Defense Against Book Borrowers.

A wise and venerable book-lover once
hit upon a cunning way in which to
defeat the nefarious book-borrower.
He wrote the price. in plain figure. in
all his books, and when anybody asked
to borrow a volume he cheerfully
answered: "Yes. with pleasure. Then
he would add. looking at the fy-leaf,
II see the price of this work is so-and-
so-you may take it at this figure,
which will, of course, be refunded
when the book is returned" Those
who really wanted the books made no
objection to leaving the deposit, while
those who lazily wanted to avoid a
journey to the nearest library gener-
ally failed to take the loan. The old
tleman's beautiful library was in this
way preserved intact
