What Books Shall We Read
There is no reading more wholesome
within temperate bounds than tho
novel Inclination is a guide to follow
in rending ns in other pursuits with
extromest caution and there is one
favorite direction in which wo can never
trust it safely that is down the smooth
way of indolent amusement
There is a high region in all depart
ments of literature which every reader
who cares to make tho most of himself
and tho best of lifo ought to penetrate
and become in some measure acquainted
with whatever his porsonal leanings
may be It is tho region of the great
and good books
The literature that is weighted with
the fruits of tho genius of Thackeray
Dickens Geo Eliot Scott Hawthorne
and Defoe is a great instrument of
pleasure as well as education To be
put into companionship with Adam
Bode to look on Saxon England with
the imagination of Kingeley on eight
eenth century England with the sym
pathetic understanding of Thackeray
on Puritan Massachusetts with Haw
thorne is to enlarge the little region of
our personal horizon with acquaintance
of characters and places worth while
Among the historical works if you
would comprehend modern history you
should read Gibbons Decline and Fall
of the Roman Empire Though it is
old nothing supersedes it
Parkmans splendid work on the
French in America is interestingly
written
Our chief dependence is on books to
bring us into intercourse with picked
choice examples of human kind Plut
archs Lives are studies of great char
acters of antiquity and models to this
day of their kind Exceptionally in
teresting and wholesome for boys is
the Life of Engineers by Smiles
These and many others you will find
in the public library shelves

Stephen D Bolles Jr for Sheriff
The friends of Stephen D Bolles Jr
of Box Elder are earnestly and enthus
iastically urging him for nomination on
the republican ticket for the office of
county sheriff Steve has spent all of
his life in Red Willow county and is
well known to all as a conscientious and
and capable young man who would
give a good account of himself in that
office He presents his case for the
careful consideration of the voters of
the county
How a Flea Jumps
It is said that a flea leaps 200 times
its height and while It usually does
land on its feet it often fails especial
ly when it falls on a perfectly smooth
surface where the claws can get only
a slight hold A flea has sis legs
whose great length and bulk make
them so heavy that they must be a
great help In keeping their owner right
side up when it makes one of those
gigantic jumps and when It lands up
side down or in some other way its
ability to kick is so great that not more
than one wriggle is needed to set things
right A fleas wings are mere scales
ond of no use But small and worth
less as they are they tell the entomolo
gist something about the proper classi
fication of the insect To the flea itself
they have no value St Nicholas
Polishing Small Articles
It is said that a high polish may be
obtained after nickel plating on small
steel articles such as screws by tum
bling them with leather and dry rouge
The articles are placed in a tumbling
barrel with leather scraps Some dry
rouge is put into the barrel along with
tho screws and leather and the whole
tumbled for some time The rouge
coats the surface of the leather and
causes it to act like a polishing wheel
Canvas scraps may be used in place of
leather
