ingale, the heroine of the Crimean
war and the founder of the modern
system of ARMY field hospitals, died
in her ninety.ffth year. She was
never married having devoted her
life to the cause of saving, life and
diminishing suffering in times of war
and pestilence and to the general i'm
provement of hospital service at all
times and everywhere.
II was long before the day OF the
active suffragette and in the midst Of
the very time when it was considered
bad form for woman to stir out Of
her limited sphere that Florence
Nightingale accomplished the work
that made hc' name great and en-
during. She had not alone the sick
ness at Soutari and the cholera at
Balaklaya TO fight with. There was
the prejudice against "a woman en-
gaging in nursing campaign: there
were some who considered her an in
terfering busybody.
But Florence Nightingale, having
once earned her place, never lost It,
An invalid as she was from the ef-
feets OF her hard work and the chol-
era, too, she retired early from the
public view and in the shelter of that
niche seemed even more heroic than
before.

The Expense Of a Wife.

A wife is Il decided addition to the
demands upon ones purse. In that
sense, however sensible and managing
she may be. she is expensive. But
everything worth having has its price
of one sort or another and there are
some things which cost much without
which life is hardly worth living.
Said Thiers: "Most men contemplate
making some self denial when they
marry. They think they will give up
such and such expensive pleasures.
Later on, when they discover that they
cannot do so, aud Mt the same time
they lack the means to indulge. they
complain that IL is the extravaganza
of their wives which causes the incon-
veuience."
Which wise saying is applicable TO
men IN other countries besides that Of
France.-New York American.

yelopes at about 1880 Tuesday even

bells and whistles at that time, you
will know that the collectors are
starting and they will wear badge
furnished by the Ladies Auxiliary,

WHY WE WANT A
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Why We Want A Public Library.

Why We Want A Public Library.
Because we all believe in public
libraries. We frequently discuss the
library we are to get bye and bye. "
We do not find that it is helping
the boys and girls who are growing
up in our town now. Will the next
generation need it more than this?
VIII the children of the next genera
tion be dearer to us than the boys
and girls that now cheer our fire
sides? VIII they use a library to
better advantage because their par
ents have not had such privileges?
We all want a library for our
selves, for our neighbors, for the
good name of our city. Why not
secure it now and be getting the good
of it? 1t is only a matter of method.
The library when built should be
a benefit to all the people and there
for should be built by all the people.
Give us all chance to help and then
the library will belong to all of us.
Instead of buying so many books
and magazines which wear out on
the shelves after one reading, let
us pool our issues" and put the
of small sums in one fund,
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1910-04-15

buy the best at the lowest prices
and use the volumes so bought for
the good of all. We need spend no
more money each year for literature
but we need to save the wastage due
TO unused books, foolish purchases
book agents commissions, ETC., and
we can have a public library without
other cost AUXILIARY.
