Two Blind Men

please direct interested friends to
some society or organization aiding blind
people to learn Sseful work at home.
We are friends Of two men, father and
son, both having become blind after
reaching middle age, one within a year.
Both otherwise are in good health ap-
rarently. They are supported by a slight
pension and the efforts of courageous
and wonderfully Industrious daughter
in-law and wife, who has little child.
The men assist. as far as possible, in
washing. The brave woman is a laun-
dress. They own their little home and
are contented in tiff only the men could
get occupation. What means are there
of teaching them to read at home? You
see there is no one who can give them
time and they must learn alone, un-
aided. Perhaps the father might attempt
it; the son surely would. And what use
full handiwork could be so learned? Their
friends are of limited outlook and re-
sources. Hence this appeal to you. l
write. for the unfortunates at the re-
quest of friends. " B."
The story Is told so we'll as to re-
quire no postscript from u.s. 1t is graphic
and touching. viii those who have prac-
teal knowledge of the workings and
laws of schools for the blind impart to
US any facts which may tighten the dark
ness of the picture here drawn? Hero
ism in daily life should command respect
everywhere. and we have here an unusual
illustration of 1t.

Beef at New High Record.

Portland = Following the sharp ad-
vance in cattle prices at the stock
yards, packers have announced an adj
vance in the wholesale price of dressed
beef TO LA cents pound. This is the
highest price ever qouted to butchers
here. 1t is possible that prices will
advance still further before the supply
of grass cattle is sufficient to check the
rise. The wholesale price of dressed
pork has not been changed, but hams
are half a cent higher, and bacon has
advanced full cent, as it usually
does at the opening of summer.
