SEE THE WORLD B * THROUGH BABY’S EYES * A KKK KKK KKK K KKK Colorado Springs, Feb. 25.—In 2 little home at Lake George, 25 miles from here, there is a baby boy, who, when he grows up, will be able to tell his father, his mother and bro- ther and sister of the beauties of the mountain region in which they live, but which have been shut out to them throughout their lives. This baby, the pride and wonder of the entire district, possesses the blessing of sight, denied all other members of the family. The baby’s father is Benjamin Richards. He is blind. The little mother, now the happiest woman in all Colorado, was Miss Myrtle Higby. She was born blind. She was a student in the state school for blind and while there met Richards. -His sight had been destroyed in an accident. Drawn together by their affliction which sent them through the world in darkness, Richard and the little blind girl wére married. Five years ago a baby girl was born. Anxious- ly, they waited for the word that would tell them whether the inno- cent little newcomer had also en- tered the world in darkness. Their hearts were torn when they were told the baby girl would never see. Three years later a baby. boy arrived and he, too, had been denied the gift of sight. Two years passed. A little girl; now five years old, played in a world of darkness about her mother who had also never seen the light of day. A little-boy groped about the floor, his sightless eyes turned toward the mother whom he knew only by the’ sound of her voice, or the touch of love from her hand. It was a home of darkness; father and mother un- able to look upon their children and the little ones growing and blossom- ing despite the blight cast upon them at birth. But neighbors told mother Richards that her little ones were pretty children and she smiled and » .. 8hips; it ‘would be better not to try ‘. the experiment at all. +~For Northern Minnesota. _+ ..y.Northern. .Minnesota,” a new .+ TORthIY..publication,. issued by the ~—NoFthern Minnesota Publishing com- 170, BADY.
