In the small towns Of the state the
travelling library scheme Is attracting
much attention. Nearly everywhere
there are efforts to comply with the
provisions Of the law and obtain an
assortment Of books for reading and
study. Miss Edna ID. Bullock, secre-
tary of the public library commission.
has arranged eighteen libraries and
these are scurrying to and fro nearly
all the time More books will be as
sorted and prepared for the public as
soon a. they can be catalogued.
PerusaI Of the new production Of nc
ton writer's is not encouraged. 1t is
the object of the commission to help
the readers to standard works and the
masterpieces. leaving the more recent
books to be supplied by private means.
The secretary of the commission seems
to regard the latter day fiction as short
lived and adheres to the reliable stand
bys OF the past few years.
New books are eagerly demanded in
Custer county. From the requests from
that section ii seems that the people
want to read the very latest work of
modern writer's.
A suggestive list of books for small

SOMETHING TO FORGIVE.

You say: such ardent friendship is mis-
taken; If YOU knew"
There! Close your lips and listen: When
the sky Is clear and blue
When sun and birds and dewdrops make
the big world glad and bright,
Would all be half so precious had there
been no clouds or night?
from heaven above
Does not their earthly origin add SYM
pathy to love?
So friendships must be human IL on earth
they'd thrive and live
For what does friendship feed on when
there's nothing to forgive?
How could my hoart be gentle to'ard a
heart that knew no pain?
Could friendship go on living If its prof
ferod help We're vain?
Could !, were not certain you We're only
human, feel
The tender, sweet compassion that my
words to you reveal?
o say not, "lf you only knew" the
Father knows / know:
He left His blessed impress on each hui
man soul; and SO
My loved one must be human while upon
this earth l live
For earthly love grows stronger when
there's something to forgive.

Miss Caroline Silkman, of North
Main avenue, on Tuesday received a
letter from Sir Francis Knolly's private
secretary to King Edward of England,
Monday, in which his majesty returns
thanks to Miss Silkman for valuable
information concerning the coronation
Of his mother, Queen Victoria.
Miss Silkman Is the owner of a copy
of the New York Spectator, which pub
lished the first account in this country
of the coronation of Queen Victoria.
This paper, which was printed in 1888
and has now gone out of existence, con-
tained very interesting and lengthy
article on the coronation of the young
queen. Mr.. Silkman. father of Miss
Silkman. preserved the paper and upon
his death some twenty-five years ago
1t became the property of his daughter,
Miss Caroline Silkman.
Several weeks ago the New York
Times learned of the existence of this
paper and the editor requested Miss
Silkman to give him copy of the arti-
Gle, which she did. 1t was printed on
May II and was about three columns in
length.
Soon after the publication of this ar
ticle Miss Silkman wrote to Sir F.
Knollys, rendering him the original
copy of the paper, which is probably
the only one in existence. Miss Silk
mans letter was brought to the atten-
tion of King Edward, and he command
ed his secretary, Sir F. Knollys, to re-
turn his personal thanks for her kind
and generous Offer The letter follows:
Buckingham Palace, 2sth May. 1902.
Dear Madam: I have had the honor of
submitting your letter to the king.
His majesty thanks you for your kind
offer, but commands me to say that he
will not deprive you of such an interest
ing document Yours truly.
Sir +. Knollys.
Miss Slkman.
Miss Silkman intends to give the pa
per to some historical society.
