N 1ERE BOOK JUGGLERS CANNOT SUCCEED Town Women Mitt Be Especially Qualified, Well Educated and Carefully Trained Before They Caa Hold a. Place. Of the generality of publle' library pa trons, It Is doubtful If It has ever occurred to more than a small minority that the presence of the young women in the libra ries who so carefully, promptly and courte eusly serve them is due to something mors than good fortune or Influence, or that the requirements of their positions exceed those possible to the average young woman; that there is something more to their work than a familiarity with the location and classifi cation of the books and the system of keeping track of them, or that their gen eral Information concerning the various authors and their works Is anything more than one might acquire from dally handling the books. The very desirable surroundings, the edu cative, refining tendency of the work and the contact with the public are all attractive features of library work that largely Influ ence the scores of young women who from choice or necessity are desirous of an In dependent Income and yearly make appli cation for positions In the libraries. Experience Indicates that the average per on who would go Into library work does so gtecause It seems somewhat superior to the ordinary employment open to women and because she thinks that In It she would be protected from those harsher features with jrhlcb a woman has to contend In a business life. She deems that her liking for books lias especially fitted her for the position, and will not only stimulate her to advance In the work, but compensate for any of Us linpleasantneasgs well. People Rather Than Books. ' I 'As a matter of fact, a liking for books Baa little or nothing to do with the success If A Helping Hand" Is Gladly Extended by an Omaha Citizen. There are many enthuslastle eitliens In Omaha prepared to tell their "experience tot the public good. Testimony from such a Souroe Is the best of evidence and will prove a "helping hand" to scores of read rs. Read the following statement: Mrs. Fred Horn of 2002 Cuming street. ,ays: "In the winter of 189$ L could not isleep oa account of sain in my back. It also bothered me during the day and I of tea had sharp cutting pains In the kidneys .when stooping or causing any strata on my back. At the time I commenced using Poen's Kidney Pills I wss very bad. They were procured at Kuhn A Co's. drug store and the first box relieved me. I eontln tied the treatment un,tll I had taken three boxes, when there was no longer any need to take more. I know Doan's Kidney rills do the work that it is slalmed they do.' For sale by all dealers. Price 10 cents. Foster-Mllbura Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole Ments for the United States. Remember the name, Doan's. and take (a substitute. of a library assistant, the prime essential being a liking for people and a willingness and desire to serve and please them. Also to have some Idea of the real meaning of library work and to look upon a library as an educational institution. The time has been, and not so very long ago, either, that these qualifications, to gether with a fair education, would have sufficed. It was only the librarian who had need of any special education or train ing, the assistants needing chiefly to be familiar with the system in use in the particular library, for. In the main, each Institution was governed by a system of Its own. Even the training advantages of the librarians were limited, for previous to the establishment of the library schools their chief help was gained from confer ences, at which library matters were dis cussed and by which they profited accord ing to their ability to absorb and carry beck the discussion to their own staffs. Within the last tew years the prepara tion for library work has been entirely revolutionised; the growth of the work has created new demands and the schools that have resulted have, In turn, established a eommon system and raised the standard for its maintenance, until the requirements of ths present day library employe are so manifold that but a small per cent of ths aspirants attain them. College Training Essential. The first essential and the basis of all preparation must be the ability to meet and serve the public pleasingly and to this must be added a thorough education. John C. Dana, librarian of the Newark (N. J.) Pub lic library, has said: "The chief thing needed to raise library work to a real pro fessional standard Is Insistence on sound scholastic training as necessary to admis sion to library and school alike." And it promises' to be but a short time until col lege training will be a requisite prelim inary to entrance to a library school or any other preparatory course tor library work. Among the best known schools for 11 brary training are the New York State Li brary school at Albany, the Illinois State Library school at Champaign, 111.; Pratt In stitute at Brooklyn, Drexel institute at Philadelphia and the summer schools at Madison and Iowa City. College training Is necessary to entrance at the Albany school, while out of about 110 applicants to which the entrance examlna tlon of Pratt and Drexel Institutes Is open only twenty are selected and permitted to take the two years' training which consti tutes the course. The Illinois school also gives a two years' course, but requires two years' college training and an entrance ex smlnatlon. There are also training classes In many of the large libraries, where from three to six apprentices are given training In prac tical library work without compensation, aside from the experience they gain. The summer schools, while not so par ticular regarding the previous education of students, admit only those who have had some library training, and, while, of course. their summer courses do not prepare fin Uhed librarians, the experience gained from their six weeks' work, added to previous ex pertence. Is of great value. Work Closely Systematise. Bo systematized has the llhrarv wnrk Ka come that the various schools include prac ttcallr the same trln!n mi.. . logulng. reference work, children's work and Diouograpny and In addition to these li braries are visited that the students may become laminar with their general, prac tlcal work. This has raaulteit In tabllshmeut of a eommon system among the larger ana nest libraries, so that what bene nts one benefits all. This Is Illustrated In tne fact that the Congressional library la lSSUtna Its eitalovua hMi nrlm. I. sufficient numbers to supply other libraries that may wish them, they being equally use ful to all. In most of these schools chief attention la civen to tralninar for free circulating library work, as such Institutions far ex ceed all others in number. Special atten tion has alwavs been alven to cataloguing and classifying, as they were among the few things so formulated that they can be taught; and, being the most technical work, are considered the most Important, but with experience a change la taking place and there la a growing tendency to place greater stress upon the development of those qualities which enable the work ers to meet and deal with the public, these positions promising In the near future to be of most Importance. Supply and Denaund. Naturally the Question arises whether with the establishment of training schools and the increase In their attendance the supply of trained library workers will not soon exceed the demand. There promises to be little danger of this, however, at least for some time to come, owing to tne extension of Ubrsry work through the r.mpiriB henefactlons and the stimulus that they have been to others. At present the supply is quite Inadequate to meet tne demand and the constantly increasing re quirements of those who enter the schools will have a tendency to keep their number small. Th mninrttf of the emDloyes of the Omaha Publlo library have had training in some of the summer schools and so far this has been sufficient, but with the work constantly increasing there is a demand in the city for a library training class to sup ply workers for the. Omaha library and those that are Increasing out In the state. This will probably be considered during the coming year, with a view of establish ing such a class. PRATTLE OF THE YOUJIGiTERS. T.lttln Elme had to wear his elder brother's clothes after the latter had out grown them and one day he said: "I guess I'll be tickled almost to death when I get too big to occupy Fred's clothes.

What do we find there that Is always fresher and purer than it la In the city? Truthful Tommy (with cheerful prompt ness) Popcorn, sir! The little daughter of a prominent west ern senator, relates a Washington corre spondent, has been attending school during the last winter and her proud father, mother and a number of friends went there on the day of the closing school to listen to the examination. The teacher asked the class if the moon was inhabited. The sena tor's little daughter, who was sitting la the front row, wriggled about and raised ber hand. Thinking to please the fond parent. the teacher asked ber. "Yas'm; one moon Is," answered the child. "I don't know about the other. "Well, my dear, which one Is Inhabited?" asked the teacher. "The honeymoon," answered the child. "It's In habited by my aunt and aew Code John." ANYTHING TO GET TOE MONEY Effort to Swindle Insnranoa Companies Oat of IndsmnitT, TRICKS TRIED BY POLICY HOLDERS Vain Endeavors . to Renllso on the Promise of the Company- to Fny- Cash In Certain Contingencies. Long ago a wise man said that very few can tell the truth about their own ailments, and that thoso who can, won't. Representatives of that modern institu tion, the accident insurance company, are inclined to accept the declaration as one of absolute truth. They have learned that it takes a very honorable man, Indeed, to consider him self no sicker or no worse hurt than bo really is when such imagining means dol lars to him, and they have made the fur ther unpleasant discovery that the ills of the flesh, or the bruises thereof, are not Infrequently abetted by a nerve that Is better developed than the conscience. If this conclusion seems too harsh, let the doubting reader quls some of these representatives concerning Instances In point, and he will learn that the com panies are constantly besieged by con scienceless individuals who need money. sometimes for good and sometimes for bad purposes, and that it is only the old rule that "murder will out," together with Sherlock Holmes' scrutiny of details, that keep insurers from being Imposed upon dally and hourly. Surprised, too, win this doubter be when he is shown the extent to which some persons will go in order to secure money by fraudulent method. Ruse that Failed. For Instance:. At Lincoln, not so many months ago, a man deliberately thrust his left foot beneath a moving freight train and had his toes crushed. When the doc tors announced that they could save the foot, except its toes, he strenuously ob jected and begged them to amputate the member above the ankle. This aroused some suspicion, and when It was found that his policy entitled him to nothing If the entire foot was not lost, the com pany began Inquiry, with the result that the fireman was discovered to have seen the man deliberately approach the train and stick his foot under the wheels. The fireman's testimony was all that saved the insurance company that time, but ordinarily It Is the conspirator's own omls- slpn that betrays him. A man with many clothes that were not paid for and consid erable property that was under mortgage went riding one evening on Military avenue. His horse took fright at a white sign on a fence and leaped to one side. The saddle turned and the gentleman was thrown oft onto his shoulder. Injuring it so badly that he had scarcely strength to walk to a dairy man's barn and send for his doctor. That's what he told, but when he presented bis bill the company Informed him that both the owner of the barn sad the doctor had test! fled that the aaddle had been straight on the animal's back when they first saw it, and he found It so difficult to explain, on short notice, how a saddle could turn euffl ctently to dismount a rider and still be up right on the horse's back that he abruptly withdrew the claim. Another man with more horses than ready money reported that one of his animals had tramped en htm while he was moving through the herd In a pasture rented from a farmer. He showed a bad looking foot and the claim might have been allowed without questioning had net the doctor dls covered and commented upon the presence of a large wood splinter burled In the top of the foot. The company'a agent felt mod erately certain that no horse would be wearing wood splinters in Its hoofs and in vestigated. The man had hammered his foot with a fence poet, wielded as in tamp ing earth. Trick with Twine In It. Honest Hezeklah and Upright Uriah are neighbors out in Fremont county. About two months before Honest Hezeklah's acci dent policy (the gift of a man who didn't know him, and therefore liked him), ex pired. Honest Hezeklah was shot In the leg by a trap gun set on Upright Uriah's prem ises. The Insurance company's agent, who Is resident in Omaha now, took the stout cord that had attached to the trigger and asked for some like It at Upright Uriah's house. The unsuspecting hired man said there bad never been any such twine on the place. But the agent found a ball of It In Honest Hezeklah's own barn, and It didn't take much talking to get a confession from Honest Hezeklah and Upright Uriah that they had planned the thing together, Uriah to have a small part of the policy payment for setting the gun on his premises where Hezeklah could fall as its victim when convenient. It was perhaps a relative of these bung lers who drove a nail a short way into his hand from the back and then from the palm. asserting that It accidentally had been driven ' clear through. The doctor probed and discovered that the bones were unpunc- tured. The company gave the claimant a derisive laugh and a warning to be more painstaking hereafter. Rather Transparent Effort. But a more amusing experience than this was one In which a German dairyman liv ing near Davenport, Is., figured. It Is re ported end vouched for by the agent who handled the case there, but who is now In Omaha. He said: "In Davenport everybody and everybody's oousln drinks beer, so that Frits found his cows' article of manufacture not much In demand. He determined to get money by an easier route and took out accident In surance. A month afterward I waa sent out to his place in response to notification that he had fallen from a boat Into the river and disappeared. When I got there his hat was being shown In evidence as the only relic. But on It was pinned a note saying: 'I dl acldentle. Fritz H .' Then I remembered that he had been particular to Inquire about the clause that stipulated that death must be accidental or the policy could not be collected on, and I thought I saw what Frits was up to. Nor was I wrong In my surmise, for within an hour I traced him to his own haymow, where he was hiding until bis wife could collect." But attempts to feign destruction are, agents say, very rare because In these days of coroners and electrlo lights It is so hard to dispose of a body, either quick or dead. And attempts at actual suicide under guise of accidental death are still rarer. Whenever they are made they are by the poison or the drowning route and both are so terrifying to contemplate that he is only a crazed man who can bring himself to them and a crazed man isn't considering Insurance. Fir Works a Miracle. Sprains are the favorite complaints of persons who hold accident Insurance policies, but no jobs. The false and the true are sometimes separated by making emergency tests. For instance, an Idle man had injured himself sadly by attempt ing to lift too much and he was In bed unable to stir. The Insurance company's agent called and managed to drop a lighted, cigar into a -basket of waste paper in the front room as he passed through. Presently an excited maid rushed into ths room where the sufferer Ujc and an&ouacsA that the house was on fire. The poor, crippled in valid was out of bed instantly and dancing about with buckets of water In his hands. The agent smiled and withdrew, saying: "You are so completely and suddenly re covered, Mr. H., that to longer talk of in surance Is obviously unnecessary." Mr. H. never pressed his claim. Accident insurance Is somewhat fad dish, too. After the papers printed the stories of the heavy insurance that Pad erewski carried on bis fingers while tour ing this country, the lesser musical lights made a rush to do the same and theatrical performers fell In line, too, to a certain extent. A danseuse on the Orpheum cir cuit called at the local office of a New York company and wished to take out a policy on her dancing extremities. A singer of note got $1,000 when she bit her tongue, because, for a month, she was un ble to sing. Classification of Risks. Such losses as these are, of course, on special contract policies. There are a dozen different classes of accident Insur ance policies Issued by each of several different companies and the grouping un der each bead is somewhat heterogenous. For Instance, the Select risks Include apothecaries and , architects, retired army officers and studio painters, assessors and attorneys-at-law, bank clerks and book agents not traveling In the country, con cert singers and newspaper writers. A boarding house keeper Is a Preferred risk end an auctioneer is a Special Preferred. Physicians in asylums or practicing in the country are Extra Preferred. Army offi cers In camp or barracks are Ordinary risks, but on campaign are not insurable at alL Neither are professional base ball players nor racing cyclists Insurable in most companies. A farm boss not work ing Is classed as an Extra Ordinary risk. The Medium class Is very broad and In cludes everybody from Jailers, dairymen, constables and coffin makers to cab driv ers, bar tenders and attendants of Insane. Chimney sweeps and circular sawyers are Extra Medium. Electrlo wire linemen are Hazardous; buzs sawyers and moulding machine operatlvea are Extra Hazardous; tower light carbon trimmers are Special Hazardous, switchmen and yardmen are insured by special contract. And a most unfortunate feature of it all Is that the men who take the greatest risks and who, therefore, have to pay most for their insurance, are those whose sal ary, in the majority of cases. Is the small est. For Instance, a railroad man must pay as much ss three doctors to be Insured at all and cannot carry so htgh a policy even ame to pay for it. Men In real danger seldom feign hurts and the frauds are largely perpetrated by people la tnuoh better circumstances. The "loading up" trick which was one such an annoyance is much abated sines the insurance companies established their clearing houses, where all names are reg istered when insured and all companies thus kept informed.
