INF ROWING THE
PUBLIC LIBRARY

Plans for improving the Carnegie
Public library are presented by Rev.
j. L Carver, chairman Of the library
board. in the following suggestions
as to a more inviting, comfortable
central reading room
MANY of the people of Ogden will
be surprised to know the demand
for good reading as that demand is
evidenced almost daily in the Carne-
gle library reading room This room
occupies the south half of the first
floor of the building and is plainly, but
well furnished There are in it seven
tables and about these seven tables
are twenty-eight chairs. Four chairs
TO a table are about as many as
can be seated comfortably and have
ample room for reading the maga
zines, papers. books, etc
There are over forty periodicals
taken regularly f0r this room. These
include most of the leading monthly
and weekly periodicals and few
daily papers About twenty of these
are donated by the publishers and the
remaining ones paid for by the Ii
brary This room is open 10 the puo'
lie on week days from IL TO ., and
on Sundays from 2:30 p. m TO G;30
pl m.
Now most every one who is read
ing this will say or think, that the
general reading room is very well
equipped for the needs of Ogden, hav
ing twenty-eight chairs seven tables
and forty periodicals So | thought
also. until learned the facts, and the
facts are as follows
This reading room on an ordinary
day is usually filled and the periodi-
Gals are so we'll read that many OF
them are well worn by the time d
new one comes. and on special days
or when the weather is inclement
there are not nearly enough chairs
for those who come For instance on
Sunday last 104 entered the reading
room between and l:30. Now. as
there were only twenty-eight chairs
for all they either stood up or went
away, Oftimes the halls are filled
with those standing during the Sun
day and special day hour.
There is no other place In Ogden
where anyone can go and read and
rest Many are tTansients here and
they use this reading room to large

In short. it is ever a cosmopoliton and
representative class that the reading
room serves.
'The Library Board has In view a
plan which when realized will be
about as follows:
There Is a very large vacant room
which would make a most excellent |
reading room. AS there is no room
for further expansion in the present

A Nation Of BRIDGE Builders.


The United States is notably in ad-
vance OF all other nations in the
science and practice of bridge build
ing The increasing demands OF COM
merce justified longer and longer
spans, the weight of locomotives and
trains doubled and trebled. the single
bridge members increased to one hun
dred feet In length and one hundred
tons weight. wonderful steam, ny
dranlic. pneumatic and electric ma
chine tools were made to fashion them
with. and costly special shops were
built in this country and operated by
thousands OF men The methods and
facilities of erection have kept pace
with these Developments. Enormous
derricks, travelling towers and steel
rope tackles operated eight at time
by single steam or electric hoistinE

assembling the great members quick

FIGHTS FOR LIFE
IN RAZOR BAT TIE
BARBER GOES MAD WHILE SHAW
ING PATRON AND ATTEMPTS
To CUT HIS THROAT.
'NHY ONE BARBER SOLD OUT
Iamuel Hull Tells of a Fiendish De-
sire He Had to Stay with His
Razor Which Forced Him
to Quit the Business.

Philadelphia.-Sam Hull, keeper
Of restaurant In West Philadelphia
probably was the most interested OF
any person who read of the desperate
battle William Porter, McKeesport
business man, had with James Robin
son. barber, who suddenly went in
sane while shaving Porter few days
ago.
Hull formerly was a barber and he
gave up his trade because of the fear
that he would some day cut the throat
of one of his patrons. He read with
interest the story about Porter's fierce
fight for his life and does not share in
the theory that excitement due to bas-
ketball games made Robinson insane.
Mr.. Porter entered the barber shop
and took seat in a chair to be
shaved. Robinson began talking very
fast while whetting his razor, and
Porter by the aid of glass saw
strange look on the barber's face. He
started to raise his head just as Rob-
inson, with a wild scream, threw him
self on him trying to slash his throat
The keen blade laid open Mr.. Por-
ter's cheek to the bone, and as he
tumbled to the floor of the chair Rob
inson dashed to the door and turned
the key in the lock- 1t was fully ten
minutes before the police arrived to
batter down the door and rescue Por-
ter, who had fought like demon to
keep the crazed barber with the razor
from his throat.

comment. 1--WE been expecting 1t for
years and knew 1t would come. l was
\ barber once and had nice little
business in a town In Ohio. 1 had to
give 1t up for fear l would commit
murder.
ut was this way. One day a young
man came into the shop and ordered a
shave. While l was working on his
neck the razor slipped and gave him,
a slight cut. He made no complaint,
knowing it was an accident The sight
of the blood had a peculiar effect on
me- / had cut men before-what bar
ber doesn't-and my only regret was
for my carelessness and the slight in
convenience 1t might cause my patron.
But this day couldn't get the sight
of the blood out eof my mind.

''That." said Senator Tillman of an

Lenzo was walking under the Rock

street when he got the command. He
recognized it as a woman's voice and
believed it was one Of his girl friends
who was trying to play trick on him.
He turned with smile and found
himself facing revolver.
IF you move I'll blow your head
off, said the woman, calmly. Il want
your money and l want it quick
Then it was that Lenzo saw 1t was
no trick. He handed over the money
he had in his pockets and his watch.
Now stay right here and don't try
to follow me or III shoot" ordered the
woman as she backed away I'm

Lenzo did as he was ordered and
stood watching the woman as she
hurried away. Imagine his amaze

chauffeur put on full speed and the
machine was almost out Of sight when
