Hedges then proceeded TO tie rope

ter of the track Immediately in front
of the drawhead. While in this po-
sition and without the slightest

rolled down, catching and crushed
him between the drawheads. In the
hurry the men had not stopped to

something to read. Thoughtfully
she spoke, thoughtfully she acted
and troubled waters were Gained.
You young ladies who say you have
not time to work for the public
good or to store your mind with
valuable knowledge, think of this
mother and grandmother of a
household with hundred perplex-
ing problems in her mind taking
time to write lecture that has sur
prised all that heard it. Think of
Mrs. Gregg in the darkest nights OF
the season driving in from her
home through the mud to drill the
choruses for our Library entertain
ments. Think of her well directed
energies experimenting so many
duties and never cay you have not
the time. The most intellectual cen
ter ia our community the past year
has been our library rooms. The
literary work that has gone out
from the literary societies that have
gathered from week to week there
has furnished hallowed influence
for which our community can just
ly be proud. II is a problem wor-
thy of consideration for Baxter
Springs what shall she do for
public library. Fourteen years ago
this very season our Library was
FIRST formed by the high school OF
the city. -Four years ago 1t was
turned over for the use of the Nor
NAL and Business College. but now
as we can have no college or high
school q question of much signifi-
cancy presents itself. A library lie
said to be a university. If We can
not have the college or the high
school why not have the university
in the form of n public library
