on the floor above the city jail, and as
result, some of the flora and fauna in

veloped literary tastes that have giyeI
the lady Librarian great deal of uneas
mess lately. 1t has been no uncommon
thing to see the librarian drop her cat
alogue while looking for book, an,
after making a frantic clutch at he
skirts, back blushingly into the refer
ence room and seem for time to forge
all about her official duties. This wor

realized what allied the usually shy ant
reserved librarian. AS a result the Ii
brary has been carefully Isolated from
the Jail below, but in the meantime tn,
meek and lowly tramp fieas have gainet
entrance to the home life of the bes
society in Adrian Grand Rapid
Democrat.
