A great Zeal of interest is taken in
the school libraries which were au-
thorized under an act of the Legislature.
The state gives $40 to such an object
where the people raise $40. Some eight
cen school districts have raised the
money for libraries in the past two
weeks. 1t is expected that at least
200 small Libraries will be established
by this act.

The San Francisco Examiner says
that the weapons with which to fight
the excessive use OF alcohol are educa-
ton, physical comfort, freedom from
the worry OF daily bread, mental ex-
element, and, above ALL a feeling of
self-respect and ambition. There is
no doubt that prohibition thus far has
proved fiat failure. We do not
believe that coaxing will succeed
where iorbidding has failed. But I'M

1t is not generally known among
men that close shave is apt to
bring on a cold. BARRIERS, however,
are acquainted with this fact and it is
rather on account of it than through
any desire to bring their patrons back
soon again that they do no, unless
ordered to administer close shavcs.
"a close shave" learned barber
said to a Philadelphia Record report
er, removes not only the hair, but u
portion OF the skin rs well. 1t re-
moves, in fact, thin layer of skin all
over the line OF the beard. No blood
is visible to the naked eye, but under
the microscope Il close shaver face re-
veals q thousand widely opened pores,
each exuding tiny drop of blood
You know how the sudden removal OF
heavy clothing tends to bring Oh cold.
How much more, then does close
shave, which is nothing more no less
than removal OF part OF the skin
clothing, tend, with the exposure that
1t creates OF pores and nerve tips, to
include cold, sore throat and even
pneumonia"

Some how we cling to those who
are kind to us. 1t costs so little to be
kind. 1t is an old art, but how neg
lected. In the hurry and hustle of
life we don't seem to have time to be
kind any more. We slight cur fellows
and hurry on our way, never thinking
OF how the unkinduess hurts, and how
wounded is the heart OF our friend.
We should make kindness ohr life
work and be kind to all,-break down
the barriers OF formality and open our
hearts and minds to the good that we
can do, and not wait for the other fell
low to do all the kindness and forgive
ness.
What the world needs is not more
sincerity, but more kindness. To be
kind-just that old art of being kind
that old divine emotion OF pity, and
give a friendly hand to all.
All there is of life is to do our work
as well as we can and be kind. The
true source of happiness is in making
Others happy. We rush after wealth
but after all we can take none of it
out OF this world into the life to come.
As long as the human heart beats it
can love and be loved. Be kind and
gentle and considerable. 1t is all there
is Of life. Doyour work as we'll as you
can and be kind.

THE CAPTURE OF AdUiNALDo.

NOW tnat ASulnaluO Is captured
and safely landed in prison it will be
found that he was not so important
parsonage after ALL He has been in
hiding for many months and was
absolutely powerless. When mill
tary leader is without soldiers and is
forced to flee from pillar to post he is
no longer u dangerous enemy. OF
course it was brilliant achievement
and source of qualification for our
army, even at this late date, to gather
in the notorious rebel, and the outlook
for a speedy restoration OF peaceful
pursuits in the Philippines is better
with Aguinaldo off the scene, but he
has been quite harmless for some
time.
The Philippine islands have already
entered upon new era in their
history. The military government is
being steadily displaced by civil gov
eminent. A large proportion OF the
natives have declared their allegiance
to the United States government.
Many OF them have enlisted in the
army and many Others will be assign
ed to police duty and civil positions.
General Funston was enabled to
capture Aguinaldo by reason OF the
fact that the natives are tired OF the
rebellion and were willing to deliver
the leader Of the little remnant of out
laws into the hands Of our army. The
natives are beginning to understand
the policy Uf the United States and
that it means to deal fairly with
them. They realize now that they
are to have a hand in the manage
ment OF their own affairs, subject, OF
course, to the jurisdiction of the gem
eral government.
Most OF the civil governments so
far established are OF an experimental
order. When the people learn the
value of civil government more perfect
systems will doubtless be sustained.
But the civil organization in each
community and municipality has
been passed on the elective plan and
the rdle OF the majority. The method
has been crude, but it is the only one
which the natives are capable OF un-
derstanding. Later on, when the
natives learn the value and uses of the
ballot, it will be undoubtedly intro
duced as Il substitute for this primitive
from the town election. Hitherto
these people have known only the
tyranny of the military rule which
Spain maintained and which We were
forced to continue until peace prevail
ed. Now the natives are comprehend
ing that the exercise of the functions
OF free people rests with themselves
and as an acknowledgment of it they
are abandoning the warpath, laying
down their arms, swearing allegiance
to the United States and taking the
first steps toward the self-government
which they have SO long converted.
