RENTING COLLECTION
New System TO be Installed in
Public Library to Supply
Demand for Popular
Fiction.

The Directors Of the Public Library
at their last meeting decided to adont
the system of a renting collection IN
order to supply the demand for popu-
! lar fiction.
The following is an explanation o.
the system. A number Of copies Of the
most popular novels will be bought
and loaned out at five cents week.
The books can be renewed or trans
ferred to other cards for any length of
time upon the payment of five cents
a week. Books kept over time and
not renewed are subject to the same
line as in force in the main library.
one cent day. The rent for books
must be paid when the book is drawn.
NO book will be put into the RentinU
Collection that is not on the shelves Of
the main library. The collection gives
the people who wish a certain book
at once an opportunity to secure it and
to get fresh copy for a very small
sum. Many prefer not to wait and
take chances on the only library copy
that cannot be reserved but after it's
return must he loaned to the first an
picant The library will be accomo-
dating those who are willing to nav a
small sum FOR the special privilege
and it will lessen the pressure on the
library copy so that the regular bor-
rowers who do not wish to paw this
have a greater chance to secure the
coveted volume
The renting collection is in use in
all well organized libraries and it is
hoped that its installation into our Pub
lie Library will be a great accomoda-
ton aud satisfaction to the many pat
rons OF the library.

Too uncalled- for bold and forward.

That to me he Is the faireSt
OF his sex and that without him
Life to me would be as arid

And in dovelike tones emplore him
To permit me Ito be his'n,
Would he cruelty repulse me?
Cry 'hiss-cat! and cast me from him?

WINTER POSES IN NEBRASKA.
Muse Working Overtime While Old b.
reas Blows.

Although possessing unusual advan-
tages in the climate. soil. vegetation and
distant horizon which conduce to the
growth of native pOeSy Nebraska has
heretofore been rather neglcCtful of the
muse.
1t is only when the heart of the Ne
nraskan is troubled by some great emo
ton. or when he is compelled to remain
indoors ut a time of year when he ought
tn he doing his early spring blowing. that
sentiment gets the better of his practical
nature, and poesy issues from his state in
Quantities to be noticed and in quality to
arrest attention.
One of the striking characteristics of
the Nebraska poem is its realism. for 1t
should be put down to credit of the Ne
hraSka poet that on those occasions when
he consents to become Il medium for the
muse he loves to paint nature as she is
and as he knows her.
This is all the more pleasing in view of
the fact that when nature sets out to be
noticed in Nebraska she seldom fails. For
example, take the case of the poet who
contribute poem on the winter of 1901
to the Ayr News. Note the holiness with
which he plunges into his theme:
This winter will be noted
AS the winter of the snow.
For it beats the old folks yarns;
1t beats their long ago.
And the frost is something awful
The like has ne err been seen;
It's pretty cold at zero.
When it blows Il hurricane.
The capitiOus may find fault with his
rhyme. but those who have even passing
acquaintance with Nebraska in February
know that he adhcrcs to the truth, and
truth is the soul of poetry. Again:
The trains are few and far between.
Some are frozen to the rail;
The fire won't burn and then no steam,
1t makes the poor men Quell.
1t rains when it is freezing
And when it thawS there's snow,
The banks stand high above us,
AS high as we can throw.
One can almost sec the drifts rising
ahead. and sympathize with the vain eff
forts of the Union Pacific plow to pene-
trate them. From our viewpoint the
scene is desolate and the situation is dis
couraginE. and yet the Nebraska poet
looks beyond the mere present:
But then you know it's this way:
The cold has got to come;
Better, far. to have it now
Than when the flowers do bloom.
Well have lovely spring.
You can have my word for that:
And the sun will shine in summer
Till you'll say it's far too hot.
This may not be fair example of high
CT class western verse. Iowa. Kansas.
Colorado and Wyoming have done better
But the poets of those states are fanciful.
whereas the Nebra ska poet aims only to
present to our mind the picture as he
sees it. without regard for the effemina-
cies of the schools.
