 out of keeping with her winsome face
 and doll-like figure: but the face was
 so pretty and the chatter so amusing that after time one forgot this disa- greeable impression. Later in the evening, when the other guests had left, I asked my hostess who the ener-
 getic little maiden was. With a half

AN XPOSITiON LIBRaRT.

Perhaps people don't go to "exposi-
 tions" to read but perhaps d good li-
 brary wouldn't be futile feature of an exposition. It is interesting to mo-
 tice that the trustees of the St. Louis Public library have suggested to the management of the St. Louis Exposi- tion the propriety of locating branch library on the fairgrounds, and sub init a good argument in favor of the proposition. They advise the erection of a model library building, suitable either for town or for branch in a city system, to be permanent struct- ure, and to cost about $50,000. They would equip it with from 5000 to 10000 volumes, comprising the best books in every department, thus providing guide for the purchase of the first 5000 or 10000 volumes for a town library. This model library, the trustees argue, would represent the largest and most dSSuCy. u Wouiu perform a much needed missionary work in the South and Southwest whence a large share of the visitors to the Exposition will come, the people in which sections are not thoroughly awake to the importance of the public as an aid to popular education. Finally, the library, with it's reading room supplied with periodicals and papers from all over the world, would provide one of the pleasantest possible places for rest after the fatigues of ght-seeing.
 The library wouldn't be as attractive as "the Midway" but some of the mil lions who will go to the exposition would notice it.

The Annual Meeting of the Library
 Assoc c'ation.
 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier The most notable gathering of the year for Mount Carmel was held on Tuesday evening, November 9th. It was the occasion of the annual meet . ing of the Library Association at the close of its first year of existence. For, with the new century has been started the first free library In the town of Hamden.
 This long town of Hamden adjoin- ing New Haven has proved worthy of it's heritage as being the next neighbor to a University town, by what it has produced in the past, it being the birthplace of Ell Whitney, whose name and achievements are commemorated in the beautiful avenue which extends through the picturesque suburb of Mount Carmel. It also produced the first Agricultural Society in the United States, one of the most prominent or ganizers of which was the late James J. Webb. It's first President was MT. John H. Dickermail, who has ever had the welfare and uphuiding of his na- tive town keenly at heart, and 1t has remained for MT. Dickerman's daugh- ters, Mrs. Homer Futile and Miss Caro- lyn Dickerman, to be the first promot- CTS of free library in the town of Hamden. In 1899 Mrs. Futile secured the New England Travelling Library ya1J ,,p Bridgeport, and placed it at a con venient central point in the village. It was so well patronized that it much needed more generous support and en- largement, and when Mir and Mrs. William Brewster of New York became residents of Mount Carmel it's success was assured. Mrs Brewster became the head of the Association at it's for nation in 1900, by the absolutely unani- nous desire of the society, and her large hearted generosity has placed the project on a substantial and practical basis. It now has pleasant reading rooms, a nucleus for permanent H. brary and many other valuable feat ures, with Miss Laura Dickerman as regular librarian As 1t commences it's second year unQer tne SKllTul manage ment of Mrs. Brewster, assisted by Mrs George A. Morton, Mrs. Homer Futile, Mrs. Lyman Bassett and other we'll known townspeople, 1t promises fund of intellectual enjoyment for the com ing winter.
 One of the most delightful features of the gathering on Tuesday was the beautiful exhibit of Egyptian curios brought by Mrs. Brewster from the land of the Nile last winter, including exquisite embroideries and articles of dress beside a cabinet of curiosities which she has presented to the Li brary. There was also exhibited the work of the class in wood carving | which is conducted by Miss Murdock of Edinburgh, Scotland, under the di- rection of Mrs. Brewster. An address | by the Reverend William Brewster of | Point was full of inspira ton. The sewing class started by Miss 1 Helen Woodruff and Miss Elizabeth | Swift will be continued in connection | with the Library COLUMBIA.

coon LAW ENFORCED


 Betting on the result of an election is not only wicked. but it is also against the law in some places. For instance, in New York, It is encouraging to know that the law against such betting in New York is strictly enforced. Last Tuesday a wicked man there bet box of cigars on the result, and the lynx eyed guardians of law and order saw him and bounced on him. He was taken before a solemn court and the solemn judge looked terrifyingly at him and told him that he could not be per- mitted to cast his ballot, inasmuch as the law provided that whoever was dl- rectly or indirectly interested in any kind of a bet or wager depending on the result of the election thereby lost his vote.
 That was just right It is evident that New York isn't as bad as it has been said to be, and it is also evident that all those stories of big betting which were printed in the New York papers weren't true. They couldn't have been, for the law officers who were viz liant enough to catch and punish the man who bet box of cigars wouldn't have overlooked the men who, according to the printed stories, bet thousands of dollars

.AMBIYIOUS FREN CHM EN.

The French are ambitious. After they have got through with Turkey, or perhaps before, they are going to tackle the United States. The talk is that un- der the inspiration and patronage of M. Millerand, minister of commerce, number of influential Frenchmen are completing plans for the establishment of French industrial school in the United States with the object of teach ing young Frenchmen Yankee methods of manufacture, commercial legislation and the conducting of competition in the business world. In order to realize this unique scheme it Is proposed to award annually twenty scholarships, choosing the candidates from among the more successful pupils in the poly technic school, the school of mines, the school of applied electricity, the school of roads and bridges and, lastly, the "Ecole Centrale," one of the greatest manual training institutions of the continent. The twenty successful com- petitors will then be sent to pursue their studies under competent directors in a school which is to be established in Chicago or New York.
 Probably studious Frenchmen can learn something in this country, but if Frenchmen expect to beat this country at it's own game they are expecting much.
