Tales Of Yankee E%nChantment,
AMINADAB SKtLCH AND HIS FREE LIBRARY.
The Story of a Really Good Boy With a Defective Moral
Sense.
Bv Charles BatteII LOOMS.

,minadab Skelch had a defective
moral sense. but You must not blame
A.m for it too harshly. What could
any one expect of II boy who, having

WAS too Young To protest. Ol course
tho bovS called him Dab or Dabby for
.L,rt ar else Amen which WAS just aS
lad and he i certainly entitled to
some consideration on that account. If
lr had been called GaUdenSiuS Stew
arr or AIcihiadcS Montrosc he might
h,yn been Il very noble little fellow but
the name Of Aminadab prepared people
for The worst. .And yet he was not
the worst ny any means. lie had Il
love for the hcIutiful and he liked 10
da little kindne>Se~ for people and he
WAS generous to Il fault. tbs chef
falling was that he did not know the
difference between mine and thine and

bic that am about TO describe.

Of a building more pretention> than =

bindings seemed to him like fairy
palaces and ne determined when he
returned 10 Nullinsvillc to build Il
handsome library ana present il To his
fellow toWnsmen.
II is proper at this point to say that
while .Aminadab did not boast any ac-
0uaintanceShjp with the fairies. he did
have a strength that WaS little short OF
supernatural. He was 50 strong that lie
could pull young Saplings from the
earth with one hand and could raise
Il six hundred pound bag OF meal n

bag of salt. Reside this he was re-
markably handy. He was own cousin
on his mothers side to the boy who

good moral sense he would have gone

he came inside and sat down in the

At moor of the fourth day the boy had
finished everything but the front doors
and he was puzzled to get them. lie
wanted something handsome, but he
didn't think that he was able to make the
doors with the few tools ut his com

going Ia make ii all myself and | don't
see why | can't help myself to material
wherever | can find it,"
Now, as YOU and / know. this was
very wrong. but I'm not telling YOU
what ought to nave happened. but what
did happen to a little New Jersey boy
who didn't know any better.
First he selected Il plot of ground on
which to build the library. This was
next door to the Slmmer residence OF Il
man who had gone to New York for
The winter and it was part of his land.
hen people saw Aminadab digging for
the foundations they did not stop him
for IL WAS none OF their business and
besides. for all they knew, he had re
ceIVed permission from Mr.. IIanler-
ton. the owner. As ] neglected to say.
-Amlnadab was an orphan and not an
swerable to any one.
OF course. TO such Il strong and handy
boy the work of digging a cellar thirty
by nifty feet was not a thing TO keen,
him busy long and by nightfall of the
day he had started it, it was all ready
for the mason work.
1t would not be very interesting TO tell
YOU how he mixed his mortar and did
all the other prosy things that go to the
making Of a house. The remarkable
thing IS that he got every stone that went
into the building Of that library from the
stone walls OF the adiacpnt countrx ~

-Aminandab seized the good mans
hand and wrung il and a few minutes
later hc was on his way home. and

What be had taken and that one was an
old fellow who had miles on miles Of
stone fences and from whom the boy
had taken one stone. He insisted 81 it,
being returned to him and as it was the
bottom stone in the foundation wall.
Dabby had a hard time getting It and
plenty of time To reflect on his mi>doiU-S.
1t is a singular fact that after the
library was dedicated There was no one
who spent 80 much time in il IL this
obi man who had refused to contribute
4 single stone towards its erection.
The day of the dedication was made Il
holiday in AIullinsville and every one in
