The learned English jurist, Judge
Willis, was very democratic and gen
ial sort of a man. On one occasion go
ing home in an omnibus which landed
him at an inn known as the Green
Man, be as usual passed the time in
friendly discourse with the passengers.
To one housewife who had been mar
keting he delivered a well meant lee
ture on the purchasing power of money,
the tariff, free trade and domestic and
political economy TO other passengers
he talked freely and dispensed counsel
and advice indiscriminately. Arrived
at his destination. he intimated to the
conductor. IL want to get out at the
Green Man" Accordingly the omnibus
slowed down, but as he was leaving his
seat lady touched him on the sleeve
and earnestly inquired, MY good man,

What One Library Does.

We do not appreciate the possibili-
ties of the town library. 1t is the peo-
pies university. A liberal education
can be obtained from 1t by any one
who will apply himself. Not only so,
but the library can be made center
FOR civic work.
For example there Is the public IL
brary of Newark, N. j. 1t not only
lends books to every one who applies
properly, whether he lives in Newark
or in the surrounding towns, but pub
formation, pointers, town booming
helps, answers to questions and invita-
lions to the people to phone or call on
the library for practical suggestions In
many different lines. Here are few
samples:
Have you an idea? Patent It, The
library will tell you how"
THE public library answers more
than thousand questions a day. Have
you tried it2 Call or telephone"
"Mr. Newark Manufacturer. your

index. Ask to see it,
"Cablegrams decIphered at the bust

Der glvenl."
Moreover. this publication is con
stantly making lists of new books OF
books on any given subject
These things can be done In a small
er or larger way by libraries all over
the land. The enterprislng librarian
can think up ways of serving the pub
lie. Likewise an enterprlsing public
can think up ways of enlarging and bet
terlng the library.

He was not of the royal blood.
He did not seem to know his worth,
But In our common brotherhood
He was a hero of the earth.
God gave him grace to work and walt
And strength and patience to endure
And faith and hope which. soon or late,
A crown of triumph would insure.
He looked not to the heights for fame
Nor walked where wild ambition leads
Content on earth to wreathe his name
With kind and helpful little deeds
The world seemed brighter for his smile,
And hearts were glad to have him near
Broadening life's nobler scope the while
He moved within his humble sphere.

still enjoys his cigar. The fact can be
used as an argument both by those

that It heightened his years despite the

Sues For Division

John Brennan, Superior attorney
and mining man, is plaintiff in an
action which came to trial before
Judge Dancer in district court
Tuesday in which division of a
mining property on this range is
sought. In case a partition of the
property among the several owners
cannot be without prejudice to the
rights of all concerned, he asks that
the mine be sold and proceeds dis
tributed.
The property is described as lots
and 4, section 8, 61-15 and is
known as the Roy claim. It is
claimed that it is underlaid with a
rich body of ore worth upwards of
5000, 900. The action is brought by
Mr.. Brennan against the other
owners.
The following are named as de-
fendents: ]. B. Dow. J. M. Vale,
John Jenswood, Joseph Roy, T. J.
Walsh and A. L. Arpin. The
wives of each are also included in
the list. Mr.. Brennan asserts that
his interest is the fee of 1866 per
cent.
In the separate answer of defend
ants, J. B. Dow and J. M. Vale, an
objection is raised to division of
the property. 1t is claimed that
the property is now involved in
another lawsuit in which certain of
the owners are attempting to enforce
development of the mine in accord
ance with provisions of chapter 1T,
laws of 1907.

ELY is today indulging in safe
and sane Fourth. There are
several reasons for this. The most
potent one is that those who here

putting in their time and money to
instill a little patriotism into the
minds of Our citizens and inciden-
tally swell the Golfers of few of
those who reap a harvest on the
National day, have cold feet and
decided to let it alone for change
and see how it worked. Then
again one of the wet goods mer-
chants informed the editor of the
Miner that as the city officials had
seen fit to close up the saloons ac-
cording to the law of the land, the
saloon would not donate towards a
celebration and thus patriotism
could go to the demnition bow
vows. If fellow wishes to bite
off his own nose, we'll and good, go
to it. 1t was like pulling teeth to
get dollar or two from some of
these fellows anyway and the men
who have heretofore been selected
to get the money have an elegant
suficiency. We know of a COM
mittee that collected for the Fourth
and during one day secured 500
and in that time spent $23 of their
own money. The saloon man who
magnanimously donated So that
year reported receipts on the Fourth
of $3.50. 1t will be different today.
