The HappieSf Time Is .No.c

Talk not to me of future blissl
Talk not to me of joys gone byl
For u.s. the hapniest hour Is this,
When love bids time TO fly;
The future-doubt may overcast,
To shadow Hopes young brow:
Oblivion's veil may shroud the past
The happiest time is now!
Tho flowers in spicy vases thrown
Some odor yet eXhale.
Their fragrance, eer the bloom was flown
Breathed sweeter on the gale;
Like faded flowers, each parted bliss
Let memory keep-but how
Can joy that's past be like to this2
The happest time is now.

Ger times eternal tide;
And soon the sparkling pippe dies

Our barks the brightest bubbles fling
For ever from the prow;-

Mrs. Ella J. Bell Secretary.

At the annual meeting of the Ii
brary board held Monday evening
Mrs. Mary L. Finn was elected
president and Mrs. Ella J. Bell
secretary. Miss Louise M. Fernald
rendered her resignation as librar-
ian, and on recommendation Of the
committee on librarian, Miss Beth
Conner, who has been withsthe state
library commission, and also at the
public library in Minneapolis, for
several months past, was elected to
the vacancy.
Miss Fernald submitted her re-
port for July and it showed that
with the exception Of the Fourth
the library was open every day dur
ing the month for reading and
reference 80 days, and for the dis
tributlon of books Is days.
The total number of volumes is
sued was 704, a daily average of %,
of which IL per cent were nom

any one day was 68.
The juvenile report is included in
the above and shows the smallest
number of books issued in that de-
partment, in the history of the Ii
brary.
The readers numbered 402, of
which number FOG were children.
16 new registrations brings the num-
Der of borrowers cards up to 780.

largely current fiction, which seems
to be the popular demand during
the summer at any rate.

Mr.. DORSET SPEAKS.
Prohibition Candidate for Governor
Makes Friends Here.

Mr.. C. w. Dorsett, the prohibition
candidate for governor, spoke to a
good-sized audience of interested
people at the court house last Satur-
day evening, this despite the fact
that drilling rain fell turnout the
day, and made all attempts to get to
the hall very disagreeable.
The meeting was for the purpose
of rallying the supportersl of the
prohibition cause, of which there is
growing number in this section, and
Mr.. Dorset spoke words of encour-
agement to his hearers and appealed
to them to get out and work for the
cause, contending that every vote
gained for the state ticket over that
cast two years ago, as well as any
membership that might be secured
inlthe legislature would be an encour-
agement for future campaigns and
also a warning to both OF the old
parties that something must be done
for the temperance cause that would
regain the confidence of the voter.
He believed that the prohibition
party could safely be entrusted with
the affairs of government, inasmuch
as the leaders were good business
men,: believed in and are strong advo-
Gates of the enforcement of the
laws, and above all, that they would
see to it that there would be rigid
enforcement of the liquor laws that
have been so lightly construed for a
long time past, according to his be-
lief. He was strong in his conten-
ton that the liquor traffic was the
greatest evil in this country to-day.
