Ellin la 8t Nicholas under the title of “Helen Keller and Tommy Stringer.” Mr. Ellis says: A little child lived In black eUenoe. Thera never was midnight so dense as the tarknees that enveloped his mind. Sight and hearing were gone utterly and for ever. The child knew absolutely nothing, except that sometimes from somewhere Something put food Into his mouth and moved him about when necessary. His world was limited by as much of his little crib as he could feel with his hands and by the touch of this something that cared for his wants. The merest babe knows the sunlight and its mother’s voice and face. Five years had passed over this little boy as he lay on his hospital cot, but he know less than a month old infant—less indeed than the least of the beasts of the field. He was completely shut up in a living tomb ,of flesh, with no communication between himself and the great world about him. Yet within that prison was a healthy brain, open to all the possibilities of life. Since the terrible sickness that had como to him in infancy, little Tommy Stringer hart lain thus among strangers. His mother was dead. His father could not help him. From his birthplace In Wash ington, Pa., the helpless sufferer had been removed to a hospital in Alleghany. But no institution wanted this troublesome charge, who would require the constant attention of n teacher. Bo the almshouse seemed the only haven for Tommy. There at least ho could find a shelter. But it was not to be so. Light was ahead—the glorious light of knowledge. One who had been similarly shut in by the walls of a triple affliction was to lead Tommy Stringer.out into the bright light that she herself enjoyed. It was during the summer of 1890 that the qev.s of Tommy’s sad plight came to Helen Koller. The sensitive soul of this 10-year-old girl woe deeply affected. She, K no one else, would save the poor boy. Thenceforth Tommy became the burden of Helen’s thought and conversation. She talked about him to her friends. She wrote fetter upon letter asking aid for him. At this time occurred a pathetic in cident that was the means of turning to ward the little blind boy the kindly inter est and generous gifts that accomplished his rescue. The ix>t and playmate of Helen when she was' at home was a beautiful New foundland dog. Through a foolish- blun der, this animal was shot by a policeman. When the news came to Helen, she had no word of reproach, but simply said, with beautiful charity, “I am sure they never could have done it if they had only known what a dear, good dog Lioness was. ” The story of her low was published widely, and from far and near—even from across the ocean—came to Helen offers of money or another dog. The little girl had only one answer to all these kind expres sions. She was grateful, but she did not care for another dog to take the place of Lioness. Nevertheless the gift would be accepted, if the donor so desired, on behalf of a little deaf, dumb and blind boy, for whom she was trying to raise money enough to bring him to Boston to be edu cated. In evety direction Helen sent this mes sage, always in a ■specially written person al letter that was marked by the sweet simplicity and remarkable ability of the. author. For a long time these letters averaged eight a day, and a marvelously versatile and eloquent little pleader Helen showed herself. She also wrote for news paper articles addressed to children, as well as general appeals—never any two precisely alike. Helen instituted for her self a rigorous course of self denial (absti nence from soda water and other prized luxuries), that she might save money for her one great object. The result of all this effort was the securing of sufficient funds to Insure Tommy at ileast two years of ed ucation at the Kindergarten For the Blind, Jamaica Plain, Mass. ,“ • ths fie- >? . lisiih X/V •’ . /7 FOR SALE. 420 acres of land, lying in a body adja. cent to the village of Orchard Hill, Ga., and fronting Central Railroad of Georgia over one mile.
