FILLED ALL REQUIREMENTS.
She Wanted a Real Sensible Book and
She Took Robinson
Crusoe.

The trials of librarians in city Libraries
have often been cited; those OF the guardl-
ans of small country libraries are OF dit
ferent ch 7acter, but require perhaps the
exercise even greater patience, says
YOUTH npanion.
MA It's you should pick her out a
book" saiu freckle-faced girl to the bright
young woman in charge of the free library OF
a New England village; "and she don I want
1 serious one, she says, nor she don 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 a trace OF de-
spair which chance listener to this dialogue
expected to see on her face.
Nor she don't want anything that $
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 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
"ma's" emissary; then suddenly she leaned
over the Librarian. Say" she whispered,
hoarsely, "f there's one of the Robinson
Cruzo books in ma said you'd better gimme
that"
Certainly" said the librarian, pleasant,
ly, and a moment later the well-thumbed
copy of the famous adventures had changed
hands, and the happy possessor of it de-

the Sisters of the Good Shepherd
are known. Not only do they minister
to the spiritual and intellectual needs of
the charges committed to their care,
but they also minister to their bodily
needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease.
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never-failing safeguard.

Hog raisers should be looking for
ward to the hog pasture for next year
and preparing for it. 1t often takes as
much time to Plan successfully as to
execute successfully, hence we cannot
begin too early to plan for the new
campaign. 1t is a mistake to suppose
that any one kind of grass or plant
will serve as hog pasture all through
the year. A number of forage plants
should be available. The first of these
is blue grass, which comes in in the
spring and will carry the hogs forward
to the time the young clcyer is high
enough TO eat. When the clover gets
too old to be succulent, there should
be field of rape availa BILE, and after
that may come COW peas in sections
