Tom was coatless and the rest of his clothing was very much the worse for salt water. The sailor suits of his two companions were faded and torn, and Freddie suffered the handicap of a lost shoe. The rest were all young. Tom thought they might be drummer boys or despatch riders, or something like that.
In times of distress, whether it is financial or mental, the most pitiable person is the one without family ties. A family of children may be a handicap at such times, but often it is the very thing that keeps people from failure.
It is this human side that is the key, and if we do not act in full accord with it we will probably be working against a great handicap. The inertia works two ways. It hurts a progressive man just as much to be tied to a work that requires no brainwork as it hurts a sleepy member to be disturbed by progressive talk. Money not the Only Dividend.
This demand will be lessened when the public learns to look upon blindness as a physical, not a mental handicap, and when, instead of compelling persons so handicapped to sit on the side lines holding their broken swords, it leads them forward, places a new sword in their hands, and brings them the glad tidings that they are needed on the firing line.
She treated him exactly as though he suffered no handicap, demanding from him all the little services she would have asked from a man who was physically perfect.
Verman was unfortunately tongue-tied, but he was valiant beyond all others, and, in spite of every handicap, he became at once the chief support of his own party and the despair of the opposition. On the third Saturday this opposition had been worn down by the successive captures of Maurice Levy and Georgie Bassett until it consisted of only Sam Williams and Penrod.
The two points on which that suspicion had been founded the absence of return cargoes and the locality of the French end of the enterprise were not, he now saw, really suspicious at all. Mr. Coburn's remark met the first of these points, and showed that he was perfectly alive to the handicap of a oneway traffic.
The captured runners become pursuers, and the one who was "it" takes his or her place at the rear of the other line. A form of sport where the contestants are fastened in sacks with the hands and feet confined and where they race for a goal by jumping or hopping along at the greatest possible speed under this handicap.
The Allies keep their treaties, and do not ask a German prisoner to fight against his brother. The Allies obey the laws of right and wrong, but the Ten Commandments are a great handicap in time of war. Is there any one who supposes that six million of Allied soldiers, working sixteen hours a day, are as fresh and as fit as six million Germans, working only eight hours a day?
The names of the many women who gave devoted service to this cause during this score of years can never be recorded. During the past twenty years the advocates of woman suffrage have continued to suffer from the handicap peculiar to Delaware no referendum to the voters possible on constitutional amendments and therefore it never has had the advantage of a State-wide educational campaign.
