Dumb and Blind, l saw him coming up

He was following the curves OF the
winding way, walking briskly, with firm
assured step and swinging arms; and al

his eyes, | thought that it was done to

The firm closing of the hitherto smiling
lips and the resolute set of the sturdily
square young shoulders, convey the idea
that Thomas Morrisons s "best" will be
something really worth while. 1t will be
the outcome of a courage and determine

And then he spoke again of his hone

So this was the blind student who, in
spite OF the misfortune which has
shadowed his existence, has already
proved himself to be endowed with cx-
ceptional talents, and has planned out his
future on lines never before ventured upon
by a sightless person.

he talked, answering my questions mod

for the past thirteen years there is yet no
hint of shadow on his handsome boyish
face. His smile is ready and bright and
his laugh rings out merrily on occasion.
Evidently be has spent little time in re-
p!ning over his hard fate; instead, he has
bravely applied himself to making the
most of every opportunity which has
come to him, and the future seems 10 him
full of promise.

Rawlins was elected on the fifty third

political contest ever held In the state.
II was such a contest as could not have
taken place in amy other state. owing to
the peculiar features which were
brought into uhe contest This was
what might be called "church day In
the joint assembly church talk was m
jected into the proceedings 90 often and
50 persistently that several times the
presiding officer had to call attention TO
the fact that II was a civil body for the
purpose Of transacting state affairs
Consultations between Henderson and
Rawllns men before the bailoting this
morning showed plainly that something
important would take place and word
was passed around that h was to be
Rawlins' day. On the first ballot
Thatcher lost one vote. while Rawlins
gained six from Henderson. putting
him at the top Of the list A recess
was then taken to D. m. and when
the assembly convened again over an
hour was lost on the efforts made by
the Thatcher men trying to force an
adjournment
Nearly all Of Thatcher's friends made
open charges Of church influence

ponents were vehement in their denial
Of the charges. Rideout made vigor-
