Blind From Birth.

It would be of great interest to know
how much Helen Keller, losing her
sight at nineteen months, really retain.
ed of the sense Of sight. With Laura
Bridgman, a woman Of much less in.
tellect, there was evidently little or
nothing left, even rs a memory. With
her taste and smell were very feeble,
so that communication with the world
was, indeed, through a narrow pas
sage. Her sensitiveness to vibration
was SO fine that without any trace of
the sense of hearing she was aware of
the tolling of a bell. But her biogra-
pher, giving us in detail the record of
the slow steps of her education, tells
us little of what idea she was able to
form Of things. 1t is Schopenhauer
who gives n hint Of what we all
want to know Of the born blind. He
says that a man blind from birth to
whom sight was given by an operation
put his hand to his eye to grasp there
and not In their place the things he
saw.-London Chronicle.

The Crumnet Story.

Oliver Wendell Holmes protested to

possibly on account of what he used
to call 1.-THE European aborigines of
America" being Dutch. He gave an
aspect Of slyness to his respect which
Inspired the idea that it was not I'M
tempered by humor, but he maintained
that the Dutch, in spite of their stolidi-
ty. had a great deal of humor them
selves. "For instance" he would say,
"the crumpet story has a Dutch orr

LEAVE OF ABSENCE
May Be Extended to En-
try Men, =

The following telegram was received
at the Dickinson United States land
office Monday morning:
Washington, D. c., Jan. 10, 1907.
Register and Receiver,
Dickinson, N. d.
Gentlemen: Homestead settlers in
your district are granted leave of absence
from their land for a period of three
months from January 18th, provided that
the period of actual absence shall not be
deducted from the full time of residence
required by law; application for leave
not necessary.
G.. F. POLLOCK,
Acting Commissioner.
A Washington dispatch to the Pioneer
Press of January III, said:
President Roosevelt having signed the
joint resolution uf congress authorizing
three months absence by homestead set
tiers in four or five states in the North
west during the three months OF the
severe winter season without making the
entry men Ii BILE to lose their lands, a
new question has arisen whether the
provisions Of this new law apply to entry
men who have not yet taken up resi-
dence.
Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota,
chairman of the public lands committee,
today had kilograms sem to the local
land offices in North Dakota advising
these officials of the new law becoming
operative, and i%nstructing them that It
does not apply t. persons who have filed
applications for entry but have not vet
gone upon the lands.
Senator Hansbrough believes that
such entry men should be embraced
within the terms of the law, because it is
unreasonable to suppose that if condi
tons are such that homesteaders cannot
remain on their lands that entry men
should be compelled to take up their

The White Headed Boy,

The phrase "his mothers white head
ed boy" is as old as the hills in Ire.
land. 1t appears in many Of the Irish
fairy stories Of the last century. Irish
mothers who knew good fairies always
kept the secret for the white headed
boy" Of the family. Gerald Griffin in
one Of his best short stories years ago
used the phrase as n he had Dor.
rowed from an old Celtic book.
