colonel and his party went to the auditorium and

of selfinvited Colorado deputy sheriffs, stood at
the rough board table and every time he reached

mouth there was perfect fusade of clicks from
the cameras that surrounded him. The photog-

chuck wagon those with little cameras in front,

had big machines high tripods 1t was in truth
comica sight, but the colonel did not seem to
mind it bit, and went on eating and talking with
the utmost enthusiasm.
The visit to Cheyenne, of course, gave the snap
shelters their best chances for picturesque views

time shaking hands with the cowboys cowgirls and
gaudy painted Indians, or applauding the work

In these days of specialists you can't just

for the blind. You have to take course of
training before you even do good in the world
In this position the task that requires most di-
plomacy is declining the services of people who
offer to entertain the blind. All sorts of ncom-
peents volunteer. Their intentions are good but
their achievements deporabe. Poor readers
are most numerous and are hardest to manage.
They have had no practise in reading aloud since
they left the lower grades in the grammar school
yet when the fires of benevolence break out that
is the first thing they want to do.

quality of a voice harsh, high pitched voice
