rooms of the Public Library dur-
ing' these days of wittter's stre-

; warm and quietly restful. , it pre-
L'nt'i inducements that compell r
large attendance even' afternoon

' 1'here are 2C100 volumes on the
shel yes that appl . .J to every diver-
hit of library tastc. Many : daily
papers' ill thc county papers ancl
every malaxinc of note arc of
easy access , and arc among the
most popular attractions lor the
patrons.
The Popularity of the institu-
' tiOIl grows as the public 1 becomes
store familiar : with attractions.
A reporter stopped there twice
on Saturday anti at each time
there were eight or ten persons
waiting' in line for the lihrarian
to rl'g'istt'r the books : they were
taking out for Sunday's reading'
1'l1e library board has been
very fortunate , or rather discrimi-
nating , in the selection of librari-
i
ans. Airs. A. G. \Vanner , the
former librarian was a most excellent -
ce11en official and Miss Iorton ,
the present librarian has hher
{
I conscientious efforts added g'reat-
ly to the influence and popularity
of the institution. Previous to the
holidays Miss Morton on Satur-
day mornings would read to the
chihlren. 'rhis became so popu-
lar with the little ones that the
children's room was crowded at
each reading' 'l'he severe wea-
ther made it necessary to discontinue -

Catalogues containing a com-
plete list of the books can be obtained -
tained at the library for twenty-
live cents. After May 1st dl
hooks may he borrowed without
cost , until \Iay 1st , a charge of
forty cents is made for this privi-
lege. The influence of good read-
ing'is an intangible thing , and
therefore is not 8U sceptible of
measuremen t. That it exists is
evidence by results which maybe
traced back to a cause. No one
visiting this beautiful library
and speu ,4ug an enjoyable hour
in watching the young and old
bending over books and magazines
that would be denied them were
it not for the library can doubt
the refining and ennobling
thoughts that are born within
its walls , thoughts and senti-
ments that arc making now , and
will continue to make for the
betterment anU l improvement of
our people.

Saturday thc reporter noticed
only a very few that were , not '
warmly covered with blankets. ,
A man who will leave a dumb
sef\'cltt to suffer with cold is not
worthy the ownership of a shark.

Trade has regained its normal
proportions after the holiday
rush. Saturday found the streets
crowded with shoppers and the
hitch racks congested with sleighs
of every pattern and d iscri pt ion.
Can you conscentiou81y speak a
good word for The 'Pt ibune to
your neighbor. If you can , we
would appreciate it very much if
you would do so.Ve want to
make our subscription list read
like two thousand by January 1st ,
1'J06 , and you can assist us if you
-
will.
The Tribune seems to be get-
ting a little mite the worst of it
at the hands of the shears and
paste pot. 'l'hc Lincoln Journal
ran one of our editorials giving
credit to another laper. The
Auburn Republican took three of
our news itcms and credited them
to 'The Journal and News and
now comes a paper not a thous-
and miles away from us and uses
our matter without giving credit
at all. If YOU see anything in
this paper that you believe wor-
thy of reproduction , help your
sp.lf. If you prefer not to credit
it , all right , \'e can afford it if I
you can ; but be kind enough to
be a little more discriminating 1 in
your choice of papers and refrain
from giving the Journal credit
with our stuIT.
Talk about putting up a stove !
pipe or hamering' your thumb , as
being inducements to profanity.
Did you ever have a furnace that
belched clouds of smoke through
thc register in cold weather and
was as docile and well behaved
as possible while the weather
was warm.
