A GENIUS, BUT BLIND
Cottage Erected by This
Sightless Wonder.
TRY" IS HIS GOOD MOTTO
And by Observing 1t, William
Settle Has Accomplished
Many TriumphS.

Glasgow, KY, August 12.-Glasgow
has one of the most remarkable men
in the United States in the person
of William Settle, who is totally blind
Settle, who is a graduate of the
Kentucky institution for the educa-
ton of the blind, first came into pub
lie notice some 10 years ago when he
made a proposition to the people of
Glasgow that if they would present
him with a lot he would build a
home on it, doing the work himself.
In order to assist an ambitious but
unfortunate young man, committee
was organized and the money raised
to purchase the lot. Settle selected a
lot fronting 20 feet on Front street
and running back 300 feet and it was
purchased for 1915. In building his
cottage ON this lot Settle cut the raf-
tiers, put down the floors and in fact
did all the carpenter work, but his
chief delight was in the cabinet work,
such as making and putting up ban
listers, windows and doors. All Of the
joints are perfect and the work he
did shows good taste and bears no
scars made by the misuse of his tools.
BY trade Settle is broom maker
and he has a large contract with
wholesale house here that uses his
entire output and would gladly use
more, as the brooms are far superior
to the average ones. He Is of an in
ventive turn of mind and possesses
much talent along that line. He is the
inventor of a very valuable machine
designed for the cabinet and carpen-
ter work.
About three months ago very i'm
pressive idea presented itself to Set
tie and has been successfully carried
out, to the establishment of his most
intimate friends. From a thin board
Mr.. Settle carved three fancy letters
and had them painted in silver bronze
He fastened the letters to board 10
by 81 inches, with a background of
black, bordered with gold bronze, max
ing an attractive piece of work. He
secured this to the end Of a heavy
steel bar six feet long and chose the
midnight hour in which to go to the
highest part of his metal roof, where
he fastened it securely with iron rods.
The braces were scientifically fastened
to the roof and to the perpendicular
bar and the next morning the word
try appeared above the house built
by the blind man. The neatness of
the design and the inspiration 1t sug-
gests has been a subject of much
praiseworthy comment.
Settle is a close student of the hui
man voice and is also a great lover of
music. He can take any part of the
ordinary reed organs apart, even the
complicated octave couplings, and he
has never found any instrument too
hard for him to repair. His success
in life is attributed to self-reliance
and to following his motto, TRY" He
uses a typewriter for his correspond
ence, and in matter of speed and
neatness his work compares favorably
with that of the average person.

When healthy man or woman

Accidentally Poisoned.

About 9. 80 o clock this morning
Miss Virginia Ruiz, young lady
aged % years, had narrow escape
from death by poisoning. She was
taking medicine and in error got a
bottle similar in appearenre but
which contained laudnum. She
took one spoonful OF the laudnum
and finding she had made an error
informed her peopleofthe fact. DR..
Combe was summoned, and by
the use of proper remedieus soon
had the young lady out of danger.
The incident was magnifed
many times in the course OF the
day by idle tonges, and at one time
it was believed around town that
double suicide had been com
mitted.

WHO SToLEoUR THUNDER

The new man who yields the
editorial pencil on THE HERALD a
few days ago ran across what
struck him as a good article on the
alfalfa industry in the Brownsville
country published in the Texas
Farm and Ranch and which pur-
Dorted to be an interview held by
the San Antonio Express with
Marshall Beck of Moline, Illinois.
The interview with Mr.. Beck took
place in THE BROWNSVILLE HER
AID Office, and was published first
in THE HERALD May Ii. 1t was
reprinted by the San Antonio Elk
press and copied from the Express
Iby Farm and Ranch and credited
TO the former. The new editorial
writer on THE HERALD was not
aware that the article had been
printed in these columns before
and he uawitringly unveiled the
plagiarism practiced by the San
Antonio Express by copying The
HERALD's own article with the
credit to the Express. This will
account for the article on the al
falfa industry appearing twice in
this paper. THE HERALD feels
-complimented. of course, that the
Express should consider its copy
worth appropriating, but when Il
does publish something worth
while like most other mortals, II
NATURALLY likes to get the credit.

Wax Eor hardwood Floor.

Melt half pound of beeswax and
add to it quart of turpentine
which has been made more than
blood warm by standing in an outer
vessel of boiling water for fifteen
minutes, closely covered. Mix well,
stir in half a cupful of ammonia, fit
on a lid, set the vessel containing
the mixture back into the pot of
boiling water and at the side of the
range to keep hot while you are
using it. 1t is better for being
warm all the time you are applying
it. Rub into the floor with old fan

A Couple Of Recipes For Keeping Cider
Sweet.

A Couple Of Recipes For Keeping Cider
Sweet.
Allow three-fourths of a pound of
sugar to each gallon of cider, the
whites of six eggs, well beaten, and
a handful of common salt. Leave
it open until fermentation ceases,
then bung up. This process a deal
er of cider has used for years and
always successfully, says the Bos-
ton Traveller.
Another way to keep cider sweet
is to allow it to work until it has
reached the state most desirable to
the taste and then add one and a
half tumblers of grated horseradish
to each barrel and shake up well.
This arrests further fermentation.
After remaining a few weeks rack
off and bung up closely in clean
casks.

TARIFF REDUCTION .

The good imported from Ger
many are virtually under the new
agreement allowed to enter at the
value certified by the German
Chambers of Commerce. Thus the
duty on German goods is less than
that expected upon the products of
other countries which are subject
to an ad valorem rate of duty, be-
cause the lower the value at which
imports are appraised the less the
duty. Until we allow France, Eng
land and other countries the same
favor, it can hardly be called a
square deal. The Manufacturers

object to this agreement with Ger

NEW TRICK OF BEEF TRUST

The mollycoddle plan of prosecu-
ting the Beet Trust that the Ad-
miistration attempted has evidently
had no effect on the Beef Barons.
Nothing but an indictment under
the criminal section of the anti
trust law will bring them to time
They are evading the beef inspec-
ton law by compelling the farm
ers to stand the ross on "cow
stuff" that has been thrown out
by the inspectors, although the
beef trust buyers selected and
bought the cows which were appar-
entity sound and healthy. The stock
growers have taken alarm and are
holding back their cattle from
market and in consequence the
price of beef has been advanced
both wholesale and retail. Thus
the consumers have to pay the cost
of inspection thanks to the Repub-
lican majority in control of Con
sress the loss on cattle rejected by
the inspection.
