ment that would suspend the
operation of this act, which the

.HabituaI Kindness.

There is no gift or grace that
goes further toward making one
beloved than the art of simple
kindness. Just to be- kind, III
smile and word and deed, is the
shortest, surest, road to power
over other lives. It is better to
be kind than brilliant one brings
affection and loyalty; the other
usually brings in its train only
envy and bitterness. This adorn.
ment of simple kindness is one
within the reach of everybody.
There is no person so untalented
as to be incapable of habitua]
kindness. The grace is one that
grows in any soil, and beneath
clouds or sunshine, snow or rain.
It has taken centuries for men to
grow into anything like an ap.
probation that is adequate of the
wondrous excel1encies of Jesus
Christ; but the humblest peasant
by the Lake of Galilee or upon the
hills of Judea,. could instantly
discern and understand his sim
pie kindness; for kindness is the
universal language. -Westmins-

A Sensible Way to Settle an Estate.

Sometimes there is a family row
over the division of property after
the head of the house dies, but
there would never be any trouble
of that nature if all heirs would
act as sensibly as did the children
of the late Esq. A. J. Austin, who
lived IN the northern part of the
county. Mr.. Austin died recently
and a week or two ago his child
rem met at the old homestead and
proceeded to divide the personal
effects among themselves. The
articles were put up to the highest
bidder and if Ole wanted the ar
ticle all he or she had to do was
to put the last and highest bid on
it. No one had anything to do
with the sale except the heirs.
There we're no minor heirs and
every one of the men and women
interested went into an agreement
to dispose of the property in the
way it was disposed of. There
will be no ill feeling in that fam
lily over the division of what their
father left Monroe En-

Miss Adsit Of University Training
School to Be Asked to Arrange En-

quardt Of Music Department Of
Schools Asked to Join.

The committee on Juvenile litera.
ture, recently appointed by the board
of trustees of the Carnegie library,
met On Saturday afternoon with Mrs
w. H. Holiday. They discussed ways
and means Of obtaining money to in
crease the number of books at present
available for the children of Albany
county.
Will Give Entertainment.
1t was decided to ask Miss Adsit
of the university training school to
give an entertainment in the library
auditorium sometime during the spring
term Of school. Prof. Marquardt is
also to be asked to have the children
of the public schools work up some
thing of a musical nature. By having
the children themselves help to earn
the money for new books it is hoped a
feeling Of property right in the IL
brary will be developed n thereby
increase their love for it, and the books
it will in turn give to them.
Books for ChiIdren's Room.
Besides new reading matter it is
the intention, when the time comes,
to recommend a number of illustrated
books and periodicals for the chill
dren's reading room. The committee
wishes to express their appreciation
of the good citizen who has offered
$3.50 if the city and county will raise
$3.50, thereby making a fund Of $1,000
for additional books for the coming
year. They sincerely hope that our fell
lowcitizens will "get busy" and not
allow SO generous an offer to be lost.
Will Meet Saturday.
The next meeting of the juvenile
literature committee will be held with
Mrs. Holiday next Saturday, at 8 p. M,
when each member and the citizens
generally are asked to present a list
of desirable books to add to this de-
partment.
