To his fathers eyes and his moth
ers, moist at times with sudden
tears, Tom seemed just a quiet, deli
cate. kind child, feeling his way along
the wainscOting to his favorite corner,
sitting amidst his building blocks and
mssical toys. conversing in a mono
tone to himself. grooming his own
songs
Red is Barns,
And Blue is Skies,
And Green is Grass,
If you've got eyes,
For months the boy had had a
hope in his heart, hope which had
taken the form of a prayer. Each
night before he fell asleep he re-
hearsed this prayer on his pillow
and after lie fell asleep he dreamed
in anguish of the night when he
should make the test of it. In the
dream he saw the Christmas wreaths
hanging by the fireplace he saw the
empty fireplace itself; he saw his
own figure kneeling before it, his
hands outstretched he saw his lips
move in repetition of his prayer. And
then, invariably. he fell into a sound
sleep and dreamed no more
What the answer to his prayer was
remained mystery yet night after
night he rehearsed it, month after
month he waited patiently, silently,
even devoutly for the time.
How he had come by this idea was
astonishing; it was so simple he WON
dered he had not thought of it in the
years gone by. :. A careless remark
of his fathers Certainly, Tom.

That faith had burnt in his head
like fever ever since. And so the
rlonths rolled by, and mysterious,
unearthly, bewitching, came Christ
mas eve. The blind boy lay in his
trundle-bed, staring into the shad-
cws of his BRAIN His little fists were
cienched, his little body unconscious
ly rigid in an ecstasy of longing. Over
and over in his mind his prayer, like
wall, repeated itself.
His mother pleaded with him soft
ly he would not sleep. Hour after
hour the Angels of Sound brought
from the great hall clock the news of
the approach of midnight mid
hight of terror to little Tom.

There is one wonderful spectacle
at Christmas-time, more wonderful
than any other spectacle we may see
on earth and that is the spectacle
of a whole world asking for some
thing. Millions upon millions of us,
with each his own desire. asking that
it be fulfilled Asking with greedy
eyes or asking out of sad hearts
hopefully. Asking aloud with CHEEKY
voices or asking in silence a
wish born under cover and kept on
the hidden, under side of things. See
the great spectacle of millions on
their knees before the giving God, pc
titioning devoutly for something a
new doll. a mans life, bit of meat
to eat. And the Christmas angel. who
does the bidding of the giving God,
disposes as God disposes.
Little Tom had not always been
blind. He could remember vaguely
a dream-time in his life when the
glory and mystery of color had ap-
peared before his eyes. Then the
darkness came and he was left only
with those memories. What was
color ? What made it /? For hours he
used to sit. generally in corners out
of the way of his mothers hurrying
feet, and he used to muse upon what
he had once seen. Red. Green, Blue
- what were they?
He was quiet little tad. And of
course he did a great deal of sub
dued talking and singing to himself.
He liked to make up songs, and the
one he made up about the colors was
his favorite he would Groom it over
and over:
Red is Barns,
And Blue is Skies.
And Green is Grass.
If you've got eyes.
Hour after hour he would sit thus,
nodding his head, eating his toy
blocks together with his thin. deli
cate hands. When his mother knelt
down and patted his close-cropped
blond hair, Tom would catch her face
suddenly and kiss her soft cheek. To

STUDENT VOTING.

The arrest of professor at the
University of Illinois on the charge of
swearing in illegal student voters has
again given rise to the subject of stu
dent voting This question was the
basis of much discussion. many
threats and accusations during the
local option campaign in Columbia.
The law in most states is very in
definite regarding the question of STU
dent voting. Particularly is this SO
in Missouri There is one clause in
the Missouri constitution bearing
upon this point. In Section of Ar
ticle we find this:
For the purpose of voting, no per-
son shall be deemed to have gained a
residence by reason of his presence.
or lost il by reason of his absence
..., while a student of any insti-
tuition of learning
A student may become bona fide
resident of the place where the COL
lege is located. however. under GER
tain circumstances, according to the
best legal information. 1t depends
upon the facts in the case. says the
Encyclopedia of Law and Procedure.
If the student has no intention of re-
naming in the place permanently but
has another home to which he intends
to return after his sojourn at college,
he is not a resident and has no right
to vote. But the undergraduates of a
college, who are free from parental
control and regard the place where
the college is situated as their home,
having no other to which to return in
case of sickness or domestic affliction
are as much entitled to vote as any
other resident of the place where the
college is located.
The statement of the law that no
person shall be deemed to have
gained or lost his residence by reason
of his presence or absence while a
student, does not necessarily mean
that a voter may not change his legal
residence into a new district in spite
of the fact that he becomes a student
in an institution of learning therein;
but the facts to establish such a
change must be wholly Independent
and outside of his presence in the new
district as a student and should be
very clear and convincing to over
come the natural presumption. This
is the opinion expressed in the En-
cyclopedia of Law and Procedure, in
McCrary's book on Elections and
other works on the subject.
The Supreme Court of Missouri
rendered decision in the case of
Hall VS.. Schoenecke. involving the
right of certain students of Tarkio
College to vote. The court said:
Each case must depend upon the
facts. There is no doubt that a stu
dent may become a resident of the
place where the college is located,
though he went there only for the
purpose of attending school. Whether
he has done so or not depends upon
all the facts and circumstances. The
fact that he is supported and main
tanned by his parents and spends his
vacation with them is a strong. but
not necessarily conclusive circum-
stance to prove that he has not
changed his residence. The question
is largely one of intention. though as
to this the evidence of the party him
self is not necessarily conclusive
The law of the state should be more
definite on the point of student vOt-
ing. Many contests in the courts fol-
lowing every election would thereby
be eliminated.

GOVERNOR DONAGHEY.

George w. Donaghey acted as most
strong minded and red-blooded men
would have acted when he became a
candidate for third nomination for
governor Of Arkansas. Blocked in
his worthy purposes to complete the
new capitol and reform the revenue
system of the state so that taxation
might be made more equitable and
public expenditures brought within
the receipts, he appealed to the peo-
pie.
They have given their verdict
against him. He made the enemies
and aroused the opposition that, in
J greater or less degree, will be the lot
of any man who serves as governor.
Some of his good acts were used
against him. When he vetoed appro-
priations that would only have
run the state further into debt
he gave opportunity for the
hostile accusation to be made
that he was opposed to the purposes
for which these appropriations were
designed. And there was public talk
as though the money was in the treas
ury, but the governor was opposed to
its being spent; whereas, the COVER
nor wanted to see the money spent,
but used the veto because the money
was not in the treasury to spend.
But Geo. w. Donaghey can well be
content with the honors of two terms
as governor; the more because he was
privileged to leave in the new capitol
stone upon stone, as a memorial to
the work of his hands while in the
public service. And the state will
have to come to some measure of rev.
enue reform like the one for which he
stands sponsor and did it's part in
bringing about his defeat.
Governor Donaghey has been a
builder and man who has done
things. In his years to come-and we
hope they may be long-he can have
the qualification of knowing that he
did his duty as he saw his duty. AL
though he was denied the vindication
of the third term that he desired in
the governorship, his vindication will
come, as we believe, in the wholesome
satisfaction of seeing his works en-
endure and his policies of government
shown in better light when the dim
ming mists and clouds of politics have
cleared away.-Editorial in Arkansas
Gazette.

From Fridays Daily
There were not more than so people
In attendance at the Baptist meetings
last hight, so heavy had been the rain,
but those who came were evidently
there for a purpose. After a sermon
from the pastor on Zone Thing Thou
Lackest," there were five public pro-
fessions of faith, and one was received
for baptism into the local church.
The closing evangelistic services for
this week will be held tonight. Rev. J.
j. Hurt says there have been % pub
lie professions thus far, II baptisms,
three additions by letter, and others
are awaiting baptism. So earnest
have the people been that it is quite
probable the meetings will go on
through next week. The pastor says
i it is source Of special qualification
that everyone who has taken a public
stand has done so of his own or her
own accord. The pastor makes his
plea from the pulpit, and leaves to the
individual the responsibility of accept
ing or rejecting it.
There will be an afternoon service
Sunday for the special benefit of stu
dents, though all people are invited
The musical features will be selections
from male quartette, double quar-
tette from Central College, and the
Central College orchestra will lead in
| the music.
The usual services will be held to-
night at 7:45 o'clock.
