HERMIT SCULPTOR is FOUND
Spends Time Modelling Little Master
pieces Which He Promptly De-
stroys Upon Completion.

There has been discovered at Cape
Scott, one of the most solitary points
In Vancouver island, by the chief en-
gineer of the public works department
of British Columbia, sculptor who
spends his time in modelling little mas
terpieces from Jumps of clay and then
destroying them, relates an exchange.
He is A. F. Whittier, and he calls
himself ''prospector." Living entire
ly alone, he has for the past two years
been carrying out lonely Investigations
Of mineral claims in his neighborhood.
His sculptor's tools are of the simplest
kind, and 1t is his habit to work with
the same piece of clay. which weighs
scarcely five pounds, but with that he
has modelled scores of objects.
The government engineer found him
just as he had completed bust of the
martyred British nurse, Edith Cavell.
Mr.. Whittier was about to destroy the
work In order that he might use the
clay for a miniature statue of his son,
who was recently killed. He was, how
ever, persuaded to part with the bust,
which is to be auctioned in aid Of the
Red Cross funds.

New York.-Charles M. Murphy, re-
tired member of the New York po-
lice force, figured In five accidents dur
Ing the last 16 months he was on duty,
any one OF which would have been
sufficient to kill an ordinary man. He
rounded out his active career as a
patrolman while on his way to the
office to turn in his badge by falling
nnd fracturing his knee cap. Now
he is bit curious to know just why
all these misfortunes have befallen
him and why he Is alive to recount his
experiences.
Murphy is little known as a police
man. In the days of his youth, 20
or more years ago, he was the speeds
est bicycle rider in the world.
First Mishap at Three Years.
When Murphy was three years of
age a fire broke out in the Murphy
home in Brooklyn. In a panicky rush
to call for assistance, his mother
dropped Charles in the flames. He was
scorched, no more. At ten he was rem
dered unconscious while coasting.
When Murphy was eleven the family
horse was killed in a runaway and the
family scattered about the street.
Charles suffered only scratches. At
fourteen he crashed into an iron post
while running from the "cops" and was
rendered unconscious. When he was
eighteen Murphy was driving a spir-
tied horse that ran away at the sound
Of a fire alarm. He was dragged 90
yards and was shaken up.
During that same year an engineer
was stunned by a stone thrown by a
boy. Murphy raced the engine, mount
ed the cabin and shut off the throttle.

When twenty-seven, Murphy was
rendered unconscious while racing at
Manhattan Beach. Next morning the
doctor found him working out on the
track. In 1899, when he was twenty
nine years Of age, he won the cogno-
men "Mlle-a-Minute" Murphy. In 1901
he was appointed a member of the New
York police force. The next year Muir
ply and his brother built tandem
bicycle driven by a steam engine and
hoped to speed three miles a minute.
The engine broke loose, fell on Charles,
and came near killing him. In 1903
he started a fight with 10 gangsters
arrival of reserves. In 1905, while
chasing thief, he jumped down 20
foot embankment, suffering a sprained
ankle.
In 1905 he formed the bottom link
in 20-foot human chain which res
cued man who had fallen in a well
and was neck deep in Quicksand. In
1913 he arrested II foreigners at a
clip and stopped runaway by chok-
ing bridleless horse into submission.
Things were dull for Murphy until
September 10, 1915, when he was ap-
pointed motorcycle policeman. He
was run over by an automobile that
year. Later towing line became en-
tangled with his wheel and he was
dragged so feet. The following spring

27, 1917, when he was slated for retire
