want to give you the benefit of my
shopping experiences also. You know
there few things that we have not here
that we may find in larger place, and
its only for the things we have not that
one ought to go abroad. One thing that
we have not here is a book exchange,
such as is kept by B. Click, at 525, Main
street, Kansas City. Mr.. Click has re-
Gently moved to this room to accommo-
date his ever increasing stock.
We were pressed for time so had to
visit his place in the evening-and oh,
the books! Thousands and thousands of
volumes. I would liked to have staid
with them, or have brought them with
me, but as either was impossible I tried
to find few things that had originally
set out to buy. found them, and in the
mean time found so many things that
/ wanted that had not intended origin
ally to buy, that incidentally also I
found the bottom of my purse.
That's the only limit to having ones
wants supplied unless it's great deal
farther to the bottom of your purse than
it is to the bottom of mine.
One of US, that was I, remained below
to look through the children's holiday
books, modern novels, etc. The other
one of us, that was he, climbed thirty
foot ladder to nose around among all
sorts of law books close to the ceiling,
without thinking of the fact that his task
was to take him "to the top of the lad
der" mentally approved of Mr.. Click
thoughtfulness in leaving my kind of
books on the low tables where I could
slt down and fill up my lap and have a
good time leisurely.
Books oftentimes seem beyond our
means though we may desire them very
much indeed. But here, beside the un-
limited number of new books, you will
find valuable books, slightly soiled, cost
ing but trifle. Children's books in end
less variety. The Chatter Box for few
cents. They may be somewhat soiled
but will give you the secret OF removing
that till they will be bright and clean.
Take piece Of good, light bread, not
too dry, work it into little ball and use
this as an eraser. 1t will remove 9ll PEN
Gil marks, finger prints and renew the
dressing to the page. Try this. You
will find it reliable.
Another advantage in trading with Mr..
Click is, if you have a book that you
don't want, take, or send it to him and
get something that you do want
While We we're in there lady brought
in an arm-load of old books. .You surely
can get nothing for those" thought
But she did, though the books were di-
spidated they were whole, SO she made
an exchange, paying a triae "to boot"
And courtesy was dealt out to the little
folks, who ca me in that evening in search
OF school books, etc, in the same quantity
as to the grown up folks.
And to my little friend. who is reading
history, or to any other who wants book
not obtainable at home, will say that
shopping by mail is a very satisfactory
way to deal with Mr. Click.
So when you visit Kansas City call at
the book exchange first because then You
may buy books while you have some
money, and last SO that if by chance Won
still have some money you may buy some
more books. Add books are the hest
friends OF intelligence, boys and girls.
And there was book that T shon,d
like to see in the possession of every fami-
~ who feel that they can not quite see
their way to the possession Of the latest
