old acquaintance Samuel Terrin, whose
knowledge of bookshelf books-is, or
rather was, for he passed over TO the
great majority last year, something ex-
traordinary. He could do more won
derful things with books than Prof.
Hermann with dozen eggs and a new
silk hat. He professed to know 10000
books by their shape and weight. That
is, provided they were old books; for
new books had no value in Terrill's
eyes. New books, he was wont to say,
lacked character.
One day friend of mine who wasted
his substance at book auctions was
passing Terrilrs shop, carrying under
his arm some prize that he had just
bought; it was rather rare book-a
copy of the first edition of Lambs
Farewell to Tobacco printed in Lon
don in 1928.
Struck a prize?", growled Terriu,
glancing up from his seat near the open
door.
Yes" said my friend; land II bet
you a dollar you can't tell what; it's a
book you don't often see."
"Ahl" said Terrill, taking the parcel
and feeling the book inside. ''Will you
give me a dollar if tell you the name
in three guesses?"
"Done," said my friend.
Terrin turned it over, weighed it in
his hand, squeezed it in all directions,
smelt it. Finally:
eff it isn't the third edition of Bryon's
Bride of Abydos,' it's the first edition
OF Lambs Farewell to Tobacco
Ever since 1 heard this remarkable
story 1t had been one of my amuse-
ments to test Terrill's knowledge in q
variety of ways, sometimes with sue
cess, sometimes without. The wizened
old fellow now glanced at the book un.
der my arm.
''It's not find" said, in answer tC
his glance. Its only bound volume OF
an old magazine"
"Ah, yes" said he, undoing the paper
and looking at the book Its rart

An advance of 81 per thousand feet on
all grades of white pine lumber will go
into effect on Thursday Of this week. The
GIob last week announced that this
advance would be made on the 1st of Sep
TENDER. Since the announcement the lum-
bermen have come to the conclusion that
they will have to advance the price right
away.
A nmber of the biggest lumber concerns
in the city sent out postal cards yester-
day cenceling all previous quotations and
the remainder of them will notify their
customers and statesmen today. None of
the Iumbermen will sell at the old list
price at the present time.
The manufacturers claim that the adj
vances are warranted by the conditions of
trade. At the beginning Of the present
year the stock of lumber in the Minnesota
and Wisconsin valleys was 500,000,000 feet
smaller than at the opening of the pre-

UNIVERSITY TO BUILD.
Site Has Been Secured for a New

The University of Minnesota yesterday
purchased a piece of land on Washington
avenue south just below Cedar avenue
for site for the new clinical building
which is to be erected at once Two lots
were secured, the price paid being s., OO0
A first-class clinical building, to accom-
modate both the allopathic and homeo-
pathic free dispensaries, will be built at
cost of $4,000, making the total cost of
the improvement $4,000.
The university has long been in need of
such a building, the former free dispen-
sary being situated in unsatisfactory
sites, and not being as modern as de-
sired. The college of medicine is also in
need Of the room occupied by the alIo-
pathic dispensary in the medical build
ing. The homeopathic dispensary has
been and is now located at the corner of
Washington and Thirteenth avenues
south in an old frame structure
The clinical building will be completed
by the LIST of November The contract
will be let some time the latter part of

Gen. Harrison Grey Cannot Agree
With the Ground Robin"

CHICAGO, July 1S-In an interview to-
day Gen. Harrison Grey Otis declared his
inability to agree with the round robin"
issued by newspaper correspondents in
the Philippines. Gen Otis is on his way
to Los Angeles, having been in Wash
ington, where he had conference with
the president. He said.
Gen. Otis should be heard from be-
fore the round robin is discussed as to
its fairness. The commanding general
has not been unduly optimistic-rather
the opposite. 1 know of cases where he
had opportunities of making highly favor
able reports of his military operations
but modestly refrained from doing So.
He and his officers do not look with favor
on newspaper reports, which, with all in
tentions of being fair, are apt to be ex-
aggerated. 1 am satisfied that the official
reports from Manila in regard to our kill
ed and wounded, as we'll as to deaths
from disease, have been accurate. 1 have
noticed nothing in the newspapers to in
dicate that there was any desire to sup
press information of this kind
Gen. Otis has the situation we'll in
hand, as he has stated. From an army
of 10000 mep the insurgents have I'M
doubtedly been reduced to a scattered
10000, and Aguinaldo's capital is on the
back of a pony. What Otis started out
to do he has done. He holds Manila and
all the strategic positions which he need
ed while the rebel force is held apart"
