LITERARY TREASURE TRovE.
Fortunate Find of an English Book Lover at Auction Sale
 in Leeds.

One of those romantic discoveries of literary treasure troVe which one often hears of but somehow has never the good luck to experience has recently befallen a Leeds man, Harold P. Dom. Some five years ago Mir. Dom was at an auction sale in 3riggate, Leeds, when he picked up a battered old volume on Hebrew customs for half crown. He has recently became aware that the book is of considerable value, and on submitting it to Leeds gentle man whose opinion on such matters is of some weight he was informed that the value of his purchase might be esti- mated at between e3o0 and g 5o0.
 The book does not look worth, the money. It can boast only one cover, and the first few pages have disap- peared, says the Jewish World. Its is really three books bound into one vol ume-a book on Roman antiquities; sSeven Books of the Attick Antiqui- ties" and the work on Hebrew cere- monies, which constituted the valuable portion. This is entitled Moses and Aaron Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites Used by the Ancient Hebrews; Ob- served at Much Pain for the Clearing of Many Obscure Texts Throughout the Holy Scripture" There is some more title, but this is sufficient for sample. The book is by one Thomas Godwyn, B. D., whose prefaca is dated 1924, while the date of issue of this edition, the eleventh, is 1875 It constitutes com plete scompendium of Hebrew customs, and is compiled largely from authori- 1jes whose works are now last

Never unless sure of it's ground and the weakness of the adversary does the modern Indian band attack at night. Folsom and his people well knew that. Yet not five minutes after the Indian girl, faint with exhaustion and dread, was carried within doors, the big mastiff challenged again.

mau. ran away and secured situa.
ton as cabin boy and worked my way
up. After had made fair amount
Of money left the river business and
engaged in the commercial business.
Secretary George II. Morgan of the
Merchants Exchange had an ambition
when n boy to become succc ssful
merchant lie became clerk in
country store and later entered a
wholesale dry goods house He en-
gagged in the commercial business and
removed to St. Louis where he was
elected secretary Of the Merchants
Exchange, which position he has held
for ,hirty-iiyc years.
John + Hail, when boy, had a
great ambition to become financicr,
and made his first start in the railroad
business. lie was connected with
number Of roads, and finally engaged
in the grain business His youthful
mind was attracted by banks in gen
cral while boy, and he determined
to possess few later oD in life as
sort Of adjunct to hi= other dreams.
lie has since developed this idea in a
practical way and owns two or three
banks throughout the State.
1t can be seen from this that out of
the entire number mentioned, but few
have realized their actual ambitions
as boys, nc matter whether these am
bitions were Of practical sort or not
Men like John Il. Hall and Sim r.
Price seemed in the first place to have
been attracted by their professions
more on account Of some boyish no.
tion connected there with than any
thing else, and the realization Of their
youthful wish was probably the result
Of sober second thought. Others who
formed wild dreams of what they
would become later on, have drifted
into occupation, some by chance and
some through the natural course of
events. And the average person can
recollect some aspirations Of his own
similar to certain Of those mentioned
by slight effort Of memory.
