PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
This column is not reserved by the publisher
for tho purposo of giving tho editor of theso
notes an opportunity to exploit his personal
views and it is far from tho editors desiro to
abuse tho privilege that is so frequently extend
ed Moreover ho would bo wanting in common
honesty wero he to undertake to defend himself
for having given utterance to assertions thaton
subsequent reflection or investigation ho be
lieved to bo erroneous And while it may bo
presumptious for him to enter tho lists on be
half of Miss Cathcr whoso little story A Wagner
Matinee was mentioned in last weeks notes it
may not be out of place for him to say what ho
truoly boliovesthat the criticisms of Miss Cath
ers story which are rife are not justified and
that to him her sketch seems to be a bit of
realism
Tho writer admits that his experience as a
farmer is limited and that his opportunities
for observing the existence of men and women
on tho farm have been circumscribed yet ho
may bo permitted to say that it has always
seemed to him that tho lives led by members of
rural communities aro strenuous in tho extreme
that tho real hero in this age of peaceful
pursuits is tho farmer and that the real hero
ine is tho farmers wife It is doubtless truo
that life on tho farm has its compensations but
it cannot be denied that it is replete with hard
ships and privations Look at the men and tho
women who como in from the farm and say if
their work is not wearing if it does not ago
tho doers before their time Tho frames of tho
men are warried and bent at a time of life when
mens bodies should bo in perfect physical con
dition And as for tho women their poor knot
ted fingers and wrinkled faces tell heart-rending
tales of woe One need not have seenthem
at it to know that they have worked Harder
than they should
But reject tho circumstantial evidence Go
to tho farms and see them toil Iu the summer
they are up at four oclock and from then until
long after nightfall they have no idle moments
Tho women have more than their household
duties to perform Part of the outside work
falls on them as well They have their chick
ens to care for and large part of the gardening
to do as well Even the milking thoy do and
tho feeding of the calves and pigs Sometimes
tho rougher farm work such as helping to feed
tho stock plowing and planting tho women aid
in tho doing of and at harvest it is the rule
rather than tho exception for them to take their
places in tho grain fields and to do tho work of
men Such at least is the tale of one woman
whoso story written by herself it was the
writers painful privilege to read with addi
tion of such harrowing details as the doing of
the family washing and ironing by lamp light
after tho other members of tho farmstead had
gone to their roposo for the night
It is to bo hoped and it is believed that such
cases aro not numerous but at best the farmers
days are all too full of work all too free from
recreation and pleasure The pioneers tell
even of starving times when the frightfully ser
ious question of where tho next meal was to
come from presented itself Not one but many
who aro now living in comfort if not aflluence
suffered this experience Conditionsvare chang
ed Life on the farm is better in many ways
than it was a quarter of a century or even a de
cade ago but if tho testimony of those who
should know may be accepted the life is not
without its disadvantages still It may even
seem harder to one who like Miss Cathers her
oine was reared among different surroundings
than those with which we are farailar
Miss Cather by tho way is not unknown in
McCook which it seems sho has visited on
more than one occasion Her home was in Web
ster county where her parents still reside She
writes that her story has no local bearing and
that sho selected the name of our county for
its picturesquoness
A Startling Test
