IlsIcal record Of our public IL
braries during the past year is but an ex-
tension and amplihcation, stamped
throughout with the warchword progress
There are now over $500 libraries having
1000 volumes or over, as against 1000 in
1895 and but 1000 in 1876. In all they con-
tain more than one book for every two in
habitants of the country, and many times
that proportion for those who actually
use them There were L, 100000 books for
100000 people in 1876. They now issue
100000 volumes. as compared to perhaps
100000 in 1876.
This progress in numbers and resources
is largely due to the gifts of Mr.. Carnegie.
according to an article of Herbert Put
nam, Librarian Of Congress, in the current
number of the Independent. His gifts. be-
ginning in 1882. have aggregated to date in
money value nearly $25.OOO,O0
All other bounties from this source have
been obscured by the magnitude of his
bountfes- Yet these have, in the aggre-
gate, almost equaled his. During the
year past a total of gifts has reached
s12.OO0.OOO exclusive of buildings, about S.
100000 of which was from Mr.. Carnegie.
The greater part of the total represents
an increase in plant and equipment
But this has involved definite increase,
by appropriation or otherwise, of funds
for maintenance.
General advance has been so rapid in
most sections that the raising of this
maintenance fund has required but little
active exertion.
The library movement has ample mo-
rpentum; it requires little impetus. But
it will require direction. The Librarians
are now looking to direction rather than
impetus. During a recent conference, at

Death n Natural Phenomena.

II firmly believe that life beyond
the grave is fact in nature. to
which we are all co-heirs; that
death is as natural as birth; and that
man does not really begin to live, in
the truest sense of the word, until
he has passed the change called
death. i believe that when man dies
he carries with him into the world
of the spirit all his loves and hates.
all his individuality; and that when
one falls into the last sleep in this
world he awakes in the next the
same individual. no more, no less;
his mind filled with the same ideals.
and the same love in his heart. i
would rather sleep in eternal moth
ingness with my last thoughts of my
loved ones than to live in selfish bliss
unconscious of the great heart
warnings reaching out to me across
the dark gulf. Where we leave off
in this life, we begin in the next, and
our departed brothers, bound to us
here by the vows of our fraternity,
Rock Island Argus., 1902-06-16
DUTY of Fraternity.

IF the obligations of our order
sink at all into our hearts the duty
that fraternity teaches us * most
plain. and here, by these mounds of
green. we can learn anew the service
that we owe to each other. Words
of cheer and counsel, and acts of be-
nevolence lift many n burden and
brighten many n sky; and by placing
upon the altar of some brothers life
a wreath of sympathy and help. we
may make Of every day a memorial
day.
Each of these men grasped his AK.
and strobe into the great forest of
life's activities to hew his way on
and on to the clearing into which all
earthly paths must some day open.
Tired arms and minds. and faithful
hearts have found rest ut last; the
aX handle is broken, and the wedge
lies rotting i'm the log; but other
workers in life's forest are fast
pushing along the paths they trod.
each eager to conclude his task. and
not mindful of the fact that when
the task is completed. the clearing
Will have been reached.
That these brothers of ours live
again after the change called death,
think none of us doubt. This GER
emony would be a very cheerless and
heart-breaking one indeed, If we
thought these graves held all. On
the contrary, while we gather where
their bodies are laid, our eyes are
cast upward, and the flowers that we
place upon their graves are emblem
atic of hope and immortality.

TWO HUNDRED MEMBERS ATTEND

The various Woodmen and Royal

ices in honor of deceased members.
Promptly at in the morning mem
bers to the number of 200 assembled
at Woodmen hall, and accompanied
by Il party of 75 little girls bearing
wreaths for the decoration of the
graves. marched in procession under
the leadership of Capt. 5. II. Davis as
marshal east on Second avenue to

where cars were taken for Chippian-

diction by Rev. {. L. Taylor. The

tinn.
J. X. Scott. who delivered the ad-
dress in behalf of the Woodmen.
said in part:
Here. in the city of the dead
with Gods sunshine all about us and
through the leafy boughs. we gather
to- honor the memory of those of our
brothers who have preceded us into
the great beyond.
This day of memory and Of tears
Il mighty order bends above its hon
ored graves. and pays to the dust of
its arisen sons the tribute Of its love.
They have passed beyond the sound
of earthly voices. and the clasp of
friendly hands. but | feel assured
that, OFF yonder. somewhere in the
great unknown. our every act of love
and sympathy is known and appre-
ciated by those whom we have gath
cred here To honor.
The uppermost thought in the
mind of every man on an occasion
like this is the question of mans inn
mortality. The heart hungers to
know if i'm some brighter and better
world our brothers are living on.
Love whispers, yes, and beyond the
barren cheer of dogmatic faith and
cold science we know that these
graves are only gateways to n hap
pier land. Love engendered in the
hearts of men the first dream of i'm
mortality. II shines upon the cradle
in the morning of life. and sheds its
radiance over the peaceful tomb at
sunset.
1T is most fitting that one day
should be set apart each year. when
we may gather to honor our dead, to
refresh our memory of them. to
strew flowers upon their graves, and
allow the sacred influence of the
hour to bring the hearts of the living
in closer touch with each other.
