SOME REASONS FOR HAVING A
EREK l'UIJLIO LIBRARY.
Tho public libraries have without
delay become an essential part of a
public education system and are as
clearly useful as tho public schools.
They arc not only classed with
schools, but have generally become
Influential adjuncts of tho public
schools. Tho number of readers is j
rapidly Increasing, and tho character
of tho books is constantly improving.
Not Infrequently tho objection Is
heard that the public libraries are
opening the doors to light and use
less books; that reading can be, and
often is, carried to a vicious and
enervating excess, and therefore that
the libraries' Influence is doubtful
and on tho whole not good. This
argument doe3 not need elaborate
exposure.
The main purpose of tho library
Is to counteract arid check the cir
culation and influence of tho empty
and not infrequently vicious books
that are so rife. A visit to any news
stand will disclose a world of low
and demoralizing "penny dreadfuls"
and other trash. These aro bought
by boys and girls because they want
to read, and can nowhere else be ob
tain reading material. This deluge
of worthless periodicals and books
can be counteracted only by gra
tuitous supplies from tho public
library.
Whether these counteracting books
bo Action or lot, they may bo puro
and harmless, and often of Intel
toctual merit and moral excellence.
Tho question is not whether people
shall read Action for read it they
will but whether they aro to have
good Action instead of worthless and
harmful trash.
Tho tendency to read Inferior
books can soon bo checked by a good
library. If tho attention of tho
children In school is directed to good
books, and the free library con
tains such books, there will bo no
thought of tho cheap news-stand as
the placo for finding reading matter.
Tho economical reason for estab
lishing free public libraries is tho
fact that public ofllcors and public
taxation manago and support thorn
efficiently, and mako them available
to tho largest number of readors.
By means of a free library thero is
tho best utilization of effort and of
rosources at a small cost to in
indlvlilunls. While a privato library may great
ly delight and improvo tho owner nnd
his immedlato circle of friends, it is
a luxury to which ho and they only
can resort.
Tho books of a public library ac
tively porvado tho community; they
ronch nnd aro Influential with very
largo numbers and tho utility of tho
common possession books Is mul
tiplied without limit.
LET VS "DO IT."
A Now York city, Rochester by
namo, has a Chamber of Commerco
which has boon working for that city
for years under tho slogan of "Do It
for Rochester."
Evory advertising pamphlet, every
business lotterhead Of its enterprising
citizons, kept ono thing before tho
,.ple "Do It for Rochester." In
t' long run It had a splondld cneci
and kept peoplo keyed up to work
f' a better city, besides lotting out
sldo folks know tho city was alivo

uring city, hut hoauty and business

until parks, homos, streets and busi

The Fall of the Giant.
In tho valley by the mountain
Stands the giant forest tree,
O'er each rival tree top towering,
Peering out upon the sea.

In the air so tall, m
Straight, great and lordly,
Reigning over all.
Ever upward bravely reaching
Through tho tempest and the swell
But his height shall feel the furies
And tho winds shall sound his

Long, straight and often
Blows the fateful blast,
Old, bold and sullen
Death will come at last.
Harken now the wind is bugling
Come ye warriors of storm,
Plash thou, lightning, firo and vol
ley, See the giant lash his arms,
Bend, rend and quiver,
Bow to thunder's peal.
Shock, rock and swivel,
See that proud head reel.
Lo, the giant torn and tattered
Dancing to the wind's mad call,
Meekly bowing, backward bending
"While his dismal dirges fall.

Far tho echoes go;
Crash, slash and rumble,
Smote tho earth a blow.

Can't say that winter's backbone is

There is a girl on Coos Bay so
modest that she will not wear un

No Coos Bay gentleman will kiss a
girl against her will her lips are
much sweeter.

"Everybody loves our baby," sings

"Tho wise virgin will throw away

version, according to Otho Hopson.
Seymour Bell says that at his elec
tric light plant they do not sell cur
rents by the bushel, but by the shock.
C. J. Mahonoy says tho greatest shock
is when you get tho bill.

An eastern magazine asked young
women to send a description of what
their ideal man would bo like one
they would bo willing to accept as a
lifo partner. Ono girl, probably with
out much experience, but knowing
what sho wanted, said "ho" must
havo tho form and feature of an
Apollo Belvidero, tho graco and po
liteness of tho old Grecian, tho virtue
of Joseph, tho financial ability of a
Homer, the manners of a Chcsterlleld
and tho patience of a Job." There
aro several men on Coos Bay who
feol that this girl certainly had them
in mind when sho wroto that.
