i FLOWER DAY FOR THE BLIND.
October Ist, 2nd, 3rd and Itli will,
be celebrated throughout tbe State as
Flower Days for the benefit of the
Maryland Workshop for the Blind.
Since the inauguration of this noble
work for the benefit of tbe adult,
blind, it lias been developed that
(lu re are far more eases of men and
women who have lost their sight and
are without occupation, therefore de
pendent upon others, than was an- ,
tieipated.
It, is distressing to contemplate
what tbe loss of vision means to a
'person, but with tbe loss comes lack
of occupation, and if the person have
those that are dependent upon them,
who can imagine what the feeling- of
such a p rson are?
: Tne object of tbe Maryland Work
shop for the Blind is to make tic
| blind of mir State independent rather 1
than d. pendent, therefore trades are'
i taught both to the men and women,
land they are eomp nsated for tie ir
labor. In being given occupation it
is a great blessing, but as (here is
compensation, a blind person realizes
(that they are, to a eerlain extent, as
sisting in making a living, and any
'one that will as-ist in such a cause,
indicate that they have love in their
hearts for t hose I bat are a ill let ed, and
that they are grateful for tie- IHe >ing
of vision that they enj iy.
The Maryland Workshop for the
Blind is exceedingly anxious to wipe
out a debt of $5(1,0111) for tie- purchase
Jof a building and equipment, and
'only 85,001) is required to cancel the
indebtedness.
1 On October Ist. 2nd. ; ’>rd and lib,
it is requested that every pi-rson that
is interested in the work will wear a
Mower, and if it cannot be purchased
from one of their representative, that
the party securing the (lower will lay
aside an amount equal to the grati
tude that they feel, and their ability
to give, and it will lie a pleasure for
ns to receive contributions and for
ward them to the treasurer, or tiny

Mr. Bellows, although blind, lias

Where there is one nun who can
maintain bis position after having

that cannot.

FAIRNESS. TOWARD NEGROES
Taft's Attorney General Stands for the
“Square Deal.”
Attorney General Wlckersham re
flects the broad American spirit ol
himself and his chief, President Taft,
in his splendid tight against th
dropping from membership In flu
American liar association of his ablt
colored assistant, William H. Lewis,
It is needless to say that every sup
porter of Woodrow Wilson and every
sympathizer with Theodore Roosevelt
In his refusal to recognize the citizen
ship of the southern negro, Is opposed
to Mr. Wlckersham In his battle foi
equal lights and fair treatment foi
colored Americans.
The action of the executive commit
tee of the liar association In revolt.
Ing the election of three colored mem
hers, gentlemen of spotless profession
al standing and excellent personal
character, by their local committees
was outrageously, cruelly unjust and
ought to be repudiated by every
reputable lawyer In the United States
It was a concession to that southern
Democratic prejudice which seeks tc !
crush the spirit of manly aspiration
In the negro's breast and to tolerate
him only as a laborer on the plants, j
tlons and for the households where his I
ancestors were slaves. It amounts tc j
an attempt to nullify the constitution
of the United States, as amended aftei j
the rebellion, by men whose sacred
obligation and welcome duty It should !
be to support that Instrument in theli |
every act as lawyers and as citizens.
In their resolute backing of Assist
ant Attorney General Lewis against
the assaults of rank Bourbonism and
racial prejudice, President Taft and ,
his attorney general have the god
speed of every American who believes
In the principles for which Lincoln
died, and who Is determined that the
sacrifices which the nation offered up
on the altar of freedom and equal
rights for all shall not have been mads
In vain.

BL UE JACKEXS WRITJNG HOHZ
EVERY summer ships of the
North Atlantic squadron are as
sembled In the still waters of
Cape Cod Bay for target prac
tice, and Incidentally to enter
lain the summer visitors at the Cape
I villages of the north shore from Prov-
Incetown as far ns Dennis. On the re
; reiving days, when the officers and
men are ready to play hosts to the
civilian population, there are scores
af launches and pleasure craft plying
between the fleet and the shore land
ings, carrying loads of excursionists.
( to whom a jteep at the Inside workings
af these war engines Is a great event.
Traditionally sailors and officers are
courteous, and they seem very glad to
conduct the visitors about and answer
the unending questions.
When there Is to l>e target practice
the great fleet steams slowly out of
Urovlncetown Harbor *arly In the day
and steers across toward the Dennis
shore, a distaatce of about fifteen or
twenty miles, and falls Into line for
j (nation, preparatory to the day’s work.
Meanwhile tbe targets at which the
battleships are to aim are being ar
ranged off shore, about five miles at
Ben One of the reasons why the fleet
gathers hero In this way Is because
there la very little traffic of fishing
vessels or steamers to interfere with
the practice, and the watchers, scan
ning the seaward horizon with their
powerful glasses In search of such
passing craft, seldom have to give
w anting.
As Seen From Shore.
The men behind the big guns on the
ships, five miles away, have to live up
to the navy’s traditional marksman
ship If they are to hit the rolling can
vas targets, no more than twenty-five
feet square. This practice cannot bo
curried on In rough water, and It Is
the smooth water of Cape Cod Bay
(hat brings the warships here for big
gun practice.
The spectator on shore, who at
North Dennis may be within perhaps
(wo or three miles of the battleship,
first sees a sharp burst of smoke Is
sue front the ship. An Instant later,
before any report Is heard, Is seen the
spray shooting high In the air where
the shot has struck the water far out
In the bay. Then comes the roar of
the gun, which rings long and loud for
several seconds, reverberating like
heavy thunder. In fact, when the
heaviest guns are being used, the
houses on the cape tremble and win
dows rattle for some time after the
charge is fired. A few years ago the
big guns were fired frequently with
heavy charges and windows along the
shores at Dennis were often broken by
the Jar. The heavy gun firing can be
easily heard all over the cape and the
Jar felt In buildings as well. It Is
related that an accidental discharge
of a gun pointing shoreward once sent
a shell In the direction of East Den
nis It struck an empty house, w'hich,
naturally, was entirely demolished.
In all the practice here—and the
squadron has assembled In the Massa
chusetts waters for several years—no
reports of any damage done by stray
shots beyond the targets have been
heard, though there Is considerable
traffic on some days between Boston
and Provlncetown. The excursion
steamer Dorothy Bradford plys be
tween these points twice dally, and
would be In a direct line of fire. The
ships have made some remarkable rec
ords for accurate shooting while at
target practice at this rendezvous.
Night Attacks.
Another feature of the "war game'
In the bay is the night attacks, when
the attacking fleet tries to get within
firing distance of the defensive squad
ron. It is not very often, however,
that the attacking fleet of destroyers
succeeds In creeping undiscovered
within an “unsafe" distance. Most of
the work of this sort Is done at night.
Then the powerful searchlights of the
craft are in play, making a free spec
tacle for the people on shore. The
great lights flash back and forth
across the sky, and give the Cape Cod
reside nts a thrilling imitation of what
, they may some day see in grim real
j Ity. Just what the intent of the man
. oeuvres tray be and their results are
not made public. They are kept secret
for fear that foreign spies on shore
, might learn the signals, plans, meth
ods of attack, etc., of the navy.
Accuracy In scoring Is almost ns Im
portant as straight shooting, and after
! the targets have been hit they are
( towed ashore. Three or four hits
pearly always put a target out of com
mission, but they scarcely ever sink,
as they are built to remain afloat, so
that results can be recorded.
Shore leave for the crews during
the visit of the fleet here allows the
men twenty-four or forty-eight hours’
liberty on shore In relays. Oftentimes
the ships' bands are ashore at the
same time, and give concerts at thu
town parks The Jackies take advan
tage of the flue diamond at Province
town, and the navy ball games always
attract thousands of spectators.
A favorite stunt of Jack ashore In
Provlncetowu Is climbing the Pilgrim
Memorial monument. And more than
that, they climb out at the summit
and walk around the topmost ledge,
Jumping from one stone to another, i
“Jumping the stones” at the top of
the monument, nearly 300 feet from
the ground Is the great hazing test In
the North Atlantic fleet.
The North Atlantic fleet usually re
mains here about a month during July,
after which It Is up anchor and away
for rougher waters. Many of the wives
and families of the officers stay at the
Cape while the fleet Is assembled In
the bay.
NEVER IS A MATTER OF SIZE
Proportions and Figures Can Not Be
Said to Represent Any
Real Strength.
Increase of population Is not neces
sarily a good thing of Itself, nor Is a
low birth rate necessarily a bad
thing.
Increase of population does not
even make any necessary additions
to the national strength.
England would be a stronger nation
than she Is today It her population
had not outrun her food supply. Many
thoughtful observers believe the
same Is true of Germany.
Patrons of the prize ring used to
say that a man weighing 180 pounds
weighed enough. A man of that
weight was deemed big enough to en
counter any adversary; and additional
weight was thought as likely to be a
hindrance as a help.
The rule may hold good with na
tions as with men though to be sure
no one knows where to draw the
line. But the nation which Is much
too big to feed Itself has taken on a
handicap, to say the least. —Chicago
Journal.
Neuralgia Remedy,
The most stubborn cases of neural
gia are apt to yield to hot water treat
ment. Wherever the pain Is located
there i> hot water bag should be ap
plied. The suffering part should be
covered with a blanket and the pa
tient put to bed and covered with
more blankets and Induced to drink
at least three cups of water, as hot as
the palate can stand. This treatment
may seem severe, but It Is sure to
bring relief. Of course the patient
should be careful not to take cold
when cooling off after this treatment.

MISS MORGAN’S VIEWS
ON ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of
America’s greatest financier, does not
I ___ believe any wo
gf man can be hap
py unless she
works. Miss Mor
gan keeps reason
ably busy. She
was prominent In,
promoting the re
cent ball for the
Vacation Savings
fund for working
girls. She ex
plained some of
her knowledge of
conditions and
views on econom
ic problems In talking about It.
“We all know,” said Miss Morgan,
“that the girl who makes from five to
six dollars a week cannot possibly
live on her own resources In New
York and save money. I know that
no young woman here can be really
self supporting on less than eight dol
lars a week, but a great many young
women live on less because they are
partially supported by their families.
When any employer tells you that ho
pays his girls five or six dollars a
week, and that he employs only young
women who live at home, you can be
sure that that employer who does not
pay a living wage Is practically sub
sidized by the families of his em-i
ployes.
"The Vacation Savings fund was or-i
ganized primarily to help the poorly
paid working girl to save money for
a vacation, but we hope ultimately to
convince employers that a girl who
works only fifty weeks Is of greater
value than one who works B 2 weeks.
You must know that the greater num
ber of girls making five and six dol
lars a week do not receive paid vaca
tions, and those that do have little
chance of enjoying them, because
their two weeks’ wages are mortgaged
In advance to their families.
The Vacation Savings fund was
| organized to help girls earning small
wages to put aside sums ranging from
live to twenty five cents a week for
the purpose of taking a two weeks*
vacation In the country.
“The girls do not wish to feel that
they were In any way the recipients
of charity, and there Is nothing that
I detest more than charity myself.
Charity solves no social problems—ln
fact, It retards their solution. So they
conceived the Idea of giving a ball.”
Miss Morgan said that she was
I strongly in favor of trades unions, but
was not Interested In suffrage. "I
believe there are many things more
Immediately necessary for women,”
j she went on, “but suffrage Is certain
( to come.”
REV. A. B. IRWIN IN
ONE PULPIT 25 YEARS
The Presbyterian congregation In
Highland, Kan., gave a reception a
few nights ago to
the pastor, Rev.
A. B. Irwin, and
Sy?• J Mrs. Irwin, upon
. 0 the conclusion of
- fifth
year ,of contlnu
jra ous ministry In
tljj the aame church,
alir When Dr. Ir-
JL win came to
Highland twenty
mSW five years ago
'% I there was neither
I—V il a Pre s b yterlan
church nor par

In the chapel of an old college build
ing. Dr. Duncan Brown, now of St.

at one time, driving BO miles each
week to do so. Afterwards be
preached for six years In the Presby

which place he went to Highland.
Extract From Australian Diary.
About noon It got too hot for any
thing and 1 took a well earned swim
In a secluded creek, amid shoals of
fish, large and small, who apparently
resented my Intrusion from the way
they came and stared at me.
I found on emerging from the water
that a host of blue brown ants had
taken possession of my clothes, and
when they were shaken out they re
venged themselves by biting my bare
feet In away which was exceedingly
painful.
There are thousands of ants every
where. Some of the anthills are three
feet high and six feet across—but
except for a sharp nip at the time,
the ordinary ant’s bite Is not notice
able. But If a soldier ant or a bull
ant or a greenhead (an ant about
Inches long wdth a green head) bites
you, It Is not to be forgotten because
they take quite a big piece out.
Then there are the white ants (not
really ants, but termites), which
cheerfully eat the Insides out of the
beams of the wooden houses, and re
cently have been eating the sheet
lead on the top of the Sydney mu
seum. The city fathers thought thle
was going a little too far. so now the
ants arc preserved Inside the mnrnim
with samples of the half consumed
lead as a warning to all who would
allow their appetites to run away
with them.—The Gentlewoman.
