The PUBLIC LIBRARY
AS A REST ROOM

A rest room for the use of out.of-
town shoppers and strangers In town
who have some hours to spend here In
waiting, is an idea that needs only
to be suggested to meet with hearty
approval. We need such a room in
Florence. We are constantly receiv.
ing the benefit of the patronage of
people from the camps and from neigh
boring settlements and it is reciprocal
duty to make every possible provision
for their comfort. Such provision
has its humanitarian side, but 1t has
an intensely practical side as we'll.
Women especially would prefer to
travel little farther, If necessary to
do their shopping in town which
manlfests such consideration for their
welfare. Last Fourth of July when
the women of the Civic Improvement
League, with the financial support of
the Business Mems association, pro-
vided such rooms for the use of out
of-town visitors, the value of such
plan was demonstrated.
The board of managers of the Flor
ence Pablo Library, recognizing this
need in our community. are desirous
of extending the usefulness of the
library by meeting the need. SO far
as possible. We have room, COM
Portable and oommodious, always
clean and attractive. where a great
variety of tine best reading material
is provided freely, located within q
block of the business part of town.
The library board therefore has Just
issued an invitation to strangers in
town and out Of town shoppers to
make use of the library AS reading
and rest room This invitation is in
the form of window cards which will
be displayed in the business houses of
town, and in the camps, and the mer.
chants requested to give the invita-
tion all possible publicity. Let the
idea lonce be impressed upon the
minds of our out of town friends that
this room is here provided free of
charge for their use, as we'll as for
the use of the towns-people, and tho
rest will be easy. They will form
the habit of availing themselves of
the opportunity. and they and we
will receive the benefit. and from
this beginning, inadequate in some
respects as it Is, the way will be
opened for the establishing of Rest
Room that shall meet the ideal condi-
tions.
Mrs. n. W. Mcconnell,
For the Library Board.

Judge Champion has Just returned
home from holding n session of the
district court In UhafYee county,
which occupied his attention for
about two and a half weeks. During
that time he tried, among other Grim
iDal cases. two very hard contested
murder cases One OF these was the
case of the People vs.. Cook, convicted
of the murder of Charles f. Cope Of
Salida. Much interest was taken In
this case. and n substantial peuiten.
tiaIy sentence was passed upon Cook,
being not less than go years and not
more than "a years. A life sentence
might have been given but this seI.
tence is probably equivalent. The
other murder case was the People vs..
McMullin, who was convicted Of
murder in the killing Of the Lon.
zendorf boy at Salida last year.
This term Of court at BuenA vista
attracted much attention and won for
the judge its favorable comment Of

Interesting War Article.

Amid the present-day talk Of mon-
ster battle-ships to provide for the
heaviest batteries, and now that it is
agreed that big guns are the great
essential, and every nation is trying
to have the biggest guns and the
biggest vessels to carry the greatest
number Of big guns, it is interesting
to have an article from the pen Of an
ordnance officer who fought with the
first breechloaders. Brigadier- Cen
eral ]. P. Farley, U. S. A., formerly
Colonel of Ordnance and soldier OF
the old school, yet one whose days
have been prolonged to admit of his

Pick" a very striking account of the
first use Of the breechloadlng rifle

many thrilling incidents, not to say
some hitherto unwritten bits Of his
tory, at the same time indicating
something Of the tremendous pro-
gress made during his fifty years ol
experience with ordnance. Illus

The American Buffalo.

How many buffalo remain Of all
the mighty hosts that within the
memory Of living man roamed the
great plains? 1t is difficult to give
exact statistics. Three years ago, a
statement from Washington gave the
total number Of North American
buffalo as 1904, a conservative esti-
mate at that time.
The largest band in the United
States is the Corbin herd. belonging
10 the Austin Corbin estate of New
port, N. H. This 10 head has a
range of forty square miles i'll Blue
Mountain Forest, where they fend
for themselves for seven months OF
the year. The experience Of finding
their own summer living in COM
paratively cold climate has made
sturdy individuals Of this herd, which
some eighteen years ago had its
origin in a nucleus Of thirty head.

WAITING FOR CONGRESS
First Regular Session Under
Taft
CoyvEyES NEXT WEEK
News Letter From the National
Capital.

| Washington, d. c. Nov. 49,
Now that Thanksgiving is pas,
and that only few days remain
until the assembling of congress,
the city is rapidly filling up with
members and senators, their secre.
taries and all the legislative en-
tourage. 1t is anticipated that
this coming session will be one OF
unusual interest. 1t is the first
regular session of congress under
the new President. His message
is awaited with much interest.
There has been, even within his
own party, sharp criticism Of some
of his acts and pronouncements.
1t is quite natural that he should
be compared and contrasted with
his predecessor of whose mantle
and policies he is so universally
supposed to be the heir. The
origin of most of this criticism is
from the Ballinger-Pinchot en-
broglio and one hears wherever
politicians and quidnuncs are
gathered together the question
with emphatic significance. "What
do you think Roosevelt would have
done?"
The National Waterway con-
vention with its representatives
estimated at five thousand strong
is expected here about the middle
| of December and it may be set
:, down that nine-tenths of them are
with Clifford Pinchot in his contro-
versy with Secretary Ballinger.
Mr.. Taft it is thought is very much
like one of his predecessors, Presi-
dent Grant, in his determination
to stand by his cabinet officer when
he is under fire. In this connec-
ton the wisdom of Roosevelt in
Fastening to the antipodes, plung-
ing into the midst of the dark
continent to shoot elephants and
hippopatami, is commended. He
could not have kept out of the
scrimmage had he been here, and
everyone seems to know where he
would have stood. or rather where
he would have mixed in.
There is one characteristic oi
Washington, dark feature, which
makes it grotesquely and desolate.
ly unique among the cities of the
United States. There is here moi
only the largest negro population
OF any city in the world but it j:
also the LATEST and most degener
ate. The microbe of dependence
and indulgence and parasitism in
fects them. Forty years ago thei
ancestors, thousands of whom arr
still living, refugeed here during
the war, from Maryland. Virgini'
and the Carolinas. Rations wer'
issued to them. They lived OF
charity then and the mistakel
habit of feeding them and clothing
them and warming them by Chart.
has been aud is still kept up.
