The Value of the Library to Us
Country People.
(By Mrs. Fullmer OF the Country
Club.
We, who are engaged in the SER
ious business of farming. find little
time for general culture. Mother
Earth demands long hours from those
who would gain OF her rich treasures.
And as the husbandmcn must sow
in springtime that he may reap in
harvest so must the housewife at
tend strictly to the manifold duties
that fall to her share. If she would
be the helpmatc God intended her to
be.
However. by careful management.
both the farmer and his wife can find
little time for reading-not only
such books and papers as will be of
practical aid to them in their every
day work. but they may also get such
a glimpse of the worlds best litcra-
turc as will broaden their mental
horizon and add a new zcst to life.
| believe that we could take at least
fifteen minutes day for general
reading without our work suffering.
1t is so easy to waste time that we
probably spend more than that cv-
cry day in ways thtat bring us little
If anv benefit. For instance. much
time is often wasted over the daily
paper. on which only n few minutes
should be spent We can soon learn
how to CLEAN in very short time the
current events and bits of information
that will be both interesting and
helpful to us. ignoring as worse than
useless. detailed accounts of TRACE
dies and sensational matter in gencr
al
If We are enthusiastic over our
chosen work. as we all should be. we
will need no warming in regard to
letting our professional reading suf-
fer Our life work. and whatcvcT
helps we can get toward making it
n success should always come first.
In this dlv of specialization. we each
should be Il specialist along Our line.
and should make our daily vocation
a means of growth and development.
But we should not allow it to monop-
Ollie our time and interests. else we
shall become narrow and matcrialis-
tic. Ii on the other hand. we keep
a oood book or helpful magazine
:rticlc within easy reach. we will ac-
complish quite a large amount OF
General reading in wears time.
There may be many days when IT
will be impossible to snatch even ff-
teen minutes for reading. but II we
arc watchful OF our opDortunitics.
we can more than make up this loss
some less bus time.
Fiction biography. history. art.
and science furnish so many divis-
ions in the great field OF literature
that every taste can be satisfied.
However. it would not be best for
anv of us to follow Our taste for the
one to the exclusion of all the others:
but rather. let lis follow historical
fiction with history. history with BIZ

Mr.. Cutter, described as the
travelling immigration of a rail
road that finds profit in haul
ing folk to Texas, processes to
have a superlatively good opinion
of that state. Perhaps it is a
personal opinion only, but we see
him quoted as saying that New
York cannot long hold her title
of the Empire State, because
Texas has lower taxes than any
other state, more coal and oil
than Pennsylvania, more iron
than Alabama. more granite than
New Hampshire, more Ignite
and koaline than all Europe. more
timber land than Michigan, more
fruit land than California, more
corn land than Illinois, more
cotton land than any other state,
more miles of railway than any
other state, and is building more
every year than any other state.
But hasn't Texas also got more
freak legislators than any other
state, Brother Cutter, and don t
you think the superiority of the
Lone Star State in that detail
will always save New York her
title?
Texas is a mighty big state;
big in various ways and enor-
nous in territory. She is, in
fact, an empire state, and always
has been. VIII she ever eXer-
else her privilege of subdivision,
and become five states, sending
ten senators to Washington in
stead Of two. Probably not, un-
less for reasons not yet suggest
ed that may sometime develop,
The privilege Of having more
Senators is not very greatly
valued just now, senators being
regarded by the considerable
proportion Of our people who
want the tariff revised as neces-
sary evils ordered by the Consti-
tuition. But folks who live in a
big rich state are still proud of
that association. and it will doubt
less take strong practical rea-
sons to overcome the sentiment
of the Texans for the state of
Texas. and induce them to split
it up. -Harper's Weekly.
