A Wonderful old Indy.

Lord Rosebery's mother, the duch-
ess OF Cleveland, is wonderful old
lady. Though she is i'm her eighty
first year she is full of energy and is
a delightful companion. The Lon
don King mentions, as an illustration
of her activity, that she did not in
dulge her love for travel until she
was over 20 years of age, and since
then she has made many a journey,
including a tour to India, the West
Indies and British South Africa. The
duchess was married to the late duke
of Cleveland in 1854, three years after
the death of Lord Dalmeny, Lord
Rosebery's father.

The trials of librarians in city libraries

exercise of even greater patience, says
Youths Companion.

young woman in charge of the free library of
New England village; "and she don't want
a serious one, she says, nor she don't want
a love story, without it's founded on fact.
Nor of course, she don't want anything she S
ever read before"
The librarian tapped her pencil thought
fully on the desk, without trace of de-
spair which a chance listener to this dialogue
expected to see on her face.
Nor she don't want anything that s
chopped up into short stories, she says"
continued the girl, bent on the librarian s
further enlightenment, "and she wants con-
sider'ble going on, and a lot of pictures, ma
does. And she told me partic'lar to say
she didn't want no di'lec' stories; she says
she knows well enough how folks in the
country talk"
Still the librarian thoughfully tapped her
pencil, apparently waiting for further in
structions.
"She wants real sensible book, the kind
grandma likes and like, too," volunteered
mas" emissary; then suddenly she leane
over the librarian. "Say," she whispered,
hoarsely, "if there's one of the Robinson

breath as it was forced from their
heaving chests The veteran of many a
hard-fought jungle battle knew his
own end had come. Up to this time
the battle had been fought in silence,
but as the old gorilla gave up the con-
test and felt the teeth of his antago-
mist sinking deeper and deeper into his
throat, the pain was greater than he
could bear. He broke into a waling
cry that echoed through the iungles.
Again and again the cry rose up and
then finally died out. The fierce, hard
fighting, hard biting younger gorilla
had been working his way through his
antagonists throat and had at last
bitten through the wind pipe. The
great fight was over, and the veteran
of many similar contests had met the
fate he had melted out to others. The
last glimpse l had of the conqueror
was as, with the glare of battle still in
his eyes and covered from head to foot
with his own blood and that of his en-
envy, he marched off in triumph toward
her for whom he had fought SO des.

received communication from the
agent of the Transvaal in Washington,

offer if he would help take charge Of
the wounded Beers, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat. The offer pro-
vides for free passage to the South At
rican republic, with return at the end
of hostilities and bonus of $500 a
month as long as in the service of the
Boer government. 1t is proposed the
doctor shall sail from New York city
to Liverpool, from which port he will
take steamer for the scene of hostili-
ties, landing at Delagoa bay. Until
Delagoa bay is reached the medical
man will be considered an American
subject and will be under the protec-
ton of this government. At that place
he is to renounce all allegiance to the
United States, and will become a sub
ject of the South African republic.
Whether the war last six months or
not, the salary for that period is guar
anteed at the rate of $500 per month.

garity. For clever work, not uncon-
ventional in the ideas it brings, there is
a fair market. The nervous tempera-

certain extent, by the character of his
handwriting. There are certain COM

be free and might perhaps break his
