if more than ten millions of them could

1t depends on how far away from the
barn the man stands when he throws
the shotgun. A man who cannot hurl
shotgun at least 20 or 30 feet could
hardly be called available for military
duty.

A heavy express wagon had reached
the junction of Gray and Clarke
streets, Portland, the other morning
when a pretty gray cat ran out from
the sidewalk and deliberatelyslaad it's
head under one of the forward WfYeels
OF the wagon. The driver Saw flescat
and wheeled his horse sharply III the
right, swerving the wheel just enough
SO 1t cleared the cat. The moment the
feline found that she was still alive she
ran under the wagon and once more
laid her head on the street so that. un-
seen to the driver or before he could
stop, one of the rear wheels had passed
over her neck. She was crushed badly,
but managed to crawl to the side of the
road where she expired in a few mo-
n1ents. Those who saw the thing say
1t certainly was as deliberate a case Of
animal suicide as any ever committed
by human being.

revolt on the part of the long suffering
public have taken in England the form
of a secret society of book destroyers.
This biblioclastic organization, as de-
scribed in the London letters to the
Sunday papers, is called the Omar
club" 1t does not take it's name from
the mild Persian poet of ancient days,
as the average person would infer and
thus be misled as to it's object, but from
the name of the great Mohammedan
caliph of the seventh century who
brought Jerusalem, Persia, Syria,
Egypt and other lands under the sway
of Islam. 1t was this Omar who burned
the great library of Alexandria where
the gathered wisdom of the ages was
stored, and the work of the Omar club
OF London is to further the work SO eff
fectively begun at the mouth of the
Nile.
Surely there is a place in the world
for such an organization. and several
active branches should at once be es-
tablished in this country The mass of
ephemeral books which obscure litera-
ture can well be spared. Perhaps it
will be going too far for the club to kill
off superfiuous and obnoxious authors
or even to gag or imprison them, but
there are many ways in which it can
discourage them and kill their books
little more discrimination should be
exercised than was used by Omar. the
caliph for the application of his idea
though salutary in itself, was somewhat
too sweeping. The scheme of the club,
under proper restrictions, has most
beneficial possibilities for humanity
There are altogether too many books
of certain kinds-and the publication of
these kinds. particular reference being
had to the erotic neurotic and tommy
rotic types, is annually Increasing.
