Twenty Famous Men
A BLIND BOY'S RISE.
By Thomas Tapper
FEW of us realise how life Is sim
plified by good roads. The fact
that a good path leads from one
place1 to another means (I) that it will
save us time and strength getting be
tween the two places; (2) that some
one made It.
There was born nearly two centuries
ago into the family of poor working
people, a son, who was named John
Metcalf. At the age of six John was
afflicted with smallpox, which de
stroyed his sight.
He used to grope about the house,
learning how to find his way by re
membering the order of the doors, the
wall, the mantelpiece. When he had
learned to do this In the house, he be
gan in the same way to learn the lit
tle village where he lived. In three
years he could find his way alone to
any part of the town without help.
Being an active boy, he joined in all
the sports of his companions. He
learned to climb trees, to swim, to ride
a horse, and to do many other things
that showed the unusual activity of his
mind.
One night a man met him and asked
the way to a neighboring town. John
offered to go with him. He led him
across fields and moors, through lit
tle lanes and by-paths, and brought
him to the door of tbe Inn where the
gentleman was to stay.
Samuel Smiles, In telling this story.
relates that the gentleman remarked
to the landlord of the inn that the hoy
had probably been drinking.
"Why?" asked the landlord.
"I judge so from the look of his
eyes."
"Why," said the landlord, "the boy
is stone blind."
X3all him In again," said the gen
tleman. "Are you really blind, my boy?'
"Yes. sir, from my sixth 'year."
"Had I known that I would' not have
come over that road with you for a
hundred pounds."
"And I," said John, "would not have
lost y way for a thousand pounds."
That he was not afraid To travel,
however, is shown by the fact that he
went alone by steamer to London. Te
? p-ay hi" exPni be took his fiddle
with him, and by playing earned manv
a penny now and then.
From the fact that John was fond
of going about as freely as one who
could see. he learned of the bad state
of the roads that led from town to
town oyer England. When, by an act
of parliament it wag decided to con
struct a turnpike road in the north of
England, John offered to undertake
the work, blind as he was. and to con
struct a satisfactory roadway. He se
cured the contract and began in a
thoroughly businesslike way to become
)& road constructor.

New Bill at the Crawford
Beginning tonight and continuing until Thursday, with a Wg t and
twenty cent matinee on Wednesday, Mr. Albert Taylor and his ooropaify
wffl present Sol Smith Russell's great comedy, entitled "Peaceful VaBay."
This play is just as delightfully amusing as the other wdl known eoradies
which Mr. Taylor has presented the past few weeks at the Crawford, and
which have filled the house to capacity night after night.
This week was to conclude the engagement of Mr. Taylor, but as next
week is the week of the Cattlemen's convention, the management desires to
have the very best company appearing at the Crawford that tit is possible
to secure, and as patrons of this theatre unite with the management in de
claring that the Albert Taylor Stock company is the best stock company
ever seen in the house, Mr. Taylor has been persuaded, by tho extra induce
ments held out to him, to remain in El Paso during the week of the
Cattlemen's convention.
During this tiroes which is next week, Mr. Taylor and his company
will present three high class royalty bills; plays of the same quality as
"The Wolf," which at both its performances yesterday taxed the house
to capacity. Owing to the high royalty which Mr. Taykw will have to pay
for every performance of these plays, and other extra expenses in tho way
of scenery and equipment, tbe prices of admission for next week will be
slightly increased, which, however, will still enable one to see some of ike
greatest plays ever written presented by a great actor at popular price.
