Recognition by Touch

THIS reminds that, although she recognizes
friend instantly by the shaking of hands even in
the midst of large crowd she can easily be deceived
by false and unwonted manner on the part of the
person she knows. Since she does not see nor hear,
she depends the personal characteristics, in
movement, in the way of presenting withdraw
ing hand, in its special quality of steadiness
tremor, OF slowness and lethargy, quickness and
nervousness, all of which totally overlook unless
they are of a marked character. There is miracle
OF subtle skill about her perception-it is simply
the exercise of the faculties she possesses.
When Helen goes to work, she works. As her
face has nothing to do but express her feelings, it
continually wears as she studies, look of patient
and wellcOntented concentration When she writes
on the typewriter, or on the Braille" machine
the little apparatus which pricks the points used
in the point-writng of the blnd-the expression
on her face continually changes, rejecting the
thoughts that are passing through her mind.
She has the fault of tense concentration-the liza
bilty to stick obstinately to that she has
committed. A blunder, made in the course of
close study has to be educated of her head by

At the Table

SHE thinks of the table as place where everybody
~ is having good time and seeks to join in this
good time at once. Of course the person next her,
who is presumably her teacher (once Annie NJ. Sui
Ivan, now Mrs. John Albert Macy, or some other
friend who communicates with her in the sign
language for the deaf made upon her hand, where
she feels the positions of the fingers must act her
for what is said; and her words are in her
half-chanted, peculiarly uttered speech OF course,
she does not know when others speaking, and
depends the fact being signified to her by her
neighbor She waits with smile of sweet patience
until others are silent. Sometimes in merry com
of way; and when she speaks what she says is
always well worth listening to- and generally starts
the table off on another tack with it's suggestion.
Yet it is odd thing that ones talk is less
retrospective less egotstc less of the talker than
Helen Kellers. She is plainly thinking herself into
the people around her. What they have been say
ing and doing, what they going to do,
what their ideas are about this, that or the
other thing-this is her ordinary theme.
She is fond of relating story, or repeat
ing wtticism clever thought that she
has read. | have never seen a person who

Helen has lived more in the world of
intellect or of communicated mental i'm
pressionS, than in the world of sense. She
has been a scholar most of her life so far
and, even than other attentive and
diigent students, has spent much time in
the reflected inner world of ideas. But she is
no sooner up in the morning than her fingers

tions begin to open to the world of sense

Conceive yourself, if you can, getting up some
morning in a world which is totally dark totally
silent. You sit on the edge of bed. You feel it.
Something is under your feet that is hard. But
what is beyond what is above what is about you?
You cannot say which way you-wi go-there is no
way.
This is the situation of one of the most habtua1ly
cheerful and of the ceverest and brightest of
human beings: Helen Keller. Day after day |
have seen this girl start out on her daily life, and
have tried to put myself in her place she stood
before me with her hab1tual sweet smile on her
faCe-and have never been able to do | only

Helen'S inward mental world is in which
others eyes and ears have served her; but when
she confronts the physical outside world only her
feet and her fingers can be of use to her So she
begins with the spot where she is, and feels her way
to the place where she wants to go. This involves,
general thing, following around the outside of
the room.
She is not good at short cuts, though that other
deaf-blind person, Tommy Stringer, apparently pos
sesses absolute sense of direction that enables
him to run like a shot across a room, doOryard,
or the open space of barn. Helen seems to arrive
at sense of direction only by reasoning out the
relation in space of known object to another.
She follows around the side of the she knows
best of ALL locating herself by well-remembered OBJ
jects on the walls and shelves.
No one comes in blither mood to the table than
Helen Keller. Her little righteousness there may
trouble her nwardly; but she good-naturedly puts
them aside as things not worthy of any show of
attention from herself or others, thereby uncon-
sciously rebuking the form of egotsm by which
constantly ask the pardon of others for little
awkwardnesses and blunders.

To of these people it has been necessary to re-
fuse her Nothing else would have been possible.
But her natural tendency is to welcome all, from
pure trlendllneSS and innate courtesy
Her happiest moments all day are spent IN human
intercourse. As she places her fingers to the lips
of visitor to feel the positions into which the vocal
organs put, and thus to hear" the words, it is
plain that her expectation is fixed not upon this
process but upon the thoughts that she has reason
to anticipate. And the sentences shape them
selves she has little trick of making quick starts
of pleased surprise.
1t is exactly the same when the words are read
into her hands by those who employ with her the
finger language of the deaf. Several people have
learned to this language with her with great
rapidity. But she never it herself, except
when she is alone and meditatng, and is formulat-
ing ideas by the aid of words. Her answers to the
shorthand of the fingers, we'll to the spoken
words that she follows with her fingers upon the
lips are always vocal--in her half-singing some
what hollow, grooming voice which she herself has
never heard.
Her greatest, widest pleasure is swimming Is
it because the water coming close to her, infold
ing her all about, shutting out the things that other
people see, duling the things they hear, pressing
upon her sense of touch just it does upon the
senses of all other people, gives her feeling of pos
session of the material world from which she is de-
barred in the open air and in the hollow houses
that strange and only half known to her? | do
not know that this has ever been her conscious
thought; but perhaps she feels it, nevertheless.
She has never been inclined to discuss her
psychology.
1 shall not forget the day when woman who
believes in telepathy, and the Inward Eye, and all
such occult notions, came to Helen. This
woman had long been seeking the opportunity, and
at last fate placed it in her hands. She had the
DRY to prove. She asked Helen thousand ques-
tons; she tried all kinds of teepathic experiments;
she had the people who were present concentrate
their thought and will power on influencing Helen
to do thngs-and absolutely nothing happened.
Heen's courteous, puzzled desire to do what the
woman wanted of her, and her innocent attempts
to comprehend what it all about, were delic-
iously, pathetically absurd.
There is not the first beginning of anything occult
in the operations of her mind though not all of it's
operations yet scientifically explained.
All the second sight" she has is the direct
and natural product of great deal of careful,
well-organized concentration of mind.

All the second sight she has is the direct
and natural product of great deal of careful,
well-organized, concentration of mind.
Delight in Reading
HELEN'S most beautiful moments, both as
they seem to affect her own state and as
they impress her friends, are the half-hours-
hours sometimes-at the end of the day, that
she passes reading her books, not for the pur-
pose of study, but of inward delight.
A considerable library of books has been
put into the raised letters, just for her. That
is to say, the interest of certain men of wealth
and generosity in her case has led them to
appropriate the large of money which it
takes to put considerable number of books
into the raised letter; but all blind people
get the benefit of these publications. When,
upon completion just for her, the books take
their way to her happy hands, they also go
to the libraries of the blind institutions. Thus
the fame OF her case has resulted in a vast
addition to the pleasures and the knowledge
of the blind.
AS the raised letters intended to be read by
the blind are large and embossed, and imprinted
upon one side of the paper only, a small book in
lary print makes large book in raised letters.

The Crime Of 1900.

From the innocent lips Of WILLIAM
JENNINGS BRYAN, Jr., come the fatal
words:
Il LEFT father In Vienna. HI was getting some
clothes made
A trier-on in Vienna; getting some
clothes made! What do the farmers
and the plain people, the producing
classes and the d~owntrodden millions
what do they think of that? Time and
feeding have expanded Mr.. BRrAN's
once romantic form, but when he left
these shores American clothes were
good enough for him, a simple agri-
culturist from Fairview Farm. Native
shears, native needles, a native goose,
carried out the designs of a native artist.
The great American was enveloped in
American garments. .
8 And now the Greatest Conservative
Force goes to n Of the gayest and
wickedest Of cities, to the haunts of a
proud, effete and corrupt aristooraoy,
where archdukes are as thick as grass
hoppes used to be in Nebraska before
the invention Of the Dingley tariff and
Of the hopperdozer. His suspenders are
imperial. Imperialistic trousers clasp
the legs that have been around the world.
To show his contempt of home industries
he dons foreign clothes.
Where is the Home Market Club in
this awful hour? The nefarious designs
Of the free traders have W had a
more sinister example than Mr.. BRYAN
gives, He is false to his country and
to the Nebraska tailors. The Crime Of
1905 will not be forgotten in the cam
naign.of 1908.

Justice for s%chooIboys.

The Senate has passed and the House
now has under consideration a bill au-
thorizing the President to reappoint to
the Naval Academy such Of the mid
shipmen recently dismissed for hazing
"as in his Judgment may be so reap
pointed without prejudice to the inter-
ests Of the naval service" It is a sensible
bill. The House should follow the SEN
ate's example and pass IL.
Dismissal from the service was a pun
ishment wholly out Of proportion TO the
offences these young men committed,
but under the law as 1t stood at the time
they were convicted no other penalty
could be inflicted on them. This stupid
law has been repealed, and in future the
authorities will be able to punish hazers
as much or as little as they deserve. 1t Is
safe to say that not for many years to
come will the extreme punishment of
dismissal be resorted to.
Since the court-martial the subject Of
hazing has ceased to trouble the worthy
persons whom it seriously agitated a few
months ago. In this period Of calm the
victims Of an unwise statute should
receive fair treatment.

Will the Car Silence the Duma?

Although reports differ as to the way
in which the event will come about, it
looks as if the complicated and strained
relations between NICHOLAS II. and Rus
sia's popular assembly will not be ad-
justed permanently by peaceful means.
There is a deepening conviction that the
Gordian knot will be cut within a fort
night. According to n telegram the
Duma Is to be dissolved; while accord
ing to another, the court party would
rather see it prorogued till October,
though even this relatively mild ex-
pedient has not yet been sanctioned by
the sovereign.
There is no doubt that not only on
technical but also on substantial grounds
it would be judicious to resort to proro-
CATION rather than commit a trenchant
and defiant act like dissolution. Under
the so-called fundamental law, "promul-
gated shortly before the Duma convened,
the Car has the self conferred right to
prorogue that body at his discretion.
Moreover, the peasant members, who are
numerous, would naturally, under normal
circumstances, like to be at their homes
during seed time and the harvest season.
Then again, the official solution of the
agrarian problem, if it were adroitly
framed to propitiate the mujiks, might
bring about during the summer a revul-
sion toward their former loyalty, and
they might assemble in the autumn in a
more tractable temper. There is another
less allowable reason which might have
weight with the rea%ctionists. In the
existing uncertainty regarding the ex-
tent to which the army has become
tainted with disaffection it might be pru-
dent to wait until its fidelity shall have
been subjected to some conclusive test
before offering an u~nmistakable chal-
lenge to the revolutionists.
We may take for granted that if an at
tempt were made to dissolve the Duma
that body would declare itself in perma-
nent session, and that if it were then
dispersed by force many if not most Of
its members would contrive to meet
elsewhere. By such a high handed deed,
too, the Government would expose itself
to severe condemnation at the hands of
public opinion, not only in Russia, but
all wei Europe. French bankers might
not unreasonably claim that the latest
loan made by them was obtained under
false ~pretenoes; for a fundamental con-
dition was that it, together with it's pred
e~cessors, should be sanctioned by a
national assembly. No steps to that
end have yet been taken by the Russian
peoples representatives, because it is
well understood that 30 long as they
