BRAIN TESTS
By sam LOyd.
IS Minutes to Answer This.
No. $50.


An interesting incident Of the late
submarine pestilence is related by
the skipper Of Dutch schooner,
that recently reached an American
port for the fSst time in three
years.
Says the skipper, IN describing his
meeting with a flock Of the under
sea boats:
"They came up out OF the sea like
a school Of tin whales and their
eyes began to blink on all quarters,
because u was in the middle OF the
night and cloudy" remarked the
captain.
When asked Just how many there
were. the doughty mariner replied:
well, did not exactly count them
but l am willing 10 take an affidavit
that l saw 3 without their star
board lights; 3 without larboard
lights; and 3 had starboard lights;
3 had larbOard lights; had both
starboard and larboard lights. Then
there were 3 that had neither star
board or larboard lights"
Now you see according to the
sklpper's sworn statement there
might have been IS submarines.
However, a phlegmatic cabin boy
who had both his starboard and
larbosrd eyes open, was heard to
remark that while the "old Man"
was correct in his assertion. It
would be better 10 salt down the
figures TO the minimum OF pOssibil-
ities.
Now the puzzliug proposition IS:
What is the least number Of sub
marines that could have borne out

his being "gassed" was a frame-up. Al
any rate he spent an enjoyable evening
with a jolly bunch OF officers and has
concluded that was worth much more
than the price OF ice cream even II he
was "gassed."
An interesting story IS told In camp
OF the trading ability displayed by a
popular non-cOm officer while In camp.
Tis non-cOm returned 10 his quarters
one day carrying a bride. When asked
by his commander where he got It his
reply was, 81 found it," The next day
he brought in a saddle which he said
he also found. The next day he brought
in the horse. Several days later he
traded for another horse. Several
other trades followed and the last one
was for a roll Of tar paper which he
put on the roof OF his tent.
Ofilcers OF the Pioneers are discuss
ing several peculiar cOlncidents in con-
nection with the movements Of the
regiment. The Pioneers were taken to
France and brought back on the Le-
viathan, the largest boat in the world.
When they returned 10 Brest late in
June they were placed In exactly the
same barracks that they occupied on
landing at that port. although the camp
Is immense, accommodating more than
10000 troops. On arriving at Camp Dix
last Sunday morning they were as
signed TO practically the same quarters
that they occupied while in that camp
last year.

He was a Confederate soldier, served

NATIONAL LEPROsIUM.

Some day, it is announced at Washington, the
government is going to provide money for
national leprosium. Then John R. Early will
have home and medical attention until the dread
leprosy has killed him.
But in the meantime Early must be shunted
from state to state, from Leper's home to an
isolated shack, because no state feels it should
bear the burden of caring for this leper.
Some time ago Early was confined in shack

on the outskirts of Washington. Naturally, the
But there was no place for him to go. No mans
home was open to him. Villages and cities drove
him out when he appeared. Finally he went to
New Orleans. There is Leper home, supported
by Louisiana, for the few lepers of that state.
Here Early was taken in, fed, clothed and given
what treatment physicians give.
And now the Louisiana authorities have asked
the District of Columbia to pay for Early's care
and maintenance The district refuses, claiming
that Early was resident of North Carolina
when he enlisted in the Spanish-American war.
North Carolina refuses to pay because Early
has not lived in that state for many years.
The United States doesn't pay because con-
gress refuses to provide national leprosium.
1t is matter for the United States government
not for any city, any ore state.
Obviously it is the nations duty to provide for
Robert Early down to the last minute of his life
and to take good care of his dependents. Con-
gress should pay the Louisiana Leper home for
Early's maintenance until national leprosium
is built.
