-
| ice The selection Is made after the
man enlists and his professed quail
fications are discovered only by ac-
tual trial Of his abilities in the service
of his country.
The American legion proposes to do
beforehand just what the government
| would have to do after it had enlisted
a great volunteer army and navy.
Men who have been trained as soldiers
or sailors will be classified in detailed
records as to physique, education. char
acter Of training and length Of service.
Men Of special training in other fields
will be classified in the same way and
every applicant for membership will
be carefully questioned and the nature
of his qualifications thoroughly invest
gated.

WooDPEcKER RoBs A TOWN.
Causes Short Circuit Resulting In Ex-
cessive Mater Bill

Ilwaco, Wash.-A woodpecker is
blamed for large additions to Ilwaco's
bill for pumping city water.
The contract for filling the municipal
reservoir is let to power company
and an electric indicator notifies the
engineer when the required depth of
water has been provided.
For some months the bill has been
regarded as excessive and the number
Of hours required daily to fill the basin
has varied to marked degree.
Investigation has placed the blame
on an innocent woodpecker which
chose one wire for perch and with
its tail touching the other wire made
a short circuit so that the engineers
signal to stop pumping was controlled
by the woodpecker's rest rather than
the depth of water provided.

SAVES WOMAN FROM BULL.

Boulder, Colo.-The presence of mind
and prompt action of Larry Fox. Il
motorman of Denver and Interurban
car out of Boulder, saved Edith Fair
from death or serious injury.
Wearing a red sweater Miss Fair,
who is housemaid at the home of
Frank Anderson, on the eastern limits
of the city, started for the junction to
intercept the car to Denver While
hurlying across y vacant lot she heard
the believing OF Il big bull.
One glance was sufficient to warn
Miss Fair that she was the object of
attraction of the maddened ANIMAL
The terrified woman fed toward the
railway track with the enraged beast
not more than fifty yards behind her.
The interurban car at this moment
shot around the curve. but short
distance away. Motorman Fox was
quick to see the young woman's dam
ger, and after turning off the current
and applying the brakes jumped from
the vestibule. seized her by the wrist
and lifted her to the car almost at the
same instant the animal brushed
against the coach.
Miss Fair. who had tainted when the
eXc1tment was over, was soon revived,
but postponed her trip to Denver.
August Harding. the owner of the
bull, says he has never known the
animal to act unruly before. and at
tributes it's antics to the red sweater
Miss Fair was wearing.

Mlitarism Aroused.
New York.-The first definite step
toward the establishment of a military
and naval reserve for national defense
has been taken in the formation of the
American legion, an organization which
makes its bow to the people of this
country with the enthusiastic indorse-
ment of former President Theodore
Roosevelt and Major General Leonard
Wood.
Its plans and purposes have been
worked out at Governors island under
the guidance of Captain Gordon John
ston of General Woods staff and Com
mander Robert X Crank of the United
States navy. There it's headquarters
are temporarily located, and from there
will come presently an announcement
of the names of those who are to serve
as members Of the executive commit
tee and board of honorary advisers.
Colonel Roosevelt has already accepted
the Craftsmanship Of the latter body.
1t is the answer Of patriotic and prac-
teal men to the agitation which has
been going on ever since the outbreak
of the European war called attention
to the fact that the United States is
not prepared to defend itself.
1t is the purpose of this organization
not only to enroll the fighting men of
the country, the men who have seen
service as soldiers or sailors, but also
to enroll the men who have special
training in any one Of the half hun
dred callings which under the condi-
tions Of modern warfare are as essen
tial to success as are military and
naval equipment. The membership of
this organization is to be made up not
