HAPPY MISS KELLER.
HER. THOUGHTS USED ‘TO BEAT
AGAINST HE‘R FINGER TIPS.
Though Blind. Deaf and Formerly Mute.-
She Now Expresses Her Joyous Feelings
in Articu'ata Sounds. Her Pretty Mt.
Airy Speech.
‘ The Philadelphia Record says:
Finished oratory could not have claim-
ed closer attention from an audience
than did the half-blurred, yet happy
words which fell from thelips of Helen
Keller, the famous deaf and blind girl '
at Mount Airy. Heb speech was the
crowning event of the proceedings of
the American Association to Promote
the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf.
Clad in- a girlish costume, with dark...
ringlcts falling to her shoulders and a
bright smile illuminating her face, she
took the platform to talk on “The Value
of Speech to the Deaf.” .
Without a trace of embarrassment
she began her little speech. To many
of her hearers the articulation was
somewhat indistinct, and for the bene-
fit of those familiar with the signs of
the deaf and dumb Dr. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell translated her words by the
'manual alphabet. She‘said:
“If you knew all the joys I feel in
being able to speak to you to-day I
think you would have some idea of the
value of speech to the deaf, and you
would understand why I want every
deaf child in this great world to have "
an opportunity to learn to speak. I
know that much has been said and
written on' this subject, and that there
is a wide difference of opinion among
teachers of the deaf in regard to oral
instruction. It seems very strange to
me that there should be this difference
of opinion; I cannot understand how
any one interested in our'education can
fail to appreciate the satisfaction we
feel in being able to express our
thoughts in living words. Why, I use
speech constantly, and I cannot begin;
to tell you how much pleasure it gives
me.
“Of course, I know that it is not al-
ways easy for strangers to understand
me, but it will be by and by; and in
the meantime I have the unspeakable
happiness of knowing that my family
and friends rejoice in my ability to
speak. My little sister and baby
brother long to have me tell them
stories in the long summer evenings
when" I am at home, and my mother
and teacher often ask me to read to
them from my favorite books. I also
discuss the political situation with my
dear father, and we decide the most
perplexing questions quite as satisfact-
ory to ourselves as if I could see and
hear. So you see what a blessing
speech is to me. It brings me into ten-
der relationship with those I love, and
makes it possible for me to enjoy the
sweet companionship of a great many
persons from whom I should be entire~
1y cut ofi if I could not talk. ‘
“I can remember the time before I
learned to speak, and how I used to
struggle to express my thoughts by/
means of, the manual alphabet—how
my thoughts used to beat against my
finger tips like little birds striving to
gain their freedom, until] one day Miss
Fuller opened wide the prison door and
let them escape. I wonder if she re-
members how eagerly and gladly they
spread their wings and flew away. or
course it was not eaSy at first to fly.
The speech -wings were weak and
broken and had lost all the grace and
beauty that had been theirs; indeed,
nothing was left save the impulse to
fly, but that was something. , é.
“One can never consent to creep
when one feels an impulse to soar. But,
nevertheless, it seemed to me some-
times that I could never use my speech
wings as God intended I should use
them; there were so many difficulties
in the way, so many discouragements;
but I kept on trying, knowing that
patience and perseverance would win
in the end; And while I worked I'
built the most beautiful air castles,
and dreamed dreams, the pleasantest
of which was of the time when I should
talk like other people; and the thought
of the pleasure it would give my, mother
to hear my voice once more sweetened
every effort and made every failure an
incentive to try harder next time.”
At the conclusion of her speech Miss
Keller conversed for a short time with
her teacher, Miss Sullivan, to show the
audience her method of reading the
motion of the lips simply by resting a
forefinger vertically upon them. She
is an expert in telegraphy of this kind
that she can understand everything
Miss Sullivan says when talking at the
rate of 200 words a minute.
The Spring Poet’s Difficulties.
The poet sang a song of spring, of
zephyrs sweet and vernal, of groves
that ring and brooks that sing and mel-
odies eternal. He sang of grasses
growing lush, of grové‘s by birds in-
vaded—then through two feet of flow-
,ing slush across the street he waded.
He sang of deep umbrageous grots
and odoriferous zepbyrs, of shady spots
and flower plots and sweet and loving
heifers. He sang of fiowerburdened
breeze and sweet melliflous glory, and
then went out and froze his knees—
but that’s another story. -
The poet sang a song of spring "and
ode of rythmic dizziness, of groves that
ring and birds that sing and all that
kind of business- He sang of showers '
. and brooks andgfioweers, this wrapt
poetic wizard,.then roamed around for
thirteen hours lostin a 'snowy bliz-
zard.
He gang of daisied upland slopes and
woods of glorious greenery, and trot-
ted out all kinds of tropes todecorate'
his scenery. He sang how swallows
fly and dip, told how the groves were
ringing—-and then went out and
caught the grip and discontinued sing;-

VERMONT’SMflBEAR KILLER.
His Warfare Not Really Sportsmanlike
But Quite En’ective, '
Old Ike Pratt, of Bennington, is Ver-
mont’s greatest bear hunter, and his
method of dispatching the animals is
as original and unpretentious as his
own character. He kills bears with a
hatchet. He doesn’t hunt the crea-
tures in the woods, says the Spring-
field Republican, but waits until he
gets them into a trap before he begins
splitting them;- but considering the
number of bears he has converted into
meat this way, and the fact that at 73
years he is still in the business, his
specialty as a bear man is worthy of
special note. When he goes out to
empty his traps he carries a gun with
him for safety, and occasionally when .-
he finds some unusually quick-tem-
pered and uncompan-ionable bear he
has to use it. Occasionally, too, when
he hasn’t his hatchet with him he uses
a stout club. But his regular bear-
sticking outfit consists of his hatchet
and a big jackknife with. a blade like
on eighteenth century pirate’s cutlass,
which he uses to do the final carving.
, When he runs across the bear,caught
in his trap, he always makes sure first
that he is in tight. Having assured
himself of this, Mr. Pratt gets out his
hatchet or ln’s club, sticks his knife in
a tree near by, and goes to work. He
himself walks up in a calm and confi-
dential way and waits around, he says,
just outside of the reach of the teth-
.ered animal, until the bear gets sort
of used to-him. Then he draws up his
hatchet and waves it around in front
of the bear, and when he sees a chance
he raps him either betvveenthe eyes
or on the nose, That stuns the bear,
and before he collects his bruised and
wandering thoughts “Ike” has jumped
in with his knife and emptied his re-
maining life through his jugular vein.
lears a e good boxers, he says, but he
never iissed his blow yet.
. A bear that is quite .old, too, will dis-
courage a too close acquaintance on
,thc'part ‘of any one. But, then, it is
all a matter of knack. There was a
man in Pownal a few years ago, he
says, who didn’t have no knack—in
fact, it was his first bear that he
tackled. He heard it yelling in back
of the house, and started out with his
axe. The first blow the bear counter—
ed and knocked the axe out of the
man’s hand. Then he turned a com-
plete somersault, and/when he came up
again he carried the man’s shirt and
vestand also considerable of the su-
perficial area of his abdomen on his
hind claws. This made the man some-
what more cautious. - He waited
around a good while and took a .good
deal of lively exercise, but finally he
got in a first-class hit, which raised his
batting average considerably, and won
the gait -._ But he had a good day's
bear in... .ing out of it when it was all
done.
Mr. Pratt is a fine workman with
bears, u ho enjoys his work from the
standpoint of an artistic workman,
but takes it more or less as a matter
of. course, without any fuss or self-ad-
vertisement. For instance. when
asked how many bears he has killed
in his lifetime, he figures the number
at about sixty. Now, as he has been
trapping since he was 25 years old, or
for forty-eight seasons almost contin-
uously, and has taken out of the woods
from two to six bears every year, the
probability is that his score is fully
100 by this time. '
Nutrition in‘ Food.
Beef is the most nutritious of all ani-
mal foods, and can be eaten continu-
ously for a longer time than any other
kindof meat. It resembles rice and
bread in this respect. ‘Fresh beef is
almost completely digested, more com-
pletely than milk is, by an adult. The
time required is less than that needed
for any other variety of flesh, except
boiled or broiled fish or chicken, soft
boiled eggs or oysters, . ,
Veal has more waste, more water,
less protein and less fat than beef. It
possesses less nutritive value than
either beef or mutton, and is lacking
in flavor. When veal is slaughtered
too young it is apt to be tough, pale,
dry and indigestible. In Germany
veal is considered as easily digested
as beef and is frequently prescribed
for invalids. In America and England
the'opinio-n is general that veal and
lamb are foods that ought to be avoid-
ed by people with weak digestive abil-~
ity. Veal broth is nutritious and at-
fords a pleasing variety, but if given
in excess may cause diarrhea. The
time required for digestion (about four
hours) is longer than for beef, mut-
ton, lamb or bacon, but is less than f01
ham or duck. -
An Irishman’s Understanding.
A domestic, newly engaged, preSent- ,
ed to his master one» morning a pair
of boots, the leg of one of which was
much longer than the other.
“How comes it that these boots
not of the same length?”
“I raly don’tknow, sir; but what
bothers me the most is that the pair
:down stairs are in the same fix.” ‘
