HELEN KELLAR, BLIND AND DEAF,
ENTERS HARVARD.
BosToN, October u

BosToN, October u.
Helen Kellar, blind, deaf, scentless,
tasteless, has passed the Harvard exami-
nation with credit.
She had no preparation and the exam
liners did not know who she was.
She will enter Radcliffe Harvard
annex at a younger age than most fresh
men.
Mr.. Gilman, the director of the school,
wished when Miss Kellar was first
brought to him to find out how great had
been her progress in the different subjects
which she had studied. To this end he
gave her some of the preliminary Harv-
ard examination papers, the same papers
which were presented to candidates at
Harvard and Radcliffe College last June.
Though she had never had airy prepa-
ration for college examinations, in fact,
had never had examinations of any sort,
she passed the papers submitted with
credit. The time allowed for each paper
was precisely the same as that given at
regular examinations, but the questions
had, of course, to be read to Miss Kellai,
which made the time left for answering
them considerably less.
The answers were typewriter in clear,
precise English, and almost without mis-
take. either in spelling, punctuation or
subject matter.
The Harvard examiners to which they
were submitted agreed that, judging by
the same standard by which they are
accustomed to judge all papers, Miss
Kellar passed in every subject tried.
These subjects were English, French,
German and history.
Thus she has already passed five hon
ors of Radcliffe's elementary examina-
tons; this, too, at the uncommonly early
age of sixteen, after only nine years Of
conscious development.
Helen Kellar was born in Alabama
July q, 1880, her father being former
Confederate officer, and later United
States marshal. No attempt ateducation
was made for the first seven years Of her
apparently hopeless life.
1t was when about eighteen months
old that she lost all senses but that of
touch. In 1887 she was taken to the
Perkins School for the Blind, in Boston,
and placed under the care of Miss Sulli-
van, who devoted her life to the educa-
ton of the little unfortunate.
Three years later she had learned to
artticuate, and with rapidity un-
dreampt of by those who bad to do with
children in the possession of their full
faculties.
In 1894 she was removed to the Wight
HaInoson School in New York refusing to
become an inmate of school built in
London ard named after ller.
Soon alter that she became apt in in
terpreting the speech of others by feeling

Feeding in Kansas.

Last year. the Hutchinson Necs predict.
ed, about this time, that there would be 40.
900 cattle and as many sheep feed in Reno
county during last winter and some
thought the estimate was too high. Il
proved, however, that the estimate was
too small. Well-informed stockmen esti
mate that 10000 cattle were fed there last
winter and 10 600 sheep.
IL is believed that fully that number will
be fed in that Kansas county again this
year. Farmers and stockmen are now
buying feeders and are shipping them into
the county every day. Train load after
train load are being handled at the CITY
stock yards in Hutchinson and are finding
q ready sale, while buyers from that city
and county are now In southeastern Kan
sas buying cats'eirom the range, to bring
TO Reno county Tor the purpose Of feeding
during the winter.

A Healer In Las Vegas.

Few people know that Mrs. j. G. z
d mahue, who lives In this city, is the very
same woman who, rs "Mrs. Green, the
Kansas Healer" created such an excite
ment In Kansas a few years ago., and later
came under the condemnation of the priest
hood in Mexico for possessing some super
human power that was believed to be con-
trary to the church.
Mrs. Donahue called at THE Optic office,
yesterday, and asked that this paper pub
lish the fact that she will treat the poor OF
Las Vegas by the simple laying on Of
hands, free of charge, at the hours from
$3.50 until 7:30 a. m. and again from /
O'Clock until 8 p. m.
She does not pretend any divine power
but claims to be so thoroughly charged
with electricity that she can perform many
wonderful feats Of strength, though a wo-
man of very slight form n delicate
health.
THE Optic does not vouch for anything
that she may do or claim to do, and men
tions the above at the request of Mrs. Dom
ahue, she probably has as much power as
any other ''heaier'' and then It's a home en-
terprise. There are a great many things
Las Vegas cannot compete with the out
side world in, but It certainly should
scare up a ''healer" of Its own.

when he gained his liberty, he never stop

that he forded the river, up to his waist,

awaiting shis return, in the middle of the

OAK FORESTS OF AMERICA
Rapid Disappearance of Woods that
We're Once the Nations Pride.

The magnificent oak forests north OF
the Ohio river, in the central part of
the Northern States, have largely dis
appeared. Within the last live years
there has been an increasing demand
for oak in spite of business depression,
more especially for such timber as goes
into house finishing. including plain
and quarter-saW wed oak and white oak
The duration of the Wisconsin red oak
supply is now pretty plainly indicated
and in the meantime remnants of In.
diana, Ohio. Michigan and southern Iii.
nois oak will have disappeared. except
in small farm holdings, and the great
bulk of the supply will thereafter come
from south Of the Ohio. OF course,
there is oak in all the Southern States,
but the alluvial bottom lands must fur.
uish the great bulk of the timber, and
as Kentucky and Tennessee and West
Virginia are partly denuded. the main
supply will soon be derived from the
lower Mississippi and its tributaries
II the finest area of oak timber in the
world. namely. that north of the Ohic
river, has been stripped while the
country's population and industries
We're comparatively small. how long
will the remaining supply last when the
needs are measured by III future pop
ulation and industrial development:
Walnut is gone; cherry, birch and ma
Pile will not last many years. and there
fore the demand for oak VIII be much
greater and will rapidly increase. II
must be remembered. too. that oak
lands are good for agriculture after
the timber IS cut, and for this reason
the denudation will 90 on with greater
rapidity than on the lands less valua-
bic for tillage. When the tide Of emf
grafton sets strongly toward the allu-
vial areas of the lower Mississippi and
its tributaries the hardwood forests will
melt rapidly away before the attacks Of
the farmer. II is for this reason that
large holdings of southern oak and 9TH
er hardwoodS are now being secured
in the South. After a few years oppOr.
tunities for such investments on a large
scale will be gone forever.
