structed the librarian not 20 reserve
books and magazines for mem ers or per-
sons desiring to engage them in advance.
The officers and committee desire to
call the attention OF the mem bers to one
requirement OF the association, namely {:
That any person taking books or maya
zines from the library must return them
to the library to have the number can
ceiied, that Is, the books cannot be
passed to another person and the libra
rian requested to mark them accordingly.
Capt. r. G. r. Candage, of Brookline,
Mass, has ever been a generous and in
terested contributor to the needs OF the
library, and his recent presentation of
twenty volumes OF 1.-The World Classics
Is a very valuable addition TO the list Of
books. Capt. Candage states that this
gift Is to be followed by ten more
volumes, which completes the set. He
also offered to present a large dictionary,
which would be a most acceptable gift.
A vote OF thanks was most heartily ex-
tended to Capt. Candage for his kindness
and generosity.
A vote Of sincere thanks was also ex-
tended to Miss Msude Slower, of New
York. for the fine picture of her father
(tbe late George Siover) which she has
just presented, handsomely framed, to the
library. Mr. Slower donated very nice
furnishings for the new room which the
library occupies in the town hall.
The association is In prosperous con-
ditiou, the books in good order, but there
is always q call and a space for more.

SMART SHORT STORIES.

Many betting men are very suspicious,
and attach much Importance to tlif1fng
omens. The Westminster Gazette tells a
story of a Birmingham gunmaker who

his son reading a book entitled Daniel
O'Rourke's Voyage to the Moon At took

full A gentleman once backed Ellington,
who won the Derby in Sc, from the fact
that he happened to see the "W'' in the
word wellington obscured by the hand
Of g. clock placed over the door Of q
London restaurant It IS also told OF a
commercial traveller that he backed Don
caster through the simple expedient OF
writing the horses names on pieces OF
paper. rolling them into pellets, throw

the one which rebounded farthest, and
which, as 1t happened. held the name OF

Mozart, being once on g. visit at Mar

Torrance of his "Villanella Rapita." He

copying Of the score, sounded a D-natu-

sharp. This substitution did not injure
the harmony. but gave a commonplace
character to the phrase, and obscured the
sentiment of the composer. Mozart no
sooner heard 1t than he started up We
hemently, and, from the middle of the
pit, cried out in a voice of thunder: "Will
you play D-sharp, you wretches!" The
sensation produced IN the theater may be
imagined. The actors were astontshed,
the lady who was singing stopped short
the orchestra followed her example, and
the audience, with loud EXPLANATIONS, de-
manded the expulsion Of the offender. He
was accordingly seized, and required to
name himself. He did so, and at the
name of Mozart the clamOr subsidized and
was succeeded by shouts Of applause
from all sides. 1t was insisted that the
opera should be commenced. Mozart was
Installed In the orchestra and directed
the whole performance. This time the
D-sharp was played in its proper place,
and the musicians themselves were sur
prised at the superior effect produced
