The Deaf.

You have probably noticed many times
how intently a baby scans the face OF a
would-be experimentation its inno-
cent eyes explore the very soul OF those
who seek its favor. Have you never
caught the same look on the face OF the
deaf?
Do not forget that deaf persons rely
mainly on their sight for their under
standing of what you say TO them. Un-
fortunately, the necessity OF raising your
voice, and OF repeating in a louder tone
what you have already said once, is likely
to bring scowl 10 your face. The deaf,
consequently, too often see world that
seems 10 frown upon them. Behind that
pathetic look in their eyes is frequently
the question, "Why are you angry with
me ?"
Look pleasant when you address the
dull ear. Your hand upon their shoulder
helps, and friendly mods and gestures, if
they speak OF comradeShip and not OF
condescension.
II is the isolation deafness brings that
gives to il its keeneSt pain. Have you
not been in the company of those who
spoke a foreign language? Then you
know something OF the feeling OF loneli-
ness common with the deaf. The other
persons in the room-those of normal
hearing-draw inStinctively nearer to-
gether as the conversation grows ami
mated backs bend and heads incline to-
ward the center OF the circle, and the
deaf person is left outside.
1t is not hard to talk to the deaf il you
90 about it in the right way, Speak
slowly and distinctly, and in brief SEN
tenCes. Remember that, for the deaf,
speech is like bad handwriting Give
them time. Do not keep chatterIng and
trying to explain. 1t is often the most
important word that they miSS-the name
OF a person or a place, the point OF a joke,
the one word on which the whole SEN
tence hinges. The speaker, asked TO re-
peat, begins with, 81 said" in loud
voice, and drags out the long string OF
insignificant words without giving the
least extra emphasis or attention to the
one important word.
1t is simple act OF courtesy TO see that
in any public gathering where there is
sp eaking the dull OF hearing have seats
from which they can see the speakers
lips; and in church, 10 lind for them the
hymns and responsive readings that are
announced.
Finally, let the deaf talk Not infre-
quently they talk most decidedly well.
The house Of silence that encloses them
is conservatory in which many OF the
spiritual and the intellectual graceS come
to their fullest Towering. 1t shuts out
the blighting winds OF gossip and scandal
and lets in the sunshine of quiet thought.
1t fosters reading and introspectIon and
that searching Of the heart which is the
most prolific source Of good talk.

Homes not merely four square walls,
Though with pictures hung and gilded.
Home is where affection calls,
Filled with shrines the heart hath builded.
Home !-go watch the faithful dove.

Home is where there's one TO love.
Home is where there's one TO love US.
Homes not merely roof and room

Home is where the heart can bloom
Where there's some kind lip 10 cheer 1t.

None to welcome. none TO greet us
Home is sweet-and only sweet
Where there's one we love to meet US.

Insect Immigrants.

The Australian ladybird beetle came
into California 10 destroy the white scale
in the late eighties, and this was followed
by the carriage OF the same species OF
beetle, with equally good results, TO Por-
tugal, TO Italy, 10 South America and quite
recently to Fomosa. in all cases destroy
ing the same scale insect.
Another instance was the importation
from Australia OF certain parasites oi the
sugar cane leaf hopper into Hawai-. which
is said TO have resulted in the reduction
OF the number OF the leaf hoppers TO a
negligible quantity. A gigantic expert
ment OF the same kind is now being car
ried on in the importation OF the parasites
and natural enemies OF the gypsy moth
and the brown-tai moth from all parts
Europe and from Japan into the New
England States.
A number OF species have already been
introduced and acclimaiized. and admir-
able results are expected from this work.

TO GIVE AWAY
MANY FARMS
LAND CAPABLE
OF BIG CROPS

Butte, Mont, Sept. 19-In con-
nection with the settlement of the
Fort Peck Indian reservation which
will be thrown open this fall. it is
interesting to forecast the probable
future of this immense tract of
fertile land, now in the infancy of
its agricultural development.
With the opening of this reser-
vation over 5000 citizens will fol-
low the sage advice of Horace
Greeley to the young men of his
generation and go west to grow up
with the country. approximate
ly 1,345, 900 acres will be thrown
open to settlement, an area twice
as large as the state of Rhode Is
land and a vertible empire on a
small scale. Each settler is en-
titled to l60 acres of land, making
S,406 farms to be distributed. AL.
lowing four members to a family
this will increase the population of
Montana by over $4,000 people.
Statistics show that every person
on the farm supports an average of
two people in the towns and cities
and it is fair to assume that the
territory contiguous to the 1eser-
walton will benefit to this extent,
which brings the grand total up
to $1,000 people.
Prof. Thomas Shaw, the noted
agricultural expert, estimates that
when this land is cultivated it will
contribute 100000 more bush.
els of grain to the nations annual
production. The one principa
crop grown on the reservation at
the present time is wheat, which
The Colorado statesman., 1913-09-27

runs from twenty to twenty five
bushels to the acre. Prof. Shaw
estimates that this land will pro-
duce S,406,250 bushels of wheat
and 5,3S0,000 bushels of oats per
year. AT the present market quo
tations, S5 cents a bushel for
wheat and 10 cents bushed for
oats, this would make a grand total
of over $I1, 100000 for these crops
alone.
These rough estimates will give
some idea of the prosperous future
which awaits this section of the
great state of Montana. Half IA
dozen modern townsites have al
ready been located by the govern
ment at points along the main OF
Great Northern Railway, which
runs through the Fort Peck reser-
vation for over ninety miles.

SEGREGATION CONTINUES
in WASHINGTON.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Regis
ter of the Treasury j. G. Napier
was advised last Tuesday by John
Shelton Williams, Assistant Sec
retary has been devoted to finding
ways and means to insult colored
employees, He originated the
segregation policy in the Treasury
Department., and lie caused to be
placed the signs designating which
toilet rooms should be exclusively
used by Colored employees. That
his policy Of persecution of Color
ed employees is condoped by Sec
retary McAdoo and President Will
son is borne out by the fact that
the segregation order is still in
vogue. Last week three colored
clerks, presuming that the segre-
CATION policy had been abandoned,
were threatened with dismissal if
they again used other than the
toilet room in the basement of the
Treasury Building reserved for
colored employees exclusively
There are over one thousand col

Baltimore, Sept 19 Judge
Thomas Williams, of the Juve.

from Europe Wednesday of this

with was that French papers refer
to Jack johnson as lie boxer ter

boxer, and speak of him as a good
and pious young man, who has
been wronged by Southern peo.

French people, aud coming from
a Judge in this country, the whole
affair is certainly true. 1t is a
pleasure to hear IF such d verdict.
