When he said. Those opposed will say Nay,
silence reigned for moment. Light up,

soon repeated in all parts of the building
while soldiers and sailors We'd with each

their incendiary fires. The books on the
shelves of the Library of Congress were
used as kindling for the North Wing and
the much-admired full-length portraits OF
Louis XVI and his Queen, Marie Antoinette,

When the Library of Congress was founded,
in 1900, some of the Democratic Congress
men opposed the idea of Governmental
Library, but Thomas Jefferson strongly
favored it. When the Library was destroyed
by the British, Jefferson was residing In re-
tirement at Monticello, where he had per-
haps the finest private library in the country.
Being in some financial difficulty, he offered
the largest portion of his books, to the num-
Der of 6, 700 volumes, to the Government at
the price which he had paid for them, which
was $40. 100 This offer was accepted and
Jefferson's books became a nucleus of the
New Library. In this sense Thomas Jeffer-
son, it may be said, was the founder of the
Library of Congress, since it was his scholar

and inquiry which led to the first collection
of books.

.CLUB-RAISING
MADE EASY.
DEAR COMRADES:

DEAR COMRADES:
We send sample copy this week to
many who are not subscribers, but who
ought to be, with confidence that the
very liberal inducements we offer at the
present time will induce them to join
THE TRIBUNE family circle without de-
lay, or perhaps get club.
We send also an extra copy to some
of our oldest and most influential sub
scribers. The purpose of this is that they
may have an extra copy to show to
friends, and not wear out their own copy.
Each old or present subscriber who
gets US one or more new subscribers
during the month of August will receive
Off he requests them, postpaid, two
books, "The Cannoneer " and "Captur-
I, ing Locomotive" The new subscribers
will also receive them, and the promise
of these two great books makes it an easy
matter to get their subscriptions.
We know how highly you esteem
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE and how you
work for it, keeping it ahead of most all
other weekly papers in point OF circula-
ton. We know, too, how surprised
some of you are, at times, when you are
getting up clubs, to run across some
! people who do not fully appreciate HE
| TRIBUNE-who, indeed, are inclined to
dispute your statement that it is the best
paper published on the face of the earth.
| Well, there are such people. But let
us tell you this: If you once get them
to take the paper, they soon come around
to your opinion and subscribe year after
year with great regularity.
| Now this situation suggests question:
| Why not offer subscribers such big IN
dueements that the club-raiser will sue
coed with every person solicited?
With this end in view we have
made the offer you will see elsewhere
on this page of giving two large books,
"The Cannoneer and Capturing Q
Locomotive" to everyone who sub
scribes from now till Sept. 1.
We intend, also, to send these two
books with every premium sent to
| CluD-TdlSeI. L uhL Is, III duUitiOu W VIC
premium he works for and earns, whether
it be large or small, We will send these
two books as present. We never forget
old friends when cutting watermelon.
Surely this makes embarrassing easy.
ALI you have to do with persons solicited
to subscribe is to show them the paper
and its attractions, describe the free
books Cor let them read about them In
the paper, and take their dollars.
Remit the dollars, with their full adj
dresses, to us, and we will do the rest /:
that is, we will send to each address the
two books at once and the paper for q
year, and to you we will send the books
also, and the premiums, all postpaid.
All comrades who are at present
working for clubs may offer these two
books to each subscriber. This enables
them to promptly complete the clubs
they are working for, however large.
Comrades, just try for clubs now.
You will surely succeed.
