she could discover about the epIstles
was his statement that he sought for
'harte" to beat responsive TO his own.
1t was no use to say anything further
to Aunt Milly. She was 'sot' in the
matter and loyal to the absent one. A
week later Professor Holden arrived.
He was a distinguished looking man.
AS Susie looked him over she believed
she could distinguish him from most
fakirs by the grease on his hair and the
set of his ready made coat. He was Il
fairly agreeable man Of big words and
eccentric ways. He hadn't come 10

the face of everybody and ask for Aunt
Milly's hand Aunt Florence was in

nothing 10 say. SO it came about that
the lovers pledged themselves. and the
marriage day was set for three months
ahead. Susie's seeming Indifference
was annoying 10 the happy hearted Old
maid. who wanted everybody to rejoice
with her. bS the only explanation she
received was:

WILL OPEN PUBLIC
 LIBRARY SHORTLY
sUPT. PHILLIPS BUSY ARRANGING THE BOOKS IN THE cLTY HALL. WILL MAKE EFFORT TO RAISE $1o,ooo.

The public library and reading room, conducted under the auspices of the board of education. and formerly located in the High school building. will be open in the new quarters in the city hall with in the next few days.
 In the High school the library and reading space was limited and the sur roundings were unattractive. Yet 1t was the best that could be done under the conditions of the boards limited means. The city hall quarters are bright and ample. A suite of well lighted and well shelving for books desks for readers and tables for periodicals have been in- stalled. The reading room is especially attractive and will compare favorably with the best appointed quarters for sini- lar purposes In northern and eastern cities.
 Superintendent J. H. Phillips was busy yesterday afternoon directing the work of classifying the books as they were be- ing placed on the shelves. Dr.. Phillips says that since the library was establish ed about twelve years ago, fully S1o0OO has been expended for books and period icals literature, exclusive of government reports, but now the number does not exceed s0c0.f something like 20oo having been lost or worn out.
 An effort will be made bv the hoard of education to raise by subscription $1o,. 600 for the purchase of new books. The reference books in the library cover a wide range of information and 1t will re. ouire comparatively little money to make the reference department complete. But scientific books. standard fiction and cer- tain historical works are needed and nine or ten thousand dollars could be profta- ply expended in these lines.

Xmas Shopping Season.

The Christmas shopping has begun-and here it is but the end of November. But times changes and men and methods change with them, and no doubt but that every one will hail the inovation. To do your shopping now instead of the later days of December means of course bet ter choice. And it means more comfort.
 Loveman, Joseph & Loeb announced in their Sundays and Mondays advertise ments that the store is in holiday attire, and already they indicate by their in- creased advertising the vigorous policy which has been outlined.
 Special arrangements have been made to store all Christmas purchases made now, if customers desire, and as no charge is to be made, undoubtedly a great many will avail themselves of the privilege.
 Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday will be the informal opening days in the toy department. and as nearly all the Christmas toys are in, these are likely to be busy days indeed. zee

 MT. Smith hitched the horse. after alightning from the buggy. He was gone for some little time, and upon returning the turnout was nowhere to be seen. Ex- animation showed that no part of the hitch rein had been left attached to the post. and so it is thought some one must have united the horse.
