FEARED PAUPER'S LIFE
John William Campbell Dies at San
Francisco-Leaves$ 37, 900

The following clipping from the San
Francisco Examiner of March 16,
which of itself is interesting, may be
of value to people in this vicinity by
the name of Campbell:
John William Campbell. a native of
New Brunswick. who came to Cali
fornia in the early sos, was obsessed
all his life with the fear that he would
become a pauper in his old age and
be forced to suffer all the misery at
tendant upon such a condition.
ITO avert this he lived with the
most scrupulous economy all his life.
Then when he was unable to work
longer at his trade as a cabinet max
err, because of old age and i'll health,
he gave up the s1.75 week room
which he had occupied in a Japanese
rooming-house and applied for adj
mission to the County Relief Home.
He died in the Relief Home last
Thursday. He was 10 years old. Before
his death he requested that bundle of
documents be handed to Attorneys
O'Gara and De Martini. This was done
and they found deposits Of $4,000 in
local banks in addition to some real
estate valued at $1,000.
There was a will in which he be-
queathed the estate equally to two
brothers, Edward and Thomas Camp
bell. He did not know the whereabouts
Of these two, having not heard from
them for many years.
In case neither brother nor any of
their children can be found the es-
ftate is to be, given to the Archbishop
Of San Francisco for the benefit of the
Catholic church.
Adam Probst, a lifelong friend, is
named in the will as executor of the

a flock of doves recently on Grove

in the habit of furnishing bread

threw out several small pieces of

very funny antics for few moments,
the birds rubbing their beaks and do

tasty morsels, wearing very 'disgusted

est. Patrick's color was blue, not
green" Lady Aberdeen said a few
nights ago at a reception given for
her at the Catholic Social Centre in
Chicago. Her audience gasped bit.
"Come here" she said, and Lord
Aberdeen climbed upon the stage. A
gorgeous decoration, a star set in
ta,;o,s ,,,,rv from his neck few
inches below his collar. Lady Aber-
deem pushed aside his necktie (Which
undoubtedly was poplin) and there
appeared a pale blue ribbon from
which hung the star.
'frm supposed to be the dummy on
this occasion and so of course l
should not talk" said Lord Aber-
deem, "but this ribbon is st. Patrick's
blue. The star shows l am a knight
of st. Patrick and it is always hung
from a ribbon of this shade of blue"
The first flag of Ireland, the flag of
Leinster, was blue not green. Maybe
this influenced St. Patrick in his
choice Of color. At any rate blue.
not green, is the color that goes with
his decoration.
Lady Aberdeen is in this country
now in the interest of the WOman's
National Health Association of Ire
land. which, owing to the war, is in
straits for funds. Founded by her in
1907 to combat the ravages Of tuber-
culosis, it was soon seen that it in
volved general propaganda of health
and so it became a campaign for good
housing, children's play grounds, pure
milk, etc.
1--WE have accomplished two great
things" said Lady Aberdeen. 1--WE
have opened the windows all over
Ireland, and we have taken the tea
pot off the stove!"
In the tuberculosis work alone the
value of the association is shown by a
decrease in deaths from the great
white plague by nearly three thou
sand in seven years.
The work is now at a standstill Ow-
ing to the war Many of the chill

the work provided another $4,000 is
raised and it is to raise this other

after we were fighting with another

come to more modern times, in 1887,
when there was great scare of war
between France and Germany, our
press and our public men were saying
that Germany would be quite justified
if it marched its troops through Bel
