LIBRARY DAY.
) Something That should Interest
livery Parent, Teacher and
Pupil.

As the BAzoo has noticed before
Superintendent of State Wolfe has
appointed November 9th as "Li-
brary Day." wherein it is hoped that
every school in the state will devise
some means to raise funds for a Ii.
brary, either small OF large, for the
use Of the students. The superiutend.
ent, in connection with several hum
dred educators of the state, for the
past month or two has been engaged
in selecting list Of choice books for
this purpose. In response to an in
quiry, as to the character of books,
Mr.. Vote says:
"Books of various kinds, especially
juvenile books on natural history, his
tory and biography, travels and classic
juvenile literature. The list of books
will contain some very choice travels,
richly and ins,ructively illustrated,
taking the reader into all the CONT
nents and giving him an inspiration
and an insight second only to actual
travel. What could be of greater
benefit to the youth than to see all
stages Of civilization spread out be.
fore him in a series of bOoks-from
the painted savage to the civilized
and enlightened. Our schools teach
too much geography OF location and
boundary and moi enough Of the
products, resources and life of the
people.
"Again. there is a line of history
and biography recounting those deeds
of heroism that have stirred the souls
of men in all ages and bringing out
the characters that have been rock
and oak in every storm.
"rhtre, too, are the juvenile class.
ics-those gems of literature which
ale as fascina ing to-day a. they were
a century or two ago.
My study OF juvenile literature(by
juvenile | do MT mean goody-goodlst
or good-for.nothing literature) has
been perpetual revelation and de-
light to me The number of choice
books for youth is simply marvellous.
My greatest satisfaction in the prepar-
alton Of this list is the thought of the
delight and benefit these, books will
give the youth of Missouri if the
school districts will only have the en-
terprise to buy them"
There are some 800 books comprised
n the list, and the superintendent
lays that any Missouri jobber or dealer
an obtain this list from him, for the
skiing in about two weeks.

A WAR RELIC.

We have been shown by Mr.. and
Mrs. John Graves, a unique and in
teresting relic of the civil war. in the
shape of halfgallon jar of peach
preserves, which were made in 1862,
twenty-nine years ago. The relic was
given to Mr. and Mrs. Graves, Octo-
Der 26, 1891, by Mrs. Wash Roberts,
of Rocheport. and its history is as fol.
lows: In 1861, John Roberts joined
the confederate army along with Ben,
Sam and Jack Ray, who were
brothers of Mrs. Wash Roberts. In
1892 this lady and her sister-in-law,
Mrs. John Roberts, were together
putting up preserves, jell,es &c.
They filed some jars which they
agreed not to open until their BROTH
ers and husband should return safe
from the war. 1t turned out that
John Roberts was killed, and as they
did not all get back, the ladies did not
open the preserves. Time rolled on.
Mrs. John Roberts moved to Califor-
MIA, where she married again, and
became the mother Of several children
and is now dead. Recently, Mrs.
Wash Roberts concluded she would
send some Of the preserves to these
children, and also to give some to her
friends, the Graveses. The pre-
serves are in first class condition,
of excellent flavor, and would, no
doubt, keep another quarter of a GEN.
fury. Wash Roberts has been for
many years a popular citizen Of
Rocheport, where he has done pillow.
making and blacksmithing. Ben
Ray lives near Estill, Sam Ray near
Rocheport, while Jack Ray is some
where in the state of Washington.
They may yet get together to eat some
of those fine old preserves, which were
made before the days of self.sealers,
shoddy and high-tariff sugar. Fay

II. Nourse, book keeper, were arrest
ed Friday afternoon on warrants
sworn out by Atkinson Bros dentists,
changing criminal libel. They .wert
taken before Justice Hawthorne,
where they gave bond for $500 each

the AtkinsOns with taking undue
advantage of female patients and
made other strong msinuations reflect
ing on their moral character. A evil
suit claiming heavy damages for libel
was instituted against the publication
by Atkinson Bros. several months
ago.

LARGE STORIES.

Harrison White, formerly of Coop
er county, and now q resident of Los
Angeles, California, had the reputa
ton when in Missouri of being q
truthful man, but since he emigrated
to the Pacific Slope he has demon.
strated that he can tell very large
anecdotes and below is found one that
emigrated from him, AMI for the sake
of the state that gave him birth, the
BAzoo hopes that it is true.
The following is clipped from the
Los Angeles Times, of November 10,
a time of year when, in that country,
only the smallest of the crop is har-
vested:
&C. II. White of Boyle Heights
brought in pumpkin vine yesterday
that rivals Jacks giant beanstock.
The main vine was over 100 feet long
and bore from twenty FIVE to thirty
pumpkins. The stalk is IL inches in
circumference, measuring four inches
from the root Oae such vine would
be equal to an average entire pump
kin "patch" in the East, although the
Californian who would have the au-
dacity to tell this truthful tale to
New Highlander would doubtless re-
ceive complimentary ticket u the
liars convention. Such is unbeIief in

People Of Central Missouri, you
who know Mr.. White, will appreciate
the story and you will also note the
length of the pumpkin vine.

TO SAVE THE BABIES.

There are over one hundred babie
born out of wedlock every month il
the public and private hospitals o
Chicago. Nearly all of these babie.
are offered for adoption by theil
mothers when they are two or three
weeks old, but being unable to give
them away they place them in the
baby farms or boarding houses to die
of slow death, or they dispose OF
them by other questionable methods.
Their mothers are not hardened
criminals, or women of the town.
They are deceived young women from
our factories and workshops who have
been led astray. Many of them are
country towns and have been sent to
Chicago for hospital service.
The babies are generally two or
thee weeks old when offered for
adoption. Most If them are healthy,
strong babies, entirely free from in.
heriied disease, black-eyed babies,
brown-eyed babies, blue-eyed babies,
blondes and brunettes, of every
nationality, and they are finer speci-
mems physically and mentally than
the average run of children born in
wedl0ck.
The Children's All Society of
Chicago has undertaken the rescue of
these babies from an untimely death,
and they ask the cooperation aud as.
sistance of all practicing physicians.
In case Of the death of an infant any
where in the country we ask that the
attending physician will recommend
to the bereaved mother that she adopt
one of these babies and nurse it and
raise it rs her own. If the doctor
will send Immediately description of
the lost baby, We will duplicate it
from the large number offered for
adoption and send it by the next
rain to lis new mother. The select
on viii be carefully made by a COM
oetent physician to secure perfectly
sound child.
The only expense to the receiver
will be the railroad fare of the nurse
who brings the child.

HOW BLESSED DEATH DOTH SEEM

We Rrieve so, when child dies,
And yet-life brings our hearts such
We long for death when older grown,
And wish 'twere time to 60.
We reach our hands with questionings
And hear no answer TO our prayers.
We feel alone the burdens press
Of disappointments and of cares.
We grieve So, when child dies.
White-souled in Heaven tor aye to
dream,
And yet, tired out when older grown
How blessed death doth seem.

DOESN'T HURT.

The B0onville Democrat says, edi-
torially, that Se1alia loses the general
freight department of The Katy road.
The office was located in st. Louis
this week. Sedalia can lose all of her
offices, and then be a livlier town
than some Others we know of.
