Minnie Morton's Sloney.
A CHILLY rain was falling. Though
the trees showed green in the park
and the yellow bushes glowed wet by
the fountain, it was cold and damp,
for a long, gusty May rain had set in.
; Minnie sat by the window of the tiny
tenement room with hor white face
pressed against the glass. Through
the wash down the pane she could see
the people hurrying by with their um
brellas bent, but her eyes were fas
tened on the corner, waiting for her
mother to come home. For Minnie's
mother cleaned the trash every after
noon from the great marble bank down
in the business center of the town.
The girl was a cripple and spent all
day in the. chair. But she tried to be
cheerful for her hard-worked mother's
sake. Presently around the corner
oame a familiar figure and Minnie
smiled with delight. A few minutes
more and Mrs. Morton was in the room
mklng off her wet cloak.
. "Here are some pretty bits of paper
I have brought you, dearie." said the
mother. "1 found a lot of different
colored bits in the waste-paper basket
and brought them home to you to make
mats."
Minnie took the bright rfrces of col
ored paper eagerly and began to clip
them into strips, while Mrs. Morton
lighted the fire and began to prepare
a simple) supper. The blinds were
closed, the gas lighted and the room,
though very bare, looked clean and
comfortable. Mrs. Morton, who was a
' widow, was poor, but loved Minnie
dearly, and did all in her power to
make the little cripple's life happy.
. -Mother." said Minnie, as her fln
rs (lew fast with the colored papers.
"I was Just thinking how nice it would
be if we could have a little home in
the country, where I could see the
trees and flowers and chickens.
Wouldn't It be line if we could?"
"You are so contented, Cear," re-

turned Mrs. Morton, "that I am sure
you would be happy anywheres"
"But 1 would love to get out of
these brick walls," sighed Minnie, "just
to sit out on the grass to see the trees
wave over one's head and hear the
birds sing. Wouldn't that be heaven?
Then to look across great fields and
forests how I would love the coun
try." It made Mrs. Morton sad to hear the
child talk thus, for she realized how
Impossible it was for a poor woman
like herself to leave the town in which
she had her humble work.
Suddenly Minnie gave a cry of sur
prise, but the mother was so busy over
the stove that she did not hear her.
There among the paper the girl saw a
roll of money bright, new. crisp bills.
She took it up in her quivering hands
and jerked off the rubber band which
held the notes together. Then breath
lessly she counted them out.
There were 40 bills, each for 100.
"Four thousand dollars," gasped the
girl. "What a fortune enough to
buv a home in the country, to pay a'
doctor to get me well and give mother
a rest. What luck J4000."
The girl folded and stroked the
money in delight it was a! fortune
fallen from the skies: more money
then she had ever seen in her life. She
saw her mother's tired face Deriding
over the stove; she thought of the long
days of labor and the humble room
with its window looking over smoking
chimneys. Now they were rich they
could live in a pretty place in the coun
try. Then she remembered; it was
not her money. Someone had acciden
tally dropped It and it must be re
turned. She turned sick with disap
pointment. "Mother." she called weakly, "here
Is something I found In the papers
$4000. It must have been dropped in
the waste-basket by mistake. Can you
find the owner?"
Mrs. Morton flew to the chair. "Yes,
I know whose it is!" she exclaimed in
excitement, "That paper came out of
the basket of the president of the
bank; it must have fallen in and he did
not notice it. I will run to his house
with it at once."
Out In the darkness and rain sped
the woman, and in an hour was knock
ing at the door of a big house in the
center of a great lawn. When the door
opened the president of the bank hap
pened to be in the hall.
"This Is your money, sir,' gasped
Mrs. Morton, reaching out to him the
roll of bank notes. "I found it In your
basket 4000."
The gentleman led. her Into his li
brary. "I had missed the money," he
said, "and could obtain no trace of it."
Then he asked her about her home.
Now. the banker, who was a rich but
childless man. was much touched at
the story of the poor widow and the
crippled girl.
"Madame," he said. "I appreciate
your position and your honesty. I have,
about 50 miles from-town, a small but
prettv place with a garden and or
chard around the cottage. I give It to
you for life. Your daughter shall re
ceive the best treatment that doctors
can give and I feel that In a few
months she will be well."
By the Fall Minnie came out of the
hospital a well girl and went to live
with her mother in their pretty cot
taite in the country.

Katherlne Frlek Helen Keller the
Second.
There are those who call Katherlne
Frick of Harrisburg. Pa.. "Helen Keller
the second." but those who know her
best consider this an uncomplimentary
title. Katherlne Frick is in many ways
in advance of the most famous deaf,
dumb and blind woman.
She is only IS years of age and can
neither hear nor see. She has. how
ever, learned to speak, and in this she
excels the remarkable Helen Keller.
Her words are not mumbled nor chat
tered, but she speaks with a clear-cut,
well accented expression that makes it
almost impossible to believe that she
has never beard a sound.
Her power of speech is due to her
keenly developed sense of touch. Thii
sense is so acute that she is enabled
to tell the exact shading of tone in the
speaker by placing her hands on the
throat and tongue. Katherlne Frick
entered the deaf and dumb school of
umiit Airv seven years ago. At that
time she was an underdeveloped fragile
child with an Immature mina. no ex
perience nor stability of character. She
was. in fact, so poorly developed as to
be scarcely able to walk alone.
Through the infinite patience of hex
teacher. Mabel P. Whitman, she was
brought through all of the educational
stages of the normal child. She was
tuaght first the sign language . by
means of words spelled into her hand
and , associated with the objects Bhe
touched. From this she was taught the
wretten word by raised letters and was
gradually prepared to read the lips by
touch.
Her love of Imitation Is almost as
keen as her sense of touch, and she
soon learned to try placing her lips
in the same way as the speaker. From
this she tried to place her tongue in
the same position and later compared
the delicate muscles of her own throat
with those of the person talking, to
be sure that the tone and accent were
Identical. Her entire education has
taken place since her ninth year.
Deafness has spared Katherine Frick
the necessity of hearing incorrect Eng
lish and her vocabulary is wonderfully
broad and perfect. Both in speaking
and writing her English is much above
the average.
Current events and the great things
of history have an unending interest
for the blind child and her knowledge
of the European war is very pro
nounced. By means of a raised map
she locates all of the important geo
graphical points and tells of their rela
tion to the war.
Sewing is another pastime in which
she delights. She can weave and cro
chet, knit and sew as well as the aver
age person who sees. She uses a sew
ing machine also, not merely running
soams and hems but making garments,
and she threads her own needle with
ease. She is an adept with the type
writer, seldom making a mistake.
She has rjad widely from well-selected
books, and in addition to her
knowledge of current affairs she has a
broad knowledge of the literary clas
sics. Those who have been closely as
sociated with the blind child declare
that she will have set a new standard
among the deaf and blind when she
has reached maturity.

Everyday Mesmerism.
PROBABLY if some one told you that
you were being mesmerized you
would resent it. Perhaps you would
reply rather caustically that you guess
you had a mind of your own and were
directing yourself and your affairs
quite to your own satisfaction.
Thaf is what most of us think. Isn't
it?
Yet a woman told me a little incident
the other day that set me to thinking
how easily we are mesmerized by
things or people about us without
knowing It, and how some of us may
be under such a mesmeric spell now
and not realize it.
This woman's husband came home
with a tale of how one man in the
office had bought a new automobile.
The new owner was of course jubilant.
The talk of the office was of the new
car and of new features in cars.
"And." concluded the woman with a
sigh, "our own car now isn't any good.
Tom was perfectly well satisfied with
his car till Mr. Blanlc got his new one.
But now our car is old and out of
date and fit only to be scrapped. And
I see what will happen. Before many
months, we'll have a new car though
we cannot really afford it."
It is a case of mesmerism, isn't it?
Her husband has been mesmerized by
the talk of that office. He has been
so hypnotized by what has been said
about new cars and the season's new
features in cars, and the enthusiasm
of the man who has the latest car that
he can no longer see for himself or
think for himself on the subject of
cars. What he sees and thinks is the
reflection of what he hears. His own
car is as good as it ever was. The en
gine works as perfectly. There is noth
ing wrong with the starter. But he
cannot see-this any more. He is under
a spell that sees only the desirable in
the newest and latest.
It is a common experience. Is it not?
We all have been at some time or other
mesmerized In the same way.
Our married sister or the neigh
bor next door gets a new hat; or we
go to church and see a preponderance
of smart, new millinery. All at once
we are dissatisfied with our own hat.
It is shabby. The bows are not on
right. The flowers look weather
beaten. It is exactly the same hat
that it was when we thought it very
smart and becoming. But we can no
longer see it in this way. A spell has
been cast over us that has warped
our vision.
We come back, to our home soma
time from a call and all at once the
familiar things look shabby. When
we left home, we looked about with
a sigh of content, everything was so
bright and cheery and comfortable.
The canary was trilling, the cat was
dozing by the hearth, and the cushion
on the davenport all seemed soft and
snuggly. But when we return, the
furnishings are old-fashioned and
countryfied. We haven't any gilt
chairs. There isn't any French cabinet
filled with bricabrac. We set the sofa
cushions up primly and wish they were
more richly embroidered! The fact of
the matter is we have been hypnotized
by the rich, distinctive furniture where
where we have been calling. We are
under the spell of its elegance, its
"period" charm. Our house seems to
lack individuality, character. We have
lost the power to see true values.
That Is what mesmerism always
does. It prevents us from seeing truly.
We do not use our own vision. We
see as the hypnotist sees.
And that is where we are likely to
come to brief if we permit ourselves
to be mesmerized In these ways.
We each have to see the things of
our life for ourselves, to view them
clearly in relation to our owns needs
and circumstances. When we try to
overlay them with another person's
manner of living, to color them or
change thera as it were to conform to
a viewpoint other than our own, we
are apt to bring only confusion and
discontent.
And if we find we are suffering from
a senFe of irritation or dissatisfaction,
let us see if there Is any true cause
for it often there Is or whether we
are merely under some mesmeric spell
that for the time being is making us
unable to see truly.
TRAFFIC LEAGUE FORMED
J. H. liothrop Returns From Meet

LIQUOR CHARGE DROPPED
Judge McGinn. Takes Pity Upon
Elderly Offender.
"You've been 'fudging on the law,"
Circuit Judge Henry E. McGinn told
Henry Simmons, an elderly man who
came before his court yesterday
charged with bootlegging before the
prohibition amendment went into ef
fect. With tears in his eyes, the man
promised to tread the straight and
narrow path, and Judge McGinn took
pity on him, releasing him after a se
vere lecture, in which he promised to
appear in court to testify against the
man if another attempt was made to
bootleg.
Simmons, who lives at 306 Second
street, was arrested November 14
charged with disposing of liquor on
Sunday. It appeared that he was a
saloon porter. Now he is out of a job.

'PORTLAND
AMERICAN IS FOR VILLA
W. Li. ALEXANDER, AFTER SERVICE
WITH GENERAL, LOUD IX PRAISE.
Ambition of Warrior Declared Not to
Be for Rule, and Friendliness to
Americans Asserted.
"Although sentiment largely Is against
Villa, the Mexican leader. It is without
Just cause. Villa, if given, the Ameri
can support he demanded, would have
redeemed Mexico to as great an extent
as it can be redeemed during the pres
ent generation of immorality. Car
ranza, if he succeeds to power, will not
hold his own because he is not the
man for the place." So says W. L.
Alexander, now a resident of Portland,
who served during 14 months in the
Mexican army under Villa. Mr. Alexan
der left the army two years ago, after
a long siege during which he became
personally acquainted with the Mexi
can leaders and factions.
"Villa I do not believe had any de
sire to rule the people," said Mr. Alex
ander yesterday. "I believe if he had
received the American , support he
wanted he would have placed some
brainier man at the head of the Mexi
can government, and would have as
sumed charge of the military end of
affairs and whipped Mexico Into shape.
Sentiment is largely against him in the
United States, but I do not believe it is
in Mexico.
"Personally. Villa is not the villain
he is picured. I never knew him to
do a cowardly act As to cruelty it
never was permitted by him. It was
the work of small detachments which
he could not control. He was a friend
of Americans. I know of dozens of
Americans he released from the jails,
even after he was refused the support
of the American Government."
JUNK THIEF 15 TRAILED

QUICKLY BIAN WHO ESCAPES.
Gas Inspector Surprises Pair at Work
Wrecking; S500 Worth of Material
to Get $3 In Brass and Babbitt.
Regular Scotland Yard detective work

Carlos, Russian Poles, destroying 1600
worth of machinery in the gas plant at

worth of Junk.
C. C. Baynard, gas inspector, caught
them at work, removing caps and nuts
to steal brass and babbitt, and armed
with a piece of gas pipe he sought to
hold them until he called for the police,
but Kosky escaped.
With assistance Mr. Baynard went
through the North End resorts seeking
to recognize the escaped burglar, and
in fact, Kosky passed right by him un
recognized. Then detective Craddock got on the
Job.
When he left the gas plant, the scene
of the robbery, he noticed a white sedi
ment on the edge of his shoes and at
the bottoms of his trousers. to ne
neglected the physical description and
began looking at feet.
In Erickson's he found a pair of feet
with white on them like his own. Above
them was a brown hat and dark mous
tache, tallying with description. The
man was supposed to have a wooaon
las', unnoticeable to the eye.
The detective ran his hand down the
Kiirnrised man's leg. felt it was of wood,
then arrested him. His hands also
bore the same grease that the hands of
Carlos bore, and the prisoner admitted
his identity.
