LIBRARY MAKING.
A Few Thoughts on the Subject, as
Compiled by c. J. Finger.

a Few thoughts on the SUBJECT, rs
Compiled by c. J. Finger.
A correspondent sends me the
following clipping from the Hous-
ton Daily Post, in an envelope
postmarked Dublin:
BOOKS WE SHOULD READ.
In the present age of cheap
literature the tendency is to read
scrappy bits rather than works of
merit.
There are books, good, bad and
indifferent. Read rightly and you
will readily discover the true
books. We may have the will and
the sense to choose our friends
well, but the choice is practically
limited to our sphere, restricting
most of us to narrow circle.
Meanwhile, there is a society con-
tinually open to us who can talk to
us in the best words if we will
only listen to them, whatever our
rank and occupation. This is to
be found in the society of good
books. '....
1t is we'll for the sake of relaxa-
ton that we should take up bright
accounts of travel, discussions of
questions if they be good humored
or witty; or even the pathetic
novel, but these after all are frag-
mentary aud should in no way
take the place of those works
written for all time"
/ have written upon this sub
ject before, and expressed my
sincere belief that our schools do
not form the reading habit in
pupils. Since then l have inter-
ested myself sufficiently in ,the
matter to loan out many of my
own books to willing readers, to
make two separate lists of 200
works suitable for children's use
in Sunday school Libraries, and
to consider n plan for forming a
library in San Angelo. This lat
ter / will disclose in a future COM
munication. A we'll assorted
library is an absolute necessity
and the Sunday school collect
ion is far from satisfactory. Many
of the books therein are of very
poor character, and very often
the only difference between them
and the common or garden novel,
is that in the former the heroine
marries n Sunday school superin-
tendent. and in the latter a man
about town.
*s*
In the matter of reading, par
ents are strangely remiss. To fill
the shelves of a bookcase with sets
of Dickens, Amelia E. Barr, Lyt-
ton, Shakespeare and Cooper, with
n side line of Josephus, Bancroft
and Ingraham and in the dark
corners the Perfect Pearls of Prose
and Poem, Schley and Santiago,
etc. ETC., is not to form a library,
nor is such action calculated to
foster the reading habit in child
rem. The widely read man with
well chosen library is not only
the happy man, he is the reading
guide for others. Widely read,
observe, not groove reading. "A
wise education" says Harrison,
land SO iudiclous reading, should
leave no great type of thought, no
dominant phase of human nature,
wholly u blank. Whether our
reading be great or small, as far
as it goes, it should be general"
But in wide reading "be sure to
read no mean book. Shun the
spawn of the press or the gossip
of the hour. Do not read what
you shall learn without asking
i'll the street ard in the train"
(R. w. Emerson.) Wide reading,
therefore, and not desultory read
ing, which, according to J. R

Many lists of the best books

often been those conventionality

NEW YORK. Oct 1s.-J. P. Morgan
declined to-day to talk about his meeting
with Secretary Root last Saturday. He
would not discuss the coal strike in any
way. except to say that he had heard
OF no change In genera! conditions.
There is good authority for the states
menr that Secretary Root did not bring
an ultinatum from President Roosevelt
as reported. BIZ: rather the Secretary
was directed by tho President to ask Mr.
Morgan to devise some means TO settle
the strike Mr.. Morgan, it Is said, took
the Presidents request under advise
,nent and later reported to Secretary
Roo. his inability to do anything IN the
matter.
Ii is known that Friday last one OF
tho leading operators wrote to the Penn
sylyania authorities demanding that the
Pennsylvania miners be furnished with
better protection. There came O prompt
reply stating thaA the entire Pennsyl-
yaula, militia had been called out and the
situation was well in hand. Apparently.
the operators are not OF tlat opinion, as
1t is known that another letter has been
forwarded to Governor Stone. urging
that he call upon President Roosevelt
for Federal troops.
The report that Mr.. Morgan had as:
sured Secretary Root that the miners
should receive 10 per cent increase
upon returning to work was answered
by President Thomas private secretary
as follows:

to the contrary, there is the best author-

to this time taken no active part IN any
settlement negotiations. He believes
that the matter rests with the coal presi-
dents. and is reported to have SAID s
much to President Roosevelt, through
Secretary Root last Saturday.
Rumors that the strike was ended were
heard in financial circles, and In the clos
ing hour, the stock market rallied very
generally from its early depression. These
runors were circulated for the most part
by brokerage houses with Weston connec-
tons. The conservative element paid
little heed. and denials Of a settlement
were authorized by representatives of the

BOTH CLAIM VICTORY
Mitchell Says that Fewer Men Were at
Work Yesterday than Last Week.
(By Associated Press.l

(By Associated Press.l
W.LKESBARRE, PA, October l5.-
What was looked upon as an i1nportaEt
day in the matter Of resumption of work
in the coal mines passed without
any serious trouble, and each side to the
controversy is claiming a victory. Reports
received here from coal companies all
over the region are to the effect that at
least twelve collieries and four washerles
started operations to-dey. President
Mitchell. in q talk with tt77 CORRESPOND
ents, asserted that reports received by
him from hts lieutenants in tho field
showed fewer men were at work to-day
than last week.
Il is evident that extra efforts were
made on both sides to gain an advantage
The soldiers Of the Third Brigade were
sent into the outlying mining towns in
this region long before starting up time
to patrol the roads leading to the col
liecies
In some places the soldiers were scat
tered in twos and threes along the streets
and on street corners. but they were not
compelled to rescue any one from strik-
ers. The company superintendent are
authority for the statement that for the
rast two days the mine workers have
been mailing efforts to arouse cauvasses
all over the entire territory, holding the
men in line. and that If it were not for
this method Of keeping the men from
work there would have been q large in
crease In the number of employees at
work.
In an interview tonight President
Mitchell summed up the general situa-
ton As follows:
II have heard from every point in the
coal region to-day. and my information
is to the effect that fewer men were at
work to-day than there were last week.
There were desertions from the camps
at Scranton, Hazleton, the Panther Creek
and shamol1in. The report that twelve
collleries resumed operations is not true.
