Partial Truth. This story is sold of a Bmall scion of a Presbyterian household, who had been drilled in the shorter catechism until it came from hie lips as glibly as the al phabet or "two times one." One sad and lonesome day he had tried his mother's patience until it gave way under the strain, and, with a decid ed access of temper, she administered corporal punishment to her naughty son. He bore his lot with such resignation as he could muster, but that night when his father, the minister, inquired as to the misdemeanors of the day, his memory seemed cloudy. "But mother tells me she.had to pun ish you, Harold," said the father if you can't remember that you have been naughty, why did she punish you? "I think 'twas 'for her own glory,' father," replied the sleepy little trans gressor, and he was questioned no fur ther that night, as the mother had a feeling that he might not be so far wrong in his quotation after all. How the People Pay for "Prosperity." While the truBts have here and there slightly increased the wages of their employes, they have in every instance added several times aB much to their own protttB, and made the people foot the entire bill. The Emporia Times has taken the trouble to obtain from the merchants of that city the increase in price of articles of necessity as com pared with the selling price of one year ago. Stoves have increased 30 per cent. Wagons have increased from four to Qve dollars. Copper has doubled in price. Fourteen-inch plows that sold for $10 now sell for 814. Hopes that sold for 5 cents a pound now sell for 12 cents. A common stove pipe sold for 10 cents npw it goes at 20 cents. Bolts and rodB have gone up 75 per cent. Tin has increased from $1.50 to 32 a box. Cultivators have increased from three to four dollars. Hoes, forkB, rakes, shovels, spades and all such articles have gone up to the consumer 45 per cent. Nails per keg, from $2.20 to 94,10. Barbed wire, galvanized,' from $2.40 a hundred pounds to $4.60. Binder twine, which cost 7 cents a pound, now costs from 11 cents a pound to 12J£ cents. Glass has increased forty per cent. Other articles of general use show a The Kings of England in Rhymo. Old England was once Into sovon divided. And seven different kings tbere at one time re sided.

ELHA I. LOCKE REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS Of the Annual Ueeting of The Iowa State Library Association, Held at Cedar Bapids, Novem ber 8 and 9, 1890. The following report by Mrs. M. M, Carr was voted by the Library Board to be printed by the city papers. For the tenth time the Iowa Library Association has met and discussed the great subject of Free Public libraries. The increasing interest manifested by the attendance of librarians and trus tees at these meetings is an indication that the people feel more and more the necessity and need of a free source from which to draw their mental food. This state now is proud to possess many cities and towns with these pub lic libraries, yet they are not all free. Our state has but about forty two free public libraries and of one of these Manchester is justly proud.. In 1878, the Legislature enacted a law giving cities the privilege of establishing free libraries. Independence was the only plaoeto avail its«lf of the benefit of the law the first year. In 1873 the law was amended making it necessary for the electors to vote upon the question. Many of those who came to attend those state meetings, came eager to learn how to proceed in order to obtain tbe coveted free library. Miss Stearns, of tbe Wisconsin Li brary Commission, and Miss Ahearn, publisher of the library magazine called "Public Libraries", were again in at tendance. Miss Stearns gave us many inspiring ideas upon establishing libra ries in small places and she demonstrat ed how great things may come from small beginnings. She advocated tbe Library Commission, a committee Belected by tbe legislature whose busi ness it Is to assist in establishing libra ries all over the State, and teach people how to best promote their growth. This commission must have at its dis posal a certain sum of money Bet aside by the Legislature to use in their work, but no salary is paid to its members. There are, at present fourteen states having library commissions. The sub' ject created much interest and finally a resolution, prepared by T. S. Parvln, who for fifty-six years has been librarian of the Masonic Library, was adopted. The following is the resolution: Resolved, that a committee consist ing of the state librarian, Mr. Johnson Brigham, the president of the librarian association, Mr. W. H. Johnston, and Miss L. Stearns, of Wisconsin, whose aid we earnestly invite, be constituted to prepare a paper setting forth the views of tbe Iowa State Library Asso ciation, of its public librarians and earnest library workers as to the impor tance and necessity of the constituting a library commission, after the plan of Wisconsin, New York, and a dozen or more Btates where the plan has been adopted and proved a moBt valuable aid in the management of our growing pub lic libraries and the bringing home to the people the value and necessity of such library commission for the general diffusion or knowledge among tne peo ple old and young. That the secretary and treasurer of the association forward a copy of such paper to each and every member-elect of the general assembly with a request that they lend their aid to secure the passage of a law creating such' a com mission. The effort to induce tbe legislature to secure such a law four years ago failed, but tbe interest is livelier than ever now. Indeed, it may be said that the strongest purpose of those who at tended the Cedar Bapids meeting was the desire to create a greater interest in favor of procuring this Library Com mission. It is doubtless the thing that would promote the greatest good in library work and that the free publio library is a great public educator all in telligent thinking people will not deny, We bad the pleasure of meeting President McLain, of Iowa State Uni versity, wjio spoke very urgently in favor of good reading and tbe promo tion and establishment of libraries. In closing he spoke of the work to be done for tbe people at the coming session of the legislature. We were proud to report the fact that Manchester was receiving the benefit of the traveling library which like increase in cost to the consumer, stands for a high degree of intelligence, In every instance the trust has added or a desire to possess it. enormous profits, every cent of which must come out of the people who have The President of the| association, Captain Johnston, of Fort Dodge, read heard so muoh and Been so little of the a number of inquiries as to the travel- boatMl "MoKUalsy ptMpttttyi"'' log Ubnry. Library p*opt* as olais Vi^KfW.* The next morning, Thursday, was •lection President Johnston was re elected for a third term F. F. Dawley, of Cedar Rapids, was elected vice-presi dent and Ella McLong, of Ues Moines, secretary. These officers and A. P. Fleming and JMra. (Howe were elected an executive committee. Sioux City invited the association to meet there next time, also Council Bluffs and Davenport. It was left to the executive cotrimittee to decide upon the next place of meeting. The guests were delighted to meet the-oldest of library workers in our state, T. 'S. Parvln, wbo has done so mueh for the pride of hiB life, the Maionio Library. There are very few people who spend a day in Cedar Bapjds who do not visit this wonder ful building, full of ancient and won derful curiosities and workb of art. presume all of our library board has visited this beautiful place so I will not take time to go Into details. Miss McCrary, librarian of the Cedar Rapids library, read a very excellent paper setting forth the work of their li brary. While they possess a beautiful library it has been but a short time that the city has enjoyed a free public li brary. It is well equipped with ma terial as well as help, and they are do ing muoh to interest and educate the public, especially the children, One feature that was much admired ts what •a called a bulletin board upon which is placed the Interesting topics of the day, also piotures from publications. Amateur photography is also exhibited. A "nature board" upon which appears the flowers, leaves, seeds, and every thing whioh the season or month pro duces, etc. Then they have a continuous exhibit of copies of the best works of art and the loaning of them as books are loaned. The frames are made ad justable so that new pictures may be inserted frequently. They provide low tables and chairs for the children, and take speoial pains to teach them how to read and care for books and papers, and then even take the time to question them upon what they read to help them remember it better. It almost amounts to kindergartln work, and is doing much good. She spoke of the good a town library could do to people in the country,-it they could reach out a help lag teiid If only to suggest and help a school distrust to get the use of the travelling library. Tbe question has been asked how much good will come of all this great library spirit that is waviug its mag.u wand all over this country. No one can tell the extent of the influence of these gatherings. We have reason to believe that it will tend to develop a better and nobler class of men and women with larger sympathies, broader minds, and a deeper insight into all that is good. As Hamilton Mabie says, "An unfolding and enriching of the human spirit by conforming to the laws of its own growth and the result of abroad and rich human life. The man of culture is he who has so ab sorbed what he knows that it has be come apart of himself. The personal enriobment is the very highest and finest result of intimacy with books. It is this highest culture that these li brarians and trustees are seeking to develop in the readers who oome to the libraries for aid. They can only be a sort of literary guide post, as Miss Mc Crary Bald, but even guide posts have their uses if their hands are pointed in the right direction. ir MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER, 29, 1899. VOL. XXV--NO, 48, seem to lack Information concerning it. Tbe Cedar Bapjds people exerted themselves to entertain the fifty-two visitors. A pleasant reception was given at the Bremer Home, the first evening we were there, and Mayor lled mond welcomed the guest? to the city, and Johnson Brigham, the state libra rian, replied to the speech of welcome after which President McLain spoke. but let them read. Ayoid air friction and criticism. It is important to consult librarian in selecting books, her views muBt be heard with consideration. Mr. Parvin told how hfty-six years ago he founded his Masonic library up on one book, the only one of its kind in this sountry, and declared he would be the means of building up a great libra ry and with undying perseverance and love for his work he has now one of tho most wonderful libraries in existence. His words of wisdom and encourage ment were gratefully received by an attentive audience, by whom they will be long remembered. 7 Try Gram-O! Try Qrain-O!

It is not the most important thing to know things, but to know how to do things. The librarian and trustee must not forget that it is their duty to use the public money to fnrnish good reading to the largest number at the least cost Trustees shenld be modest In making rules for the librarian, provided the li brarian is well qualified. Librarians should be left to manage library details Whoever is his own lawyer has a fool for a client The board should take time to con sult together often, and if they have no time to devote to the library interests refuse to accept a position as trustee. An instance was given ot a vice presi dent as being the only one interested who finally appropriated the funds, president who did not preside a direct or who did not direct, but a vice presi dent who viced with ail his might. It is recommended that librarians should be present at least apart of each meeting of the board, as the board and librarian should consult each other fre quently. One thing was particularly empha sized, that great oare should bo exer cised in placing members on the board, They should be competent, scholars, conservative, unselfish, capable of broad judgment, and above all congen ial to the membership's harmony is es sential. A person not willing to make a sacrifice for his work can not sue ceed. To suit everyone, librarians should be angels and trustees Solomons. Scientific American should be upon the table. It is not wise to discuss matters out side the board. No age limit was reeommended. that is, let people of any age be entitled to draw books.
