Burlington Signs B of L E Contract
ChicagoNov16 The management of
the Burlington railroad after seventeen
years of opposition has recognized the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and has signed the first wage schedule
of the organization since the strike of
1888 Heretofore all wage schedules for
the engineers of the Burlington have
been promulgated over the signatures of
the railroads managers the brother
hood having no option in the matter of
acceptance This time the schedule
was signed by the officers and by the
members of the general committee of
the brotherhood after a three weeks
conference
The hostility of the Burlington road to
the brotherhood was the result of the
engineers strike of 1888 when 1400
men deserted their engines Paul Mor
ton then in the Burlingtons service
had charge of the strike for the railroad
and won the most stubborn battle in the
history of the brotherhood

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
This isi what a citizen of McCook says
about James Fenimore Cooper and Sir
Walter Scott whose books mav be found
on the shelves of the McCook public
library
Cooper James Fenimore was born at
Burlington New Jersey September 15
1789 D 1851 in a wild and unsettled
part of the country near lake Otsego
His father judge and member of con
gress seut him to Yale College at thir
teen years At sixteen he joined the
navylater entered merchantman service
as a lieutenant At 21 years of age he
resigned from the service and married
and settled at Westchester New York
In 1819 he published his first book
Precaution of - the Fashionable
SCbTobl He met favor from the first
abd is a favorite today
Cooper is the great American novelist
He has been styled the Scott of Amer
ica His 33 volumes are all good but
some very good The Last of the Mo
hicans The Pilot rThe Red Rover-
er The Sea Lions The Ways of
the Hour are pleasing thrilling en
chanting His works are translated in
to all the languages of Europe and are
read by all classes of people
Most of his novels are founded on some
fact He traveled much saw much and
observed well In his stories he tells us
all he saw and more His dialect
when used is fascinating His descrip
tion especially in the sea fight in The
Pilot is thrilling Cooper is a New
York yankee and American in every
fibre Read him laugh with him weep
with him hurrah with him
Scott Sir Walter was born at Edin
burgh Scotland August 15 1771 and
died September 21 1832 His father
was an attornev and his mother was a
lady of culture Both were descended
from the Border Lairds of whom he
sings so beautifully On account of
poor health he was perhaps ten years
old when he entered school but at six
years of age he was a voracious reader
of story and romance He learned
privately French Spanish Italian and
German that he might read their stories
and enjoy their pleasures In his works
he has given us the honey of their ro
mances His father would make a law
yer of him To this end the boy studied
hard but he would read history and
stories listen to stories and tell the
best of stories himself He learned
Italian simply to read Dante At about
thirty years of age he began to write
his stories for publication In 1805 his
first great work appeared The Lay of
the Last Minstrel It took the read
ing world by surprise a new star had
arisen in letters Everybody read The
Lay as everybody reads it today In
1808 Marmion appeared The people
simply went Scott mad They had
never heard anything like it For the
following twenty years he told the stories
in poetry novel and romance that have
made millions of hearts glad His char
acters are all alive and real so live and
real that wo actually see them live
with them and speak with them His
descriptions and dialogue all carry you
away to ulitne ana Donny Scotland
Scott has written more I believe of any
English writer at least more good that
will never die while the English language
lives Read especially his WaverlyRed
Gauntlet Ivanhoe Count Robert of
Paris and The Tales of a Grandfather
and you will never die young
