The sport writer's of Omaha allege

several times greater than in the berg

Eagles. This would be suitable for
the reason that their leader has a

A SUBSTITUTE FOR READING.


Presently it will be unnecessary. g

moving picture show has opened up
boundless yistas of ease and comfort
to mankind. The sanitary authorities
have already recognized this. showing
an enterprise altogether beyond that
of the publishing fraternity. But it
viii not take the makers of books long
to recognize what they must do to be
saved, commercially.
The New York health authorities
have arranged series of moving
pictures that will move anything; even
the emotions. A scene on the farm is
depicted where the son has come back
from an agricultural college and is
trying to instill into the old folks ideas
of the sanitary handling of milk. Of
course they ridicuIe book larnin'"
and allow that they knew how to treat
milk before the college professor who
has put foolish ideas into the boys
head was born. Some time is suppos-
ed to elaDse, and the educated and
sanitary son is living with his wife and
baby in. the city, and the baby is pois-
0ned by microbes in milk, and the
heart-broken grandparents arrive just
in time to see the narrowing end ana
learn that it was milk from their farm
that was fatal
This is vastly easier and more i'm
.pressiye than reading book on bacte-
.riology. Very few people will do the
latter; pretty much everybody will go
to a moving picture show. The idea Is
capable of indefinite application. In-
stead Of reading a novel you could
drop into a moving picture show for
little while and a series Of views, with
possibly a few words of description or
dialogue thrown on the screen by the
stereopticOn, would enable you to talk
with anybody about the best seller
well, no; there would be no novel sold;
the best shower. Heavy and serious
books could be brought within the
easy reach Of the most indolent. The
Decline and Fall Of the Roman Empire
especially the Fall-would be great
in a series Of rapid views On white
screen. And as for newspapers-well
come to think of it, the plan seems
quite impracticable in the case Of
news: we cannot believe that the pub
lie would give up newspapers; but II
course books and magazines could
easily be displaced.

THE SILLY SEASON.

Orchard Linthicum, in N. Y. World)
While the ocean tides are flowing
And the breezes cool are blowing
Here at home, some folks are going
To a far-off countryside
Where there's no accommodation
And it's hotter than tarnation,
And they call it a vacation"
To be broiled and baked and fried
If YOU ask them why they go there,
Where its forty miles from nowhere,
They can't give you any reaFon,
Only it's The silly season.
See her in her new creation"
Make a bid for admiration;
See the looks of CONSERVATION
At the maiden cute and pert;
Every step or two she's stopping,
Then resume her queer fli-dopping,
Like a kangaroo she's hopping,
Fer sic wears a hobble skirt.
And She makes you think youy,
got EN-,
For is tied around the bottom;
And there isn't any reason,
Only its the silly season.
At the seashore folks are focking
Where d mutt his boat is rocking;
See tie beach costumes oh, shock,
ing,-
Safe beyond the wavelet's swish!
While his pride is upward yelling
inn
Hear the angler loudly telling
Gorgeous lies about a fish
IF YOU ask them why they do it,
There is but one answer to it,
For there isn't any reason,
Only it's the silly season.
