The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-08-25

We had what we called library par
ty, where every young lady dressed in
some costume that suggests the title Of a
book. There were a librarian and pages
to wait upon the readers Each gentle
man came to the librarian aud obtained
a readers card, which had his name
written across the top.
When gentleman drew book-in
other words. young lady-the librarian
wrote her name on his card, and in the
course of the ive minutes during which
he was allowed to keep book out he
must guess from her costume the title Of
the bOol, she represented, and write that
title opposite her name on his card
When the hour for closing the library
came the cards were taken in and com
pared, and the one who bad guessed the
largest number Of books correctly r.
ceived prize 1t Is much easier than al
first it would seem to prepare the COS
tunes
/ would suggest some for illustration
but that would reveal the secret, which.
of course, must be kept from the gentle
men who are likely TO take part This is
a splendid device for getting people &C
quainted. because the librarian may give
any book that happens to be in to the
gentleman who is calling for one.-COr

Guests to BE Dreaded.

"The people whom | most dread as
guests" remarked a woman noted for
her generous hospitality, "are those who
have 10 capacity for small pleasures.
Any reader who is accustomed to enter
tain much will easily recognize the class
to which the speaker referred.
They are the persons who are restless
unless something is continually 'going
on" as they express 1t. They cannot
seem to enter into the quiet enjoyments
of the family in which they are visiting
A walk, with no special object in view
Is TO them the tamest sort of recreation.
They cannot understand auother's de-
light in finding new flower; they won
der why. you go out on the veranda to
view fine sunset; the success of a new
stitch in embroidery or new receipt in
cooking; the pleasurable excitement in
tracing quotation; the arrival of new
book-all these are triAes beneath their
notice.
If there are children in the household
they pay no attention to their little am
billions and accomplishments. Mary's
amateur playing or Johns crude at
tempts at painting have little interest to
the visitor who has no gift for finding
happiness in small pleasures, but to find
1t thus is a gift well worth cultlvatiug

GIVE THE FARMERS a CHANCE.

It's hold your wheat up north. Down
south it's hold your cotton. Now let the
wool men hold their wool. coal men hold
their coal whisky men hold on to the
whisky, Salt men hold the salt, and where
the ID will we all be? This holding
business might be contagious.-El Dorado
Times.
If the conditions of supply and de-
mand throughout the world prevailed as
to these other products mentioned as
exist in regard to wheat, do you sup
pose the producers of them would not do
the same thing? And isn't it, in effect,
being done as it is through the operations
of trusts and combines that control the
production and sale Of everything, al
most? And isn't it reasonably certain
that somebody will hold the present
wheat crop for higher prices, IN view of
the shortage in the worlds supply and
certain extra demand for the American
surplus? If so, why not permit the
farmers to have at least part of the
benefits of the good prices which the
situation insures little later, and which
situation may not recur in a lifetime:
Give the farmers a chance.
