BIG CROWD EXPECTED
At Glen Miller Park Sunday.
on
Glen Miller park, as usual will be the Mecca, Sunday, for several thousand good citizens of Richmond. Last Sunday the park was unusually popular and several thousand people enjoyed its shady groves, boating on the lake and the band concert. An incident quite a little out c the
ordinary, amused all the children who
saw it as well as the grown-ups. "Nellie," the three-months-old bear cub that Superintendent Hollarn recently purchased, was allowed to take a swim in the lake in the afternoon. While "Nellie" was disporting herself in the cool, refreshing water, two swimmers from the Hawkins pool came over and joined her in the Glen lake. "Nellie" was vastly pleased with the companionship and had a royal good time playing water tag with the two young swimmers. It is safe to say that all the children who witnessed "Nellie's" swim and all their playmates to whom they recounted the story will be on hand at the Glen tomorrow, hopeful that Superintendent Hollarn will allow the little lady bear to take another swim and that her human playmates will be on hand again to take part in the water sport. The merry-go-round will be in operation again tomorrow furnishing a certain class of amusement to children as well as discordant strains to accompany the music of Cooper's band; for the merry-go-round's whistle and organ do not blend in harmony with the band's efforts, just across the way. Cooper's band will be on hand again in the afternoon and will render a number of selections.
NO AFFIDAVITS FILED.
No affidavits will be filed in Juvenile court against Joseph Eberling, 17, Raymond Gehring, nor Harry Doner, 15, who nearly caused a stampede at the Palace theater, Wednesday night by beating on the fire exits from the outside. Young Doner was paroled recently from the reformatory and has been in trouble with the police authorities several times.

Talks on the Public Library

There is danger of spoiling a child's pleasure in a good book by insistently thrusting it upon him. This same remark applies to older children too. But by adroit methods a child may be guided in his reading selection. He may be allowed to discover treasures which have been purposely placed within his reach, or he may be stimulated to read a book by having the beginnings of it told to him. An effort is being made in the schools to direct the reading of children. This is very commendable and does an endless amount of good. Yet reading for pleasure is sometimes spoiled by the suggestion that it is compulsory. There are many children and many people who do not care for reading per se who may be stimulated to reading if they are given books in which they may easily get information about the things they like to do. For such persons there is a mine of things in the public library. We should all like to have our children able to amuse themselves with books. It is a convenient and useful accomplishment, that of being able to
read a book, and perhaps it is not no universal as we sometimes think. A good introduction to book-reading is the picture book. To a child, a book without pictures is a deadly uninteresting waste of paper and ink. Then there comes the story told about the picture and after that the reading about the picture. Many of us have learned to read from picture books from Mother Goose. And how at sea we would have been in our reading without the pictture to tell us if we must read, "Dickery, dickery, dock" or "There was a Man in Our Town." There are lists of good picture books and easy reading books to be found in the Children's room at the library, euch as "Child's Garden of Verse," "Runaway Donkey," "Through the Farmyard Gate." After the picture book follows the fairy tale and myth as "Uncle Remus," "Grimm's Household Tales," Hawthorne's "Wonder Book," Andrew Lang's fairy books, "Alice in Wonderland," "Wonder-book of Verse," Anderson's fairy tales. In fact a whole world f "Pinoechios," "Undines Lame Princes" and "Princesses and Goblins." Longer epics and ballads follow by fiatural development. "Robin Hood," Beowuef," "Story of Siegfried," "Story of Roland", of Cid, the Faerie Queene," "King Arthur" and "The Iliad and Odyssey." Editions suitable for children will be found at the library. Poetry and rhymes for the pleasure of mere literature will follow and a Child will have arrived at the classics. If you are interested in children's reading there are books about it in the adult department. A new one is "The Children's Reading" by Miss OlcotL How to tell stories to children" (Bryant) and "Story telling, what to tell
eral others equally good will be found there also. If you will undertake this matter of your children's reading, you may work wonders in the way of the intellectual development of not only your child but yourself. You will not only be interested but will become more interesting. You will expand your vocabulary and add your store of knowledge. You will find food for your soul and surcease from sorrow.
Norman Hapgood is announced as the new editor of Harper's Weekly. Mr. Hapgood was the editor of Colliers until last fall when he was succeeded by Mark Sullivan.

$3.50 RECIPE FREE. FOR WEAK MEN
; Send Name and Address Today You Can Have it Free and B i Strong and Vigorous.
We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn ov.t and nervous men right in their own homes without any additional help or medicine that we think every man who wishes to regain his manly pewer and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So we have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write us for it. This pres:ription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and we are convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. We think we owe it to our fellow men to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what we believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop us a line like this: Interstate Remedy Co., 4295 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and we will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this but we send it entirely free. ( Advertisement!

THE BRADY WAR PHOTOGRAPHS are owned by THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. They were taken "on the spot" by Mathew B. Brady and his assistants, by authority of President Lincoln, during the four long, weary years, while the war was going on. The government paid $27,840 for the negatives alone. General Grant saw many of them taken and joined Generals Butler and Garfield in saying they were worth $150,000. This was years ago. They are worth far more today. Can you imagine anything more authentic to illustrate history ? These illustrations are not mere imaginative sketches and wood cuts, bat the actual scenes, thrilling events; battlefields, hospitals, prisons, ruins and scenes of desolation; dead, wounded and dying, transferred for the present generation by the faithful negatives of the Brady cameras after a lapse of fifty years. The Government Paid $27,840 for These Negatives, and they went into the archives of the War Department; but the people of the country never saw them. They were not serving their great educational purpose. The War Memorial Association devised a plan whereby beautiful copies could reach the people at a cost so small as to prove startling. The War Department granted permission to reproduct the photographs. A famous private collection of Brady War Photographs have been added to the work, greatly increasing its value. The Entire Work Is Printed on Fine Enamel Paper, in large and clear type specially made for the purpose. The engravings are made direct from the Brady photographs by the best engravers obtainable. The whole book is profusely illustrated with these engravings, scarcely a page being without illustrations. Many of the photographs require full pages for themselves. These photographs show the great scenes throughout the four years of the war and are of extraordinary historic interest at this time.
