Blind Leads the Blind.

Among the inmates of the
county farm are two blind men.
one OF whom is Willis Ray.
Since the terrible accident
which cost him his sight, Willis
has developed the other senses
to remarkable degree. He
makes frequent trips to this
city a distance of several miles,
walking along almost as rapid
ly and with as SurefOOted GER
tainly as one wi o saw the road
he was travelling, " hen he
reaches town he visits various
places going here and there
with no one to direct him, and
rarely making even the slightest
mistake in direction or distance
Lately he has taken to escort
ing his fellow blind inmate to
town and to see him finding the
way for the other and guiding
him around corners and over
street crossings is pathetic. 1t
is a case of the blind leading the
blind.
On the way home, when they
have passed the city limits and
Willis knows that the road lies
straight ahead of them they fail
into conversa ion and laugh and
chat as though he soft blue f
the autumn sky and the flaming
naples by the Mayside had the
same charm for them as it has
for the seeing world that sur
rounds them on every hand.
And so they pass over The hills
the blind leading the blind, and
he is sorry sort of "A man in

solitary figures trudging along,
each in his own darkness, with
out feeling sense of pity and d
sense of thanksgiving that God
ha- not found it wise to shut of

BIRD BABIES FEEDING TIME
Food by Fond Mother, Who Is
Only Protection.

"When | first crawled in among
the bushes close to the nest, the
little mother darted at me and
poised Il foot from my nose, as if
to stare me out of countenance.
She looked me all over from head
to foot twice, then she seemed con
vinced that l was harmless, says
William Lowell Finley, in the
Country Calendar. She whirled
and sat on the nest edge. The
bantlings opened wide their hun
CRY mouths. She spread her tail
like flicker, and braced herself
against the nest side. She craned
her neck and drew her dagger-like
bill straight up above the nest,
She plunged il down the baby's
throat to the hilt, and started Il
series of gestures that seemed
fashioned to punctuate him to the
toes. Then she stabbed the other
baby until it made me shudder. Ii
looked like the murder of infants.
But they were not mangled and
bloody; they were getting a
square meal after the usual hum
mingbird method of regurgita
ton. Then ran out their slender
tongues to lick the honey from
their lips. How they liked it
Then she settled down and rufflet
up her breast feathers to let hel
babies cuddle close to her naket
bosom. Occasionally she reache,
under to caress them with whis
perings of mother love-"

INDIANS KILLING OFF GAME
Right to Hunt on Reservations Often
Abused by the Red War
riors.

Sportsmcn returning from
hunting in the vicinity of northern
Minnesota Indian RESERVATIONS
tell in the Duluth Herald of th"
scarcity of game in certain sec
tions which can be accounted for
only ON the theory that the Ind,
ans have been killing the animals
during the fall and early summer,
both on and of their reserves. The
city men are indignant that this
should be so. They claim to have
positive proof from the settlers to

After taking his lands from
him, or most of them. il would III
become the government if il did
not allow the Indian the privilege
of hunting at all seasons when
wild game is eatablc. This priv
ilege is accorded him. but only on
the reservations. He is not sup
posed to hunt at all in the outside
forests unless such hunting is
done in the open season for game
and some so read the law that hC
has not the right to kill game al
any time unless hunting in he res

The Indians know the law ant
are careful to see that they ar,
not caught breaking it, though il
many instances they live so fal

have become careless and Opei
violations are said to be frequent
But even in cases of this kind it il
no easy matter to secure convic

man be arrested, it is difficult t,
get proof against him. The red
men are careful to protect one o

cially in affairs of this kind.

pays little or no attention to sue

WASP BECOMES A HUNTER,

On this errand she may be seen

certain, revulsion of sentiment
concerning the Great Moral In
stitution-which term now passes
current as a synonym of the dis
pensary-in many eectiors of the
state has greatly troubled the
waters of the political sea. The
man who contemplates asking for
the suffrage Of the people twelve
months hence stands, with knitted
brow, perplexed with this ques-
ton: "Must I oppose or favor
the dispensary"? During the past
decade those who have aspired to
Office have not been confronted
with this question, for there was
but one course to pursue: that of
vindicating the dispensary and
bcot-licking its officials, from III
