Microscopical and chemical experts in
Chicago have decided after thorough in
v~estigation that it is not necessary TO dis
infect books in the public library. "It is
extremely improbable they say in a re-
port, that disease germs should lodge be-
tween the leaves of a book and retain their
vitality for any length of time under the
ordinary circumstances of use of public
library books" 1t is comforting TO learn
that there is some place where disease
producing bacteria do not Turk.

There is reason to believe that in spite of

One of the Greatest Americans.

Chicago. Chronicle.
General Benjamin Harrison was one OF
the greatest Americans of the latter part
of the late century. He was conservative
and an ideal patriot. He was among the
first of our national orators. He had in 4
superior measure the sublime gift of COM
mon sense. He was an honest man in
every way and walk of life. He detested
dishonesty even when his best friends
were politically involved. His name Will
go into history as that of one of the best
American Presidents, a patriot without
guile and a statesman of unsullied fame.

General Harrison was not, as President,
a corspicuously brilliant administrator but
he possessed in an eminent degree the quail

He was safe. In his public utterances this
quality dominated. He expressed, with
