BLIND REPAIR WATCHES BEST
sightless Men Known TO Detect De-
fects That Other Trsdesmen
Failed 10 Discover.

Blind people-those who have been
born bIInd-are, as is well known, ex-
ceedingly clever with their fingers, but
II is not often that one hears of
matchmaker who was born blind, and
yet there have been instances of the
kind.
A famous blind matchmaker lived NJ
Holbeach, notes On exchange. bis
name was Rippin, and, although COM
pletely blind, he could take to pieces
and put together again watches of most
delicate construction with the greatest
ease and in quicker time than most
watchmakers who have the advantage
of good eyesight.
On one occasion some or the tiny
wheels and screws used in his trade
were stolen from him, but the thief
was captured with the property on his
person, and Rippin identified 1t by his
delicate sense of touch. Another watch
and cloekmaker brought up his blind
son to his trade. and he proved so skill
full that on more than one occasion he
detected faults IN timepieces which 9TH
er tradesmen had failed to discover.

WHAT THE CHAPLAINS ARE
SAYING.

Rev Charles 5. Macfarland, General
Secretary of the Federal Council OF
the Churches of Christ in America,
has been interviewing the Army and
Navy Chaplains. both the veterans and
those newly assigned. and reports
them as enthusiastic regarding their
work While allowing for all the de-
linQuencies incidental to army life
and not minimizing the difficulties
with which they are constantly deal
ing. they express pride in their men
and report them as wonderfully ap-
preciative and responsive TO deeply
spiritual appeal
DR.. mcfarland has not found a sim
gle chaplain who does not rejoice in
what one termed the greatest oppor-
tunity OF any preacher for great par
ish, who wants hard work with am
pie spiritual reward" Another said:
Il would not swap my position for any
in the camp. whether military or re-
ligious"
They all appear rudy and in good
health. In an interview with General
Gorgas in Washington, this veteran
soldier expressed the highest praise
of the chaplains and their work
The work of the Federal Council
Cor the past five years in setting up
its General Committee on Army and
Navy Chaplains. is felt to be one OF
the most clearly providential tasks
undertaken by the Council and with
the passage of the new bill by Con-
gress providing for three times the
present number OF chaplains, the
Washington Office of the Council win
have its hands full of work

THE SIXTH RESURRECTION or
MR. BRYAN.

William Jennings Bryan, VINO be
came famous by the delivery of his
Grown Of Thorns7 and Gross Of
Gold" speech at the National Demo-
cratic sonvention held in Chicago in
the year 1896. appeared before large
and enthusiastic crowd that overflow
ed the House OF Delegates on Tues
day afternoon. He spoke for the
ratification Of the prohibition amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, now
pending before the Legislature OF
Maryland. and was certainly at his
best, delivering one of the greatest
speeches we have ever heard. For
more than two hours he entertained
the audience by his logic, mingled
with humor. during which time he
answered arguments previously made
by Mr. William L. Marbury, Of Balti-
more. against the amendment.
This is the same Bryan that died
and was buried (figuratively) by his
enemies about six times, and at each
of the obsequies it was said that he
would never rise again. In 1896 it
was declared that he never would re-
cover from the death blow delivered
by the late William Mckinley at the
polls in November of that year. but in
1900 he was resurrected by the Demo-
cratic party To run the race again
against Mr. Mckinley At this time
his second demise occurred, and was
politically buried until 1904, when he
appeared in st. Louis, at the Ma
tional Democratic Convention and laid
down his commission in favor of AL
ton 3. Parker, who was nominated to
run the race against Mr.. Roosevelt,
and then his third obituary is record
cd But in 1908 he was resurrected
for the third time by his party to run
against Mr. Taft, only TO be sacri-
feed for the fourth time. 1t was
thought then that he would never be
able to break off the shaclSles of politi-
cal doom and come forth again. But
while the political pot was simmering.
and as his enemies were marshalling
their forces together TO deliver him an
everlasting blow. he emerged again
from his political doom the fifth time
and appeared at the National Demo-
cratic Convention held in Baltimore
in 1912. championed the cause of true
Democracy, defeated his enemies,
among whom were the famous "wax
figures" Of the New York State dele
cation. and nominated Woodrow Will
son for President, the first Democratic
President elected in twenty years. He
lived after this in good estate until he
resigned from President Wilson's
Cabinet. to be doomed again to politi-
cal death for the sixth time It was
thought surely that this would be the
last time he would be heard of. But
suddenly he bursts forth from the
bonds of the sixth political doom and
launches into places where angels
feared to tread" and where none OF the
leaders of either of the two great
political parties dared to venture for
fear of meeting their doom
II matters not what some may
think of Mr.. Bryan politically, all will
have to admit that he is morally and
intellectually. one of the greatest men
of the age.
