A SECOND HELEN. KELLAR.
Marvellous Education of Girl Who
Is Deaf, Dumb and Blind.


Linnie Haguewood, 17-year-old
pupil of the South Dakota School for
the Deaf and Dumb, is the Helen Kel-
lar of the West and promises to de-
velop the marvellous capacities for see.
ing, hearing and speaking while deaf,
dumb and blind exhibited by the won
derful girl now student at Harvard
annex" Miss Haguewood is II years
old and her story is almost a precise
repetition of that of Helen Kellar. The
Eastern girl, however has had a great
advantage over her Western sister in
that her education began at a much
earlier age and her teacher was more
adept than Miss Haguewood's instruc-
tor.
Linnie was born at Ida Grove, Iowa,
and, like Helen, was perfectly normal
child up to her 18th month. At that
time she was stricken with spinal dis
ease and when she recovered 1t was
found that she had lost the senses Of
sight and hearing totally. She lived in
a world without sound and practically
never having heard the human voice
she was unable to speak, notWithstand-
ing that the muscles and nerves used
in articulating were in nowise injured.
But LAnnie's parents, unlike those of
Miss Kellar, were not rich, and were
unable to engage special teachers for
her. Indeed, they did not know that
their child could be rescued from the
awful solitude in which she lived until
she was nearly Il years old.
Until she was IA years old Miss
Haguewood was cared for like an in
FAINT. She was unable to walk and
could not communicate single thought
to any human being. At Il she was
placed in an asylum for the blind at
Vinton, Iowa, and there Miss Dora
Donald, one Of the teachers, became
deeply interested in the girl. A sub
scription was opened for the purpose of
educating Linnie the Iowa Legislature
appropriated $500, and Miss Donald at
once devoted all her time to her. For
three years she had instructed the help
less girl and recently brought her to the
Deaf and Dumb Institution at Sioux
Falls. The methods she has followed
are those employed by Miss Sullivan
in teaching Helen Kellar. She is now
teaching her how to talk. Linnie places
her delicately sensitive fingers on the
mouth Of her teacher. Miss Donald
then enunciates sound and the pupil
endeavors to initiate it. One sound is
repeated hundreds of times until it ap-
proaches perfection, and then another
is tried. The various sounds are then
combined, and the result is articulate

For a number of years the average an
nual cost to Chicago for removing dead
animals from the city has been about
e37, 800, but now contract has been
made by which the contractor agrees to
remove the carcasses to point three
miles beyond the city limits and pays
IS year for the privilege. 1t is esti-
mated that during the five years for
which the contract is to run the city will
save $1S7, 500, and that is certainly a
very good showing for dead horse econ

burg woman who seems actually to
have been a victim of hypnotic sugges-
ton used for criminal purpose. Her
family physician could not understand
her strange hallucination that she was
to die at certain date; but DR.. Kraft
Ebing discovered that her husband,
who had had her life insured for $4,000
marks, had hypnotized her and "sug-
gested" that she kill herself on a GER
tain date, few days before the expira-
ton of the policy.

A Courteous Retort.

One may be excused for feeling lit
tie joy when the man who goes out Of
his way to make rude remark in or
der to show his wit receives a rebuke
that is as courteous as 1t IS effective.
The retort given by a certain learned
scientist must have been more amusing
to the onlookers than to the learned
gentleman's antagonist.
1t happened at dinner that one of the
guests began to deride philosophy, and
went on rudely to express the opinion
that philosopher was but another way
of spelling fool.
What is your opinion, Professor
he asked. rs there much distance be-
tween them?"
The Professor, with a polite bow to
his boorish vis-a-vis. responded grave
ly: Sometimes only the width of a
table"

The manager Of London factory
which turns out annually 1000 tons of
cyanide of potassium, five grains of
which is enough to kill man instant
ly, says that the poison exercises over
the men engaged in its manufacture a
remarkable fascination which resem-
bles the desire experienced by many
persons when standing on the brink Of
q precipiee to throw themselves down.
The operatives are haunted by a con-
slant desire to eat the stuff, though
perfectly aware that to give way to the
craving would mean instant death.
During the present managers service

An Old Minister.

Many stories are told of Dr. Cad
Hitchcock, who was minister in Penn
broke, Mass, before and during revolu-
tionary times. He was noted for his
patriotism and the fearless expression
Of his views when opportunity offered.
He was chaplain in the army at one
time, and preached many stirring SER
mon to the men.
The first sermon he published was adj
dressed to a military company at the
time when the French were making in
roads on the northern frontier. The
year before the breaking out of the rev.
olution he preached his famous '.Elec-
ton Sermon which reused Gov. Gage
to great wrath. and struck even the
minister's stanchest friends as Had
vised. 1t is said that when Doctor
Hitchcock wrote it, the Governor was
not expected to be in the audience at
the time of it's delivery.
When it was found that he was there,
one Of the minister's friends suggested
that slight modification of some of
the strong expressions in the sermon
would perhaps be advisable; but DR..
Hitchcock was of another mind.
MY sermon is written" he calmly
said, land it will not be altered
On his journeyings to and from Bos-
ton he usually fell into conversation
with any one with whom he was
thrown. One day he travelled to Bos-
ton in company with a sailor Of whom
he asked many questions as to his
name, residence, habits and tastes.
At last the sailor began questioning
In his turn: what is your name?' he
asked.
II am Cad Hitchcock from Tunl<"
the name Of his parish.).
Three Of the worst names l ever
heard!' cried the sailor, bluntly, great
~ to DR.. Hitchcock's delight.

History repeats itself in the Creta

History repeats itself in the Cretan
business as it does in everything else.
Fitz-Greene Halleck, in his poem, calm
wick Castle" published more than six
ty years ago, wrote:
The age of bargaining said Burke,
Has come; to-day the turbaned Turk
(Sleep, Richard of the lion heart!
Sleep on nor from your cerements start
Is England's friend and fast ally;
The Mosem tramples on the Greek,
And on the cross and altar stone,
And Christendom looks tamely on,
And hears the Christian maiden shrek,
And sees the Christian father die;
And not saber blow is given
For Greece and fame, for faith ano
heaven
By Europe's craven chivalry.
Halleck's indictment of Christian in
humanity might have been written to-
day as well as sixty years ago. The
situation has not changed in that long
period. Europes chivalry is as craven
now as it was then.

Rascality cares less for political prin-

politics affords. The rascal is usually
a wide-a wake man, and is overfiowing
with energy, which he turns to his own
account. If politics appears to him
to offer better field for his plans than
burglary he enters the race and seems
to be competing for honors, while in

Attenpt to Hold Up Santa Fe Traii
Results Disastrously.

Attezppt to Hold UP. . Santa Fe Train
Results Disastrously.
Los ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 10.-A dis.
patch has just been received to the eff
feet that the westbound Santa Fe train,
due at Los Angeles at 10 80 p. M, was
held up and robbed by two masked
men, near Nelson, small station about
six miles east of Peach Springs, A. T.
One of the robbers was killed by the
express messengers.
The train robbers stopped the train
by signalling, and as the engineer
stepped out of the cab to ascertain the
cause of the trouble, an armed masked
man commanded him to cut the engine
and run ahead quarter of a mile,
which he did. The robbers then
turned their attention to the mail car,
their command to open the door being
complied with. One robber entered
the car and began picking up the loose
registered packages. Therobber started
for the express Car then, but Messenger
Summers quickly opened the door and
with extraordinary GOODNESS, shot the
robber dead. The other man then es-
capped, taking with him a few registered
packages. The dead robber was taken
to Peach Springs, but has not yet been
identified.
