LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND

William l. Scandlin, the blind presi-
dent of the Blind Mems Club of New
York, Is an author, lecturer and sue
cessful business man. Mr.. Scandlin
has been blind for six years. Twelve
years ago, in early middle life, he
was told that he had six years in
which to prepare for blindness He
took up the task as cheerfully as pos
sible, and since he has been blind has
done a great work at the Light
house for the blind in East Fifty
ninth street, New York city-an in
stitution built by Miss Winifred Holt
the wonderful woman whose whole
heroic life is devoted to the cause
Of the sightless. Following is an ex-
tract from the article:
when we went to the Lighthouse
we were told that Mr.. Scandlin was
at board meeting, but in few mo-
ments he Joined us, an erect, rosy,
splendidly vigorous man, who made
his way as confidently as we did
through the halls. He piloted us
everywhere, touching electric buttons
for lights or for the elevator, pointing
out every beauty of detail. introduc-
ing us to the blind girls at their looms
and the blind men busy with basketry
I'm the hour or two that we spent
at the Lighthouse, he was constantly
interrupted. Mr.. Scandlin was needed
to straighten out a matter of house
business, was wanted to meet visitors,
was wanted at the telephone, was
wanted in his own office to meet and
advise the heartsick young father or
a family, whose eyesight had recent
lv been lost through "a factory acci-
dent. He is president of the Blind
Mems Club. he superintendS the CEN

"All of our great discoveries of min

country" continued Senator Cling
man. do you suppose Mexico would
let California go>if it had been known
that there were rich gold deposits in
that State?
Those gold discoveries followed the
close of the Mexican War and they
have been of prodigious Importance
commercially, industrially and politi-
cally.
Down yonder," continued the Sena-
tor, indicating with a gesture the
South, they are going to find some
day, and, l think, by chance, enorm-
ously rich mineral products. The APP
palachian range is to reveal them and
and somebody with a spade will dis
close great riches beneath the sur
face of Florida, and yet we took
Florida grudgingly as favor to

I presume Senator Clingman had

mind.

favor to Russia. Some day there will
be disclosed in that great peninsula

interest, sometimes being entirely

charges who are not blind. He is
constantly planning and experiment
ing and when he talks of the great
work that has already been done and
the greater changes that the near fu-
ture will bring for the blind his face
fairly radiates content, and you find
1t hard to realize that only q few
years ago he had to meet one of the
heaviest blows that ever falls to the
lot of man.
Some weeks ago, in the old Light
house. Mr.. Scandlin explained the
method of writing and typewriting,
and exhibited the establishment to a
lady who was heartsick over her
sons impending blindness, and quite
unaware that her guide could not
see.
"'Ah. but Mr.. Scandlinr she walled,
when she was going, you find this
work very inspiring and delightful,
but you are not afflicted You can
see!'
"One may imagine the twinkle In
his eyes as they met hers.
THAT is very true, madam he

IL will give you just as many and
| Just as good,' said the owner, IF
you will do me a trlfing favor. "
"And what is that?" asked the other.
"Only to tend this line till 1 come
back; 1 wish to go on short err
rand" The proposal was accepted.
The old man was gone so long that
the youth began to get impatient.
Meanwhile the fish snapped greedily
at the hook, and he lost all his de-
preston in the excitement of pulling
them in. When the owner returned
| he had caught a large number.
Counting out from them as many as
were in the basket, and presenting
| them to the youth, the old fisherman
| said: II fulfil my promise from the
fish you have caught to teach you
whenever you see others earning
what you need to waste no time in
foolish wishing, but cast a line for
yourself"
Self-help has accomplished about
all the great things of the world.
How many young men falter, faint
and daily with their purpose because

and wait for some good luck to give

of drudgery and perseverance. 1t

price and it is yours.

great things could only reveal to the
struggling youth of today how much

right hard digging and plodding,
what an uplift of inspiration and en-
enlargement they would givel How
often I have wished that the discour-
aged, struggling youth could know OF
the heartaches, the headaches, the
nerve-aches, the disheartening trials,
the discouraged hours the fears and
despair involved in works which
| have gained the admiration of
the world, but which have
taxed the utmost powers of
| their authors. You can read in a
few minutes or a few hours a poem
or a book with only pleasure and de-
light, but the days and months of
weary plodding over details and
dreary drudgery often required to
produce it would stagger belief.
AS a rule, the youth who unlocks
the door of opportunity and makes
his mark in the world fights his way
up to his own loaf. What others do
for him does not amount TO much in
comparison for what he does for him
Self. The pampered youth who is
brought up in luxury and not
obliged to work, whose strength is

what there is in him. 1t is the boys

POSTAL LEAGUES POLICY

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Your Washington letter, in the is
sue of October 23d, under the caption
of Proposed Parcel Post" gives some
fifty odd lines to the statements of
Mr.. James l.. Cowles, secretary of the
Postal Progress League, and written
in such manner that 1t would natur-
ally be assumed that these utterances
are official statements, as to belief
and policy of this league. The Postal
Progress League has no beliefs that
extend even to a consideration of
government ownership of railroads,
and is, through the votes of its exc
cutive committee, on record against
such a proposition. 1t has not, and
will not, consider a 200 pound parcel
post at twenty-five cent fiat rate, and
being still a sane body, and its pro-
gressiveness and measures considered
bound by this action of it's executive
committee, will remain within the
bounds of reasonable conservatism.
Mr. James l.. Cowles, while still Sec
rotary of this league, has no right to
express himself as quoted in the
dispatch to your paper. In fact, Mr.
Cowles has been cautioned by this
league that If he desires to advance
issues that this body refuses even to
take seriously, he must disassociate

termined industry In most cases of
downright, hard work, they would be
inspired with new hope. 1t is inter-
esiing to note that the men who talk
most about genius are the men who
like to work the least. The lazier

say about great things being done

BY saying that tie other fellow was

Circumstances have rarely favored
great men. They have fought their
difficulty and through all sorts of OPP
position. A lowly beginning and .
humble origin are no bar to great
career. The farmers boys fill many
Of the greatest places in legislatures.
in business, at the bar, in pulpits,
In Congress, today.
Boys of lowly origin have made
many of the greatest discoveries, are
presidents of our banks, of our col
leges, of our universities. Our poor
boys and girls have written many
of our greatest books, and have filled
the highest places as teachers and
journalists. Ask almost any great
man in our large cities where he was
born, and he will tell you it was on
a farm or in a small country village.
Nearly all of the great capitalists of
the city came from the country.
C. P. Huntington, the great railway
man, was the son OF a Connecticut
farmer. He abandoned the opportu-
mites of the farm, and peddled
clocks in the mining districts of Cal
ifornia. He opened a hardware store.
He united with Stanford in the con-
struction of railroad. With him
one thing always led to another.
Isaac Rich, the founder of Boston
University, left Cape Cod for Boston
to make his way with a capital OF
only four dollars. Like Horace Gree
ley, he could find no opening for
boy; but what of that? He made an
opening. He found board, and
made 1t into an oyster stand on the
street corner He borrowed a wheel
barrow, and went three miles to an
oyster smack, bought three bushels
of oysters, and wheeled them to his
stand. Soon his little savings amount
ed to $130, and then he bought a
horse and cart.
Perception and action; quick eye,
and clear vision; vigorous right
arm and deft hand-these are the
masters of success in any and in
every pursuit.

4 Mountain Gateway

| know vale where would go day,
When June comes back and all the world once more
Is glad with summer Deep with shade it lies,
mighty cleft in the green bosoming hills,
COOL dim gateway to the mountains heart.
On either side the wooded slopes down,
Hemlock and beech and chestnut; here and there
Through the deep forest laurel spreads and gleams
Pink-whte as Daphne in her loveliness-
That still perfection from the world withdrawn
AS if the wood gods had arrested there
Immortal beauty in her breathess flight.
Far overhead against the archng blue
Gray lodges overhang from dizzy heights
Scared by thousand winters and untamed
The road winds in from the broad rverands,
Luring the happy traveller turn by turn,
Up to the lofty mountain of the sky
And where the road in the valleys foot
Through the dark woods the mountain down.
Singing and dancing all its youth away
Among the bouders and the shallow runs
Where sunbeams pierce and messy tree trunks hang
Drenched all day long with murmurng sound and spray
There, light of heart and foot free, would go
Up to my home among the lasting hills,
And in my cabin doorway sit me down,
CompanioRed in that eafy solitude.
BY the wood ghosts of twilight and of peace,
And in that seclusion should hear
Among the cool-leafed beeches in the dusk,
The cam-voced thrushes at their evening hymn
So undistraught so rapturous, pure
1t we'll might be, in wisdom and in Joy,
The seraphs singing at the birth of time
The unworn ritual of eternal things
