Lewiston Journal. We have illustra-
ton in this city of the consequences of
the easy-going official and public over
sight of general cussedness. When we
give free course to violation of our law,
the other fellows in other illicit business
think they have equal rights, and SO, in
the name of individual liberty, grog shops,
gambling hells and brothels present the
phenomena of giving the only large divi-
dends of hard tines AS a matter of
fact, when other enterprises are character
lied by small dividends, instead of lax
ty we ought to have concientiousness of
enforcement and permanent divorce be-
tween the ward-boss and the statute
books. The grocer, the dry goods dealer
and the wage workers family are robbed
by social vices.

QUEER LIBRARY FREAKS.
Funny Requests For Books That Amuse

Funny Requests For Books That Amuse
and Amaze Employees.
Once in awhile the clerks in the pub
lie library get hold of a good joke
through the ignorance of people who
come there to take out books. 1t was
not long ago that a woman who was
anxious to join the Daughters of the
American Revolution came there to
look up her family history and get her
facts and claims ready to submit to the
committee ON membership. She went
about it in rather a queer way. After
looking about aimlessly through the in
dex for a time she discovered LOSING
Family History of the United States. "
She wrote her request for the books on
one of the cards provided for that pur-
pose and was quite indignant with the
clerk who handed it to her because it
did not contain what she wanted.
1t was not long after this incident
that another woman, who, from her
dress and appearance, the clerks thought,
might be literary, wrote on one of the
cards request for 1.-THE Autocrat OF
the Breakfast Table.
Holmes 'Autocrat, do you want"
politely asked the clerk.
"Oh, 1 don't care whose it is" was
the reply. II only want to find out if ii

Another request for a magazine which
the applicant said was called Brain

an hour before he discovered that what
was wanted was the magazine called
