Education and Reading.


We are anxious, conscientiOusly anX.
ious, In these days to know what the
worklngman and his family read. Be-
ing told that three wOrkingmen out Of
four read sporting papers exclusively
and that but one wife in four reads at
all, and then only cheap fiction pa
pers, social theorists conclude that the
problems Of morals and of poverty are
involved right there. With the spread
Of education, we are told, the working
classes will read something better
worth reading. But do men and wom-
en- who have been 'educated' in the
conventional way make better show
the cities Of toilers? Education and
prosperity are believed to go hand in
hand, but if the argument is valid then
the prosperous element should be read
ing something better worth while than
the folks at the other extreme Of So
ciety. The fact is. however. that men
Of business. lawyers. doctors. men in
public life, read about the same things
rs the wOrkingman-that is, the papers
and novels. And the women in the
same circle. as a rule. have mo time
to read" The wOrkman's wife thinks
1t an economic sin to sit down with a
book, and the woman in the mansion
thinks it social sin. In the case of
the latter her company or her club or
her church or charity duties would
have to wait on the latest novel. In
both cases the excuse is that there are
more important things in life than
reading.
Reading has been called 1.-The night
gown Of sloth." To read merely for
the sake Of reading would naturally
breed laziness, and IL recreation, stim-
illus, change Of thought. can be secured
as effectually or even more effectually
IN some other way than by reading
some way broadening to existence, it
might prove profitable where reading
would be the reverse Education makes
people think, but there are opiates set
mp in type that puts thought to sleep
The important thing, then, in reading
is not the shape or size of the printed
sheet, whether newspaper or book, but
what It Is about.

Reno County Mans Claim. - Rura-

claim against the federal government
amounting to $500. At the time of
the war of the rebellion Mr.. Harpole
lived in Putnam county, Tenn, and
was on the route of the Union army
which came along and took from him
horses, mules, harness, hogs, chick
ems and destroyed stables, fencing
and clothing, besides other things.
The government never took, the
trouble to pay the loss, so Mr.. Har-
pole is seeking redress now. A few
days ago Senator Long introduced
bill in the senate allowing Mr.. Har-
pole the $4,000 claimed.

Mountain Invades Town.

Faith or something else is removing
at least one mountain in the Rhymney
valley, Glamorganshire, Wales, which
is slowly advancing towards the VI.
lage OF Troedyrhiew. Although the
garden of the village inn has been
completely swept away, the Inn itself,
which is between the mountain and
the garden, is intact. The explanation
is that it was practically rebuilt soma
time ago on solid bed of rock. Near
the inn Is belt of woodland in which

side of the arch was mast bearing
British and Spanish banners. Beyond
arose monster arch which had been
erected by the people of the neighbor-

out official splendor, but was indica-

water from the springs is continually
coming out and thus causes all sorts
of delays After this it is expected
that the rest of the work will be an
easy matter and it will be only a
short time until the new water is be-
ing used in this city.
As has been told in the NEWS, the
new 25-foot suction well has been
completed, the engine and pump are
now in place, and as soon as the pip
ing is in position all will be ready to
connect up.
When the new eight million gallon
pump is started it is the intention of
the Board of Water Commissioners to
close down the Snow pump, which
has been working for number of
years, and give it thorough over
hauling.
To Meet Mr.. Fountain.
1t is expected that the board will
meet with Asbury Fountain and talk
over the prospects Of buying some
land he wants to sell. At the present
time the board owns considerable of
the land at Runyon, but Mr.. Foun-
tain owns desirable site along the
pond as we'll as some land on the
far side of the pond. The board
would like to possess this and if suit
able terms can be- arranged they may
buy.
Engineer Samuel Mason will most
likely have plan ready at the next
meeting for the erection of a new
chimney at the plant at Runyon. The
chief engineer asked to have new
chimney built and the board ordered
Mr.. Mason to have plans made.

INJURED MAN APPEARS.
Fellow Who Could Not be Found
Yesterday at Headquarters.

Anton Kovalchik, of Penn street,
who was badly cut in the face in a
fracas near Alpine cemetery a few
nights ago, appeared at police head
quarters this morning. His alleged
assailant, Anton Kroki, of Forest
dale Heights, was paroled yesterday,
as told in the NEWS, after two days
in the lookup, because the police had
not been able to locate Kovalchik.
The latter said this morning that he
started for police headquarters two
days ago, but grew faint and lay
down In a field on the outskirts,
where he had long sleep, after
which he was located by friends, at
whose home he lay for the remainder
of the time until this morning. Kro-
ki may be re-summoned.
