helpful institution to the McCook pub
lic than it has ever been before and
that the reading room may always bo a
pleasant and attractive place for young

To keep the library supplied with
books that will meet the needs of all
classes of readers requires much labor
ind careful management and the k n I
ly consideration of the patrons in fie
care of the books and returning the
borrowed ones iu good condition will bi
a much appreciated help
The book you are reading will go to
others Pass it on to them neat and
cbau hoping they will do the same b

There was a Merchant mighty sore
In fact so sore he swore and swore
And kept on swearing more and more
The trouble was that folks instead
Of patronizing him by Ned
Were buying goods by mail he said
One day he got a little hint
On how to make his store a mint
I inoi nope tooK on a rosy tint
He came and ADVERTISED his stock
His store was crowded chuck-a-
block
From seven until six oclock
So now this Merchant swears no more
No longer is he feeling sore
Since ADVERTISING crowds his
store

MOHAMMED
His Visio of Heavon and the Story
if the Mountain
IlalabI the founder of Islam was
boru at Mecca In the year A D 570
He died lime 8 031 at the age of seventy-two
He assumed the titular
name of Mohammed which means ac
cording to some authorities the pre
dicted Messiah
One of the most extravagant rela
tions which can be found In any lan
guage Is credited to Mohammed
Speaking of the sights he beheld when
transported to heaven he says I
saw there an angel the most gigantic
of all created things It had 70000
heads each head had 70000 faces each
face had 70000 mouths each mouth
had 7OC00 tongues and each tongue
spoke 70000 languages All were em
ployed in singing Gods praises
When Mohammed first announced
his divinely inspired and appointed
system the Arabs demanded super
natural proofs of his commission
Moses and Jesus said the Arabs
wrought miracles In the testimony
of their divine authority And if thou
art indeed a prophet of God do so like
wise
It would be tempting God to do so
replied Mohamraqd and bring down
his anger as in the case of Pharaoh
As the story is told in Brewers
Phrase and Fable the Arabs wore
not satisfied with this answer a J
Mohammed then commanded nv jf
the numerous eminences near Me en
to come to him The mountain not
stirring at Mohammeds bidding the
prophet exclaimed God is merciful
Had the mountain obeyed my words It
would have fallen on us to our de
struction

JELLYFISH
In Tropical Waters This Queer Crea
ture Is at Its Best
Few marine animals seem at first
glance to betray less intelligence than
the jellj fish Up with the tide and
down with the tide carried along by
this or that current moving with the
eddy of a backwater hither and thith
er the jellyfish has become almost a
synonym for helplessness Scientifical
ly of course the popular idea of the
jellyfish is wholly mistaken but it is
perhaps only in tropical waters that it
is found in the perfection of intelli
gence In the south Pacific round the
islands of Polynesia and as far south
as the upper portion of the North is
land of New Zealand there is a jelly
fish that not onlj knows where it
wants to go but is even provided with
a sail which it can and does hoist or
lower at will The sail like the rest
of this curious animal is almost trans
parent but unlike the body of the
fish which is of the usual gelatinous
construction the sail is a membrane
almost as hard as shell ltouud about
the Ellice group the navigating fish is
often found with a sail measuring five
inches across and it navigates the
shallow island waters with the skill of
a pilot steering in and out of snaggy
places and avoiding obstructions both
above and below the surface with un
erring skill Like its cousins in home
waters this navigating jellyfish has
the power of stinging its natural ene
mies and its sting is fatal to other
fish and dangerous to man London

An Unpleasant Visitor
A frightful shape loomed up before
the nearsighted eyes of the frightened
professor It was of heroic size it
stooped a little its arms were unusu
ally long its forehead was retreating
and its feet were bare and very broad
You have taken great liberties with
me said the shape You refer to me
on every possible occasion ascribing
to me characteristics of which I know
nothing You have a reprehensible
way of shifting to my shoulders a
great many problems that are too
much for your limited mind to grasp
Come now what do you mean by it
Ive never seen you before stam
mered the professor Who are you
The shape haughtily drew itself up
I am the primitive man it cried in
a terrible voice
And the professor is understood to be
running yet Cleveland Plain Dealer
Laying a Ghost
This ghost story was among those
omitted from Mr Steads famous col
lection There was an ordinary cup
board door that always mysteriously
creaked open at five minutes before
midnight unless it was kept locked
and when it was kept locked it groan

Humor at
In Other Days Wilh WIntr
the fumous dramatrj critic tells inw
he and Joseph Jefferson were timing
the pallbearers at McCulloujrh8 fu
neral As our melancholy train was
halted In a Philadelphia street sayj
Mr Winter he glanced along the lino
and gravely remarked I never knew
before that there were so many walk
ing gentlemen In my professi hi
Another quaint anecdote which he
tells with reference to a melair holy
occasion Is this one on the burial of
John Brougham
Edwin Booth and I assisted to bear
his pall I remember that the two
gravediggers after they had lowered
his coffin a little way into the grave
were constrained with many muttered
exclamations of Alse her and Itaise
her to lift It up again in order
to enlarge the cavity Booth and I
like Hamlet and noratio were stand
ing under a neighboring tree observing
these proceedings and nothing was
ever more woefully comic or more im
raorously rueful than namlets smile
as he looked at me with those deep
melancholy eyes and with that little
furtive grimace murmuring as he did
so Its the last recall
Trouble Making
Trouble making is an older industry
than the manufacture of steel Cain
the trouble maker got into action be
fore Tubal Cain the ironworker and
Eve got Adam into hot water long be
fore the boilermakers union began
business
There are three brands of trouble
imaginary borrowed and real Imag
inary trouble consists of railroad ac
cidents earthquakes fires suicides dis
eases such as the patent medicine man
makes the poorhouse death and the
grave carefully mixed and taken after
a late dinner or a drop in the stock
market
Borrowed trouble is the kind we get
from our relatives Its principal in
gredients are visits borrowed money
birthday presents advice and expec
tations But the real article is pro
duced as follows Put the sandals of
endurance on your feet take your life
in your hands and follow bj turns the
how to be happy philosopher the
preacher of physical culture and the
apostle of diet Puck
His Hunt For Home
On one occasion Do rachmann the
famous pianist with his nervous and
irritable temperament was summoned
to appear before Queen Alexandra at
Buckingham palace He immediately
adopted anarchism as his political
faith and obstinately refused to go
His friends labored with him for hours
aud at last persuaded him not to com
mit an impertinence which would nev
er be forgiven by the English people
Finally he was dispatched in a cab
The night wore on to morning and
the frantic wife of the pianist a nd his
friends could learn nothing of what
had become of him At last a forlorn
looking cab drove up to the house j
and De Pachmann dismounted On
leaving the palace he had forgotten
where he lived and could only tell the I
cabman that it was in a square with
a church in it Sb all night long he
had been engaged in making a round
of the innumerable squares of London
His Measure
A few friends relates Mr James
Moir in the Draughts World were
chatting with Wyllie the checker
champion in a club after one of his
days of exhibition play in Glasgow
when a youth slightly under the influ
ence of John Barleycorn threatened
to monopolize the conversation blow
ing his own horn and giving out in no
uncertain language that he considered
himself the equal of Wyllie The old
man took no notice of him for a time
but occupying the usual five minutes
in considering the move quietly asked
the youth to remove his hat not more
than a six and a half size then sub
stituted his own which was a large
one and went well down over the
young braggarts nose and casting
his eye around the company said
scornfully Thats his measure The
company enjoyed the retort so much
that the youth was glad to make a
hurried exit
The Servant and the Factory Woman
Much as I loathe the factory system
it scores in some respects above scul
leries In factories at any rate wo
men meet with their kind and have in
tercourse with many varieties of hu
man nature But chained up in
I leries and kitchens with tether just
long enough to reach the stocking to
be mended and no longer their lives
are bare and starved as the picked
ed and rattled instead precisely at the bones that they put in the pots Loir
same hour Then came along a spook don Woman Worker
expert who discovered that at five
minutes before midnight the fast ex
press train passed along the highroad
a mile away from the house and set in
motion some vibratory wave that acted
upon the cupboard and scared a whole
household
Why She Was Absent
A teacher in one of the girls schools
on the lower east side recently had
the following excuse for absence hand
ed her by one of her pupils
Dear Miss It gives me much pleasure
to write to you because I have a worry
ment and you should please excuse my
Annie who does not come by you because
she has to go to the hospital with her
