Public Library Notes.

The following new books were placed
on our shelves the past week:
Schreiner-Woman and Labor.
Hughes Tom Browns School Days (neW
illustrated editiOn).
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and Palaces.
Addams-New Conscience and An Ancient
Evil.
Freemen-WOrld's Commercial Products
Sicles-EXercises in Wood Working.
HOwells-HerOineS of Fiction.
Tracy-Studies in Invalid Occupation.
The hand-books of the different po-
litical parties are now on our reading
tables. They give the platforms of the
different parties, and show the action
of their leaders on the great questions
of the day.
The Independent says of Olive
Schreiner's book, woman and Labor"
Nothing is more attractive in this
summary of the new social ethics than
the breadth of view, the clarity and
charity of the discussion. 1t is an
earnest and intelligent discussion of
woman's economic and social condition
written in an impersonal tone.

Hate and Cruelty and Animals.

Animals are neither moral nor i'm
moral. They are immoral. Their needs
are all physical. II is true that the
command against murder is pretty well
kept by the higher animals. They rare
~ kill their own kind. Hawks do not
prey upon hawks. nor foxes prey upon
foxes. nor weaSels upon weasels. but
lower down this does not hold Trout
eat trout and pickerel eat pickerel, and
among the insects young spiders eat
one another, and the female spider eats
her mate if she can get him. There is
but little if any neighborly love among
even the higher animals. They treat
one another as rivals or associate for
mutual protection. One cow will lick
and comb another in the most affec-
tionate manner and the next moment
savagely gore her. Hate and cruelty
for the most part rule in the animal
world-John Burroughs in Century.

Obituary.
EDWARD FORD.

Edward Ford, for over half century
a resident of the town of Porter, died
at his home Monday afternoon at 5
o'clock. The deceased was born in Kill
kenny, Ireland, Oct. 2, 1884, and came
to this country at the age of about 4
years. His parents settled near Mil
waukee and he remained with them
until he was Is years old, when he
came to Rock county and settled. He
has since resided here.
Mr.. Ford had been i'll for the past
seven weeks with paralysis, and his
death was fastened by the death of his
wife about three weeks ago. He was
married in 1871 to Mary Smith and nine
children were born to them, six of
whom are now living. They are: Mar
garet, Edward and John Ford of Por-
ter, Mrs. Edward Fox of Leyden, Mrs:
Lawrence Barrett of Center and Mrs.
Jud Mccarthy of Cooksville.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock from ST. Mich
ael's church in Porter.
The deceased was a man highly re-
spected in the community and was held
in the high esteem of all for his sterl-
ing qualities. He was kind and low
ing husband and father, and a true
friend and neighbor.
