Blind Eight Years,
Man Gets Degree of
Master Of Laws

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July Loss of
his sight proved no handicap to Will
liam D. Ely in obtaining his life's
ambition and proved no obstacle in
completing his study Of law, for TO-
day Mr.. Ely, blind for more than
eight years, is entitled to style him
self master of laws, ehaving received
the degree at the commencement ex-
ercises of st. Louis university at the
closing of the school year.
Ely, vino was an accountant en-
ployed by one of the largest banks
Of the city, acquired g. during that
time business training, which he
declared prepared him for the study
of law. Misfortune fell upon him,
and within a short time he lost his
only child and wife. The double shock
brought him to complete prostration
from which he recovered, minus his
sight.
Depressed, but not discouraged,
the stricken man became more de-
termined than ever to reach his goal.
He learned to make brooms at the
state school for the blind, but he
tired of this work and determined
to take up some profession, his
choice fell upon the study of law.
His only living relative, a married
sister with whom he lived, assisted
him in his study, and it is to her
that he gave most credit for achiev-
ing his life's ambition. Last year
Ely was given the degree of bachelor
Of law, ranking third among the
large class of candidates.

How do you know?"
Garrick pointedtoward a crack of

an auto pit for working on the un.

Through the edge shone a light.
