How Helen Keller "sees."

Think OF one blind and deaf from
early childhood who finds the world
"alive. ruddy. and satisfying" That Is
Helen Keller's own expression: and
certainly 1t is a unique and important
human document which is promised in
her essays on Sense and Sensibility,"
the first to appear in the February
Century. Here she tells. to the world
for the first time. how she sees" and
hears:
"How can the world be shriveled
when this most profound. emotional
sense, touch. is faithful to Its service?
I am sure that II a fairy bade me
choose between the sense OF sight and
that Of touch. would not part with
the warm. endearing contact Of human
hands or the wealth Of form, the no.
bility and fullness that press into my
palms.

Even the prosaic washing of dishes
has been a subject of scientific investi-
cations. In the interests of the MI
crobe-fearing mortal, Christiani and
Michele. Swiss bacteriologists, have
tested the effect on germs present Of
different methods Of washing. such as
az simply wiping glasses with ster-
ilized cloth, (2) rinsing with cold
water and wiping with no particular
care. and (3) thoroughly washing and
rinsing in fresh water and carefully
drying. They find that the partial
washing or wipins SO common In ho-
tel. restaurant and family kitchens
leaves the germs practically un-
touched. Thoroughly washing. even in
cold or lukewarm water. with vigorous
wiping. may remove practically all
bacteria; and safety is the more alb
solute the nearer the water Is to boil
ing. Dissolving two per cent. of car
Donate of soda in the water makes
sterilization still more thorough.

Indianapolis Mitchell an
nounced to the convention of the
United Mine Workers Of America Mon
day that hs did not desire to hold any
ofIice In the organization after his re-
tirement as president April 1st. This
will stop a movement to have him
placed at the head Of an advisory
board.
He asked that his friends give their
loyal and undivided support to his sue
cessor. saying:

have been president in fact as well as

the same opportunities to carry out his
policies"

addressed the convention. He attrib-
uted all of the strikes and troubles In
the Western lead. coal and gold mines
to the operators failure to keep their
contracts with the miners.
He charged the operators with the
destruction of property by the use OF
explosives. in order to prejudice pub
lie opinion and lay the blame on the
miners. He painted graphic pictures
OF the bull pens" established by the
state and military authorities, which
he said have been subservient to the
operators.
Colorado" he said, "is as mean as
all the other states boiled down. Cor
porations control the courts there, de-
bauch the Legislature and run the cleo
tions to suit themselves"
Mr. Haywood pleaded for closer
relationship between the Western
Federation OF Miners and the Mine
Workers of America. He asked not
only for the financial support of the
United miners but for moral support
as well. He asked that all coal min
ers have their contracts expire at the
same time. so they can give each other
mutual support.
President Mitchell addressed the
convention after Haywood closed. He
pathetic strikes.

conditions as closely as any man." he
said "and have not seen any benefit
accrue from sympathetic strikes.
Should the Western Federation of
Miners ask us to go on a strike to aid
their strike, we would ask naturally
What will We get out of II? What good
will accrue to us? l do not see that It
would do us any good to have the met
alliferous miners on strike II we
coal miners were out on n strike. Coal
can be mined when gold miners are
not working. but gold cannot be mined
II there is no coal"
Mr.. Mitchell admitted that in ex-
treme cases sympathetic strikes would
materially assist in the accomplish.
mcnt of labor purposes and in such
cases he would advocate II. He
thought closer relationship should ex-
list between the Mine Workers and the
Western Federation OF Miners and sug-
gested n commission to define what
these relation should be.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT FROM CLEVELAND.
The Good People Of That Place Justly
Proud Of theResuIt.

On 5he day of election, May
26th, tho ladies of.the w. G. T. U.
of Cleveland arranged for an all
day prayer service for the voters
of the county and State and, e.
pecially for those of Cleveland
township. Earnest prayer was
made that every voter might stand
by the right and against the man
ufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors.
Church bells were rung every
hour from sunrise to sunset to re-
mind the voters that the women
were praying for them. Banners
to that effect were placed at tho
polls.
The service was held at tho
Baptist church in the forenoon
and the Presbyterian in the after
noon. Most of the women of the
place were in the building at
some time of the day. They visit
ed the polls in a body in the
evening and sang religious songs
till sunset, when they returned
to the church and adjourned.
The evening of May 27, the W. c.
7. U. had praise service thank
ing God for His goodness and
graciousness to us as Great-giver
of much good.
Plans were also made by the
members, aided by some gentle-
men who came in, IN regard to a
general rejoicing and torch light
procession that night. Arrange
ments we're made for the Taylors.
Vile band to come and play for
the children to form procession
behind the band with all other
persons following. The process
sion formed at the station and
from there paraded the town with
general rejoicing and songs. The
band did excellent service and
was heard with delight. After
the parade. Jas. Anderson, of
Statewide, gave a short talk
which was much appreciated.
After this the crowd which was
not only Cleveland people, but
people from all around in the
country, dispersed with the feel
ing of thankfulness that our
grand Old North State had fought
the right fight for God, home
and native land. Xxx
