A MIRACLE AT CEDAR SPRINGS
BY A. M. Carpenter in The spartanburg Herald.

words, using the finger alphabet. For
a year they did not accomplish any
thing, and Miss Banks felt that her
work had been failure and wanted to
resign. Mr.. Walker would not hear of
it; OH the other hand he offered to in
crease her salary. A little had been
accomplished by the end of the sec
ond year, and after that her progress
has been more rapid each year. Mr..
Walker said the other day that she
had accomplished more during the past
year than during all the previous
years. Her progress now can be mark
ed almost daily.
After she had mastered the art of
spelling words on her fingers, and
reading words spelled in that manner
by others, the next step was to develop
her vocal chords and teach her to ut
ter sounds and frame the sounds into
words. With her fingers held lightly
on the lips of one speaking in an or
binary tone she learns to pronounce
the words herself. If she mispro-
nounces word her teachers correct
her, and she holds her fingers to the
lips Of the one speaking and makes
another effort. Now her teachers are
gradually requiring her to use her vo-
cal cords in all her conversations,
while they use the fingers in talking to
her. Sometimes in her eagerness she
talks too fast and it is difficult to un-
derstand all that she says, but this sim
pie fault is being overcome. She pro
nounces most Of her words as clearly
and distinctly as an ordinary person.
She mastered the Braillc alphabet
for the blind, and can read with 0u-
cncy books printed in that language
She uses the Brallc system Of writing
with equal ease, and is now mastering
the new system Of that language re-
Gently adopted She uses "A common
typewriter with skill, and writes a
cleaner page than many experienced
read it after she has written it, and
this is handicap. If some genius
would invent typewriter that would
print raised letter she would be
greatly helped.
Ruby Miller knows all the human
emotions love, fear, jealousy and cv-
Ell hate, but love is her dominating
passion. She loves her teachers and
iplaymatcs, and she is passionately de-
voted to some of them. She dearly
loves Laurens Walker, principal of the
school, who has devoted many hours
to her training, and she loves Miss
Banks, who has been her companion
and teacher for SO long. Much Of her
love Is ccntcrcd in Lorce Walker, a
little blind girl who is a year or so
younger han herself. The other day
one Of her visitors was magazine
writer from New York City. She was
told that he was going to write a story
about her for one of the magazines

days ago, while some visitors were
present, Laurens Walker told her he

and jumped up and fastened out Of the

in few minutes with her arms en-

his eyes shining, but she got away

Many stories might be told to il
lustratc this wonderful little girls
accomplishments, and the wide and
varied amount Of knowledge that she
has acquired, but all would only go to
prove this outstanding fact: That with
the exception Of being deaf and blind,
Ruby Miller is as well educated as the
average girl Of her age; that she has
many accomplishments aside from
mere book knowledge, and that she is
happier than many, many girls who
have all the faculties and who have
had every advantage that friends and
relatives and money could give. She
has happy disposition, pure faith in
God and deep love for her friends and
companions
Just now she is looking forward to
the school vacation in the summer,
and she wants to go to her home in
Columbia for her vacation She wants
TO go barefootcd during the summer,
and she wants the teachers to let her
hair grow long. 81 am getting to be
quite a big girl now" she says, "and
should not have short hair" Laurcns
Walker promised her the other day
that her hair should not be cut again
Then one Of her visitors said he would
send her some hair ribbons. Thank

young women to be found anywhere. Is
it any wonder that one who thinks of
what she has done, and Of what has
been done for and with her, should feel
wretched in the realization of his ne

Is any greater lesson taught by any

South Carolina School for the Deaf
and Blind is Ruby Miller, little thir-
teen-year-old girl, who lost her sight
and hearing at the age of two and q
half years, who does not remember ev-
er hearing the human voice or ever
seeing the sunlight or any other beau
tiful thing, and yet is talking and
laughing daily with her teachers and
playmates, is studying English his
tory, geography and arithmetic, max
ing clothes for her dolls, and is lead
ing as active and as happy life as
the normal girl of her age. 1t is
miracle: it is nothing less. And the
story Of it is a story of love and de-
votion and painstaking effort almost
beyond belief.
Most people are familiar With the
achievements OF Laura Bridgcman and
lielen kellar, the first deaf and blind
persons in this country 10 be cducat-
ed. But Laura Brdgeman and Helen
kellar lost their sight and hcarig
after their early childhood, and they
had fairly good yocabulares when
their education began. Ruby Miller
lost her sight and hearing in her earl
lest childhood, before she could fairly
talk, and she was not placed under the
care of the teachers at Cedar Spring
until after she had passed her sixth
year. BY that time she had forgotten
all that she ever knew. And yet Dir. y.
IF. Walker, the president OF the Cedar
Spring school. and his teachers have
penetrated the double veil behind
which this little girls life was cast,
and have found behind the darkness
and the silence a bright intellect and a
loving heart. These they have devel-
oped step by step and today Ruby
Miller is wonderfully sweet and at
tractivc child. She has keen intel
lcct, 4 wholesome sense Of humOr, and
a heart throbbng with love for her
teachers and playmatcs and for the
whole world. She is as we'll informed

RANGER CAPITALISTS BUY
MERRILL HOTEL BUILDING

One Of the largest deals involved
in the sale Of Lubbock city property,
was closed last Saturday wnen
Messrs Jones and Hodges. two
wealthy oil men Of Ranger purchas-
ed the Merrill Hotel building from
VI +. Merrill. The entire considera-
ton is reported 10 us as being $780,
10000, SS0.000.O0 being paid out
light for the building and 100000 90
paid 20 Messrs Bauers and Kelley for
their unexpired lease and possession
% the hotel April lst Ibis year.
Under the terms Of the recent sale
we learn that the buyers have prom
sed 70 remodel this building by lay
ing tile floors, rc-tinting h e
walls, the erection Of another story
md the installation Of a fine water
system. II is said that the buyers
win start this work on the building
in April, probably finishing VI before
the hotel opens again for business.
With the location Of this property
Il provides one Of the best in the city.
This hotel has been the mecca for
travelling men and cattlemen Of the
South Plains since its erection some
few years ago. At the time it was
built. il was doubtful whether or
not Lubbock could afford a hotel Of
such proportions. Today under the
present existing conditions. we find
This city in a helpless condition for
the proper care of transient people
and visitors The city now demands
the reconstruction Of this once ''too
large hotel" and also the erection
of another.
Messrs. Bauers and Kelly. who have
been managing this hotel. will give
possession April LIST. Ii is not the in
tentions Of either Of these men to
leave our city. Mr. Bauers has pur-
chased ranch property and informs
us that he will probably move to this
property and make his home there
permanently in the future Mr.. Kel-
ly will probably remain in the city
and enter into another business.

DVALERA'S SPEECHES
HERE SURPRISE IRISH

Dublin, Jan. 9.-Eamonn De VAL
to the part played by Irish soldiers
in the war have been read In Ireland
with some surprise, and it is pointed
out here that In this matter Mr.. De
Valera's sentiments differ a good deal
from those Of his supporters. Cap
tain M'Walter, a Dublin physician and
member OF the Dublin Municipal
Council, who served Throughout, the
war in the Army Medical Corps,
writes as follows in the Dublin Press:
"All the ex-service men, and there
are over 10000 of us, were pleased to
find Mr.. De Valera assuring his Amer
ican audience that we fought for a
principle and that Irishmen in the
earlier days of the war rushed to the
ranks in overwhelming numbers But
whilst Mr.. De Valera rightly inter-
prets our position to the Americans
his followers and supporters in Dub
lin never cease 10 pour contumely on
Irish soldiers and to heap every in
dignity possible upon them.
"Returned soldiers are treated as
lepers rather than as heroes. Men
who had not the manh..ess to fight
either in the army or in the rebellion
now find courage to persecute by
every means in their power those
army or exarmy men whom De Val
era lauds, and even carry their vim
dictiyeness against every man who
helps them
