MANIA FOR FICTION.

Butte IS no exception to London, New
York, Boston and Chicago in its absorp-
ton of fiction, If we may rely upon such
good authority as the Bookman. This is
an era of fiction and story writer's. Our
great historians are dead. Our Longfel-
low and Whittier and Poe our Sake ana
JOAQUIN Miller live only in memory. We
have Ella Wheeler Wilcox and James
Whitcomb Riley left. One is amusing
and the other serious, but nobody cares
to commit their poems to memory. Peo-
pie who come to Butte from the east to
cast their fortune with US are such as
have obtained a common school educa-
ton. which comprehended history and
historical subjects. Hence they feel that
a revival is unnecessary. and they skip
hooks of that character in looking about
for something to read. Story writer's are
turning out novels like grist in @ mill. Fiv-
cry month, two or more novels appear.
Some will live but a month or two and be
forgotten. Others will live forever, es-
pecially productions from the pen of An
thony Hope, notably the Prisoner OF
ZenGa' Marie Corelli is wonder in
swiftness of production. Competent
critics assert that she will tire the read
ing public with the pultipliclty OF her
books. Readers who aim to keep up with
everything new in romance have to take
a day off to keep up with Corelli. She was

AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Calling at the Auditorium building, the
reporter had peasant interview
with the librarian. Mr.. Russell showed
him a tin box filled with new member
ship cards. which represented the in
crease over the last quarter, a bunch
/. cards. although the librarian had not
figured ii up, and being a man prone to
accuracy, he would not even place an
estimate on the collection. The demand
for more room to accommodate visitors
to the library necessitated the removal
of the Woman's club to other quarters.
Seventy seats are occupied nearly all
day by readers coming and going, Sax
urdays and Mondays witnessing the
greatest number. The two ladies at the
window screen are constantly employed
in attending to the requests of visitors
for books to read in the library, and
waiting upon those holding membership
cards and who take the books home. On
the 10th of the present month 212 people
were counted sitting about the library
at various periods of the day.
Prose fiction exceeds all other works
combined by a large majority. To give
an idea of the bent of mind of those read
ers who visit and patroniZe the library,
the following table discloses the number
and character of the books passed ou:
to visitors on the 18th of November:

ton of David Corson,' by Goss, and
''The Prisoner of Zenda," by Anthony
Hope. These are given preference over
tthe standard authors. Dickens, Scott
and Trollope are sighted.
What do the public school children
read? They come at steady rush to the
library from to 6 in the afternoon and
often times later. The librarian says
they like best the twenty books of Alger,
King Otis and Henty, along with
steady reading Of thea works of Mayne
Reid. Books covering the history of the
, revolutionary war for independence and
the civil war are very popular with Butte
children. The librarian marveled at the
number asking for histories. Many are
inclined to poetry and literature. A girl

The horse show today was a dismal
failure. Colonel H. V. Horton, who
had the entire horse show in charge,

to this city. 1t was stated this after
noon that he had left Waukesha this

and bounded off again.

BROKEN BRIC-A=BRAS

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
and other manufacturers do not use them, be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells US that one of
the elements of his cement costs So. Is a pound,
and another 81 IS gallon while large share
OF the socaled cements ana liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than Decent glue.
dissolved in water OF cltrlc acid, and, In some
cases, altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition OF cheap and useless materials.
Majors Cement retails at Is cents and 25
cents bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr.. Ma
jOfs advertising, which now amounts to over
S. 900 a month, throughout the country. Es-
tablished in 1916.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
off-hand advice from druggist.

Lumbermen's Libraries.

Among the sawmill towns and log

small libraries are circulating under
the care of Rev. Stanley e. Lathrop,
of Ashland. Often this is almost the
only good literature that reaches
these places, where most of the peo-
pie are too poor to buy books. Many
more libraries could be used to add
vantage; also illustrated newspapers
and back numbers of magazines.
