mere sake of having them. 1 know men
who are laborers who have acquired quite
an education by heading extensively, and
the knowledge they have gained is of a
very wide range and of very miscel-
laneous character. because they have read
as they have felt inclined.
Another class of people who haunt the
secondhand book stalls extensively are
Germans. They are always appreciative of
good books, especially those that are writ
ten in their own language, and as many
of them study along particular lines for
their own amusement they are constantly
in search of some kind of books. The adj
vantage that the secondhand store offers
to such people is that the volumes only
cost them from half to two-thirds what
they are worth when new, and then We
get hold of editions of books that were is
sued years ago and which cannot be found
in the regular bookstores. Often works
that have gone out of print that deal with
some particular subject can be found in
our stores, although it is exceedingly rare
that good book goes out of print.
WHOLE LIBRARIES.
Our endeavor is to buy whole libraries,
but chances of this kind are exceedingly
few In most cases people who have money
enough to collect a library can maintain
ii, for after the books are bought there
is no expense in keeping them A person
L have found who takes the trouble to gath
er books generally does so because he
really wants them, and therefore they Will
be the last thing from which he will part
The greater number of libraries that we
buy are those where the owner has died
and his estate is being divided. 1t is then
often quite a hard matter TO get people
to sell valuable books. AS a general
thing they keep the best and most desira-
BILE volumes to be divided among the heirs,
and that part of the library which is of
no account they will want to dispose of.
The hard part of this business is in the
buying for the average person thinks that
his collection of books is of more value
than it really is. and will sometimes send
for a man to come long distance to buy
it. but when he arrives the lady of the
house will point to a number of shelves
filed with books and show these as the
ones to be disposed Of When the buyer
looks over them and sees a volume which
attracts his attention and takes it down
TO look it over the chances are that the
lady will want to see il. and when Ii is
handed to her she will say that she don't
believe she will sell that one as it is too
valuable. Now, the only reason that she
attaches any value at all to ii is that she
saw the buyer look more carefully over it
than the rest. People in selling books seem
to labor under the impression that maybe
they are selling some rare old gem that
might yield them fabulous sums, whereas
the truth is I don't suppose that there is
such volume in town. I have found
that the less people know about books the
harder they are TO buy from. The reason
for this is that they attach more value TO
them than they are really worth. Take.
for instance, persons who are educated.
They are the ones who know the true value
of books, and they do not want large sums

They Like Chop Suey.
Philadelphia Record.


A young man with flowing hair and a
windsor tie hurried down Ninth street car
rying a tin dinner kettle. 1t looked as
though he was carrying beer in the kettle,
but as matter of fact he was carrying
chop suey. He had been rushing the
growler' in Chinatown. 1t is very common
nowadays in Chinatown to buy chop suey
in pail and take ii home and men and
women with kettles are to be seen passing
In and out of the Oriental colony at any
hour. For the curious who have never
visited Chinatown nor tasted its most
popular and filling food, the following
recipe for chop suey is appended: Put
three tablespoonfuls of peanut oil in a pan
Add few thin slices of fat pork and fry
slowly. Add a chopped onion, water
enough to moisten, and a seasoning of
mushroom and bean sauce. Boil ali ten
minutes. Then add a handful chopped
mushrooms. and an equal quantity of
water, nuts. beans, celery and shredded
bamboo. Stir In cloves, chopped garlic
salt and pepper to taste, and cook until
all are tender. The more unusual in
gradients, such as the bamboo and the
peanut oil, cen be bought in any Chinese
shop.

books coming out all the time, and in them

POWDERLY TURNED DOWN
President Offers His Place to Frank
p, Saruent.


Washington, March 17.-President
Roosevelt has decided not to reappoint
T. v. Powderly commissioner general
Of immigration, because Of the fact
that he did not work in harmony with
the secretary of the treasury, and also
because of the repeated investigations
which have had to be made by the
treasury department since he assumed
office.
Frank P. Sargent, chief of the Broth.
erhood Of Locomotive Firemen, has
been rendered the place. and, while 1t
is believed he will accept, the presi,
dent has not yet heard from him.
1t Is the intention Of the president
to make a general shake-up inNthe
Office of the commissioner Of immigra.
tion at New York, and Commissioner
Fitchie and Deputy Commissioner Nc.
Sweeney are to be relieved. The
president Is determined that the re-
peated complaints to the department
about this bureau shall cease, and he
believes that Mr.. Sargent, because OF
his executive ability, is the person to
make the necessary reforms and thor
oughly reorganize the service.
Mr.. Sargent was also offered the
commissionership at New York, and
It is understood he can accept either
the commissioner generalship or that
of commissioner at New York. which
ever he prefers.

1t is said that two million bushels of potatoes
have been brought into the United States from
foreign countries since November 1st-a some
what surprising condition of affairs when it is
considered how much more land we have to raise
them on than have those countries from which
they are imported, and which evidently find this
profitable market at present prices in spite Of

PRINCE HENRY SPEAKS OF TRIP
Never Worker Harder In His Life as
When In United States.

Cherbourg, France, March 1S.-The
Hamburg-American line steamer
Deutschland, having on board Prince
Henry of Prussia and his suite, ar.
rived here at Gas p. m. yesterday,
from Plymouth, England.
Prince Henry says that he was so
tired when he finally boarded the
Deutschland at New York. that he slept
almost continuously for 48 hours, ex-
cept for the time he appeared for his
meals or to take short walks on the
bridge. He says he never worked so
hard in his life as when he was in the
United States, that he never changed
his. uniform SO many times day or
faced a succession of situations re.
quiring such alertness and q certain
were situations which could not be
met with merely formal behavior or
the mechanical execution of routine
programme.
While conversing with members Of
his suite, Prince Henry has alluded to
many things in connection with his
trip. He has mentioned nothing more
frequently than that no single un'
pleasant incident occurred in the Unit.
ed States. Ideas, scenes and impres.
sions were crowded upon him too ra.
pidly for proper appreciation at the
moment, perhaps, but as Prince Henry
himself said: I'VE have accumulated
material to think about for months to
come"
When one of his party inquired what
had impressed him most, the prince
replied that the great, orderly and
cheerful crowds had been his most
continuous impression and would prob
ably always be one Of his most vivid
Impressions. The prince said he saw
crowds out OF doors and indoors
faces of men and women, with here
and there powerful, beautiful or q
spiritual face. He said his regret, II
he dared to say he had any, was that
he could not know some Of those peo
pie better.

Probably nine out of ten men past middle life,
If aSAea bow It happens that they are today only
barely earning their living, would tell you they
never had . chance; that they were kept back,
that circumstances were against them; that they
had ND opportunities such as other boys around
them had, or that they did not have the proper
schooling or else plead some other excuse.
The probabilities are that opportunity did visit
everyone Of these men more than once in their
youth or early manhood, but they did not see
that all good chances consist in doing everything
they undertook cheerfully, promptly and just as
we'll as it could be done.
As boys they did not look on every errand as
a chance to be polite, prompt energetic; on every
lesson in school as a foundation stone in their
success;structure. They did not think that the
demoralizing hours of Incidence and shiftlessness
which they were weaving into the web Of their
lives would mar the fabric forever, and reproach
them through all time. They did not realize
that the impudent reply to their employer, the
carelessness and Indifference which they slipped
into their tasks would come out as ghosts, in the
future, to mar their happiness and success.
They looked upon every duty shirked, the
minutes they cut Oft from each end of day as
so much gain. They did not realize that these
things which seemed so innocent would grow in
to giant defects which would mar their future
success.
They did not think their slipshod methods,
their careless attire, their aggressive manners,
would lie as great bars across the track Of their
future success, and keep them back from the
goal of their ambitions.
They did not think that all these things were
the real causes of their being fixtures at salaries
Of ten or fifteen dollars week.
They did not think these seeming trifes in
youth would doom them to be perpetual janitors,
clerks or farm hands, and it would be almost
impossible in maturity to outgrow the defects Of
their youth.
