Beau Brummel of Civil War Days
Became Samaritan of Leper Colony
CLARKEVILLE, Tenn. A beau
brummel of 60 years ago became the
gcctl tamaritan of the Molokal leper
colony.
Such Is the story recorded by
Clarksvtlle belles of that day grown
eld and reminiscent, their thoughts
('ruwn to Honolulu hospital by news
that Brother Joseph lies with shat
tered health at 87 after 44 years of
toll. ;
In the early eighties, they recall.
Inv B. Dutton, handsome and dash
ing Yankee who had advanced from
the ranks to captain in the Union
army came to Clarksvitle as a govern
ment agent to settle claims of citizens
for horses and quartermaster stocks
Edzed by federal troops.
Handsome and gracious, he became
socially promlpent and especially pop
ular with the belles .of the day.
They were surprised, naturally,
when he departed less than two years
after his arrival to enter the Trapplst
monastery at Gethsemane, Ky.
They had another stir when he
reappeared in Clarksvtlle three years
later, completely transformed in .

them believe he was a single man ,
when he was married and had aep- j
arated from his wife, who in the :
meantime had died. j
i So eager to atone for the deception j
he was that he spent a month in the
community seeking out his friends, j

read with interest of his work as
Brother Joseph in the leper colony.
He has sent Christmas tokens every
year to several of these friends.

Courthouse Where Dred Scott Case
Started Abandoned For New Building
Hy E. K. IlMllrr
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
ST. LOUIS UP) A gray old building
where the course of a nation started
to swerve, has fallen victim of a
swift-paced ago.
A new. more stately temple of Jus
tice has pushed aside St. Louis' his
toric court house, mellowed by Its
century of service in the law.
Thero tho history-making Dred
Scott case was Initiated. There once
slaves were auctioned on the steps.
Among the 600.000 files moved to
the new Civil Courts building, none
was given as much attention as the
file of the Dred Scott case. Histori
ans see it as one of the direct causes
of the Civil war.
Yellowed by age, 58 long-hand doc
uments were carried by the circuit
clerk, John Sell moll, to the tvault of
tho new building.
Tho Dred Scott case file, priced pos
session of the court, consists of pleas,
subpenas, depositions, motion for a
new trial and bills of - exceptions
which had a part in the original case.
Tho first petition In thp now noted
r slavery case was filed In the St. Louis
Circuit court April 6. 1846. The paper
'set forth that Dred Scott was claimed
as a slave by Irene Emerson, widow
icf Di. John Emerson, an army sur
geon. It stated that since the negro
had lived with the Emersons in free
! territory for more than seven years.
he should be allowed to sue for his
freedom.
I After long litigation, Scott was,
given, his freedom by the circuit court
only to have the decision reversed by
j the Missouri state supreme court,
j Meantime the negro became the
j property of an absentee master living
in New York. Anti-slavery lawyers
I continued their Interest. The case
. finally reached the United States su
preme court. In the final decision,
the Missouri compromise was voided,
and masters were given the right to
, hold stuves anywhere in the federal
domain.
The old courthouse dates from 1833.
i The new Civil Courts building rises 13
'stories and cost $4,500,000.
I Tho future of the old courthouse
is uncertain. It may become a museum.

j MOrXTAIN OR SEASHORE
j Tho physiclari is often asked
1 "Which Is the preferable place for-a
i vacation mountain or seashore?"
In general, the answer i "There is
much that can be said in the recom
j mendatlon of each.",
j But to the healthy person, there Is
i not enough difference to overrule per
sonal prcierence. The sick person
must be guided by the physician ac
quainted with his condition, and even
there the physician usually takes the
patient's preferences Into account.
In general, however, there is this
Idlfferenco 'between mountain and
seashore. Mountain air is more pure
than Beashore air. It is usually not
quite as humid, or moisture-laden.
Tho air Is colder, particularly at
night, but the cold is not felt as
much.
The air pressure Is less In the
mountains man at the seashore, and
' this promotes deeper and more fre
jquent breathing. High altitudes are
thought to stimulate the increase of
j both red and white blood cells in the
j body. In the mountains the varia
j tlons. during 24 hours are greater than
at the seashore.
j The sun is usually more brilliant at
; the shore, and salt water bathing Is
; ol special value to some,
j In former times climatology (the
, study of climates and their effects
I upon the human constitution) was an
: important port of the physician's
j training.
More recently this science has been
! neglected probably because expert -'
ence has demonstrated that there are
, benefits to be derived at both moun
tain and seashore. In the treatment
of tuberculosis it has been shown that
most patients will benefit from treot
ment at either place.

THE TROI BLE-MAKEII
Hy Alice .Imlson Peule
Whenever Jule joined a group of
children things .began to happen.
Whatever game they were playing
stopped a few moments after she had
made her appearance to start a battle
cl one sort or another.
If they were playing house she
Fwcpt tho tea things off the table,
saying that it was a silly way to play
because they didn't really have any
thing to eat. If another child was
enjoying the swing she planted her
self immediately in its path so that
he had to stop to avoid knocking her
down.
One day the youngsters had made
r, bridge of planks and sawhorses. Im
mediately Jule removed the middle
plank and ran away with it as fast
as she could.
Her particular gift, however, lay in
her ability to turn all the children
against one child, preferably one who
was not able to defend himself. Some
one of the smaller, gentler children
of the neighborhood always was run
ning home crying after one of these
concerted attacks organized by Jule.
Many of us have trouble-makers In
otir neighborhoods, and we must try
to cope with them. Often, speaking
to such a youngster decently but
firmly about the trouble that he is
making, explaining to him Just how
hv is spoiling everyone's fun, includ
ing his own, is a help.
Sometimes the other children can
be urged to take a more aggressive
attitude toward him. Sometimes it is
possible to cultivate a better spirit
among the children which turns
them away from his Influence and
forces him to meet them on their
own terms.
Occassional I y it is possible to cul
tivate a more friendly and construc
tive attitude by providing in your
cwn back yard the kind of play
equipment that encourages cooperation.
