PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
As children insist upon being told true
stories so their elders prefer te hear
about events that actually happened
Tho requisites of greatness in all imita
tive work is that it shall resemble as
nearly as may bo tho original A paint
ing is famous when it is a faithful pro
duction A statue is noted when the
model is recognizable in the marble A
book is great when the author records
what he Eees as ho sees it
However immature our minds how
ever inexperienced wo may be wo
are able to distinguish this merit
if it exists Whatever other faults the
result of a mans labor has let it not
lack this ono element Let it be as im
perfect as it may in other respects if it
be realism then it is the work of gonius
Nothing is more difficult in writing
than to describe accurately The books
that have tho quality of accuracy are
few and among the output today it is
rare to find a volume that meets the re
quirements Ono of the more recent
productions that is quite satisfactory is
Tho Log of a Cowboy by Andy Adams
Itis an account of a cattlo drive made
in the summer of 1882 from the Mexican
border to the Blackfoot Indian Reserva
tion in Montana The author makes no
pretentions tov literary perfection but
tho story is good and wholesome and
breathes of the freedom and of the in
effable charm of the prairies The book
is of especial interest to us of this west
ern region for tho reason that we at
least those of us who have lived here
longest are not wholly unfamiliar with
the life of which it tells The herd pass
ed not many miles west of here prob
ably not far from Culbertson as that
town is mentioned as having been near
the trail
Fourteen men all told comprised the
party each man had ten horses and
the herd numbered three thousand bead
There was bpsides a chuck wagon
drawn by mules The drive consumed
five months from April to September
and was made through a country which
at that day was unsettled except for
frontier posts and cattle towns scattered
at wide distances along tho trail
Tho tale though simply told touches
in places the very heights or depths
of sentiment It is fascinating because
it is real It is worthy because it is in
tensely human

The Scientific Germ Killer

Cholera
Is a germ disease of the intestines
The cholera bacteria finds its way
into the animal through the drinking
water or filth passing into tho stom
ach and finally down along the intes
tines it sets up fermentation and from
there filters through the blood liver
and other organs
Hog cholera cannot be treated suc
cessfully unless treatment is com
menced before the germ has reached
the period of rapid multiplication If
taken in time it can be cured and in
all cases prevented by tho use of
Jjiquid Koal because it is the only
known germicide that will pass
through tho stomach into the intes
tines and from there into the blood
permeating the whole system and
still retain its germ killing properties
All other so called cholera cures lose
their potency by the acid reaction of
the gastric juices of the stomach
hence have no value
