SOUTH HI;M), INDIA i:i,IM M!: AM) Ye want to congratulate- hen. Gruljc, of Plymout h, upon the defense. of liis bill ;o create a commission for aid to the. adult l.lind, made before the Mate senate Monday. Thire was a. rnui.irc or. IrJiiiaiiitan.ir.i.-iii in hi.s talk, quite liffere:it from much else; that has I'f t n said in that branch of the legislature, x,l to l-m present elarini? the session. The Kcneral tendency to measure everything by the lule of dollars and cents, was iv-n at least a temporary shock, it appears, nnd anticipating the concurrence of the house the situation bids fai;' to launch Indiana, upon an enlarged r-areer of s r ice to mankind other than through the pocketbooks that fatten en pr!its. The hill call.- for an appropriation of $l,000 to he expended by the commission mainly in the development of industrial schools, and in lindinu' employment for th- adult blind; also a market for the products of the ir toil, opposition to the bill wanted it cut t $."..000 and failing in that, two voted against the bill altogether. What broke the back f the opposition Was Sen. cirube'.s challenge thrown at the smite, ursine it to do something; for unfortunate humanity before f-p-in' any farther in the shedding of monetary tears f.r our unfortunate cattle, sheep and hoTlirr is teo much tendency about every ( uislature to think only of the monetary side of thin-s. It is easy mom.';, to et an appropriation r f $2f,00, as was done two -.ears ri'-ro, to fiht hoe; cholera. llos have- a market value, but since slavery was abolishee" human beings seem to nave been stripped of all economic proportions. Mention something Oat is to assist mankind th- unfortunate contingent of mankind, whether his disease b' blindness, insanity, criminality, or mere poverty, and the way the economic hand tfoes up in holy horror, while the wail against paternalism weil-r.U'h shakes the distant hills, makes one almost to wonder what the flood Lord was thinking f when 1 1 o t ndowv f humanity with His likeness. .Sen. (Irube made a brave ti'ht, and won so far as the senate It re mains te, he seen what this sihtoss will amount to in the house, where any thin-: that is to make life easier and more livable for a human except to escape taxes. seems to raise an even louder wail of "paternalism." than in the senate. Xo wonder lit p. Jbm'crtv. a while au'o. lost his temper over so much "economy" talk in the lower louse, and denounced it as having degenerated to what was naught but "parsimony." Then' is a difference between the two. or at least ouirht to be. and it would bo a ele.s. r int: compliment to Sen. drub if Hep. 11 l'.:erty w ubl follow his "stamp act" sp, e. h up. with a humanitarian appeal for aid to tt.e blind. It is an administration measure, advocated by I he govern. r in his message, anil so no one rued be afraid of tiie t!elaaeraey of it. Furthermore it is somewhat in k epin-T with Hep. Harrty's speech m the bouse against the Neil eugenic martial. bill. He conceded tin re I I s ; t th 1 evils of soep-ty aro to a debtee l'c!.o!is:ble for soeiet"'s unfortuntis. Then certainly society huhl take care of its ietims. or at bast help them to take eare of themsls. spevially until it has cpuie the limit in an effort to t radicate those cils.

With scarcely one winter's schooling from books, this vision made him one of the most learned men of his time, for learning consists in knowing well th. true essentials. Horn of the poor whites of a slave state and inheriting the hatred held by his class for the regro, what could have guidcel i his hand in freeing the millions of black slaves what but this life-electrifying vision? The natural bent is most decidedly shown In the case ef A. T. Stewart, who, when he landed in New York, at 1G, wanted to be a drygoods clerk and canvassed the town for a job that would pay him enough wages to enable him to save something; finding th wages offered too small for that, ho taught school until he had enough money saved to buy a small Mock of drygoods of his own, and he betrnn business as proprietor, clerk, porter and office-boy alone. A Nillet paints on a canvas "The Man With the Iloe" and a Markham writes a poem on the same subject. If eacli had attempted the other's task, both would have remained in obscurity: but, as it was, each working in his own soul-inspired way, the one in art, the nthcr in literature, both evoked r thought that has caught the conscience of the ae and is moving it to mighty reforms. Opportunity is generateel within. It is born as the twin of efficiency thi: pkici: or mtr..i. The sensational rise in the price of flour makes a higher price for bicad inevitable. If the bakers do not advance the price of the single loaf, they must reduce its size, or dilute it3 quality. For the poor immigrant, who etftrn pays not over $1.00 a, week for foq,d, bread is the main dependence. He may have his kettle of soup, brewed from bemy hunks of meat that no one else will touch. But this costs little, and is merely an appetizer. I lis long rolled loaf, serving for several meals, :s the main backbone for his muscular task. When he acquires a family his board 'bill increases, but a household of bread caters lives cheaply. IJut a 2o to 50 per cent advance is a blow. Mrs. Julian Heath ef New York, president of the Housewives league, says that in this exigency, more families should accustom themselves to the use of corn bread, the price of which has not risen appreciably. Also much might be said of the va!uo and healthf ulness of rye. It is a singular fact that a great many well to elo families always use corn and rye Hour prominently, preferring their flavor, while many peor families continue to stick to white wheat flour, even in times of scarcity, and in spite of the fact that much of the nutriment of wheat is lost in the process of bolting. In many obi time homes, corn johnny cake was a special treat that made the children's eyes sparkle. Served steaming hot, it brought the comfort of summer sunshine on a wintry morning, and its golden color made i seem almost like sponge cake. Hasty pudding was another staple that the old timers would prefer to the most fancy elessert your modern cook j weuld devise. White Hour products! will come high before the new crop : is i en the market, ami thrifty cooks will seek substitutes. vali:ntim: s ?.vy. St. Valentine's used te) be eiuito a holiday. It was a day principally for what is called "calf love." Young folks of 12 to 20, in the early stages ef sentiment, thought hng and arelently upon the valentine offering to be sent to their best friend. Steicks of rival stores were carefnlly ceunparoel te) tind the most aflettionate sentiments in the mcst beautiful setting. Posting the missive was an anxious moment. With what embarrassed ardor a fellow awaited his next sight e)f his adored one, to see how she took it! Todav Valentine seems to bo mo-tly a kid saint. Vcaly love seems perhaps not quite so common as it was. The kidlots are so busy playing games ami attending their little clubs, that precocious sex sentiment may be a little w t aker. Popular youngsters get their aleniino reminders by the dozen, and the mantel-piece looks quite gay with this exchange etf juvenile courtesies. The ipitstion is asked as to what lias become of the boy that used to spend all his spare time winters sawing up wood for the family stoves? wen. apparently ne nas grown up, 1 and his son has gone down tt the cluit to play pool.

Sec'y Fryan sent a number of friends a little booklet last Christmas entitled "A Message From Fcthlehem." One of these went to Ambassador SpringKicc of Great Dritain. A few days ago. at the close of a conference, liryan asked SJpring-IUce: "ily the way, how did you like my little book, "A Message From Dethleh?m"V Now, the Fritish are supposed not to have any sense of humor. The Fritish ambassador, however, replied: "1 liked it: but I couldn't tind a word about Mr. Schwab in it." Chart: Charlie. Schwab runs a steel mill at Fcthlehem. Pa. Ia the same connection It may be remarked that Folville Barclay, counsellor for the Fritish embassy, has either an especially keen sense of humor or else none at all. Barclay came up to the state department the other day on an errand, and while there was asked by a newspaper man to tell him something about the war situation. The diplomat evaded the questions, and this led the correspondent to remark: "This is certainly the most confidential war I ever heard of. The countries involved seem to want the whole thing kept quiet. One might almost term it a clandestine war." "That's just it." agreed the Britisher, earnestly. "You see the war is just a little affair between ourselves." On a cold January night one of the coldest of the winter a lone man walked up the driveway to the' main entrance of the White House. He looked like a strong, robust man, perfectly able to perform a full day's work if he could just find the work to do. Yet he had no overcoat. Now, with all the talk abenit the great number of persons out of employment, one is prepared to see able-bodied men going without overcoats; hut the sh'ht of an overcoatless stranger heading boldly for the front tloor of the White House on a colel night Is a thing to make one stop and look. Those who saw tile man diel stop and look. The fellow walked unhesitatingly past the ettlierr em guard, and the ' doorkeeper actually let him in. A moment later he was received by the president of the United States. You may possibly have received th impression from the onening para-! graph that the overcoiitlcss man was ; overcoatless through lack of employment. Ah. no. Not at all, not at all. To the contrary, the fellow has a most desirable job. to wit: the job of Fniteel States senator from New Jer- j soy. The person we have been talking about was Sen. Billy Hughes. i "Why. Tlilly!" exclaimed the presi- I dent of the United States. "Wha are you doing out a nh'ht like this Hhm.t an overcoat?" 'ox ym a trreat fresh-air crank, Mr. President." Sen. Hughes explaineel. and I never wear an overcoat." "If you aren't careful." suggested e president, "people will think you n't ejwn an e.vcrroat ' "And that. declared Hugheth don "would be the exact truth. 1 don't ewn one." Ho doesn't, eitlier. And he wears the lightest underwear he can l-uy. Yet he defies the ra.w. changeable Washington winter climate to make him put on an overcoat. The; explanation is that Hughes is a rod-corpusH.deel person, and keeps his body heated by his own steam. He is an athlete and, among other tliintTc o rVi'imniun suinimfr with :i recertl of having rescued some halfjff a dozen persons from (frowning.

TIIIIHi: is a. hopeful note in the call for a meeting- of the high school alumni association, though it may take u second call to elicit a response from a body which one of the members describes as a "moribund mummy." That means embalmed before death, we presume, and is rather graphic if impossible. In that elder day the h. s. a. a. was a live wire. To be a member was a local distinction which shed its aura over the surrounding country. It seems to have fallen into decay in inverse proportion to the number entitled to its honors. Here's hoping the resurrection may be complete. THK British, our dear cousins, have, not for the first time, taken unlue liberties with the American, flag by sailing a merchant ship under it to escape interference. Now when it comes te commercializing the starry banner we Americans were supposed te bear the palm, but the British have us faded. AS a rule we think men wemhl be willing, as in the past, to accept women for their wives without an official clean bill of health and it would be a gallant courtesy to omit them from eugenic legislation passed by the Indiana assembly, but let's make that a capital BUT why temporize with what concerns us most or take a chance of sacrificing the future of the rare for the sake ef being polite?

In the meantime the fellow had made his entrance and by the time Mr. Brumbaugh got located where he could command a good view of the front door, the burglar was located in the library.
