strange and Interesting History of
Count Libri's Acquired
Library.

Probably the most audacious and
successful book thief that ever lived
was Count Libri of Florence, who, emil
grating to France, became in 1912 sec
rotary Of a government commission TO
examine and catalogue the books and
manuscripts in the many communal
libraries OF the country. Awaiting him
self of his opportunities, of the care
lessness and ignorance OF the custodi-
ans, and consummate knowledge of
the treasures unveiled TO him, he quiet
ly and leisurely despoiled the Libraries
of hundreds OF their choicest manu-
scripts and most precious heirlooms,
carefully obliterating afterward all
signs that might lead TO their identified
ton.
How the collection thus acquired
came into the possession Of the late
Lord Ashburnham; by what means
Libris robberies were afterwards dis
covered and traced back 10 him; to-
gether with the recent sale OF the library
at a stupendous increase of price, and
the methods by which the French gov
eminent finally recovered portion OF
their long-lost treasures, form a most
remarkable and romantic chapter in lit
erary history.

The morning of May 80 was as bright
and clear as anyone could ask. The
country people in the part of the coun-
" where the Walkers lived always made
the day holiday day devoted TO the
memories OF the brave men who fell In
the civil war. Many of them had friends
and relatives buried on the battlefields
Of the south, but there were but few
soldier graves in the little churchyard
cemetery at home. What few there
were, however. received the offerings
OF the entire community.
As Hiram Walker came In from the
barn after doing the chores of the MORN
ing his wife asked how soon after dim

When the old folks died the farm OF
more than 200 acres was left TO Hiram
and Josiah Walker, TO be divided equal
ly or worked together, as the brothers
might choose. For several years they
farmed their land together, and then
Hiram married. After that the lnnd
was divided, Hiram taking the part on
which the home stood for himself ard
his bride, and Josiah was TO make his
home with them.
Added To the ties OF blood were the
ties of comradeship on the battleflelds
OF the south, and they seemed INSOFAR
able. Nothing, IL seemed, could come
between them. They assisted each 9TH
er in their work, they shared each 9TH
er's earnings; they made IL point TO
plant at the same time; they reaped
their crops at the same time. and they
sold the products OF their farms TO the
same men. Their lives were the happy
ones OF peace and good will.
And then came a time OF doubt, OF
hard words, and all the comradeship of
the past was forgotten.
IL was in the winter time, and both
brothers were fattening hogs for mar
ket. The pens in which their hogs were
kept adjoined, and day after day they
had stood together and remarked about
the condition of the stock. One morn
ing as Josiah came out TO the barnyard
he found his brother counting his hogs,
and as he reached his side Hiram turned
20 him and said:
Josh, there's board loose and one
OF my shoats has worked its way into
your pen. / think it's the spotted one
in the corner there"
Guess you're mistaken, Hiram
that's my pig; this old SOW here is his
mother. You'll have 10 look again, Hi
ram, to find your shoat."
"But I guess know my shoat when
! see II, Josh, and / tell you that spot
ted pigs mine. I'll git In an catch II
and put II back in my pen"
you'll do nothin' Of the kind. That
spotted pigs mine, tell you, an you'll
let IL alone where IL Is. don't believe
you've lost a shoat, anyway"
And so the quarrel started. a pig
that either would have gladly given the
other had ne asked II was TO come be-
tween them.
AZ his first opportunity Hiram car.
The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1898-05-28

ried out his intention OF putting the pig
into his own pen, and In less than "a
hours afterwards he was arrested on
q warrant sworn out by his brother.
The case went through the justice
court with decision for Josiah; when
appealed to the grand jury the decision
was the other way. At n retrial the de-
cision was again reversed, and then IL
went to the state courts, where IL was
tried time after time, until now IL had
reached the supreme court, and Hiram
hoped TO have the last decision against
him reversed.
During the progress of the case both
brothers had become heavily involved
in raising the money needed TO pay
court and attorneys fees. Hiram's
farm had been mortgaged, his crops
sold to pay the same kind OF bills. The
needs OF his family had counted for
naught against this legal monster. His
boy had left school that he might take
the place OF a hired man and so save
that expense, as well as that incurred
by his schooling. The daughters had
done without the clothes they were ac-
customed TO. They and their mother
had worked over their old ones until
they would bear no more, and then
came this plea for just $50 more. Every
plea of this kind had promised 10 be
the last one since the case was first
started, and "Ma" Walker had finally
rebelled.

In the dark days of '61 three brothers
responded 10 President Lincoln's call
for troops. They came from a quiet
farm home in one of the northern coun-
ties of Indiana. All of them left home
for the battlefelds with a mothers
blessing on their heads, but the mothers
heart went out especially to the young
est, "her baby" He was but boy OF 10
TO whom the hard work Of the farm had
always been more of burden than his
frail body could bear, and for that rca-
son he was made much Of by the other
members OF the family. But men were
needed, her sons thought it their place
TO 60, and IL was not her part TO stand
In the way OF their duty TO their coun-
try.
Month after month wore away. The
mother watched anxiously for each
mail, and was occasionally rewarded
with a letter, always from her baby"
He told her OF his brothers, of the army,
of their camp life, of their marches and
their battles, but of himself he told her
little except that he was as well as usual.
But the mother read between the lines.
The hardships OF campaigning was
wearing away "hcr baby's" health, and
how she longed for him.
And then one day letter came from
Hiram. His brother, the mothers
baby" was i'll, and they would send
him home TO her. She could feel al

would nurse him, and by the tirne the
war was over he should be well again.
But the mothers hopes were not 70 be
realized. Her baby" came home TO her
only TO be taken away again forever.
She watched beside his bedside; she did
all the many little things that only a
mother knows how to do, but without
success. Long before the war was over
they had laid him in the little cemetery,
and his furlough was extended into
