acOMMENDABLE PLAN

Mr.. Editor: I most heartily COM
mend the following plan Of one of our
merchants. He collects all his old
/ papers and magazines and carries them
to his store. These are distributed to
the operatives from the factory, when
they are up town. This is very
small thing to do; it costs neither
time. nor money; it only requires
little thoughtfulness. But as small a
matter as it may seem, it may have
very fsr-reaching results. The best
thing to do with the printed page is to
| pass it on to others. This far sur.
| passes destroying or storing away in
| the garrets. Others would do a good
| thing by initiating this excellent e1'
/ ample.
Right in this connection, we might
ssv that it was just in this way that
| tho Lsnd-s.Hand libraries were first
organized. All books and periodicals
,ha; had been read and that were not
warte;' were collected into a common
,oou and made the foundation f'r a
public library. This example has been
| Initiated by hundreds OF other cities.
| In many cases these libraries have got
ten large numbers of duplicate copies.
Ian such copies by a fixed rnle are
passed on to other libraries without
them.
1t may also be added that there are
severai organizations for the distinct
pnrpose of collecting old books and
periodicals, which are systematically
distributed among tenants Of the cltle'
and the rural schools. But the pity
Of it is we have to add that nearly
eyery such organization is cup North
However, they can sxistxi
n home and thsJ~ ah0GlQ.-
II those who have old papers or
! books that they are making no use OF
and that they would like to see placed
in the hands Of others, will, through
the aid Of the merchant, who has see Us
all such worthy example, be Pieaseo
to pass them on. Very tru ",

STARTLING PLAY

The bronze Cupid on the purple pedestal
In Lady Summaries drawing room seems
to leer forth like scoffer on the scene of
gaudy luxury spread about him, the world
of degenerates over which he here presdes,
the god of love has turned cynic. The ar
rows of the decadent deity are poised, dip
ped in the venom of ignoble passions.
A talent for mocko@y in witty epigrams,
polished, sneering sarcasm at purity as
the mask of hypocrisy, are here cultivated
as the high virtues.
Under the eye of the bronze Cupid two
women are seated on a diyan. Their bare
shoulders CLEAN in the light of the chan
delier above. 1t is evening. The day of de-
generates Is just beginning. Others are ex-
pected. These two are early risers in this
blase world. One is Lady Saumarez. The
other is the Hon. Mrs. Bennett. They are
talking of the bond of matrimony
'If my married life were unhappy I
should elope," Lady Saumarez says.
but why elope?' asks Mrs. Bennett,
simpering. Its so unnecessary. Why
should a woman sacrifice her settlements
and abandon all decent society, when with
a little tact she can do exactly the same
thing and all decent society will help her
to cover it up?"
"Oh, 1 can't understand that" replied
Lady Saumarez. but 1 can understand a
womans wanting to set all society at de-
fance as the cause of her trouble"

ing permanent offense at me, but held out

"What was the discussion about?'
at was the old controversy. Somebody
mentioned water, and Judge Morgan stated
his opinion that it was something that
ought to be abolished. The major argued
for its use in moderation, but the judge
wouldn't have it. l was sorry to disagree
with the judge, but 1 stated my arguments
and clnched them so that he had to give

achievements which all the world is now
engaged in applauding. 1 reclaled to his
mind the glories of our naval heroes, the
men who are so proud of their country, the
men of whom their country Is so proud.
Then pointed my finger at the judge and
asked him how those naval heroes could
have done these glorious deeds If there

James whftcomb RIley's Joke

From the Philadelphia saturday Posl.
James Whitcomb Riley and Nye were a
peculiar pair. They were eyerlastinsly

1 remember when we were riding together
in the smoking compartment between Co

great smoker, and Mr.. Riley did not dislike
tobacco. An old farmer came over to Mr..
Nye and said: -

the train 's9-t

there"
II knew his father, and 1 would like to
speak with him. s-t
