flDortuar?. | Harold Edward Grisanfer was borp at Syracuse, Ind., Oct. 13,1907, ami died Sept. 3, 1908, aged 10 mouth? and 22 days. Although his life was very short he made many friends by his. cheerful disposition. He was taken ill on Sunday evening and while his illness was of a short duration, he suffered great pain, but bore it patiently and -with a fortitude of one much elder, We. mourn not as one having no hope for we know he is with the saviour who s : d, “Suffer little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of Heaven.” He leaves to mourn hissdeparture a father, mother and one] brother, four grandparents and a number of relatives and friends. 1 he funeral was conducted Saturday at 2:30 p m. from the house, Rev. H. G-. Herendeen officiating. Machine Brote Down, Last week John and Flovd Price of Syracuse, started out with a new clover iiu'ler and when they were in front of Will E Davis’ residenoefon South Main street the driver jattejnpted to cross the s'reet hiar tracks. One wheel of ..the huiler caught hi the track and the rear axle was broken. Tile breakdown oootired about 11 o’clock and the street cars were prevented from running fur nearly an hour. The machine was finally dragged to one side and could not .be removed until late in the afternoon.—Goshen Democrat,

Pleasures of a Library. The great purpose of a public library is to promote and unite intelligence. It brings together the products of the wise minds of the world. It holds within its walls a collection of all the wise and witty things ever said; these it marks and indexes and offers to its friends. It is in its community a sort of intellectual minuteman,always ready to supply to every comer something of interest and pleasure. It puts good books, and no others, into the bands of children. It tells about Cinderella and informs yon on riots in Moscow, it .offers you a novel of modern Japan, and a history of Venice of the past. It knows about the milk in the coooanut, the floods of the river Nile, the advantages of education, the evils of legislation, how to plan a home, why bread won’t rise, and can tell more about the mental failings that give Jamaica and Venezuela trouble than most of our congressmen ever dreamed of. Reading is the short cut into the heart of life. If you are talking with a group of friends about, for example, different parts of the United States, and some one hap* pens to mention a city or town in which you have lived, note how your interest quickens, and how eager you are to hear news of the place or tell of your experience in it. This is a simple every-day fact. The same thing yOu have observed a thousand times about any! subject or talk with which may be familiar. We learn about many things just by keeping alive and ntoying round! Those things we have .learned about we can’t help being interested in. That isthe way we are made. If we knew about more things our interests would be greater m number, keener, more satisfaction; we would talk more, ask more questions, be more alert, get more pleasure. The lesson from this is plain enough: if you wish to have a good time, learn something. You like to meet old friends. rYour brain, also, likes to come across things it knows already, to renew acquaintance with the knowledge it has stored away and half forgotten. The pleasures (if recognition and association; the delights of renewing your- friendships with your own ideas are many, easy tp get, never failing. But if you wish to have interests and delights in good plenty you must know of many things. If you wish to be happy learn something. This sounds like advice to a student. It ,is not, it is a suggestion to the wayfarer. For this learning process may be as delightful as.it is to gather flow T ers by the roadside in a summer walk. Township Institute.
