y HERE is a man who lives alone

And this is what he had to say

" HERE is man who lives alone
in the Great Sahara of Silence.
And this is what he had to say
about the Big Voice." when
he called on a woman. name of Miss
Moonshine. who lives around the cor
ner from Nowhere northwest:
Il stood just where the papers ad-
vised Ito the side of the front porch,
and as the President spoke there came
to me sudden rush of noise-like
Niagara's cave Of the winds, as l
remember it-with an occasional word
riding the storm Of sound. l caught
couple of words. which, doubtless,
were the beginnings of sentences.
The novelty of hearing even these
bits gave me thrill, something Ike
gimpsng old friends you thought were
dead, but it failed to compensate for the
headache caused by the pandemonium;
the noise. of course, being the fault OF
my ears.
Il think the amplifier will help
many-it might even help me. to a
certain extent but-don't say sour
Grapes-judginG by the composite ex-
preston of those who were hearing,

of the address, and so I went back to
my books, that are my friends and
neighborS, and to the microscope,
which is my world.
Nothing can compensate for some
things ,miss-the voices Of my kind
the rustic of new leaves in a spring
breeze. the sprinkle of rain on my
window pane. and the poignant reali-
cation of my lack when stranger
halls me for some inforfnation: but,
seeing that my people are only mem
ories. and that ! have money enough
to make me independent in a small
way, would rather be entirely deaf
than to be helped. slightly by the
Big Voice. At least my silent world
is serenely free Of unkind criticisms
Of any sort or complaints OF the
weather. and 1t frees me from the
irritation of impatient acquafntances
which near-deaf folks have to suffer
from. Yes. It is a great invention
which will carry salvation to many
ears. but. like everything else in this

most undcrpaid public servants we
have. | am in favor of new school
buildings wherever they are needed -
Representative BIanton proposes to
make it his special business to see
that street railway fares in the capi-
tai are reduced. II am in favor of
Congress taking such steps as will
diminish waste and extravaganza
which we can all see in the operation
of street car service in Washington
There is here the best patronized
service of any service in the country.
There is no reason why the people
should have to pay an Scent fare.
Il intend to study the bill intro

car lines in the District. The people
of WASHINGTON NAV be assured tha I
l will study every bill that comes
