Should one have a vision of a public
library with dishes of dislnfectants at
the door, and the sign, Germs checked
here" he would be sure that it was a
dream. Yet when the number of I'M
clean hands of those who use the books
and papers is taken into the account,
the sanitary vision might almost be
considered prophetic. THE danger to the
health of the community caused by
offensive visitors to Libraries is real, If
not measurable. A free library should
Sat be open to persons whose lack Of

AS startling a case of duplicity as has
ever been exposed is reported from
New York. Joseph Goldman good hus-
band, fond father reputable business
man, was also leader of a band Of
thieves and receiver of stolen goods.
For many years he had led these two
ives without detection. Suddenly two
of his accomplices, under fear of pun
ishment, turned upon him, and, in or
der to tighten their own sentences,
gave evidence that left no doubt of his
guilt. He was proved to be implicated
in a dozen clever robberies which were
carried out under his direction. In
fact, he seems to have devised the vii
lainies which his confederates eXecut-
ed. He was contriver and manager.
The others simply carried out his in
structiOns. 1t was not that he was
exposed to sudden temptation and
yielded. His guilt was darker than
that. For years he had conducted a
systematic robbing business. He had
a large loft in Water street where he
stored stolen articles, and from that
fence" he distributed his plumber
through the city. 1t was necessary,
therefore. that he should live a contin
ual lie, and that he should have been
able to do so for so long a time shows
either a remarkable steadiness of will
or else a total want of those moral
principles which, when they are violat-
cd lead To uneasinpSs and remOrSe He
was tried, found guilty, and sent to the
penitentiary. His lawyer pleaded for
leniency on the ground that his life as
a business man had been irreprOach-
able. The judge rejected the plea con-
temptuously. He refused to admit that
the man who is a burglar by night
should be given a lighter sentence be-
cause he is a hypocrite during the day.
He thought such a man deserved a
heavier sentence than one who did not
lead a dual life.

A good pun is rather uncommon, but
a joke that may be so described was
made recently by Andrew Carnegie, to
whom some advocates of an Anglo
American alliance had appealed for an
emblematic flower Mr.. Carnegie
promptly suggested the dandelion, urg-
ing that the American dandy" in the
shrewd, Yankee, business sense Of the
term, Joined with the British "lion,"
would result in a blossom which must
rule the world. He was evidently not
thinking of Yankee Doodle Dandy,
whose sentiments in the olden time
were not in agreement with those Of
John Bull.

Something handsome in the nature Of
public testimonial, to which all the
sensible people of the country would
be privileged to contribute, should be
conferred upon the members of the
grand jury of Washington County,
Maryland. That body has endeared it
self to most men and women by return
ing an indictment for manslaughter
against a boat rocker. Other grand ju-
ries in other parts of the land, by the
dozen, by the score, and by the hun
dred, have had chances to distinguish
themselves in this particular, but it re-
manned for the grand jury of Washing
ton County, Maryland, to demonstrate
that the influence of a boat rockers
friends was not sufficient to stay the
hands Of outraged Justice The cir
cumstances in the case are not pecu-
liar. The circumstances in a case Of
boat rocking never are. Last summer
a party of young people were rowing
for pleasure on Lake ReyOr, in the
State named. In the party was the in
evitable smart young man, whose pres
ence has blighted many a summary out
ing that would have been made joyous
by his absence. This smart young man
found that he could amuse himself
greatly by rocking the boat, and he
rocked it violently. The girls screamed,
and this intensified the smart young
mans enjoyment. He rocked the boat
all the more violently, and it finally
tipped ovr. Five of the occupants We're
thrown into the water, and one Of the
young ladies was drowned. Nobody
will be surprised to learn that when the
boat capsized the boat rocker swan
valiantly for the shore and left his COM
panions to their fate.

Those who fully understand the vir-
tues of laughter will not dispute the
wisdom of the remarks made by Prof
William N. Guthrie In lecture at the
University of Chicago, when he de-
clared that laughter and comedy may
be made TO play an important part as
curative and remedial agents, even to
the point of protecting humanity from
the liquor habit Drunkenness, of
course, Is due in part to discourage
ment or desperation. But for the con
siderable number that drink because
they feel detected and seek a quick and
easy way of throwing of their depres-
sion. there is a much larger number
who drink either because they have
nothing else to do, or because they
crave some excitement to relieve the
monotony OF their lives. Drinking is
a great time-consuming habit, and the
man who would shake 1t of usually
finds that the reform leaves him with
an undue amount of leisure. One chief
trouble with the effort to suppress the
evil, perhaps, is that while the drinker
and his friends make brave efforts to
stop the bad habit they do little or
nothing toward putting a new and
wholesome habit in it's place. It is in
this stage that his bored feeling and
his depression recur with greatest ef-
feet. Prof. Guthrie's address contains
a hint for despOndent persons. Let
him surround himself with the inhu-
ences which attend comedy and laugh
ter, Let him seek CHEEKY companion
ship or attend amusing entertain
ments. The chances are that he Will
find the time slipping by so pleasantly
that he has forgotten his depression
and much of his craving for artificial
excitement.
Good fun and good coOkery-the one
to occupy the depressed mans mind,
and the other to steady his nerves
might do a good deal toward suppress
ing the liquor evil.-Chicago Daily
News, July II, 1902.

Was Buried at Rural Cemetery Sat.
urday Afternoon.
The funeral of James Stratton Bait
was held from his late home at Lib.
erty Saturday, and the remains were
buried at the Rural cemetery.
This talented young man died after
a short and severe sickness on Thurs
day, September 18th. Young Bait was
something over 1S year of age, passing
his childhood in the Liberty neighbor-
hood. He was one of the most noble
characters to be found in any commu-
nifty. What he studied at school he
soon mastered. In everything he un-
dertook he pursued it with honest and
eager purpose, and was recognized as
a leader among his school mates. He
was converted year ago in the revival
meeting at the Leslie M. e. church,
south Salem. led by Rev. Blackburn.
He had especial talent for music.
Five years ago he commenced the
study Of vocal music, making such rap.
i'd and easy progress, II was suggested
that he make music a study. In this
he showed superior talent. In the past
two years he has contributed TO many
socials and entertainments Gin Salem
and elsewhere) to the pleasure Of the
audiences, many wondering at his mas
terful way of getting tone from the pi.
ano, and the beautiful expression of
his playing, Dr. Parvin says his study
of harmony and composition was the
best Of any student he ever had. While
the average student receives many cor.
rections. Mr.. Bait never made a mis-.
take in writing his harmony exercises
and only in one instance was there
ever a serious error found in his ad.
vanced work in composition.
Many of his friends predicted for
him, should he live. a brilliant success
as a pianist, that he would be known
everywhere in the musical world He
had already committed several of
Beethoven's sonatas and other pieces
OF the greatest masters. In his per-
formanceof DeKonslSi's Revillede Lion
he carried his audience "off their feet" "
as ii were. He will be greatly missed
by his school mates in the N. w. N. col.
lege But all we can say, although
there seemed TO be such brilliant fu-
ture for this good young man, mot our
will. but Thy will be done"
