PATHETIC PLEA FOR CHILDREN
Words of Charles Kingsley Worth
Needing by Every Man and Wom-
an of Any Worth.

Do not deceive yourselves about the
little dirty, offensive children in the
street. If they be offensive to you.
they are not to him that made them.
Take heed that ye despise not one
OF these little ones; for say unto you
that in heaven their angels do ALWAYS
behold the face of my father which
is in heaven" Is there not in every
one OF them, as in you the light that
lighteth every man that cometh into
the world? And know you not who that
light Is, and what he said of little
children? Then take heed. say, lest
you despise one of these little ones
Listen not to the Pharisee when he
says: Except the little child be con.
yerted. and become as I am. he shall
In nowise enter into the kingdom Of
heaven. But listen to the voice of him
who knew what is in man, when he
said: Except ye be converted, ye
shall not enter into the kingdom Of
heaven" Their souls ere like their
bodies. not perfect. but beautiful
enough and fresh enough to shame
anyone who shall dare to look down
upon them. Their souls are like. their
bodies, hidden by the rags, foul with
the dirt Of what we miscall civlliza.
tion. But take them to the pure
stream, strip off the ugly. shapeless
rags, wash the young limbs again. and
you shall find them, body and soul,
fresh and 1.-THE, graceful and capable
capable OF how much God alone who
made them knows. from Charles

BLIND SPOT IN EVERY EYE

tiers.

In every eye there Is a little spot
that is totally blind. Young eye,. Ole
eyes, sharp eyes, dull eyes, blue
brown or black eyes-all of them
even the most perfect, have, in each
retina, a little round spot which is
wholly blind both to brightness and
color. This spot is located just at the
point where the optic nerve centers
and is approximately one-twelfth OF
an inch wide. Several interesting eN
perinents can be made to prove the
presence of this blind spot. For eX
ample, cover the right eye with tn
hand or a bandage and gaze with the
left steadily at point on the wall OF
screen about seven feet distant. LIE,
another person be seated against the
wall on your left-hand side, in such
q position that his forehead is on
level with the point at which you are
gazing, and his nearer cheek about
twenty inches distant from it, Do no.
turn your eyeball, but gaze steadily
as at first, and his face will entirely
disappear, and the wall will seem to
be perfe> tly blank. If you spread
sheet of paper on the wall and note
the points ut which a pencil moved
back and forth by another person ap-
pears and disappears, you will be able
to make an accurate map of the blind
spot as projected on the wall. An.
other experiment is performed by
painting nine large letters in three
vertical columns of three letters each,
upon a sheet of paper at such dis
lance and in such a position before
the eye that the central letter OF the
square falls within the blind spot.
while the surrounding eight letters
arc still visible.-Chrislian Herail

approved. Our Senator-elect, Ben
jamin Watkins, Jr., and Mr.. J. T.
Stewart, one Of the m6mbers-elect Of
the House Of Delegates, were cham
pions of this piece of legislation and
their strength before the people at
tests the popularity of the law; and
il stimulated consideration Of the SUBJ
ject in other parts of the State. The
Maryland Teachers Association at
its annual meeting in this city in
June last, after full discussion by the
leading men and women of its mem-
bership, unanimously adopted a reso-
luton fsvoring a draft of a similar
law. applicable TO tbs whole State,
pre- posing a minimum teacht rs sal
airy of $40 a month, or $3.50 a year.
and a maximum of not less than $50
a month, or $500 year, for Mary
land teachers of proven adaptebility
and demonstrated efficiency.
Certainly, in view of the cost of
living, as we'll IS of the onerous bur
dens upon teachers, these figures rep
resent only moderately fair compeRs
sation TO the men and women who de-
vote themselves to this profession es-
pecialiy in our rural schools. The
coming Legislature should have no
hesitancy in enacting the propose sed
new salary law. Ii is essential TO
the further progress of public educs-
tion in Maryland, which has done too
spls udidly in upbuildinG a State
wide public school system to weaken
it by a continuance of glaringly in
sufficient compensation to the trusted
agents upon whom must rest the
sacred duty of guiding the mental and
moral development of the thousands
upon thousands of bows and girls
whose few years in the public schools
are to mold the future destiny Of the
State and its people.
81 am sure that the thoughtful cit
izens of this county will give earnest
consideration to the wisdom and ne
cessity, from the taxpaying stand
point, of better pay for teachers,
such as is carried in this proposed
legislation, for they know what a
gooJ, capable, satisfactory teacher is
worth vastly more, in dollars and
cents, t. any community than the
salary it is possible for the State and
county to pay. And we will have in
the coming Legislature, from this
county, a Senator and forr Delegates,
on whose judgment and ability we
can rely. To the people OF the county
and their chosen representatives we
can confde ntly appeal for just COM
pensation for t. achers.

JURY IN MURDER CASE
WAS UNABLE TO AGREE
After Dehberating Over Six Hours
Men Are Discharged.
ELEVEN FOR MANSLAUCHTER.
Aud Final Ballot Showed One Member
Sisadisst for Secoud Degree
Verdict.

After deliberating for nearly six
and one-half hours the jury in the
case of Robert Early, colored, Of
Harrisburg, Va, charged with the
murder Of James Wooten, an Annap
oils negro, filed into the Court room
az 9. 20 O'Clock last night, and an
nounct that il had been unable 20
agree on a verdict.
Judge Brashears, therefore, dis
charged the jury, instead Of ordering
them locked up over night until a
verdict was reached. This means
that the case will have 10 be re tried.
Some ten or twelve ballots We're taken
in the course of the deliberations
and through them all the lineup stood
ten for verdict of manslaughter,
and two for conviction of murder in
the second degree.
On two or three occasions. the jury
sent note into the room of Judge
Brashears, asking for some instruc-
tions, lr advising him how the case
was tied up. In one instance the
jury stated that il hoped to arrive at
o verdict shortly, but the hope was
in vain, though when the final ballot
was taken, it is said Cne Of the two
men who had stood firm for a second
degree murder verdict went over 90
the majority This left one man for
the higher verdict and he refused o.
be moved in his opinion.
So the jury, Of which Mr.. McLane
Shepard, Of the first district, was
foreman, finally decided to come into
Court and tell of the disagreement.
It is now thought that arrangements
will be made for a re-trial Of the
case during the present team Of
Court, thus saving to the county the
expense of holding the prisoner, and
a State witness until the next jury
term OF Court in April, 1914.

get a glimpse of the prisoner,
stranger in Annapolis, who had been
responsible for the death OF one of
their number. But there was no dis

OYSTER TONGERS FINDS
Old CANNON BALLS
Missiles Probably Of Civil War
Times, Covered With Oysters.

Hr. ". J. Clancy, Annapolis Man,
Brings Them Up While ToHgiDg
Yesterday Afternoon.

Cannon balls believed to have been

bar. near the entrance TO Annapolis
Hara1r, yesterday afternoon.
Tine finder is Mr. w. J. Chaney an
ANNAPOLIS oyster tonger. living at

t9ags became fouled with the mis-
.iles while longing for oysters off
the Greenberry fats. Mr.. Clancy is
much euthused over his find, ana a
number of persons visited his hcme
last night and today to view the his.
iuric shells.
One Of the projectiles is an g.
inch. and the other a 10-inch. That
they has probably been in the waters
since Civil War times is indicated by
na inscription which the 9-inch she'll
bears. and which it was possible to
Becipher. On a small brass plate
un THE shell are the letters &c. P"
and the numerals 1852" In addi-
tion q small anchor is engraved there

10 mean that the shells belonged to
the Government, as that is the desig-
ution that the government marks on
its property.
Both of the shells were very rusty.
duo 20 the effect Of the salt water,
and 10 addition, they were literally
covered with marketable size oysters.
Mr. CLANCY said he paid little atten-
t1n to the heavy weight Of the S-inch
shel, when drst he brought it to he
surtoee He simply kno cked the oys-
tcrs from il and then cast it over.
board again. But noticing a quantity
of iron rust on the bivalves, he de-
tcruined TO further investigate, and
grappled again for the missile.
After cleaning the object he found

plate Not many minutes afterwar4
and scarcely twelve feet from the
spot where the s-inch she'll was
brought TO tie surface, Mr.. Chsuey's

icct, and this proved to be the To-
inch projectile. This one was 80
