There are many people who do not

persons very we'll illustrates how valu-
able is this idea as to what library
should be. The scholar was connected
with an institution of learning which
had been greatly helped by liberal
man of the neighborhood, but the liber-
al man was not much of a sympathizer
with the idea of Increasing the library.
When appealed to in the matter, he re-
piled:
More books? Dear me. it seems to
me you've got more than you can read
now. Have you read all you have al
ready?"
NO" returned the scholar. land /

sort Of yoke which fits down on the

In his place would not be sufficient to
confine a person who struggled.

to watch till the place was empty,
when he actually put himself in, let
ting down the yoke. He soon found.
however, that he was quite unable to
lift it, and 1t at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp AK suspended over
his neck might not be firmly fixed. or it
would fall, as it should, with a touch.
He was afraid to struggle lest the
shaking should bring it down and at
once deposit his head in the basket Of
sawdust below him, into which his
eyes were of necessity steadily look
