are not always to be classed with the
good books. The constant reading
of bad or worthless books finally
lowers the ability to read the good
ones, and he illustrated this by a
story which was told him by wo-
man who attended one of his talks.
Reading for the story of a book, for
the sensation, is not good. and when
the point is reached where one reads
just for the sake of the story told it
is time to leave that class of books
alone.
Bad books, that is those which do
not teach some useful lesson, should
he said, for the people of this coun-
try to take into consideration the
kind of books which our young peo-
pie are reading, as the reading of
some classes of books is the curse of
the generation. In this connection
he explained what some of the books
are which should be left alone.
Besides the bad books there are
some which are not really bad books
but which cannot be classed with
the good books. Some of these
s'.ould be glanced over, he said, but
a great deal Of time should not be
wasted with them.
Taking up the good books he said
he did not wish to be understood as
condemning all novels with the bad
books as that would not be correct.
There are many works of fiction,
novels, which are good books and
should be read, but the good books
are the ones which increase our
knowledge or give power to the
mind, and these are the ones to be
read or studied. In this connec-
ton he spoke Of the books of a num-
Der of prominent authors which deal
with life in New England, the West,
and other parts Of our country which
are necessary in gaining a knowledge
of the people.

Rand cannot meet the contingency.
Hammock becomes so insistent that
Rand, in desperation, orders him
from the house.
Hammock plays his trump card by
refusing to leave, giving as his ex-
cuse the fact that he is ION to- Rand
crooked deals.
Furthermore, declares the fiend, he
has married Rand's younger sister that
very morning.
Here is a situation, which for out
right horror, needs no description.
Hammock, crazed from the effects of
a drug, gloats over his victory.
Unable to buy him off, Rand tells
him of his birth. The impossibility,
the carna1 sin of such a union rouses
Hammock to a sense of the awful re-
sponsibility in a manner which could
hardly be expected of a degenerate.
Hammock at first denies the fact. He
insists upon staying. Rand then sends
for his sister, intending. to tell her Of
Hannock's birth. He is saved the
trouble-Hannock quickly draws a pis-
tol and shoots the girl through the
heart.

Lincoln An Example.

Some books are to be studied,
books of the professions. Of educa-
ton. of inspiration, books Of know
ledge, books of power, and he defin-
ed the latter as books which bring
out from the mind the capability to
grasp things, to find the meanings,
and to brighten the mind In the gen.
eral grasping Of the problems of life
with which we are confronted.
He spoke of authors VIII be-
which he reads constantly and from
which new strength and meaning IS
gained, and said that many of the
brightest men had books which oe-
longed to them in that sense. ana
mentioned Lincoln among others.
Lincoln was great reader, OF the
Bible particularly, but the author
whom he owned was Shakespeare.
Lincoln, who was one Of the best
judges of human nature, constantly
read the writings of the greatest de-
lineator Of human nature. whittier
had Burns for his own author, and
the speaker mentioned other great
men who took possession of the
works of an author for themselves.
That is the design Of the Chautau-
qua, he said, to read, to STUDY, ano
to make ours what We read and what
we study. 1t is not the idea to READ
more books, but better books, and TO
read them better.
He spoke at length Of reading in
the spare time and pointed out what
could be accomplished in the way OF
education, by devoting the few mo-
ments of leisure or waiting, trolley
or train riding, to the perusal OF
books which are worth while, Books
should not be read, he said for the
purpose of passing the time but to
fill it.
We should do away with the bad
books and utilize the good ones, and
the world is filled with the gooo
books. and we should learn how to
use them.

Agents have already been dispatched
to the south to buy food supplies.
These will be sent out by pack trains
and it will probably be weeks before
the remote farmers villages, where
the suffering is worst, can be reached.
Meanwhile, the peasants are dying
daily by the hundreds and the pres
ence of the unburied dead presents a
fearful menace to those who would
endeavor to bring relief.
To prevent a recurrence of the fam
inc which is caused by the destruction
of last years crops, due to the flood
ing Of the country by the HWai riv-
err and it's tributaries, permanent re-
lief works are planned. It is propos-
ed~to drain the vast network of can

them. Efforts are being made to drive
the people away from the river bot

to go, are sleeping in the open with

Alderman Cuddy Resigns;
Defends National Anthem

Alderman Patrick Cuddy, who was
recently appointed a collector of per-
sonal taxes rendered his resignation
as follows: ITO his Honor the Mayor.
and the members Of the Board of AL
dermen-With a feeling of regret
mingled with some pleasure I hereby
tender my resignation as member
of your honorable body. I regret to
sever by connections SO soon after
the splendid testimonials from my
constituents in the tenth district and
my associates in fraternal societies.
would willingly fill out my full term
could I do so in accordance with the
City charter. Although advanced in
years I am still necessitated to work
for living. This work has been ten
dered to me by his honor the Mayor,
and for which I am not ungrateful. I
feel grateful to my constituents in
the Tenth district and thank the DEM
ocratic members of this Board to
whom recommend my successor. And
I assure my colleagues and the people
of the Tenth district that he will be
a man with as much integrity and
more experience in municipal affairs
than I am possessed Of Hoping you
will accept this resignation and also
the spirit in which it is rendered
remain very respectfully yours, Patrick
Cuddy"
The resignation was accepted after
remarks of regret by Aldermen Hugh
J. Lavery, William E. Primrose and
Horace H. Jackson.
Alderman Cuddy presented the fol-
lowing resolution. Resolved, That the
Memorial Day committee be and here
by is requested to wait upon the
Board of Education and ask if it's
members recognize Francis Scott Keys
"Star Spangled Banner" as Americas
national anthem. and if so that the
board be requested to instruct the
teachers in the public schools to train
the children who will take part in
Memorial Day exercises so that they
may sing the anthem in harmony" In
support of the resolution Alderman
Cuddy made a spirited address in
which he said there had been a ten
dency on the part of the publishers
and teachers to omit the third verse
of the anthem. He intimated that
there was undoubtedly an Anglo-Sax-
on reason for the omission of the
third verse and that in justice to the
author and the nation an effort should
be made to preserve the grand song
as it was written. He said that he
had noticed that Andrew Carnegie had
a new anthem for America
but he felt certain that the sentiment
of the people at large is that the
Star Spangled Banner is the one song
that is really the anthem of the ma
tion inspired when the nation was in
the throes of a war with a despotc
enemy, and that 1t should be preserv
ed as long as the nation itself. His
remarks were applauded and his reso-
luton unanimously adopted.
