I hate to throw: myself on the mercies, of the peo ple, but I must ask for assistance un less th"o government helps me, , "I wish .someone would start an agita tion for a national hospital for lepers. It would not cost the government much. Whether I have leprosy or not, I would be willing to go to an Institution and stay there rather than cause the agita tion' and trouble that my case has already aroused." . ' ' Muneey's ,' magazine of : September, 1909, carried a pitiful article written by Isola Forrester of John Early's con demnatlon for -leprosy and quarantine in Washington, D. C In this article Is the love story of the leper's life, the story of the woman who was within the dwelling being moved yesterday af ternoon, of the young wife who stood by Early when he was first condemned and who has remained by his side' ever since,, coming to Tacoina with him last summer. In thte magaxlne article Jzola For rester lets Early tell in his own words of bis love at first eight for his pres ent wife, who was a Salvation Army lassie in Plattsburg, N. Y. The court ship and wooing were some time before Early became afflicted. ; This is the story as told by Early in Munsey's: Sight of Her Changed World. "Why, the very first time I ever saw her it changed the world for me. I was Just a soldier, a big, hulking kid, fresh from , the servcle, and without respect for anything on the face of the earth except my mother and my flag. I drifted into the Salvation Army meet ing up at Plattsburg. There were three or four of u boys attracted by the music and' the warmth, and we slipped Into a side seat Just to listen and see what they dld..7 ; i ; - "And this slip of a Klrl 'got up a little bit of a girl she was. only IS; she oould walk right under my arm. Lord, but she looked pretty. In the blue bon net. She had a guitar slung across her shoulders on a red ribbon and she sang and played, up there on the platform. She sang hymns my mother used to sing 'Throw Out the Life Line'- and 'Let a Little Sunshine In,' and' that other one, It You Love Your Mother, Meet Her in the Skies.' A fellow, doesn't quite get the grip on these unless he happens to have lost his mother; . I had. - : "When she finished singing and they called for volunteers I went up and en listed. With God and her for comrade I. could face any fight this life held. And I've got them yet, Qod and her!" . They All Know Sis Kama Vow. ; At Summit View, the lcper'a Tacoma neighborhood, everybody knows now where Early lives, "That's him working up there now," said one -neighbor, as a reporter approached the scene of a house moving; A half dozen-men were stand ing around and three men . and a horse were working inffutstrlouely at the house moving; The one pointed out as Early was busily shoveling dirt and directing operations generally. ' He wore gloves on his hands and his clothing, an old work suit, was .liberally splattered with soft dirt he had been digging away in leveling the. track on which the dwell lng was being rolled up hill. . - A. studloutily unostentatious but ' all the more apparent effort was made by all to keep well away frpm the man. "I want to see John Early," was said. "X Am. John Early." T am John Early," said the man, as he straightened up and removed his hat, revealing what had once been rather a strong face, now turning a beot red, swollen and puffed out above and below the eyes and around the mouth, a face which looked as if the man hud but a few moments before stuck his head into a beehive and suffered Innumerable stings from the vicious little insects, though withal swollen and discolored in a way that had one not known the cause of the swelling and discoloration would not have been especially repulsive. "Why are . you moving the house?" was the first question. It oelng rather difficult matter to. figure out how to begin with a leper. "I wanted to get It up on the hilt then right over there is the acre whera I am going to be," was the reply, Early evidently taking it for granted that his questioner would understand all that tho statement "the acre where I am going to be" would Imply. "And you want to get there right away?" "Just as soon as possible." "And never want to leave it?" "No; never. "You know I got to live somewhere. That is the best place. My wife and children will be out here and I'll be In there. We will all be right here together, and yet ...... And listen, I've tried to be fair with all; with the people her and, everywhere. ' And yet, you understand, there is always the temptation for a man situated as i am, the temptation to conceal, Just to live." PORTLAND DOCTORS SAY LEPROSY IS INFECTIOUS WHERE SKIN IS BROKEN ' "Leprosy Is not so dangerous as peo ple believe." said City Health Officer Wheeler. "It is Infectious but not con tagious and, can be contracted only by contact and' then only as a rule where the skin is broken. The disease Is hereditary and when lepers marry, their children will develop it although at birth they may be healthy," Dr.. Calvin S. White, state health of ficer, said: "The agitation against the rr .... i . . i ... . . . .... ... uvumv iBiJQr biiuuiu, us turned Bgainsii, consumptives, for they are many tlrnrj more , oangerous. , it is impossible to contract leprosy ' unless the skins la broken and one comes in direct contact with the leper. Scarlet fever and klndotd, diseases are more dangerous as far as contagion is concerned. Father Damlen, a Catholic priest, lived among tho lepers In Hawaii for 29 years with out contracting the disease." PORTLAND TRAVELER BEATEN BY CAB DRIVER (United 4Vpm Ie! Wire.) San Francisco, Feb. i W. J. Wright of Portland, a contractor, has today lodged complaint against Fred Satler, a cabman, charging Satler with having as saulted F. A. Clark.

After Clark's injuries were dressed he continued on bis way to Los Angeles, leaving Wright to swear out a warrant for the camban's arrest. Wright says Batler attacked Clark be cause Clark interferred with the hack man's efforts to Induce Mrs. Graves to engage him at an exorbitant price. The affair occurred when the steamer Roan oke docked here from the north. All were pasengera on tho ship. CHEMICAL SCHEDULE PASSED BY DEMOCRATS (United Press Letted Wire.) Washington, Feb. 13.
