NORTH BND ENTERrAINN

NORTH END ENTERTAINMENT
An added feature to the entertain
ment at the North End Athletic club
tonight will be wrestling match be-
tween Frank Davey, the well known
local veteran wrestler, and Thomas
Llewellyn, the 115 pound grapevine of
the Planet Athletic club. Lewelyn
has at this time challenge to meet
any man at his weight in the state and
Davey's prowess on the mat Is also
well known. There WHY be no decision
in the match, and the work will be
purely an exhibition. Davey, of
course, weighs good deal more than
his opponent, but both are clever
enough so that they will make good
show.
Davey's trip to England has been
postponed for two weeks, for business
reasons. He will then sail and will
visit old friends and old scenes until af-
ter Christmas and New Years. He will
be again located in this vicinity, after
his trip. Davey Is an insurance work
er when off the mat.
The entertainment tonight promises
to prove great success. 1t Is safe to
say that there will be no vacant seats
In the club room in the Walsh block.
The list Of events shows good 'ones and
excellent sport may be expected. There
Is naturally considerable dlsappolnt-

MADDENING LONELINESS

The most intolerable part of a long
Imprisonment Is the loneliness. IL Is
more maddening even than the loss of
liberty and of ones friends. Those
who have been unfortunate enough to
experience 1t have felt so keenly the
need of companionship that no living
creature appeared too mean to become
an object of interest. care and af-
fection.
DE Pellison, the poet, while impris-
oned in the bastile, one morning dis
covered a web that had been spun
touching this web a spider made n
furious rush at him; and from this
moment the hours dragged less wearily
for De Pellison.
He began by tormenting the little
weaver, and ended by catching flies
for 1t and courting it's friendship. He
at last succeeded in training the
spider to rest on his hand or knee.
With each new accomplishment, the
poets attachment to his strange pet
too, was great. And this pride
brought misfortune.
One day the governor of the bastile
entered the cell and asked the poet
how he spent his time. De Pellison
answered that he managed to find
amusement, and as a proof coaxed the
spider from its web to his hand. But
before he could put his pet through
it's tricks the governor brushed IL to
the floor and set his foot on 1t.
De Pellison cried out, and in his
;~H he

broken my arm"

ucation of another spider.

those who had done nothing more than
show a consistent purpose to help their
fellow-countrymen and TO exhibit filial
gratitude. Degrees which mean that the
recipient has earned them by an un-
usual exhibition of sense. heroism and
devotion, do not exist. Miss Gould has
not written a book. or shown that she
possessed remarkable literary knowi-
edge. but nevertheless an Institution Of
learning makes her Master Of Letters.
We need a degree symbolizing that the
recipient has performed some great
deed or series OF deeds. This Is a CEN
tury of activity. The men whose ideas
furnish the energy of activity are the
idols of the period. The day of dream
ers Is done.

a man or boy, has not the smart effect
that it assumes when worn by some
members Of the opposite sex, 1t is
Questionable to what extent appear
ahces should be sacrificed to comfort.
During the summer time this climate
mate wear cotton and linen exclu-
sively. The men of this country have
worn woolen coats because they have
not dared to leave them off. The
Omaha boys have set other school boys,
and boys of a larger growth, a good
example Of courage and sense. Prin-
cipal Waterhouse finally admitted that
the boys were properly dressed and al
lowed them to return to school in COM
Portable and clean shirt waists.
Representative Powers of Massachu-.
setts, president of the Tantalus club,
is polling the members of that organ
ization on the question of wearing shirt
waists in congress during the heated
term. He has made many converts.
The club was organized for reform and
the members are said to believe that
the appearance Of the shirt waist in
the halls of congress and its firm es-
tab!ishment there would make the rest
of the men ashamed to wear a frock
coat out Of season.
Women are said to supply the con-
servative impulse to the race. But in
the matter Of clothes woman is more
radical than man. Since the time of
small clothes no radical change has
been made in mans costume. His neck
gear has changed from stock to
-starched collar, and he no longer wears
long curled wigs, with the exception of
English judges and few other island
dignitaries. A woolen coat in a North
American summer is an anachronism,
and 1t is as much out of place as it is
out of time. Man is a slave of cOnven-
tion and afraid of ridicule or of max
ing himself conspicuous and of being
called a Willie boy. Therefore the
summers, when, if he dressed accord
)Hngly, he might be comparatively COM
Portable, are periods of torture to him.

The City Library

When the library was burned 1t con-
tanned 1900 books.s The new city Ii
brary contains 1900 books. This
number is insufficient to supply the
common needs of the patrons of the
library. The new city charter sets
apart $500 per annum for the use of
the library. All the expenses of heat
ing, lighting, wages, repair Of books
and the cost of new ones must be paid
from this sum. 1t is inadequate.
To supply the deficiencies in many
departments, specialists were asked to
furnish the librarian with lists of
books. They did SO and a revised and
carefully scrutinized list was sent to
several publishers who in response
sent althogether about $500 books, a
number which represents the fewest
the library needs at present in order to
enable it to answer the demands daily
made upon it. There is no fund avail
able for the purchase of these books
Many citizens have contributed to the
fund being raised for this purpose,
and it is hoped that many more
will contribute. A little from a
great many is better than large
sums from a few.
The books sent to the library cost
about $500. The board has appro-
priated a small fund and the institu-
ton has received some donations, but
there is still lacking about $500. All
sums are received by the librarian and
everybody is urged to contribute.
This is perhaps the last canvass that
will be made for the benefit of the Ii
brary. 1t is hoped to raise the sum
necessary for its maintenance by tax
alton. The institution and every book
and piece of furniture in it belong to
the people. They can support it and
they will think more of it and make
use Of it more assiduously because they
support it.
At present, before there has been
time enough to change the appropria-
ton for its adequate maintenance by a
tax leveled upon the whole people and
khrdensome to no one, there Is danger
that the library may not answer the
needs Of the people unless private gen.
erosity supplements the regular in
come.
