Mary E. Wilkins book, which the
A. l.. A. booklist calls a study in
self sacrifice, containing unusually
strong and delicate d%ilineation of
New England character and next to
impossible situations.
Two new books will be added to-
the rent collection Saturday even-

He That Eateth Bread With Me"
by Mrs. keays, is a protest against
the divorce evil. The hero, a mar Of
sympathetic, passionate tempera-
ment, is divorced from his first wife,
a calm, strongly spiritual woman,
and marries a sensuous Divorce,
whose one aim is to regain a place
in society. The evils suffered by the
first wife and her boy, her shifting
views of the divorce problem, her
brave attempt at forgiveness n her
final idea of possible happiness, make
an interesting psychological study.
The tension is relieved by the viva
cious humor of one of the minor
characters, whose quiet courtship
forms the back ground for the more
ardent romance.
"The Work of Our Hands" will
not contribute much to the solution
of problems economic or marital, but
it is a strong and clever story, the
interest we'll sustained, despite a lit
tie too much "preaching."

ton met for their usual business
meeting. Reports of work done
during the month of August were
given.
The circulation of books during
the month was 9SS, of which 246
We're children's books. For the hot
test month of the year the circulation
of non-fiction, - per cent of the
whole, was good. During the month
1887 people went to the library as
readers. patrons and sight-seers.
The children will be delighted with
a series of pictures which have just
been placed in their room. The SER

at Work and Play was purchased in
New York by Mrs. Butterfield.
Gifts of old magazines will be very
acceptable in the reference depart
ment of the library: the magazines
which the housewife finds SO hard tc
care for will be more accessible in
the library because of the magazine
index. If the donors SO desire, the
magazines will be called for. One

not overdrawn in any respect, and
it seemed like a chapter taken out
of the every day life at Cripple Creek
and set before the people in a real
listic manner. Ernest Fisher present

The act was cheered wildly. Mis-

Astonishing Demonstration
Made by Cooper.
Gives Sample Of Work in St.
Louis That Aroused East.

Preparation for Stomach Trouble.

st. Louis. Jan. 9.-On Wednesday
afternoon some remarkable demon
traticns were siver in public by II. l..
Cooper or the Great Cooper" as he is
called. who is introducing for the first
time iii ST Louis the preparations
which created Il sensation IN eastern
cities
The demonstrations took place at
Mr.. CoOprrS headquarters and were
witnessed by several hundred people.
As nearly as could be learned the facts
were these:
At three o'clock in the afternoon
the young man agreed to show what
one of his remedies would do for
d, afncSs. and agreed to make any one
present who was afflicted with deaf
ness hear again in less than three
minutes.
There We're many deaf people pres
cnt and about a dozen of these Mere
given the demonstration. consisting If
Il single application of one of the
Cooper preparations.
The hearing of these people was
then tested after an interval Of he
tween Two and three minutes Tie
tt>t consisted Of questions put 10 them
in an ordinary conversational tone ut
stances VARYING from five to thirty
feet.
The results We're remarkable in tho
extreme. Some of these people who
we're treated had been deaf for q
hunbr of years. When the first UueS-
ton WAS asked look of amaZeme.lr
would spread over their faces ard they
would forget 10 answer the question.
AS the questions We're repeated the
surprised look would give way to one
Of delight. Many were so affected
that they burst into tears and wero
scarcely able to answer ire question.
In no single instance, so far as corJl
be- learned would an individual fail 10
hear. Many were able to near a finger
snap at j distance Of thirty feet. Ar
the request of Mr.. Cooper questions
were put L" them by their friends or
by various spectators in an ordinary
tone Of voice and the questions were
readily answered.
In giving an account Of these dem
onstrations. Mr.. Cooper said:
The preparation used is not the one
with which | accomplish most. as nv
New Discovery, as it is called. and to
which | owe my success is for tho
treatment Of all forms Of stomach
