and had no intention of doing any work

How Some Women Are Building Library.


1t has Just come to notice what the wo-
men of small country town are doing to
earn a fund sufficient to start a free library
which, however, is only one of many
other benevolent projects for which they
find time to work Their method is so
simple and at the same time so successful
it ought to be told, if only to give encour,
agement to women elsewhere, who regret
their towns deficiency in reading room
or library.
The idea originated with woman who
was in charge afternoons and evenings OF
a small reading room, supported by yearly
subscriptions. She found herself the pos
SCISSOR of some half dozen paper covered
novels, which were in such demand she de-
termined to solicit more from her reading
acquaintance and loan them out at two
cents per day, the proceeds to be used to
swell the library fund. In a short time
her books had earned ten dollars, which
was at once invested in new books.
To further accelerate the good work thus
begun by one interested and enterprising
woman the women of all the different
churches in the town have banded together
to provide in turn for year ice cream and
cake every Saturday evening in exchange
for the much needed dimes. - Brooklyn

Twenty years ago married couple in
Pittsburg had quarrel and separated, the
husband going west. The wife and chill
dren took up home in Ohio with her par

knew where the other was. A few days
ago the husband visited Pittsburg on busi-
ness, and hearing that his wife was living
in Ohio he visited her. They made up,

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-(Special. j.
Senator Sherman has written let
ter that is far from taking the rosy
view of the Republican prospects in
Ohio that is prevalent in the republican
press. 1t was written to a Republican
departmental official and was intend
ed to be personally shown by the re-
ceiver to every Republican from Ohio
that is employed BY the Government.
In it the Senator says that he regards
it as imperativeIy necessary that
every Republican voter of the State OF
Ohio, now temporarily in Washington
shall at once return to the State in
order to help brace up the weak
members of the party who are show
ing disposition either to vote against
their old party or to stay at home. In
consequence of this letter it is said
that the department officials have in
timated that all Ohio voters employed
therein may take thirty days leave
with pay whether their annual leave
has all been used up or not. Evident
ly Senator Sherman isn't figuring OF
any fifty thousand majority.

"Let us not be deceived by superficial

who earn it that produces the distress.
If our circulation were today double
what it island it was all in the pockets
of a hundred thousand people, our
condition would not only not be
bettered but it would be worse than it
is. 1t is not the small circulation, it
is the small distribution that plaques
