not for entertainment OF an audience,
nor to display an accomplishment, but
because they enjoyed 1t. There is
little singing Of that kind now. Most
people do not sing at all. The few
who do are expected to do 1t with
some flourish, and while one person
sings the others are expected to listen.
or at least to talk only in . subdued
tone. We have abandoned the prac-
tice Of what may be called company
singing. and in doing so have aban-
doned q good thing.
In the same way we have abandon
ed . reading practice which was at
one time a conspicuous feature Of
family and even of neighborhood life.
Some a age reading matter was
less plentiful than 1t is now. The
weekly newspaper and the new book
were quite likely to go the rounds of
an entire neighborhood and little Of
their contents escaped careful perusal.
The new book or the paper has been
the center of many a picture of DOM
este peace. The supper things are
cleared awaw, crumbs are swept up
and the room Is set in order. Grand
ma gets out her knitting, mother and
the girls busy themselves; perhaps
the darning of socks and the meEd ding
of clothes, perhaps with the pairing
of apples to be hung in festoon to
dry. Father may have had a harness
to mend, or he may have sat back in
content with his pipe. One Of the FAM
lily selected a. the reader for the ev-
ening, got out the book, and no mind
can eve grasp the influence which
reading under those circumstances has
had on the formation of the character
Of American people.
We do not read in that way n
longer. We read silently, omnivor-
ously. and c%ursorily. We read. and
forget. Our fathers read and we're
informed. We have lost the art of
reading as they did.
For the singing and the reading
of the old days we have substituted
other things. In what ways are they
better, and III what ways are they
worse.

EXTENDS CITY LIMITS
Council Takes Action And Will Put
1t Up To Voters.

OSkalOoSa will extend her CorpOr-
ate limits, if the voters of the city
and the section to be incorporated in
the extension vote in the affirmative.
Resolution to extend the north cor
porate line of the city, passed the
council at a special meeting held
Monday evening.
The proposed extension is a strip
three hundred feet wide east and
west lying north OF the present cor
porate line and east of Market street,
extending as far north as the north
line of the Penn College addition to
the city of OskalOOsa.
When and how this election is to
be held was a problem, the solution
of which was postponed till Friday
evening this week for another session.
II possible the city desired to join
issues with the Oskaloosa Home Tel
ephone company, which will hold an
election on it's franchise. But the
submission OF a franchise in one sort
of an election and the vote on a reso-
ton of city limits extension is an
other sort of an election. The fran
chise vote requires all the polling
places as usual in a regular election
while the vote on the limits extern
sion is said to require but one set
Of judges and clerks and one polling
place.
Pending further investigation the
setting OF date of election was de
ferred until Friday.

dressed by DR.. Morgan, the cash in
his lead requiring several stitches.
No charge was preferred against Barr.
