LAND YELLED TO GOD.
Philadelphia Couple Leave Property
 for Peculiar Purpose.

In La Porte, Pa, has been discover ed deed that conveys four acres of land to God. The instrument was made by Peter E. Armstrong and wife, once rich residents of Sullivan county. Pa, and is dated Aug. 3, 1864. The couple, so far as Is known, were not members of a religious sect, but gave the portion of their property as the deed says, that his saints may be fully separated from the world and gather together and enjoy that light and liberty which they did in the once faithful days of their theocracy." Whereas" the deed continues, 'in consideration of Almighty God in the past and present, which we do humb- ly acknowledge, and for the exceeding great and precious promise of unend- ing life to those who in holy faith and patience wait for the coming of his anointed son to judge the world, which promises we have received from Him who is creator and original grantor of earth's territory to the chil- dren of men-we do by these presents deed, grant and convey to Almighty God, who inhabiteth eternity, and to his heirs, to the intent that 1t shall be subject to bargain and sale by mans cupidity no more forever" The four acres are situated just outside or the town of Celestia, and when transferred were part of a wilderness
 One of Armstrongs sons looks after the property. but recognizes the deed

Seton's Bear Stories? Who of our boys interested in adventure would read Nick Carter when they knew the delights of Kip ling's Captains Courageous, " the story of fine, brave lad vet as natural as any boy in Pres colt? And so I could name doz- ems and dozens of books that would catch the interest of our boys immediately, and yet the books of literary value. Why do these boys read Nick Carter and Jesse James? Because they have never even heard of the great man, Thompson Seton, who has lived his life among animals and in their cause. They know mo- thing of his fine animal stories that catch ones whole attention on the first page and hold it to the very last word. "Oh," some of the boys say, Il don't like an. imal stories. I challenge any boy in this town to read Lives of the Hunted' and Wild Ami mals I have Known" and then say truthfully that he does not like animal stories.
 These men are experts in their line. They have made it their life, work. have devoted their

CHEW GUM IN COURT.
Western Judges, Lawyers and Juries
 All Addicted to Habit

The prevalence at important trials here and elsewhere seems to have had the somewhat unusual result of boost ing the business of caterers to the public fancy in several directions "Dementia Americana Sundaes" and popular dramatic productions based on municipal corruption plots are not the only things that have thrived on the general interest in the progress of these trials Another result has been the breaking of the gum chewing mo nopoly, long accorded to the telephone and shop girl, for the habit has spread amazingly. It was begun locally with the jurors in the graft trials. Forced to sit through long hours for five or six days a week in the court room and deprived of the solace of cigar or to- bacco, the jurors chewed gum. The practice spread to the members of the juries which have followed. and now the casual visitors who drops in one of the court rooms where any of the trials are in progress will see room full of slowly grinding jaws, jurors and court room habitues alike, chew ing the product of the choice factor ies--San Francisco Call.

Prohibition Sweeps On.
(Bv the Local Union)

As Birmingham goes, so goes Alabama" has been on the lips and in the hearts of AlabamianS for several weeks.
 Since this great city has gone dry, we feel that we will have the pleasure of chronicling the same condition for the whole state in a short while.
 The beauty of the situation, however, is the attitude of the Mayor and other officers. They declare in no uncertain tones that they will enforce the law; That back of the prohibitory law they stand armed with the power to carry out it's enforcement, and that they will do it. A veritable wave of law enforcem ent seems to have taken possession of men in authority in many, many plac- es, It speaks well for them, and it is only through them can we , expect order.
 Now since we have a prohibi. tion town why can't our officers inaugurate such system of gov, ernment? Can it be that they are too much absorbed in private af, fairs to leaJn of the gross viola tionS that(are made?
 Or are they indifferent?
 It surely cannot be that they want to make of prohibitory law such seeming farce that peo- pie will favor an open saloon to present prevailing condition? Surely not, yet this is trick of ten worked by those who favor the saloon. The country people as well as our town people are growing tired of it. Then wake up,ye officers, and pin the law on these violators and thus redeem yourselves in the eyes of good people. Even the others would admire you for your courage. IInowrite better books than o9r |who writes catchy books tC |sell?" It is the duty of the peo pie of Prescott to bring these looks within the reach of our |boys. They can do this in ;

Five Reasons why Prescott Needs s
 Public Library.

1st Because there is a demand for it, as is shown by the chil- dren of our public school. Some Doubling Thomas" may think the people of Prescott would not appreciate a library, but any teacher will tell you as the child is, so is the home," then let us look for a moment at our school children. Friday is Library day, and from sixty to one hundred and twenty boys and girls want books. Even the little fellows of the first and second grades want a liberry," as they ex press it. Usually they take these books home and their mothers read aloud to them. There are very few of these mothers who do not heartily approve of the school library. Do you not think they would appreciate library where they could get books for themselves? Remember, dear people, that you are placing very low estimate on your towns people when you say they arenot interested in books.
 2nd. A Public Library will arouse a widespread loyalty to the institutions of our town. We have nothing in Prescott that tends to draw the whole people together. While the interest in the school is far-reaching, still there are many people who are not bound in any way to this in stitution. Having no children in school, they almost forget there is such a thing here. In fact, we lack, somewhat, that loyalty and patriotism that should be ours.
 A Public Library, gotten up by the people, and for the people, would draw the town into closer relationship. In other words, would be the tie that binds our hearts, while possibly not in Christian love, at least in a local patriotism that would wake this old town from her slumbers.
 3d. Prescott needs a Library lon account of the size of the place. It is a rare thing for a small town to secure the best of anything in the way of entertainers. .-lectur ererS, readers, or even circus companies. But though we are denied this, we can give our peo' pie the best books, and we can accomplish this by means of a Town Library.
 4th. 4 Library of good, whole some books will serve as an in spiration to the youth of our town. It will broaden their lives, make them see further than just to-day. What constitutes your world? The people you know, the things you have seen, and the work of each. Suppose these are limited to Prescott and a few other small towns in the United States, then your world is very narrow. Would you not enjoy travelling to New York, London, Paris. Berlin. all the great cities? l-Wouldn't you be interested in the queer customs of Japan, Ire land. France. and the various countries? Books, and interest ing books of fiction, too, will take tyou toyali these placesGif'yoa on | x,know what books to get, and fare able to buy them. Very few of sour pe6pleeafeaable toobuy many books.
