PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
Looking toward a larger usefulness
the library board invited the superin
tendent and teachers of the public
schools to meet with them last Monday
evening to spend a social hour and dis
cuss plans for co operation between the
school and the library
Mrs George Willetts is chairman of
a committee for establishing a story
hour and associated with her on the
committee are Rev Father Kirwin and
Row Mr Earle
On Monday evening Father Kirwin
gave a very interesting paper and talk
introducing the proposed plans of the
library board and the superintendent
and the teachers were most kindly re
sponsive in volunteering to help in the
good work all agreeing that the young
mind needs friendly guidance in devel
oping a reading taste
It is proposed to institute a story
hour for the purpose of entertaining
instructing and helping our young peo
ple to a love for what is good in litera
ture Wishing them to appreciate the
fact that books that are worth while
are not dull and uninteresting nor too
deep for their comprehension the story 1

ABSOLUTE FIENDISH
From the Presbyterian Banner of
December 30 1896 published in Pitts
burgh Pa we clip the following given
as the words of an officer of the Liquor
League of Ohio at a meeting in which
the interests of the saloon business were
being discussed
It will appear from these facts
gentlemen that the success of our busi
ness is dependent largely upon the cre
ation of appetite for drink Men who
drink liquor like others will die and if
there is no new appetite created our
counters will be empty as will be our
coffers Our children will go hungry
or we must change our business to that
of some other more remunerative
The open field for the creation of
this appetite is among the boys After
men have grown and their habits are
formed they rarely ever change in
this regard It will be needful there
fore that missionary work be done
among the boys and I make the sugges
tion gentlemen that nickels expended
in treats to the boys will return in
dollars to your tills after the appetite
has been formed Above all things
create appetite
Such a statement seems absolutely
fiendish and yet whether spoken or
unspoken the fact remains that the
traffic exists only by recruits from
among the boys Wanted a hundred
thousand boys muse be the constant
motto of this infamous business that a
few may grow rich and their children
live in luxury while their patrons go
down to the lowest depths of degrada
tion and powerty
Such a frank statement ought to
arouse parents to take the proper steps
to protect their children from a- Moloch
besides whom the ancient minotaur of
Crete who fed on young men and
maidens from Athens was a patron
saint
The above editorial paragraph ap
peared in the Union Signal of January
28 1897 The incident therein related
has been substantiated and we desire to
hold it before the public and especially
befoie the fathers until they pass judg
ment upon the saloon business Do
you stand for your boys or for the
saloon
hour will be devoted to the cultivation
of a love for the writings of the master
minde
Miss Sadie Sweeney of the west
school consented to take charge of the
first meeting which will be held in the
lower reading room of tne library on
Saturday afternoon Oct 17 at three
oclock
About fifty new folding chairs have
been placed in the room and all who
are promoting the work are anticipating
that the story hour will become very
popular furnishing delightful after
noons for those who avail themselves
of the privilege
While it is to be in no sense a school
yet it is proposed to make this weekly
gathering complementary to the school
It is a commendable project in its
inception and there is every reason to
believe it is in the handp of those who
will insure its success from the be

A LOOK FORWARD I
The following response to a toast4
A Look Forward was delivered at j
the McCook Commercial club banquet i
and smoker last week and Is here
printed by request
One cannot even look with retro
spective eye over the span of 25 years
In the life of a wide awake western
community without mingled emotions
So I tonight gaze at the McCook of
today and in my minds eye recall
topic take a glimpse into the future
the unknown alluring future with
sensations not single hut many and
conflicting
When a little more than a quarter
century since I arrived in McCcok
this community was but a big family
in size a hundred or two in popula
tion with none of the airs of a city
or the frills of a town A big family
with all its hopes and fears its coni
raderie and close friendship in which
Aleck and George and Tom and Char
lie and other familiar names even now
in hallowed remembrance were the
names on tongue most freely and fa
miliarly Our business and social
lodge and church life were on free and
familiar lines as well Our joys and
sorrows ambitions successes and
failures had an intimate and personal
color now unknown and unielt tv I un
sympathized with As one ci lie old
guard whether I shall live here long
or little I shall alway and ever hold
in tenderest recollection those days of
beginnings in city government in so
cial affairs in church building in fam
ily life in which I had a humble part
as the first records will disclose
Then again I see another vision
The inpour of settlement the expand
ing of the city the building of castles
in the air but withal the growth be
yond the wildest dreams of the early
settlers a bright cloud with but the
brief eclipse of failure years But
when the clouds had rolled away we
found the resultant regnant McCook
of today the McCook more familiar to
most of those here with us tonight
McCook with its 5000 people its pub
lic buildings business blocks and
private homes its water works sewer
system electric and gas plants tele
phone system its great and growing
railroad plant its churches its schools
and best of all its citizens for Mc
Cooks best and first asset is its citi
zenship may it grow larger and great
er and better
And this brings me to my text
The Future Watchman What if
the Night has been a question since
the morning stars first sang together
And it is a live question today What
of the morrow Viewed from the
standpoint of 25 years ago the ques
tion loomed up ominously Optimists
were not so numerous then Answer
ed with such splendid evidences of ac
complishment before us as the present
McCook offers the task is easier still
not definite for it is not beyond pos
sibilities and probabilities not above
the faith of some here that less than
another quarter century will see a Mc
Cook of twice or more its present size
with all that means in business life in
culture in every particular of a mod
ern and up-to-date city of energy and
go In this prospect I would enumer
ate A 100000 federal building 50
000 temple theatre a normal school
adequate in facilities and equipment
a hospital Y M C A building paved
streets in business section larger and
more modern business blocks hand
somer and cosier modern residences
enlarged park facilities daily news
papers new and modern railroad
shops an adequate headquarters build
ing and depot department stores
wholesale businesses two or three
new 100 room modern hotels etc
These I esteem but the natural and
reasonably-to-be-expected prospects
Those of you who are more given to
fanciful flights might add largely to
this list But whatever your bent and
mold of mind I believe you will con
clude with me in the light of what
has been accomplished that a future
within the limits of my statement are
not only possibilities but even more
than probabilities
I do not prophesy this all or any
save on the basis of wise intelligent
persistent and harmonius effort and
to this end gentlemen business men
professional men and you all who are
interested in the growth and develop
ment and progress of McCook along
all worthy lines are asked and urged
to most heartily and energetically co
operate with this club which has done
some things ought to do more and
can Jiring to pass unbelievable things
with your united and earnest effort

HUMBLED THE PRINCESS
Fell of
a Dusky Beauty From
THE BASTILLE
the
South Sa Islands
One night Inlri Sharp William
while a student at Heidelberg Ger
many was Iti attendance upon a nwell
function at which the guest of honor
was a dark skinned princess alleged
to hail from one of the south sen is
lands This princess was magnificent
ly bedecked and bcjeweled and her
I warm olive complexion set off by
Men and Methods In the Famous Old
French Prison
The Bastille as a prison was appar
ently better kept and cleaner than
either Bicetre or the Chatelet and im
prisonment within its walls did not it
would seem dishonor the prisoner or
bis family A gn t many prisoners
were charged as mad and under this
elastic term the violent maniac the
ambitious madman the vouiiir
thrift the megalomaniac the reacher
for the philosophers stone or the se
eret of perpetual motion all these
tiresome persons might be and were
Included
Gow then did these prisoners live
In the underground cells or dungeons
as in the cells in the towers the prison
ers were on bread and water as a rule
In the other rooms in the main build
ing three meals were served a day with
drinkable wine vin potable In cer
tain cases according to the quality
and distinction of the prisoner he
might supplement the meager furni
ture of his prison and get a provision
of books Very favored persons were
allowed their own servant if he would
consent voluntarily to undergo con
finement Voltaire began to write the
Ilenriade as prisoner in the Bastille
Abbe Morellet of the Encyclopedia
speaks of the great fortress as the
cradle of his fame but we must re
member that it was perhaps not ad
visable to say much about the Bastille
when you were still living within Its
walls and that as M Mouin has re
minded us the old Spartans offered
sacrifices to fear Prisoners more
over had to sign on their release an
elaborate declaration bv which thev
swore never to divulge directly or in
directly anything they might have
learned as prisoners concerning the
Bastille Mrs Frederic Harrison in

A Feat For Blcndin
Speaking of the straight and nar
row path said a congressman re
minds me of a story about a man 1
knew in Chicago who stayed very late
at a dinner at the club When he
came out he started to walk in the
middle of the street
Hey John said a friend who met
hun as he was making the best of his
way along the car tracks why dont
you wilk on the sidewalks
Walk on the sidewalks snorted

Get Tired Quick
A farmer hired a hand from town
The first morning the new hand went
to work he accompanied the farmer
into the hay field They put on a load
and hauled it to the barn By the time
i was unloaded it was 9 oclock
Well said the new hand from town
what will we do now What will
we do now roared the farmer Why
well go after another load of hay
In that case said the new hand
from town I will resign

John Sharp was Introduced of

ing a near view of the nrlnenss his
southern instincts rose to the surface
and his southern blood began to boil
Watching his opportunity he managed
to get to the beautys elbow Tlum re

Look here nigger where dM you

she heard the familiar intonation of

Whether John Sharp respeciid the
pitiful plea of a southern negress In a
faraway land and permitted her to
continue her bold Imposition upon the
credulous Germans the story does not
tell But the fact remains thnt the
princess realized tli it she was in the

her African origin and she could only
