The Omaha Public Library.
OMAHA, June Ito the Editor OF The
Bee: May blessings rest upon the head
OF Cadmus. the Phoenicians. or whoever
It was that invented books" This trib-
ute. which comes from the Niagara Falls
Of literature, Thomas Carlyle, came to
tho writer's mind as he looked upon the
Omaha Public library. The outside of
the building IL adorned with the names
OF men Of letters who make up the Val
halla of printed thoughts In front, and
high up near the roof, are busts OF De-
mosthenes, Aristotle, Socrates. sopho-
cles, Homer, Cicero, Caesar and Virgil.
The windows are named in honor OF
men whose works have enlightened the
mind: Schiller. Goethe, Dante, Chaucer,
Shakespeare, Milton, Tasso. Racine and
Corneille. On the side of this temple
Of Minerva are busts of Horace Plato,
Seneca, Herodotus and Piutarch: while
the windows recall Americas contribu-
ton TO literature: LongfeIlow, Haw-
thoFne. Emerson and Irving.
As young man, Upon beholding a
maiden, instantly concludes that what
ever is delicate lie delicious, so the
writer. after viewing the Omaha Library
building, decided TO go inside and taste
whatever mental wares It might offer.
And, as a result, he found a new friend.
So you. Socrates. put on your shoes and
stockings; you, Dante, leave Beatrice and
the profundities and stand at attention:
you, DR.. Samuel johnson, stop brow
beating your comrades; you, Alexander
Pope. leave off your fastidious. perfumed
couplets; you, Thomas Carlyle. o,3it yop-
celestial knocking" and your rocking the
earth with your spiked ideas, rugged and
grand; you, Longfeliow, leave EvanRelina
to her sad. soul-melting fate; YOU. Plato.
leave off translating for us mortals tba
sympathy of the spheres: you. Sweden
borg, cease telling of the subIimitiez of
the Christian heaven: all OF you stand at
attention while Emerson extends the
right hand Of fellowship to Pascal
Mediocrity would have us believe that
inspiration lie merely a subiimated i'm
pulse. BUT instead OF this "damnine

MEXICAN YOUTH
 ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

GLOBE. Ariz.. Sept. l.-While out hunting Sunday afternoon. Salvador Yeberra. a Mexican youth about four teen years of age. was shot in the right arm by the accidental dischaage of a l2-gauge shotgun in the hands of Louis Depolio, lad of the same age.
 Louis Depol,o had gone out in the morning with his father to some mining claims on which his father has lease. about fifteen miles from the city. In the fore part of the afternoon the lad started for home horseback, carrying a shotgun. When about three miles from the city, al a point or the railroad tra cks, near the old Keystone saloon. the youth was hailed by Salvador Ye- barra and a companion named Manuel Chavez who were out hunting
 All three boys sat down on some rocks and after talking awhile fell 10 discussing the respective merits of their guns Louis had opened his gun 10 ex- tract a cartridge when Salvador Ye- berra, who had risen and walked of about ten feet suddenly cried. "There comes three dovesr" Depolio snapped his gun together, which at the same Iu- stant exploded. the full force of the charge striking Yeberrs in the arm. blowing him of his feet. Stunned. ths lad slowly regained his footing and reached down for his hat before he re- alized he was wounded, but his numbed faculties then did not grasp the seriou S. ness of his condition.
 Upon examination it was found that the lads arm above the elbow was lit- orally blown to ribbons and that ampu taIion must be resorted 10 if the boys life was 10 be saved.
 As result of the accident. ;he su- thorities intend to adopt drastic meas ures 10 put stop to he promiscuous uss of guns by small boys. especially where the lads are accustomed to hunt near farmhouses and public roads. as has become the custom of late.
