Pythians Go to Benkelman.

About twenty members of McCook
lodge No. AZ, K. Of p, went to Benkel-
man, Tuesday, to assist in the rejuvena-
ton of Republican Valley lodge No. 101.
They were accompanied from this place
by DR.. Ray and Will Love, the grand
chancellor and grand keeper of records
and seal of the domain of Nebraska,
who had stopped off between trains to
greet old friends and acquaintance. All
arrangements were completed and pre-
p~arations made in the afternoon, and
Immediately after supper the work of
initiating about thirty candidates was
begun, which ceremonies extended until
far in the night. At the conclusion of
the work all present enjoyed a sump-
tuous banquet and the attendant ora
tory, after which the visitors boarded
No. 2 for their homes. The hospitality
of the Benkelman brethren will long be
remembered by those fortunate enough
to be able to be present.

McCOOk Public Library

There is nothing that we should shrink
from more sensitively then advising peo-
pie what and how to read. 1t perhaps
savors somewhat of arrogance. But ow-
ing to prevalent reading of the lighter
works of fiction [ feel inclined to call
the attention of the patrons of the Ii
brary to the better class of reading
matter lying idle on its shelves.
In lieu of so much current fiction, why
not read the old books-those that have
stood the test of time. Read the pre-
face first. 1t was probably written last,
but the author put it at the beginning
because he wanted to say something
particular to you before you enter the
book. Go in at the front door. then
read slowly, carefully and thoroughly.
They will help you to discriminate
among the new ones. The verse of
Dante Gabriel Rossetti has a note of its
own.
Lambs Tales of Shakespeare are
meant to be submitted to the young
reader as an introduction to the study
of Shakespeare. There are few men of
letters of our own time whose prose has
been more praised for its freshness and
its originality thar Robert Louis Steg-
enson. Drummond's "The Greatest
Thing in the World" and "What All
the Worlds a-Seeking" are gems worth
while.
The librarian will gladly assist you in
becoming better acquainted with the
contents of the library.
The new books will be loaned for 7
days only and not renewed.
Library hours: Morning, 1870 to u
o'clock; afternoon, from 1:3O to 6 o'clock;
evenings, from Z to 9 O'Clock; Sunday
afternoon, from 2 to ) o'clock.

Some Base Ball Matters.

The local nine has organized with R.
Fl. Turner as captain and G. S. Scott as
manager.
The game of last Friday went to Ok
ford at 10 to 6. Saturdays game was
Vol by Arapahoe to the tune of 9 to 3.
Both of these games on the local dia-
mond.
This weeks games have all been pull
ed off at Cambridge: Tuesdays con-
fict was with Holbrook, who won 3 to 2.
Wilsonville proved too slow for the
locals in Wednesdays game which Nc
Cook won IL to l.
Cambridge won Thursdays game, 3 to
l, but it was one of the best games of
the season just the same. 1t took a
special coach to carry the McCook peo-
pie to the reunion to see this game.
Tomorrow McCook and Indianola will
have a tryout.

Christian EndeaYor Convention.

Owing to delayed trains all day Fri
day it was impossible to carry out the
regular program, although there was a
formal opening in the morning and a
general discussion in the afternoon, after
which the delegates were escorted over
the city and through the shops.
Friday evening, Rev. j.. I'll. Bennett
delivered a most enthusiastic address
upon the subject, "Be An Automobile
Christian"
Special musical numbers, consisting
of a male quartette, vocal and violin
solos, were rendered, which added much
to the pleasure of the evening.
Saturday was a day full Of good
things, beginning at sunrise with a
rousing prayer meeting. At the opening
of the morning session special attention
was given to the report of Secretary
Bunnell in which he gave comparisons
of this and last years work. 1t was
gratifying to note progress made in diff
ferent departments of the union.
The discussion of missionary work,
Saturday afternoon, was followed by a
reception on the church lawn given in
honor of the delegates, by the entertain
ing societies.
Saturday evening MIR. Meyer of the
Christian church, gave the final word
on missions. 1t was certainly an inspi-
ration, Sunday morning to see the bright
faces of the delegates and local young
people as they gathered together for the
sunrise prayer meeting. The regular
Sunday morning service "a addressed
by Rev. G. B. Hawkes. of the Congrega-
tional church. Its appeal was strong
for more active work among young peo-
pie. The Junior rally was conducted by
its superintendent, Miss Wagey of
Cambridge. The exercise was in the
nature of a chalk talk. 1t was made
most impressive by the helpful words
of Dr.Finch and special numbers render
ed by the local Juniors.
The convention after the able. heart
felt sermon of Rev. Simpson of Cam
bridge, was most effectively brought to
a close by the conservation meeting.
The convention has meant much to our
local societies and community. Christ
ian Endeavor stands for the advance
ment of better manhood and woman
hood and citizenship. The workers go
forth with new enthusiasm and nobler
purpose in life. By their renewed efforts
and Christian example they will be able
to accomplish better results during the
coming year.
The convention will meet next year at
Franklin with the following officers:
President, A. j. Bunnell, Franklin;
vice president, Miss Addie Wagey, Cam
bridge; junior superintendent, Miss Me-
dora Santee, Orleans; superintendent of
missions, Miss Goldie Stevens, Minden.
The resolutions showed that the dele
gates heartily appreciated the efforts
put forth by the local societies and
friends who contributed so much to the
comfort of the delegates.

DR.. Brandon, Concert Pianist, Coming.

we eeHo PteaSafe Ia announcing GnaL
on next Monday and Tuesday nights,
August % and n, DR.. II. Brandon Of
Omaha, concert pianist, will appear in
this city under auspices of the Method
list church. On Monday night he will
deliver his well-known lecture, "The
Cultivation of the Beautiful the Foun-
dation of Happiness" The admission
to this lecture will be free. On Tues
day night he will put on his famous
lecture piano recital. DR.. Brandon
will give incidents from the lives of the
composers and the story of each COM
position before it is rendered. The enter
tainment will be educational in the
highest degree. Admission to concert,
adults SOC, children 25c. DR.. Brandon
is well and favorably known throughout
the United States, but we feel that a
few words of introduction would not be
out Of place here.
DR.. Brandon began the study of music
in January, 1885, al the early age of four
and a half years, and continued his pro-
gress in the study of music. graduating
from the New England Conservatory, of
Boston, in this country in May, 1892.
Being still further ambitious to place
himself at the top of his profession he
m~atriculated in the conservatory of
music in Leipsic, Germany, in the fall
of the same year, receiving his doctors
decree in music from this school in 1896.
He went from this school to Vienna, and
was for six months a pupil of Leschete-
sky, the best known teacher of piano in
the world. From Vienna, DR.. Brandon
went to Paris, where he spent five
months in the French Acadamy of
music. From this school DR.. Brandon
concerted for two seasons over Cont
mental Europe, during which time he
had the distinguished honor of playing
before nine of the royal families of the
old world. In 1898 ne returned to this
country and began teaching in the Gin
SiulbLl SOIICSC VI IIluolC hHCIO AO .
manned until 1900. In the summer of
this year he was sent to Europe as a
delegate from the Music Teachers Ma
tional Association of this country, where
he distinguished himself in the promo
ton u the universal system of finger
ing. 1t will be remembered that this
system was adopted by the Music
Teachers Congress, which convened in
Paris during the summer of 1900. DR..
Brandon remained at this congress AZ
days fighting for the simplicity of the
method in teaching against the old ster-
eoty ped ones which had been in use for
two hundred years. Early in the fall of
this same year DR.. Brandon returned to
this country and began teaching in Chi
cago with VIM. Sherwood, where he re-
NAMED until the summer of 1902. In
the fall of this year he came west and
has ever since been connected with
some school or conservatory of music in
Denver or Omaha, bringing credit and
distinction upon any school with which
he was connected.
