MOST UNIQUE OF LIBRARIES
That of the Poet, Robert Southey,
Probably Has the Greatest Claim
to Distinction.

The library of Robert Southey, the
English poet, consisted of about $4,000
volumes. That is probably the Iarg-
est number of books ever collected by
a person Of such limited means. His
son writes that many of the books
were in vellum or parchment bindings.
His brother, Thomas Southey, was
skillful letterer; he painted the backs
of the books in some bright color, and
put the title on this colored back
ground in large gold letters of the Old
English type.
Another fancy of the poets was to
have all the books of lesser value,
which had become ragged and dirty,
covered, or rather bound, in colored
cotton prints, for the sake of making
them clean and respectable, since he
could not afford to have so many put
into leather bindings.
His daughters, aided by any female
friend who might be staying with
them, performed that task, and they
bound thus, at different times, some
1,400 volumes They filled one room
completely. and Southey called 1t the
Cottonian library" He took great
pleasure in watching and directing
this work. The ladies would often suit
the pattern to the contents; they
would clothe' Quaker work or book
of sermons in somber drab, poetry ID

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 10
That the democratic administration
cannot make good and the leaders
know it, was the state. ent of former
Congressman Victor l.. Berger, the
first socialist congressman. Berger
predicted the downfall of the demo-
cratic majority in the house within
two years.
mo matter how we'll meaning Pres
ident Wilson or his cabinet may be-
said Berger, the democratic party is
reacticnary, always has been, and al
ways will be. The house is absolute
ly controlled by combination of old
democratic bourbons and Tammany
braves Progressive democrats there
are of the Bryan type, who will pro-
gress backward. In four years the
democratic party will fall to pieces.
After two years it will lose the ma
jcrity in the house.
THE republican party is already
split. If the socialists take advant-
age of their opportunity, see great
possibilities for them in the next
election"

MUST DECIDE ON
SEWER SYSTEM
Action Must be Taken by City
Council Regarding
Bloody Run.
TWENTY FOOT SEWER
Sewer That Would be Adequate to
the Needs Of City Would be About
Twenty Feet in
Diameter.

One of the hardest problems that
has faced the city commissioners IS
before them now in the matter OF ade>
quate sewerage for the south side OF
the city.
Many complaints are being receiv-
ed daily regarding the disposal OF
sewage via Bloody Run and some
means will have to be taken to make
some other disposal of it. Peopfc
living in the neighborhood of Bloody
Run, are referring to it as the Keo-
lluk "Bubbly Creek, and declare that
there must be some action taken to
keep the waste of the portion of the
city south of Bank street from, being
conducted in the open, past their res
licences.
The only method by which the con
dition can be remedies, according to
the commissioners, is by building a
big sewer in the creek bed and run.
ming direct into the .ver. This would
cost the city about 100000, sum
greatly in excess of any, that could
be devoted to the purpose.
Mayor Elder declared this morning
that the raising of such sum was
out of the question at present ano
said that he could offer no solution
for the problem.
Commissioner Gray said that he
had prepared no figures In the matte.
but thought that it would take i,
sewer about twenty feet in diameter
to care for that part of the city. A
sewer of that size would care for the
city as it is now and as it would be

materializes. The cost would be be.
tween 100000 and 100000
Mr., Gray declared that the only so.
linton to the condition was to encase
Bloody Run in the big sewer. The
small sewer which now carries the
sewage from Reds addition, Mason's
lower addition, Kilbourne's addition
and as far north as Bank street. emp
ties directly into the creek and in
many places has, for a time stopped
the flow of water until it has backed
up sufficiently carry l. on ON,

ed for great de.l Of the sickness in
that part of the city.
Several citizens of West Keokul;
have declared hat they will take the
mater up with the state health de-
partment and 18th Attorney-genera,
Cosson unless the city council takes
some means to cover the creek, but
as yet no action has been taken. Tho
commissioners are all heartily in
favor of the proposed new sewer but
say hat the present state of finances
in the city preclude any action in the
matter.

We call attention to a few OF the
points that are often overlooked when
selecting school to attend.
TYPEWRITING is one of the most
important parts Of business education
Most schools have different makes of
typewriters in their school rooms. but
the Tyler Commercial College Of Tyler,
Texas, is the only school in this part of
the country that has the different
makes of machines and teaches each
and every student to operate accurate.
ly. by the touch method, the different
make of machine; therefore. 1t Is very
necessary that he learn to operate with
speed and accuracy all the standard
makes of machines.
SYSTEM OF SHORTHAND: Most
schools teach the old Pitmanic systems
which were put out in 1892. The Tyler
Commercial College teaches the famous
Byrne Simphfed, which is modern
system that produces greater speed
than any other system and In less than
half the time required by any other
system OF shorthand now in use,
SYSTEMS OF BOOKKEEPING: Most
schools teach a theory course: the
student reads about what some one
else has done, and posts UP his work
theoretically. The students of the
Tyler Commercial College have to trans.
act every item of business for which
they make an entry; they learn to do by
doing; they buy and sell goods, write
up deeds, mortgages. drafts and all
KINDS OF commercial papers, ship goods
just as they would in actual business
life. They not only learn a thorough
course OF Bookkeeping, but they obtain
a practical business training as well;
this business training is worth as much
10 them as d course of bookkeeping
Bookkeeping thru practical business
transactions is much easier learned
and the student gets both the book
keeping along by the theory method
used In other schools.
