Stato lloanl Has Omii!i'ied a List of
Ii(HlKS.
Slate Sup'-intenclent V. T. Carring
ton is sending out ti fchool boards cm
aloues of Ibe library book selected by
ihe stste board.
About Sou volumes have been r.'com
mended for the rural and graded M-tiot 1
libraries, ami about 250 for the bij,h
schools.
The law rt quires t i at the first hun
dred vuluiiiiS be stltcted frotibtbese
llfitS.
The liiiiidrrd volumes especially
recommended w ill bi found on pages
6, 7 and X. They can bo purchased
lor $10. exprrssage prepaid. This is
just "JS per cent discount.
Other states have similar lawn arid
contracts. Iowa has a contract with a
St. l'aul coii.pany at an average of 25
per cent discount. The same company
bid lu Mb.-ouri 22 per ceul discount.
Two Missouri companies bid to luruish
thp books, but both at less than 20 per
cent discount.
Good loads, free rural delivery and
school libraries will go far to check the
mad rush to the towns and cities.
The law look effect June 22. It is
hoped every district will spend at least
fa this year for books.
The books have been selected with
special reference to supplementing the
regular work and in emiching the
course of study. Supt. Carrington says:
'It now remains for the school
boards to provide for the books. If
the incidental fund will not stand a
draft of 5 for the library, some steps
should be taken to raise at least that
much immediately for that purpose.
'Do not think of ordering less than
?5 worth. The contractor does not
agree to furnish an order for less than
that amount at reduced rales.
"Every county board of education
and every county superintendent should
constitute a county library board, and
so far as practicable all school boards
and teachers should consult with them
and get tbem to make the orders. If
not made by some member of the
county beard of education the order
must be sent in the name of the district.
"Several 'Five Dollar Libraries' are
are given. These have been selected
with great care, with the yiew of sup
plementing the regular school room
work. It terr or fifteen dollars is to be
spent, simply order two or three of the
special libraries. These small libraries
are numbered and may be ordered by
number. Any combination of .special
lists and supplemental lists may be
made to suit the amount the district
has to spend.
"No slate has a better contract for
library books. Tho board took great
paics in selecting books and in getting
bias. The list and prices will bear
comparison and we feel quite proud to
be able to announce the prices to the
districts lower in many instances than
they are furnished to the schools of
Iowa: that, too, in face of the fact that
the Iowa contractor wrote that be
coold not duplicate tbe Iowa bid be
canse he was losing money on it. A
district can get 100 volumes in the
special and supplemental lists for $40.
ocnooi boards should make, or
cause to be made, a simple box-bookcase
to rest on tbe teacher's desk, pro
Tided with door on hinges and with
lock and key. It will be so much
better if such bookcase can be made in
the walls of the house when tbe bouse
is constructed.
"It may be objected that $5 will not
buy many books and that so few books
will do little good. Try it. Five dol
lars a year is better than waiting five
years to raise 25. Teachers and
pupils will learn to appreciate a few
books faster than if the list is too
large. Experience with few books will
insure wiser purchases later. I would
advice districts to make as large orders
as possible, but insist that small orders
be made now rather than wait for
more.''
bs timid, but the day of the reco t.
was tbe day when the president V
condition changed.
"We visited Mr.- C.i ti -.d," Jude
Clark said, "and found her interest
ing and kindly as she hid alwtt
becti, but she was living over in In i
mind the awful weeks when she, to .
sat by the bedside of an assassinated
president. It seemed so real to her
thai it was simply wonderful. When
President McKinley died Mrs. Gar
field broke down completely, fche
has been ill ever since and Is now
going to California for her health."

showing the fueling of that large asso

There are many tales of suddenly
acquired wealth, but usually thv facts'

are tlry aud uninteresting, says the:,
Cleveland Plain Dealer. To get!'
riches and get them in a lnnniier tliat

Last Christmas. Mrs. M. K Need-!

received as a gift from a frie nd a soli
tary rose, made more beautiful by its
loneliness; but attached to it was a
strange-looking paper, which de
clared that the possessor wils entitled
i
to 200 shares of copperstoek.
This friend was a western gentle
man with whom the ladv had been
acquainted for voars. He wanted to
send soiiiethinir as a toktn of their

friendship, and. manlike, couldn't
think of a present that was suitable,
so sent the stock certificates. Mrs.
Xeedham laid the certificates aside,
not thinking they we;e of any value.
A friend seeing them one dav told her
of the true value of them and excited
her interest.
She looked into the matter and
found that Amalgamated copper was
going up rapidly. Then the fever of
speculation entered her veins. She
scanned the stock reports dailv and
gleefully watched her stock soaring
higher. In the meantime, she. was
