FEAT OF A BLIND oYoL1sr.
He Makes Hundred Mile Journey Guild
ed Only By His Sense of Sound.

He Makes q Hundred Mile Journey Guild
ed Only by His Sense of Sound.
A blind boy bicycli of Oakland, CAL,
performed remarkable feat week or SO
since by riding from Oakland to San Jose
on his bicycle and back again, century
rum" along the highway, guided only by
the sound of the bell on the bicycle of a
friend who accompanied him. He has been
stone blind for 4 years. His name is N.
L. Perry, and he is now about II years old.
Ho was a student in the Berkeley Insti-
tute For the Deaf and Dumb and Blind,
and while there was the leader in field
sports and in the gymnasium. He gradu-
ated with honors, and is now student in
the State university. His loss of sight is
compensated for in some degree by an alb
normal sense of hearing.
When all the young men of his acquaint-
ance began to ride the bicycle, he became
greatly interested in the machine and de-
termined to own and ride one himself. He
was confident that if he could once learn
to mount and pedal and dismount his
sense of hearing would enable him to ride
with perfect safety and with great enjoy
ment. His first lessons proved very try
ing experience, and he had one serious fall.
But he persisted, and soon he was able to
mount, maintain his poiSe and pedal
around the arena of the bicycle school with
the case and assurance of an expert. Then
in the suburbs of Berkeley. He knew the
roads we'll, and his keen hearing enabled
him to avoid collisions with pedestrians
and vehicles practically well as though
he could see.
a week or so ago the notion of making
the trip from Oakland to San Jose, d IA
vorite century run, occurred to him, and
he at once made arrangements for the ex-
pertinent. He got fellow student, who
is of course not blind, to accompany him
and act as pilot. A code of signals on the
bicycle bell was arranged to indicate vari-
Gus conditions likely to be met on the trip,
such as unusual distractions, the turns in
the road, and the like. The road is not
one of the best even for rider possessed
of all his faculties, but the blind boy,
piloted by his friend, made the trip in
safety and with much pleasure.
In the so miles of the ride to San Jose
the blind bioyclist had three falls from bls
machine, but they were not serious, and
he remounted at once and continued the
trip. The slipping of his wheel into deep
ruts caused the fall in each instance. Aft
er resting a day in San Jose the blind
rider made the so mile run back again
to Oakland, piloted by his friend.

Great Britain to America.

And must it be that we must fight
Who hold the ends of earth in sway;
We who, if we but Joined our might,
Could keep world combined at bay?
We, freedom s firstborn, whose twin star
OF glory lightens all the main,
Meet like Two thunderclouds of war,
Dissolving in a bloody rain?
Must we, of all the earth among,
Whose race, whose lineage, are the same;
We of one heart, one mind, one tongue,
We, brothers, breathe wars hostile flame?
Spite all these ties must there be riven
'Twixt us and thee that breach abhorred,
Which, like the pass to houris' heaven,
Can but be bridged by naked sword?
All, mol Perchance volcanic rage
Our kindred shores has severed wide
But our true hearts from age to age
Shall wars volcano meier bride.
'Twixt us no strife shall intervene
To mar our glorious brotherhood:
TIL Atlantic wide may roll between.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 3-The reform

GUY rs A PATRIOT.

The First Justice of the Peace 1n
Kansas TO Decry the Fee System.
Justice John L. Guy says he desires to
go on record as everlastingiy against the
robber Zee system, of justice courts
sit is my conviction" he said THAT the
fee system is big steal and that it ought
to be stopped. If l had my way l would
abolish all the justice courts in cities OF
the first class and their fee systems and
establish one city court to cover them all
with one constable and deputies, judge
and constables all on salaries. 1t would
be great saving to the people because
the fees are simply exorbitant and 1t
doesn't stop there. Some justices are
not above charging more than the law
allows them if they can get it.
Instead of having part of the criminal
business of the city go into the Justice
courts with their big fees let the police
judde have charge of all of the criminal
business of the city at a salary of say
81, 200. The other court would then. have
time to take care of all the civil business.
OF course this plan could not be worked
in the case of the country justices where
the salaries would have to be so small
that nobody would take the Office.
