Former President Eliot of Har-
ward recently made the interesting
announcement that all the literature
In the world worth reading could be
put on five-foot shelf, and the H.
brary would consist of about - vol
umes. He says Americans read too
much and too promiscuously, and
says that ten minutes day spent
reading the cream of literature will
give one Il liberal education. This
library Is to he established nj Har-
ward as an object lesson, and all
the books are to be put in similar
bindings. Shakespeare, OF course,
is the leader, and Burns and vol
ume Of old Scotch ballads will be
among the books selected. Not how
many, but how good, will be the
keynote In the selection of the books.
The authorities at Philadelphia
have decided that the Liberty Bell
will never more wander from It's
own fireside. The officials of the
Seattle Exposition were so anxious
to have 1t as part of their exhibit,
and promised the very best care OF
1t, but 1t has been discovered that
the crack in the Bell Is widening
and that 1t would be unsafe to risk
it on long railway journey. The
last time 1t was abroad was in st.
Louis In 1904, and thousands paid
homage to II there, and an ovation
was paid it along the path of its
journey to and fro.
Here Is bit of the philosophy of
living and taking the "slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune" as
Hamlet says, and bearing them with

your way
With II resOlute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of
day
With u craven soul and fearful?
Oh, troubles ton, or troubles
an ounce,
Or II trouble is what we make it,,
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts,
But only how did you take it.
You are beaten to earth? Well, |
well, what's that?
Come up with "A smiling face.
It's nothing against you To fall |

But To lie there-that's disgrace.
I'll" harder you're thrown, why the |
higher you bounce,
BE proud Of your blackenod eye!
II ism I the fact that you're licked |
that counts;
It's how did you fight-and why?
And though you he done to death,
what then?
II you battled the best You could, |
If you played your part in the world |
of men,
Why, the Critic will call it good |
Death comes with u crawl, or comes |

And whether he's slow or spry,

But only how did you die?

Brother Matthews could do.

There is scarcely a paper which
does not contain an account of the
hard feelings between neighbor-
hoods in regard to keeping chickens.
A man in Kansas City was up be-
fore the court for permitting his
chickens to run mt large and in the
neighborhood, and the judge fined
him 800, but granted stay, pro-
vided he would pen his chickens.
There ought to be chicken as well
as IA stock law for the protection of
people who do not keep chickens,
for they are broilers in double
sense.

DECK FOR CORN SHOW
Second Story May Be Put in the Big
Auditorium.
ARCHITECTS SAY IT IS FEASIBLE

Square Feet of Space and BE
Movable When it Is De-
airabIe.

The National Corn exposition will be
held in the Auditorium and such tenn
porary buildings as will be necessary to
accommodate the big corn and grain show
This has been practically decided by the
exposition management. following a dis
cussion of the practicability ofa putting in
a second floor in the Audsttirium.. which
will almost double the space OF the big
building.
The plan is to put this floor across from
the balcony floor. extending over the en-
tire building, and removing the stage
which will also be double-decked. This
will give almost 10000 square feet of floor
space.
with this arrangement It will be un-
necessary to remove the seats in the bal
cony, but they will come in very handy
and the lectures and band concerts will be
given on the second story.
BY this arrangement also so much space
will be given that It is possible the Audi
torum management will bear a good share
of the expense. end the floor when taken
up, will be in such shape that II can be
readily put down again for any purpose
where the double-deck is needed. Archi-
tects who have looked over the proposition
declare it TO be feasible and one of the
best ideas they have had suggested to them
in connection with the exposition building
problem.

BALLOON FLIGHT SUCCESS

Army Men Have AtrshIp Towed Back

United States army signal corps dirigihle
balloon No. l. better known as the Baldwin
dirlgible airship, made a successful flight
Wednesday afternoon at Fort Omaha, with
First Lieutenant Frank p. Lahm as pilot
and First Lieutenant Benjamin ID. Eulois
as engineer.
The flight was somewhat delayed because
of a slight readjustment OF the engine
which operates the propeller but the big
airship was at length towed out of the
balloon house, over the half inflated spher-
ical balloon, the possibility of which gives
a good idea OF the immensty of the bal
loon house.
The aeronauts took their places in the
frail, elongated car in the balloon house,
Lieutenant Fulois being at the front end
of the car, from which the big propeller
Is operated, and Lieutenant Lahm at the
rear section, operating the canvas box-like
rudder.
The ascension and flight were highly sat-
isfactory, although the weather was not
favorable, the air being heavy and an
occasional sprinkling of rain falling. The
airship was permitted to ascend about 800
feet and was completely under control of
the two officers at all times. Three COM
plete circles were made over the balloon
grounds and the the balloon was sent over
toward Miller park, the ship bsing flown
at both high and low attitudes, and close
to the telegraph wires. Finally it was gen
tly tilted over the wires in order to show
how completely it was under control.
Feed Pipe Works Loose.
Flying over Twenty-seventh street near
Allison avenue the small feed pipe con-
became loosened by the vibration of the
propeller and 1t became necessary to de-
scend, which was accomplished without
accident. the airship settling down in the
street as gently as a bird. Rather than
undertake any further flight with the
slightly disabled engine, the airship was
then towed back TO the balloon house. II
