FINE TEST OF CLEAR SPEECH
Conversation with the Blind VIII Test

Let no one boast of his descriptive
powers until he mas tested them IN
conversation with blind person.
said the city missionary. Il used to
think that had the knack OF making
things pretty clear, but after l be-
gan to escort the blind on their walks
found that ! had not the slightest
conception OF concise, comprehensive
speech. Ny first experience OF the
kind was at a naval parade. l guided
two blind men down to Riverside to
see the ships. / described to the
best Of my ability what was going on,
but l soon found from the questions
they asked that I had given them no
idea of what the pageant looked like.
/ reasoned that the fault must be mine.
The men had been blind a good while,
but they had retentive memories and
an active imagination, and with that
material to work on l should have
achieved better results.
From that day l began to cultivate
the gift of accurate description. Even
when out alone l talked to myself
trying to put into words the pictures
I saw. BY degrees acquired the art
Of seeing my blind charges see through
my eyes. My biggest stumbling block
was women's clothes. No woman met
anywhere show a keener avidity to
keep up with the fashions than those
take out from the blind asylum. and 1t
requires every one of my newly &C
quired gifts to convey an adequate
idea of the seasons styles"

SENATOR FALLS TELLS THE
TRUTH.

We are glad to know that the truth
about Mexico at last has been given
in the Urlited States Senate. For
months past while the conditions IN
the southern country have lost reach
ed the limit of barbarity, while mil
lions of dollars of American property
have been destroyed and thousands Of
Americans compelled to flee from
their homes, the silence of the tomb
has enveloped the capitol in Wash
ington so far as Mexican affairs were
concerned.
Yesterday, however, Senator Fall,
of Mexico, told the truth about con-
ditions in Mexico and it was like a
Jagged bolt from summer sky, a
tale of unatoncd and apparently, lg-
nored outrages against American cl-
tizcns in Mexico.
Senator Fall is a Republican and an
administration supporter.
Murder, rapine and robbery, OF
which, the Senator charged, the State
Department has taken no cognlzance,
and for which no apology or rcpara-
ton has been asked of or received
from the Mexican government, have
been committed against men, women
and children, who should be able to
look to the United States govern
ment for protection.
As further commentary on the
lack of paternal protection which AM
erican citizens in Mexico are forced
to contemplate the murderers and out
RACERS of Americans walk the streets
unwhipped of justice, according to
Senator Fall.
Senator Fall told the Senate that
when he made inquiries at the State
Department as to the cause Of mac
ton, the reply was to the effect that
these people could attain reprlsal
from Mexican courts.
The story told by the new Senator
so shocked his colleagues that only the
absence of number of senators from
the chamber prevented the passage Of
a resolution he offered calling for a
searching investigation into the afro
cities against American citizens in
Mexico and the cause Of the inacti-
witty of the State Department.
In the story told by Senator Fall,
crimes of fiendish cruelty atrocities
against defenseleSs women and girls
still in the teens, murders of isolated
colonists for no other cause than to
satisfy lust for the letting of blood,
were instanced. Older members OF the
senate during the revelation harked
3 back to the stories told in the cham
Der in the late COS of the atrocities
committed against Cubans by Gen
Weyler, the Spanish Governor-Gene'
raj, storal which famed to fame the
resentment of this nation and brought
about the intervention and the Span
ish- American war.
