Hanna Pleads With Morgan.

Help me, Cassius, or l sink, shouted the imperial Caesar once upon time.
 And this is the cry of Mark Hanna now. He appeals to J Piermont Morgan to save him.
 He is down on his marrow bones before the grand mogul oi monopoly, pleading with him to stop the great coal strike.
 Morgan holds the situation i'll the palm of his hands.
 He has been granted more than imperial powers by the Republican trust party and now he is exercis- ing those powers iii careless disre- gard of Republican success. Mark Hanna tells Morgan that the Re publicans have all the money they want. They do not ask him for a cent. But they plead with him to stop the strike.
 Mir. Morgan listens and smiles. He has used the Republican party to get what he wanted. Having got what he wanted he has no fur ther interest in that party. His business is now to break up the la Dor unions. And he will not call off the strike even to relieve the pain of Mir. Hanna.

OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY.

At the beginning of the summer school in District 72 the teacher, MT. T. F. Forrest suggested that an effort be made to get up li- brary for our school. A commit tee was selected and they raised a subscl iption, and solicited dena- tions from friends, especially from teachers who had in the past taught in this district. By this work they secured a nice collection of Io6 volumes, of which the dis trict feels very proud. Now the committee asks that all teachers or other persons who feel friendly to this little move to please donate any suitable book they can spare even if it is shelf-worn--and thereby aid a worthy cause. Any thing you can give in this way will be appreciated. Respectfully,
