Magazines for Wisconsin Free
library Commission.

Of the great losses recently suf-
fered by the Free Library Commits
sion, one which will be greatly felt
by the public libraries Of the state is
the loss of the clearing house for
magazines It , now necessary to
make an unusual effort to collect
magazines because it must build up
from the bottom. The Commission
appeals for aid at this time of its
greatest need. 1t asks its friends
for all kinds Of good magazines, such
as Forum. Century, Harper's At
lantic, Scribner's, North American
Review. McClure's, Cosmopolitan,
Review of Reviews, World S Work
St. Nicholas, Youths Companion,
Ladies' Home Journal, scientific
periodicals and also good books.
Librarians are asked to encourage
local clubs to make a special effort
to collect magazines for the Commits
sion. The Commission will glad Y
pay transportation on all contribu-
tons and asks that donors will
kindly send notice Of shipment and
state plainly on the shipping label
the source of the gift, that due ac-
acknowledgement may be made.
The clearing house vas establish
e9 for the purpose of helping liora
ries to build up reference collections
by supplying volumes. and parts of
volumes to complete sets. Since it
has been in operation it has been
able to serve nearly all Of the libra
ries in the state and has been es-
pecially helpful to the small libraries
not able to afford expensive refer
ence books. For little more than
the expense Of binding, libraries
may acquire invaluable material for
reference work, and even if binding
cannot be afforded the magazines
can still be made convenient for use
by tying them neatly into volumes
anG number as they would be in the
bound book.
Besides the contributions made to
public libraries the Commission has
distributed many thousands of the
more recent magazines at travelling
library stations, in other rural com
munities where it has not eeen pos
sible to send travelling libraries and
in lumber camps. These magazines
are circulated from home to home
until they are worn out, and it has
often been found that the magazines
sent with travelling libraries are
more popular than some of the
books,

HE MISSED THE BEARS.
A Question That Rid President Nc.
kinIey of Beggar.

hinley OF u BegSar.
No one asking assistance was ever
turned away empty handed from the
Mckinley door, and many were those
who applied. One day rather old
man, with every appearance of belong
ing to the species hobo, called and
asked for aid. He was given a small
sum Of money and, evidently thinking
he had struck soft spot, returned
the following day and from then on
went back every few days until final
~, on what proved to be his last visit
the president came out while he was
talking to a member of the household
and, learning the mans errand, enter
ed into conversation with him.
The man stated, in reply to the pres
ident's question, that he was a nat
uralized American citizen, but was
born in Switzerland. The president
asked if he had ever been in Berne, and
he said he had lived there. The presi-
dent then asked if he had ever seen
the bears. This question rather stump
ed the old man, and he stammered
that he could not understand. The
president merely smiled and passed on
Now, as every one who has any
knowledge of Switzerland knows, the
coat of arms Of the city and state Of
Berne is bear and in a pit in the cen
ter of the city number of live bears
have been kept for years out of mem
CRY and are likely to be so kept for
years to come, frequent requests hav-
ing been made for their comfort and
many thousand francs being deposited
in the banks Of Berne for their mainte-
nance. The old man, not knowing
these facts, certainly could not have
been from Berne and was self con-
victed disciple of Ananias, and as he
disappeared from the neighborhood it
is to be supposed that some one must
have shown him the joke.-Leslie's

The assurance with which the republicans claim the
fublood Indian does not impress ofc familiar with
Indian character being in the bounds Of reason COM
political The fact is the fullblood has
for dislike of the republican party and he does
most heartily The Indians hold the republican party
responsible for the treaty Of 1866 which forced upon them
the freedmen their former slaves with whom they have
been compelled TO divide their tribal inheritance The
freedmen getting alotmens and have shared in the
per capita payments Of money that belonged the In
dians The Indians have become reconciled to
what they considered at the time, and still consider an
outrage upon their treaty rights The fullbood along
with the mixed blood therefore hold deepseated preu
dice against the negro and against the political party
that forced them to divide their property with him. The
Indians take the position that they held their lands by
patent from the government and that to force them to
divide it with their former slaves unjust and without
PRECEDENT in the history Of the American government
When the time comes the leaders among all these In
dams can go among their people and remind them Of
this act Of perdy they regard IT, on the part Of the
republican party and they will leave the party enmasse
The democratic leaders among the Cherokees and among
the other tribes too know this and win use it effectively
at the proper time.

RaymOnd's Rules.

Judge Raymond Of the Western district has the merit
Of originality to say the least and occasionally gives out
nugget Of judicial wisdom
In the Western district recently there has been much
dissatisfaction in the of choosing jurors The
statutes provided for jury commissions but this was
not generally observed. The jures have been selected
by the marshal Of the court at his discretion The at
toneys of the district have made such vigorous pro-
test backed up by public sentiment that something had
to be done About this time juries sitting at the
Muskogee term acquitted nearly every person tried be-
fore them and received rebuke from the bench
These iuries also failed to sustain the indictments
found in wholesale numbers by the grand jury in session
at that time and result Of the unusual proceedings
the term was brought to an abrupt end.
Since that time there has been jury commission ap-
pointed to select the ures at each term Of court And
the court has gone still further and now issues nsruc-
tons to the jury commission To the last one the fol-
lowing addressed:
"For jurymen select sober men. A drunken man is
good for no serious service Select fair men, preudced
or unfair man is safe for a public place Select
capable men; narrow-minded, Informed man is not
broad enough pass upon the rights Of the people Sc
lect men Of good character Of no character ought
not be allowed to decide between the government and
the lawbreaker Select honest men; a dishonest man
will not render honest verdict Select men who are
rightminded at home: they are more likely to do right
and be right in their jury services"
