DIR. F. b. Nofsinger, Kansas City's
postmaster, does not smoke very much,
but he has nevertheless sent a number
of greenbacks up in clouds during the
past thirty years. The doctor is a com
Portable sort Of mar and likes to enjoy
the good things going. He does not
smoke nor than five cigars a day-he
thinks more might be injurious to his
health. This makes a total Of $50 per
month. or 1,SOO in a year, which num-
Der multiplied by thirty, the number
of years the doctor has been given TO
the weed, gives a grand total of a.
900.
These cigars retail a ten cents apiece
but DR.. Nofsinger buys them by the
hundred, and in that way the expense
is but seven cents TO the unit. At
even cents apiece the 81, 900 cigars
smoked in thirty years would cost
s., 80. Had these been purchased at
ten cents apiece the expense would
have been s., 400. And in considera-
ton of the fact that the postmaster is
a pretty good kind of fellow he must
have given away about 81, 900 worth.

Our national library Is a huge triple

building. and holds more than 600, 600
volumes in IFS capacious shelves.

each side of which run large alcoves Of

are large enough TO contain two peo-

these small chambers are iron galleries.

roof is reached. And each n is load
ed down with thousands upon thou
sands Of volumes.
Every available space is occupied by
dusty tones, yet in this seeming confu-
sion there is admirable order. The
location Of every book is kept, and a
visitor calling for a certain author is
kept waiting only a few moments.
Children under sixteen are not al
lowed in the library, yet part Of it is
devoted solely to children's literature
and fairy tales.
Many are the quaint and curious
books preserved on these shelves. One
can see tn Bibles of all nations-the
Zend-Aves a and the Khoran side by
side with ne text book of the MormOns
and the scriptures of the Christians.
Then there are volumes in the quaint
old Eng sh type, books published three

an old Bible printed in the Sixteenth
century, and the first newspaper that

The largest book in existence is in
this library. a huge volume nearly two
yards long and containing life size col
ored illustrations Of birds Of all nations.
This book is called The Audubon Book
on Birds. and il worth a fabulous sum.
Audubon. remember, is the man for
whom is named the society for the pre-
vention Of cruely 10 birds. Its aim is
TO do away with the useless slaughter
of birds for millinery purposes.

The man inside the horse a wRs

the car was small and pale. The large
red passenger was infringing the rules
Of the railroad company by lighting a
cigar. The small conductor had
watched this audacity, and when he

The large man turned his small pig

The conductor looked the large man
over. He observed that he was about
the size Of Mr.. Sullivan, the pugilist,
and he wondered whether his salary as
conductor was large enough TO induce
him to risk his life in a physical en-
counter with the burly rufian. There
is a personal pride in nearly all men,
and that conductor forgot the corpora

determined that he, as an individual,
