THE literary committee of the gen.

to persue investigat tons, make sug-
gestions, if desired, and render such as

committee of which Mrs. Charles S.
Morris of Wisconsin is chairman will
soon be prepared to recommend lists
of books for children and young people
as Il partial guide to clubwomen who
are aided in establishing small libra
rieS, and the committee also hopes to
be able to assist in transferring books
from localities which have an OVer-Sup-
ply to those which are less favored.
The principal effort of the committee
is to be made in behalf of inaugurating
free library commissions, support by
public funds. in states which do not
possess them, and in attempting cor
daily to cooperate with and strengthen
those already in existence A note Of
warning has been sounded against be-
ing too eager to secure the Carnegie
bcnefa ctiOnS for small places unless
sure that the libraries have a fair
chance Of being properly organized.
AS trained librarians are desirable,
even for small libraries, clubWOmen
are urged to assist in making ii posi-

The marriage was the culmina-

Colorado smelter at this point When
Samuel Jones resigned as superin-
tendent of the Salida plant to accept
the management of the Almaloya
at Los Arcos, Mexico, he en-
gagged Mr.. Marston for the same po-
sition he had held at Salida. BY ap-
pointment Miss Opal met her be
trothed in the City of Mexico, where

where except under the stars and
stripes. In accordance with her wish
es, the plans were changed and the
happy couple went to Laredo. Tex,
the nearest point in Uncle Sans do
and the knot was tied under

and when the long hill just this side

the lines on the team in front broke
just as the horses started down the
hill, and of course the other rein be-
came useless and the team started
down the hill at a terrific rate.
The horses attached to the other
wagons becoming imbued with the
excitement also started on a run.
Down the hill the three wagons
raced. and it looked as If the team
and wagon in front would come to
woe.
However, after reaching the bot
tom of the hill and running quite
distance on the level road, the team
quieted down and some of the boys
Jumped out of the wagon and stopped
the horses. 1t was certainly a wild
and somewhat dangerous ride, but as
no one was hurt the crowd enjoyed
IT hugely.

luck at fishing while others looked
on and enjoyed the rich beauties of

taken along. and dinner and supper
