BLIND
By SAM SIM MONS

Each day they see with sightless eyes The hills that from the green lain rise. And grasp the lure of mountains blue The wonder of that unseen view. Their souls cry out in silent might As hearts ache through intending night Eternal fate. What times must be. Before all sightless eyes shall see? Those eyes. though dead yet seem to stare With courage like a heros dare. But far more dread when souls are blind To joys that come from God most kind. For without vision, ingrates dumb, They hate the gifts that from Him come In greed and wrong they take delight: Their souls are blind. and not their sight God bless the sightelss, blind with light, They sing forever in their plight But pity those who live along
 Forever blind in soul and song,

Such a girl marrying a man who may
make as much sometimes continues
TO work for a while At least a period
which is characterized by such pay
for labor is not one In which men are
loath to care for their wives. They
don't need TO live with mother-in-
law.
In here for licenses. In order to get
the license they must show birth
certificates or have their mothers
come in to testify TO their ages.
1--WE like TO see the mothers with
the youngsters. II they are the
right sort OF people they want TO
see the newly married get along
peacef 'lly and happily. l believe par
ents shou.f be notified, especially in
these civil =. arriages which are con-
tracted in this bureau.
NO HOMES N SIGHT.
81 have often wocdered myself
about the housing situatio.s Some OF
the applicants here have been ques-
toned by us and they say they Will
go on a honeymoon but don't know
where they will live later. That
means. ] suppose. the parents of one
or the other will have to put them
up till permanent home can be
found.
AT time when the type OF man
who once was forced to walt and
save for his bride-to-be can marry
now while quite young and at a
time when we issue more marriage
licenses than ever before, ] cannot
say that the 'bogey' of the mother-in-
law is apt to wreck many homes"
But are landlords and mothers or
brides and grooms really conniving "a
destroy romance and young love and
marital bliss?
The mother-in-law OF the colored
supplement is a somewhat different
individual from the real type from
which she is crudely, for the purposes
of humor, drawn.
We know motherin-law who
helped her son-in-law pay up his
business losses, who clothes her
daughter and her daughters children
in order that the little group may APP
pear before their small and critical
circle without loss of pride. She has
helped them to save money. and her
excellent advice and help during a
period Of strain will be remembered
the next time they are tempted to out
shine their neighbors.
ANGEL IN DISGUISE.
We know mother-ln-law whose
son married a fighty. spoiled. hot
tempered girl. How easy it would
have been for that mother to take
her sons part, right or wrong. in
each little spat and forever part
these two whose only fault was youth
and lack of forbearance! But her
kindly counsel and wisdom held to-
gether these foolish two till they out
grew the folly of the continual family
night.
Many mothers-in-law are truly "an-
gels in disguise"
We also venture the banality that
many more are angels in disgust
who must endure the heartlessness Of
the newlyweds, engrossed in love,
fearing any alien presence may dis
turb their new-found happiness.
As to mother-in-law and her rights
Long may she wave"

TO One Cent.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-one cent
WAS all the money that Ned Flniey,
a motion picture actor. had in the
world when he committed suicide
yesterday. The coin was found lying
on the chifYonier in his room In the
Hotel de France, where employees ais
covered his body lying across the
bed. DR.. Henry Holman. assistant
medical examiner, said the man had
taken both strychnine and cyanide.
either of which would have caused
his death.
When the police searched Finley's
effects they found more than twenty
pawn tickets. The manager OF the
hotel said that. the actor owed
weeks board and that he had com
planned recently Of failing health and
financial reverses. A few years ago
Finley was well known In moving
picture circles as an actor OF western
parts, but according to the police, he
tried to commit suicide two years ago
in Central Park and lost his left
arm as a result of slashing his wrist
with a knife. Since then he had
found'it difficult to obtain work.
Finley left three notes lying on the
floor. They were numbered and read
as follows:

DR.. Holman said that Finley was
drug addict, and that the reason
the cynide and strychnine did not XIII
him quickly was that he was evident
ly under the influence OF morphine
when he took them.
