TRAVELLING LIBRARIES.

The demand on the State library for
travelling libraries, says the KennebeC
Jou rnal, shows that the reading season
in Maine has commenced in good earnest.
1t was expected during the spring that
there would be quite call for the travel
ing libraries at the summer resorts in
Maine. If that had been the case 1t
would have worked perfectly, as during
the summer there is but little demand in
farming towns for reading matter. In
this way the travelling libraries would
have been in demand the year round.
For some reason there was not such a
call during the summer months, anC
many of the travelling libraries remained
unused. Now that the rush Of farm work
is over the people living In those sections
wish to again take up their reading
where they left 1t of in the spring.
Therefore the demand has commenced
again.
The second year that the trsveling
library plan has been In operation began
Sept. 20. Since then four libraries have
been sent out to the following places:
Shirley, South Gardiner, Caribou and
Lincoln Center. A library Is now being
prepared for Vsassel lhorO and requests ar:
made that libraries be sent to Litchtield
and Kenduskeag.
It is a source Of satisfaction to Librari.
an Carver that the success of his plan for
the States Furnishing good reading
matter to people living where there are
no opportunities for getting the best
literature, is assured.

AN UNUSUAL OFFER 10 WOMEN

AN UNUSUAL OFFER TO WOMEN
In another column appears the an
nouncement of an extraordin ary offer Of
prizes amounting to s17, 900, which Will
be given by the publishers Of The Delin-
Gator. This famous magazine has been
published for twenty years by The
Butteriok Publishing Co., the firm well
known from one end Of the world to the
ether as manufacturers of ButteTick pat
terms.
Taking the fact that next year begins a
new century, The Delineator offers to
distribute 1850 among 1901 women.
The plan is so cleyerly arranged that a
woman living in small town or village
has just as good a chance to win one Of
these 1901 prizes as a woman living in a
city-because the prizes are given for the
number of subscriptions secured in a
town in proportion to the population OF
5hat town, instead Of being given simply
to those who send the largest list of sub
scribers-Which, Of course, are most
easily obtained In big cities.
The plan for distr ibuting the prizes Is
absolutely fair, and solves the problem OF
how to make a prize offer equally attrac-
tive to those who live IN large cities. We
believe this offer will be Of great interest
to all our readers.
