Small Fish.

An Englishman walking through a
certain part of Scotland with rod and
reel came upon tiny loch which he
thought held out promise of good sport.
Patiently he fshed for three hours,
moving steadily from spot to spot along
the borders of the little pond. but no
success came to him.
At last he accosted boy who had
stood for ten minutes watching him
with mingled surprise and curiosity on
his face. My little lad" said the Eng

there are any fish in this pond:'
"If there be ony. they must be vera

Mr.. Cleveland in his Tilden Club
speech ayailed himself OF the oppor-

making him the Democratic nomi-

he believes in openness in politics,
and is opposed to any mystery or
double dealing" In this light there
can be but one construction put on
his closing words:

WHAT A LIBRARY IS
George R. Peck Defines it as an
Epitome Of the World.
A PLEA FOR LITERARY CULTURE
Dreams, Fancies and lmaginations Contri'
butte Much to Happiness-The Great
Chicago Orator.

Galesburg, Ill, dedicated its new
public library not long ago, and Mr..
George J.. Peck, the well-known attor-
ney of Chicago, was the orator Of the
day. His address, like all of his "oc-
c~asional' efforts, was scholarly in
style, happy in illustration, and par
ticularly felicitous from a literary
point of view. Mr.. Peck's close SYM
patty with books and his wide reading
eminently qualified him for a task Of
this kind. His address was a strong
tribute to the intellectual forces, and
an eloquent appeal for literary cui-
ture, as o only productive of mental
growth, but as destructive of what ~
obnoxious to that growth. From his
point of view the library should be
organized. not alone for the dissemina-
ton of useful knowledge, but for the
encouragement of dreams and fancies
and imaginations. He believes there
is more help to average minds in
.sThe Odyssey" Don Quixote," LES
M~iserables,' or "The Newcomes" than
in all the scientific treaties, however
lihPoiNdht lhty may W thSii B"N
While proud of the %conquests of sci
ence in the present epoch, he yet has
the courage ito long for the literature
that used to be" and the faith to be-
lieve that it 'can be brought back by
clinging to It." In these practical days
it is pleasant to read the thoughts of
the scholar and the dreamer, and such
an eloquent plea for literary culture
as that made by Mr.. Peck at Gales
burg. He spoke in part as follows:
"A library is an epitome of the
world. Though it has no speaking
tongue. no lips to proclaim the wis
dom and the beauty enshrined in
its volumes, yet the searcber who-
ever he may be, finds both wisdom
and beauty. and takes them into his
own life, undisturbed by the noise AMI
clamor Of crowds. There is a calm de-

WILL GET THE %ENCAMPMENT
ENCAMPMENT OF NATIONAL GUARD
no BE HELD AT PARKERsBURG.
Governor white Decided the Matter I'm
Favor of HIS Home city while Pass
Ing Through EN- Route 10 sit.


The annual encampmenr of the
West Virginia National Quad will be
held in Parkersburg beginning Aug
ust 5.
That fact was settled by Governor
A. b. White while in P~arkerbsurg a
while between rain and was an
rounced by Adjutant General s. b.
Baker who was in conference with
Governor White at The jackson soon
after his arrival in that city.
The date of the encampment had
been decided previously but no one
but the Governor knew where it
would be held ana he did not decide
that question so tar as the public is
concerned till yesterday evening.
Huntington ana Charleston were both
bidders for the encampment as it is
reasoned that it is a good thing for
any city that gets it. ParkersburR
got it.
Governor White wGs accompanied
bv Hon. VIM. M. o. Dawson Secre-
tary of State Hon. Arnold @. Scherr
Auditor of the State and Hon. Peter
Silman Treasurer of the State. These
gentlemen are members of the Board
way to Mountain Lake Park to re-
main for two weeks. AT that cool
and delightful | mountain resort they
will wrestle with the complex oues-
ton of railroad valuations which is
one of the most RESPONSIBLE duties
these State officials have TO discharge.
Adiutant General Baker met the
Governor upon his arrival III Parkers-
burg and had a conference with him
at the hotel concerning the location
of the National Guard encamp ment.
The Adlutant General impressed on
the Governor the urgent necessity of
at once reaching a decision as TO that
point. He said that a committee of
gentlemen Of Parkersburg had raised
$500. had securad free lights from
the Infer- Urban Gompanv. as we'll as
IA handsome cash contribution from
that COMPANY. and had also secured
the Stephenson common on Seventh
street. which. as the Governor was
doubtless we'll aware, was a most suit
able and desirable place for having
the camp. The subject was discussed
pro and cor by the Governor and the
Adjutant General, with the result
that the Governor decided the matter
in favor of his home city and hence
the encampment will be held in Park
ersburg next month.
