"The Hermit Priest" of Molokai Leper.

HONOLULU,T H.-Brother DuttOn, A A 'the hermit priest" of MOlOkai. the leper island of the Hawaiian group, celebrated his seventy-ninth birthday and his thirty-sixth year of labor among the eXiled inhabitants of the colony on the rock-bound peninsula of Kalawao recently, according to mes- sages to friends in Honolulu.
 ''I am still happy and the outside world has no attraction for me-" wrote the successor to the famous martyr priest, Father Damien, who died a victim of leprosy after years of devO- ton to the care of the KalawaO exiles. "I find my duty and my pleasure in trying to ease the sufferings of strick- en humanity here"
 The life story of Brother DuttOn is unique. according to Honolulu friends. He has never set foot off the lonely isle since his arrival there 36 years ago to work with Father Damien. Once a soldier, he retired with the rank of captain after the Civil war. He was 'debonair, a lover of the pleasures of life, Beau Brummel, and he sowed his wild oats until he was thirty-five

FUNERAL BEARERS ON STRIKE
Incident That Enlightened British Pub lie Concerning Profession About
 Which Little Is Known.

The strike of funeral bearers in Hull calls attention to s profession of which comparatively little is known.
 People are apt to look upon the somber figures who walk beside the hearse and carry the coffin to the graveside as simply part of the un- dertaker's outfit, but i1 reality these men are a profession to themselves. Usually they are small tradesmen, writes a correspondent, or out of work, ready 10 earn few shillings in this way. Every undertaken has his own little band who can be relied upon to come whenever a funeral is on. Generally the undertaken provides the tall hats, a fact which accounts for the grOtesque fitting of some of the hats, but the black suit must be pro- vided or borrowed by the man himself. The fee varies from D cents to S1.25, according to the district. and there are men who can make 8 a week and upwards out of this line. At Hull the fee has been $1.25. Now the undertakers wish to drop it to $1 a funeral, and hence the strike of the bearers.-Man:hester Guardian.

 Hartman pushed past her and ran into the basement, and then up the basement stairs to the first floor. The maid ran ahead of him on the stairs and then fled up the stairs to the sec ond floor, screaming to Mrs. Chambers that bandits had entered the house.
 Hartman fingered for moment on the first floor.

NEGRO'S MEMORY A PUZZLE
Colored Man Has Wonderful Fund of Useful information.

Jim Gilmore, negro aged ffty-Six, who lives in the town of Greenvflle. Tex, is said by scientists who have examined him, to possess one of the most remarkable memories known. With apparently small amount of educational training Gilmore is able to quote any verse in the Bible sug- gested to him. He answers any ques- tiOns pertaining to the Civil war, the SpaRish-American war and the late World war, giving dates of. all out standing historical events. He can name every station and water tank from San Francisco to New York on the principal transcOntinental rail- roads.
 There seems to be no limit to the amount of poetry Gilmore can quote. ''The Sinking of the Titanic," num- bering 40 verses, and "The World War From Beginning to End" in 60 verses and three parts, is another literary achievement of which he can boast. He has travelled extensively and possesses an excellent vocabulary for one of limited educatiOn.-Exchange

British Columbia Goat Farms.

British Columbia Goat Farms.
 There are several farms in British Columbia where goats are raised e1- clusively and which have herds of sev- eral hundred each. These farms not only make excellent profits on milk which Is shipped to Vancouver, Vic toria and other cities for the use of children and invalids, but on young animals that are sold to supply the rapidly developing market.
 Goat breeding Is being taken up by suburban city dwellers, the people of small towns and farmers. Goats are hardy animals and if permitted a good range will rustic their own living the year around. If kept confined, their upkeep is inexpensive while their milk sells for a much higher price than cows milk. Yields of six quarts day are common.

TOO MUCH SYMPATHY
FOR LAW BREAKERS
Big Factor In Present Crime Wave
Declares Attorney General
Daugherty.

Chicago, Jun "A widespread
spirit OF lawlessness is sweeping the
country, Attorney-General Daugherty
declared here yesterday in an ad-
dress before the Illinois State Bar
association.
The wave Of lawlessness Is masked
,the attorney general asserted, by an
"unwillingness on the part OF some
state and local officials to punish Vio-
lators.
Unfortunately" said Daugherty,
I'VE have throughout the country
wide spread spirit of lawlessness and
the men whose duty 1t is to enforce
the laws too often sympathize with
the boot.eggers and their patrons,
with the prohteers and with other law
breakers or else they lack the moral
backbone which is needed when the
enforcement OF law means the max
ing OF enemies as we'll as friends"
Referring to war graft cases,
Daugherty urged patience with the
department of justice because OF the
appalling burden" on the department.
Daugherty urged state and local au
thorities to insist upon more strict
enforcement of the prohibition and
other laws. He said there are now
pending in the United States courts
ia, 900 prohibition cases which should
have been taken care Of by the
states.
