which undertakes the education Of the
blind along with other pupils.
The state has provided a special in
stitution for the eGucation Of blind
children and why should it incur the
additional expense Of equipping an
other school for them? IN the school
already created, ample provision has
been made or should be made for the

MARK TwAINs LAST
LINES A TRIBUTE
TO HIS DAUGHTER.

The January number Of Hafpers
Monthly contains the last lines that
Mark Twain wrote. 1t IS a heartfelt
tribute to his daughter who died about
year ago. The great writer penned
them on the day Of her death. He
wrote Of her in strain that is both
pathetic and whimsical, showing the
nature OF the man who could see a
humorous side Of all things, yet felt
deeply the sadness Of human life al
times. He wrote the following on
that day when It seemed to him as If
his only true friend and companion
had left him forever.

bright head and her competent hand.
The dog will not be neglected.
There was never kinder heart
than Jeans. From her childhood up
she always spent the most Of her
allowance on charities Of one kind
and another. After she became sec
retary and had her income doubled
she spent her money upon these
things with free hand. Mine too,
am glad and grately to say.

beasts and everything even snakes

knew all the birds; she was high up
in that love. She became member

she was still little girl--both here

outcome that the court was influenced

cree. When It was brought ont the
Judge butted in with the query, "Did
he offer it In installments or in a
lump sumg' This clearly indicates
that the court was predisposed in ia
yor Of the woman and an exhaustive
examination Of the point involved is
therefore all the more needful in order
that We may arrive at a fun under
standing OF the case
It is evident that the family's do
nestle troubles had their starting
point when the husband thoughtIessly,
unaware Of the consequences to which
II would lead, or simply out Of the
generosity Of his nature, inaugurated
tho policy Of giving his wife money
Possibly one day in a moment Of
weakness, his fond heart going out in
loving devotion to his spouse, he said
Darling, here is nickel for you.
The dear creature no doubt was filled
with gratitude at this manifestation
OF love by hubby and It wouldn't have
been so bad if the matter had ended
there, butit didn't Seeing the wifey
was SO pleased, the man seens q have

having once tasted Of the joys Of
spending she grew more and more
to expect periodical donations from
her husband, instead Of being content
to wait with patience Til her lord and
master was moved to give OF his own
good pleasure. Herein we can trace the
course Of the prime cause of the do
nestle discord which finally wrecked
the home.
While all the record does not appear
in the report of the case It is safe to
assume that the husband bore these
exactIons patiently as long as he could.
No doubt he sacrificed many cigar
and not a few drinks in order to be
able to meet the demands OF his wife
for money, but there was limit to
his forbearance Finally when the re-
quest came for money to go on visit,
he thought II was time to call halt,
but even then he was still unable to
check his own generous nature. In
stead Of abruptly refusing, he dug up
20 cents and forced it over. hiding the
secret pain in his heart and purse.
