Tho City's Side.

The alley paving proceedings con-
tinue to occupy the attention of the
county court and jury. The plain
tiffs rested their case yester.
day afternoon, when j. d. Taylor
and John Crubaugh were intro.
duced in behalf of the city,
holding paving improvements as
material benefits to property.
Today ex-Mayor I. j. Medill, j. G.
Dart, William Hoeft and j. j. In
gram testified and likewise emphat-
ically upheld the city's contention.
The most important witness was Mr..
Medill, who held that in very few
cases does the assessment exceed the
enhancement of property.

TAKE TIME FOR HOME LIFE

The Mistake That tho Intensely Busy
American ALI Too Often Makes.
There are no buster people in the
world than Americans The rush and
Intensity of our business life excites
the constant wonder of foreigners ac-
customcd to more leisurely methods.
SAYS the New York Press. 1t is Ques-
tlon II American mc1 do not work too
hard and too fast no. merely for their
own good, but for the highest good of
their families. In their earnest desire
to win material benefits for their wives
and children they frequently toll with
such unwcarying industry that eating
and sleeping come to seem to them like
impcrtincnces, and they are hardly
more than transient visitors in their
households.
In the old Greek and Roman reli-
gions the father of the family was the
priest of the family. A profound sig
uiticaHcc undcrlics this ancient conccp-
ton. 1t is but an embodiment of the
eternal truth that the highest moral
responsibilities dcvolvc upon n man in
his character of husband and father.
That the married man of to-day often
finds himself unable to spend any con-
siderable portion of his waking hours
with his own family is owing largely
to the stress of business life and to the
ambitions fostcrcd in n country whose
citizens are welcome to the highest DO
sitions in the land if they can win
them. But this constant struggle for
material welfare should not be permit
ted to increase so far that the things
that are more excellent" are forgotten
or ignored.
Sometimes child dies, and then the
busy father may realize that it was in
deed little stranger who came to him
and went away again. He had watched
the growth of his business with intense
interest and he knew every aspect of
1T; but he had not had time to watch
the growth of childs mind and char
acter. The American wife and mother
can change in great measure this or
der of things by holding up true ideals
OF what constitutes success in life and
Of what makes home worthy of
the name; for the husband in O great
majority of cases is guided by the wife,
and will bring back to her what she
gives to him. If life to her means moth.
ing but money and social success she
binds her husband to q wheel that will
gradually crush the best that is in him.
But If it means a moral development
whose source of powcris sympathetic
and ennobling home life she will take
care that her husband has time to live.

LITERARY FINDS.

Sometimes Even Now an Apparently
Worthless Book Proves to Be Rare.
Probably the days arc gone by when
man could even hope to discover in a
six-penny box an early quarto of a
Shakspeare's play or rare tract on
America, but for all that literary
"finds" of more or less interest continue
to be made by keen book hunters. DIR.
Garnett of the British museum tells
how tradcsman at Oswcstry had in
his possession books to which he at
tached no Importance, but which a lady
informed him must be very rare. They
were submitted to the authorities at
the British museum, who gave high
price for them. One was Sir Anthony
Shcrley's "Wits New Dyall," published
in 1904, of which only one other copy is
known to be in existence.
AS rule, offers of rare books come
from booksellers, who do not always
say how they become possessed of them.
Among the private people who offer
books to tAe museum for sale are a
large proportion who think that n
book must necessarily be rare because
it Is one hundred years old or more.
Before the great catalogue was made
finds were occasionally made in the
museum itself, and even now volume
will occasionally be found which has
special interest and value on account of
its binding. In other cases book will
be found to be in q binding made up Of
leaves of some rare work far more valu-
able than the book itself.
