a DEAF AND DUNE
B0E'S KEEN SIGHT

That the loss or impairment of
one of the FIVE senses renders
/ the other four keeper is a fact pret-
ty generally accepted.
A Baltimore gentleman IS the
father OF four childen. The old
est, a boy now about 10, was born
deaf and dumb. He was a preco-
cious child, and the age of 6 he
learned lip language so well that
he could understand the words thet
were being pronounced by watch
ing the mouth of the speaker.
This he could do with III entire
stranger. His vision is solnetlln q
marvellous both as to acuteness and
range. One night last week his
father took him to see a famous
magician who was then performing
in Baltimore. The hoy watched
half d dozen feats in legerdemain,
and then signifed to his father that
he wanted to go home. "This does
not interest me-" he said rapidly
with his fingers. "Why do these
people applauda What is there to
sect"
The parent VAS somewhat aston
ished. He thought the performance
world be in the nature OF treat.
Nevertheless, he complied with tie
request, and. with his son left the
theater. Then he asked him why
he Had net been ertertained.
Because" answered the boy in
Sign language, "that man picked
up a pack Of cards, took
e1e out and hid it under his
vest. Theu lie took z ccin and
pretended to swallow if, but kept
tin bis hand,'' and the rnute went
on and described eacn and every
trick he had witnessed. There was
no slight of hand about any of
eshein to him. HIS eye was so quick
that he detected the deception at
once, and, not knowing it was in
tended to be adeeeption, could mott
understand why people should
waste the time Watching man gel
through certain MOTORS.
This is an aetuaT< instance, and
proves that she eye can be edueat-
el to be quicker than tie hand.

THE MAN WITH THE HOE"

Elsewhere in today S paper will be
found Edwin Markham's wonderful
poem, 1.-The Man With the Hoe" This
poem bears the impresso Of genius. 1t
tells in thunder tones Of the cruel
wrongs of a Gallons world-the effect
Of mans inhumanity to man-the
influences of environment and hered-
ity. The picture is VIVID, and the
saddeSt thing about it all Is. it is true
sadly aud sorrowfu!ly true. Would
that it could be read in every tongue
and by every people where false
economies aud social conditions have
wrought the ruin and wreck of man
hood, which is 50 %strikingly portrayed
in this poem.
blown an the stretch of Hell to its last gulf
There Is NO shaia' more terrible than this
More tnigucd with ctii,ule of the worlds
blind grccd.--"
Aud we'll may we consider this
question:
How will it be with kingdoms and with
kings
With those who shaped him to the thing he
is
When this dread Terror shall reply to Cod
After tir silence of the centuries"
This poem is pregnant with sug-
scStions--it is a plea for the op-
pressed, and Il warning to the future
which M man eau afford to disregard.

1t is too ealry to discuss the sue
cessor of Y. S. Senator II. d. Money.
Suffice it to say, the people will act in
the matter at the proper time as
their judgment and sense of public
duty may dictate. 'You can fool all
the people some time, and some of
the people all the time, but you can
not fool all the people all the time"
The small pot-llouse politician will
not always reign in Mississippi,
There will be In awakening after
awhile.

JOHN M. ALLEN,

The fight which John NJ. Allen has
made in this state during the past
summer against cheap politics, DEM
agogy, dirt, filth, and general dam
fraudulency will bear good fruits
later. He went down before a NOR
bid public sentiment. but conscious
OF the correctness of his position lie
can wait for results. There is no
doubt but that he told the cruel
truth about the record Of his success
full opponent. 1t was the truth, the
whole truth aud nothing but the
truth, and had such truths been told
ten years ago of a nan asking favors
of the public, they would have
damned him %eternallv Some people
say that Allen defeated himself by
critici>ing McLaurin. To US this is
refined rot. 1T is "a reflection upon
The honesty and decency Of the peo-
pie. 1t what Allen said Of McLanrin
was true he should have said 1t. The
people had a right to know 1t. 1t
touched McLaurin's public record aud
was therefore public property. Allen
did his duty--lie did it well, and 1t
will not be long before the people of
Mississippi viii realize their mistake.
| believe John Allen to be as clean,
upright and honorable as l know
him to be able, fearless and patriotic.
