PENNSYLVANIA TRAVELLING LIBRARIES

There was time, not very remote when the
small towns and villages found it difficult to keep
abreast of the times through the medium Of litera-
ture There were few reading rooms, few public
libraries and few clubs for social and intellectual
Improvement. The desire for good reading existed
in many minds but there seemed to be little oppor-
tunity for gratifying this normal craving

in Pennsylvania. The small towns now can obtain
the best that there is in volumes travel, history
and fiction and in children s books. All that they
need to do is to comply with few simple require
ments and the resources of Pennsylvania magnif-
cent State Library at their command.
All that it costs any rural community to
obtain one of the travelling Libraries of the state
is the mere expense of packing and shipping. Under
Thomas Lynch Montgomery, State Librarian, the
travelling library idea has been most effectively de-
veloped To-day it is potent factor in the intel
ectua life of the small towns of this common
wealth.
Hundreds of letters testify to the practical good
achieved in this way People of all ages and of all
natonaties taking hold of the travelling library
idea. Does group of young persons in the north
part of the state desire to study into the condi
tions of some of the nations at war; The books
will be shipped to them and if the readers desire,
some extra volumes fiction, biography other
subjects will be added Little reading circles and
study clubs are forming throughout the state, and
the travelling library is opening vista before
the weary people who fancied that such opportuni-
ties could only be accorded to those dwelling in
large cities.
The travelling library has to stay. Penn
sylvania can be proud of taking the initiative in
this matter. Whatever provides clean home enter
tainment, intellectual food and proper social inter
course in any village is mighty force for good.
Other states are writing here for information on
this subject and other commonwealth are adopt

ARABELLA AND SALLY ANN

ARABELLA AND SALLY ANN
Arabella school girl,
So was Sally Ann.
Hasty pudding can't be thicker
Than two school girls can
These thick as school girls can be,
Deathess love they swore
Vowed that naught earth should part them
One forever more.
They grew up, as school girls will do.
Went to parties too,
And as oft before had happened,
Suitors came to WOO.
But as fate or luck would have it.
One misguided man
Favored blueeyed Arabella
More than Sally Ann.
And, of course, it made no difference
That the laws are such
That he could not wed two women,
Though they wished it much
So a GOODNESS between them,
And the man.
Cold Arabella-very
Colder Sally Ann.
Now they call each other creatures"
What is still sad
Bella, though she won the treasure,
Wishes Sally had. -Exchauge

"'The Blue-Eyed Six" Murder

This sort of thing whent on for some
time and the instigators of it became so
embroidered that they even succeeded in
killing legislation designed to put a
stop to it. The storm broke, however,
when six men in Lebanon county pooled
their money and took out a policy on
an old man living in the vicinity of
Gold Springs, the old man knowing
nothing whatever of it, and then the
gang decoyed him to an out-of -the-way
place and killed him. Then they had
the nerve to endeavor to collect the in
surance on their victim. officers of the
law. however, got wind of the affair and
arrested the gang. They were tried in
Lebanon and convicted, four of them
hanged and. one sent to the penitenrtiary
and one acquitted. That broke up
"death4bed insurance in PENNSYLVANIA.
The story of The Blue-eyed Six mur-
DER shocked the entire State, and the
Legislature passed measures to prevent
chat kind of insurance.
