After being closed for a month in order to have the roof repaired and the interior redecorated, the Grand Rapids public library-was again op- ened to the public Monday and the patrons certainly showed evidence! | they were glad of the fact, for 50] | books were issued during the even- }ing. During the year 1910 the aver- age number of books loaned was 40 per day. The interior of the library certain- ly presents a very neat appearance with its new coat of paint. The cost of the repairs and decorations was. about $400. While not as large as the Hibbing library, the Grand Rap- ids one will compare favorably in size with all others in northern Min- nesota, there being about 2,300 vol- umes and Mrs. Huntley, the librar- ian, informs the Herald-Review she is expecting a new consignment of ‘books of fiction and books for child- | ren, in a few days. The librarian wishes it understood ! that contributions of books are al- ways welcome and are much appre- ciated, there being always a lack of funds to purchase new ones. At the present time there are a large number loaned out which have not been returned and she wishes those | holding them to kindly return at once. It was John Cotton Dana who said: |“The public library is the broadest |of teachers, one may say the only \free teacher. It is the most liberal) of schools, it is the only reali |people’s college. It can freely tell ‘all known facts about any question. | It begins with the youngest, and , When a man is old it is still ready ‘and able to instruct him. It answers fairly alk who want to know. It leads us to want to know. Among the things which continually make for happiness, order and prosperity in the community count the public li- brary as one,” and this institution) is, something that should have the sup- port of every citizen. It is a well- known fact that children, when they form the habit of reading good books both as to hab- invariably improve, its and morals. Encourage the children to frequent the reading | room at the public library. Also, fre- quent it yourself. You will find all the latest magazines and current literature as well as the daily papers. There was a fine lady in Grand Rap- ids town Who liked to be well dressed all the year ‘round, But she didn’t like this, and she did- n't like that And those colors didn’t just match with her hat, And she had just about given it up in dispair she saw The Art Tailors made fine things to wear, So she told them her wants, looked over their line When and | And her worry had vanished in less than no time.

BAD MAN SHOOTS UP DEER RIVER TOWN Inspired by cheap whiskey and possessed by the idea that he was | in the wildest section of the west a woodsman precipitated a panic in the waiting room of the Great tea | | i | Northern depot at Deer River Thurs- | day evening where several people | were waiting for passenger trains, when he drew a revolver and began firing promiscuously about the room, to the accompaniment of stentorian | whoops and an impromptu war dance. He was arrested and lodged in jail. Two of the shots lodged in the wall of Herreid Bros.’ store, near sleep- ing apartments occupied by George Herreid. Name Legally Changed. Mr. Matt X. Mattson, proprietor of | the billiard parlor on Second avenue | was a caller before Judge Stanton, Nov. 24th, and took the occasion to} have his name changed to one not so popular in this country, and one not so easily confused in the United \States mail, a condition that has been aggravating to Mr. Mattson. Mr. Mattson after experiments of numer- ous trying natures, when from one to half a dozen Matt Mattsons drew his mail first, decided that his old family name, Matt Uitto, which he left in Finland, was good enough for him; and that he made a mistake when first coming to this country, that he took the advice of friends and changed his name to Mattson. These friends advised him with good | intentions, as Uitto is a name hard} {to familiarize to English speaking people, but Mr. Uitto thinks that his English friends can twist their tongues with less discomfort than he can undergo the numerous d‘scom- forts of mail troubles, besides he takes considerable pride in the fam- ily name, which is one well thought | of in his native land. We think Mr. Uitto did right in correcting an er- ror of judgment not uncommon to‘ newcomers, and here is hoping him success under the new-old caption, and that when the right time comes, Uitto will be a family name here, and that the American family will | prosper and grow up generation af- ter generation with the same up- | rightness that has marked the name | in the old country—Bovey Iron News. | Revel of the Leaves—H. | vest, | by saying the students should | ence , one boy on the list.

He pointed out the advantages we enjoy as: Am- | | i ericans im the celebration of two national holidays, 4th of July and Thanksgiving day. This day was founded by our forefathers because of their thankfulness for freedom to worship God. Thanksgiving was next celebrated in honor of the abundant harvest. Connecticut, Mr. Dickinson's home state, was the first to set aside a day for Thanksgiving which was to be celebrated annually. Mr. Dickinson went on to say that We as a nation have many things to be thankful for; the abundant har- our indusrties, and the peace our nation enjoys with other na- tions. He showed how the community and the students should feel thank- ful for the great advantage we enjoy in having such a privilege of attend- | img the fine schools in our district | as well as in many others. He closed } al- ways be happy and satisfied their conditions and themselves. Hap- Diness, said Mr. Dickinson, comes not from external conditions but from the power within us. We annot be happy unless we ourselves so. Report cards were given out Wed- | nesday and great joy was shown on many faces while a few others look- | ed less happy.

The students report a most delight- | ful time and were accompanied by Miss Stevens on their return home Following are two short stories en- titled, ““Make Believe Is Worse Than Real,” by Fred Gannon, a student in the eighth grade, Central school, and “Helping Bert Along,” by Earl Dur- and, of the sixth grade at Forrest lake school. They were published in the Minneapolis Journal Junior ot last Sunday and the last named story was given honorable mention. They follow: Make-Believe Worse Than the Real. One day two children decided to play ‘‘doctor.” ‘‘Whose house shall we play at’? said M—. “It doesn’t make any difference,” said R—, you have a little brother and we could have him as our patient.” “Very well; we’ll go to our house,” said M—. They took several kinds | of medicine from the sideboard and then M— got her brother out of bed and asked him if he wanted to play he was sick. “Of course!” he re- plied. So he was laid on the cot While they were gone he decided to see what they were doing. There they sat making a mixture of castor oil, turpentine and vinegar. “You needn’t think I am going to not, either. It was a good ~ thing too, for him, for if he had, he would | really have been sick, instead of! merely playing so. Helping Bert Along. When.
