Other motives besides a love of indiffer-
ence to rare hooks may influence these
younger generations The Englishman now
adays must gamble or die. He bets on every
possible chance under the canopy. What is
quite such a gamble as a book-sale? Who
given books and the gamblers instinct, can
resist the temptation? The less a man
knows about book values, the more delight
full the uncertainty as TO whether the sale
will bring together eager bidders. or will
prove one of the dull days at the auction
room. Will il leave him I'm debt for the cost
of cataloguing, or fetch him enough TO buy
a yacht? On our side where We do not so
uniformly feel the need of gambling out Of
business hours. but where the daily papers
report weekly or daily the phenomenal
prces paid for tiny pamphlets or meek
looking first editions, the idea is borne in
on the family that fathers library is a
treasure house. a thing not TO be lightly
parted with. The library is kept in the
house to increase in value with age, as
wine is kept in the cellar.

Tolstoi's new novel, "Hadji Mourat"
which he has just finished, deals with mil

seems to be perfectly well, and is working
harder than ever
Mr. w p Firth, the veteran Royal
Academician. relates that when Dickens
sat to him for his portrait he arrived at
the studio wearing a large sky-blue over
coat with bright red cuffs. Il protested
that i could not manage the overcoat"
says Mr.. Firth. and Dickens, with great
docility. agreed 10 abandon this favorite
article of apparel, remarking in explanation
of its gaudy appearance that he was very
fond OF color.
Since Maarten Martens no Dutch writer
of Importance has been introduced to the
American public. and Maarten Martens
was an exception because he deliberately
chose for the sake of the greater glory
to write in English. But new Dutch nov
elist, Frederick Van Eden, is now to be
brought forward by an English version of
his story, THE Deeps of Deliverance." He
is much liked in Holland. and the curious

The Literary Collector.
a London paper has been rejecting sadly
on the fact that so many Englishmen are
parting with their ancestral libraries-the
pride in great collections which their
fathers felt weighing nothing against the
other interests for which they want the
money invested in the treasures of the
bibliophile. On the other hand. a down
town bookseller recently explained in part
the fading away of some OF the little old
shops that used to be tucked into corners
in lower New York. by saying that mems
families were getting out OF the habit of
selling their books soon as the owners
departed this life, so that fewer good col
lections now fell into the hands of the small
book seller.

There is Trinity tree on the Sterling
Junction Methodist camp grounds conse-
Grated to religion, and the names of it is
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. II is what
might be called a triple tree, for the three
branches spring from the same root at the
ground, and they got the names by which
they have been known all through the
half century since they were raised by
Father Taylor, who was honored and re-
vered by the Methodists who assembled on
the camp grounds at the first meeting.
The christening of the tree by these
names occurred on one of the days of the
meetings fifty years ago, when Phineas
Crandall was the presiding elder, and one
of the witnesses to the ceremony is Chap
man Wallis truckman, IS Eastern avenue,
who has never missed attending camp
meeting since that first year.
Mr. Wallis took a Telegram reporter to
the spot where the Trinity tree is and told
this story in regard to it:
"Phineas Crandall was presiding elder of
the camp meeting that year. and / can

converted at a little meeting conducted

Ambergris is generally found float
ing on the surface OF the sea, and
very different ideas have been enter
tanned as TO its nature and origin. 1t
appears, however, that so early as
the middle OF the sixteenth century
it was known to have some CONNIE G !.
ton with whales, although tha ma.
ture OF this connection was not fully
realized. One writer, for instance, 10
describing sperm whale stranded
on the Norfolk coast, expresses his
surprise at not finding ambergris in
it's stomsch. Although the idea that
ambergris is swallowed by the sperm
whale 10 erroneous, the writer in
question was quite correct in re-
garding that substance as pertain
ing to this particular species OF
cetacesn. The fact that it contains
the horny beaks OF squids and cut
ties belonging to species that form
the food OF the gigantic sperm whale
or caohelot 10y far the largest OF
the cetaceans furnished with teeth),
is alone sufficient to indicate that
it is a produce OF that monster. And
from time to time it is actually
found in the slimentary canal OF
that whale. 1t appears, indeed, to be

Change in Management.

Mr.. E, R. Stanley who recently &C.
copied a position with Geo. Hogan,
leased the opera house of J. D. Good
this week, and will have exclusive
control during the coming year. Mr..
Stanley is an experienced show man
having been in the business for a
number of years. He was at one time
advance man for the Buffalo Bill
show, and latter for the Jay in New
York company which recently ap-
peared at the Morris opera house.
During the season Mr.. Stanley IN
tends to have only one show a week,
but that a good one. He also intends
to back up the assertion that # any
attraction which he brings to Morris
is not first class the price of admission
will be refunded at the box office.
The sale of peanuts and candy will
not be allowed in the building. Mr..
Stanley is familiar with every crook
aud turn in the show business, and
we fell safe in predicting that he will
give the people Of Morris a better
class of attractions than ever before,
if they will stand by him.

The School for Scandal.

An amusing anecdote is related of
Richard Brinsley Sheridan the author
of The School For Scandal who is
considered one of the greatest wits
the English speaking world has ever
produced. The Drury Lane Theatre
of which he was the owner was
destroyed by fire in February 1909.
Sheridan was in the House of Com
mons when he learned the fire had
broken out. He fastened to the
scene and with wonderful fortitude,
witnessed the'distruction of his pro-
perty. He sat On the piazza of the
Coffee House taking some refresh.

him how calmly he bore his ruin

man might be allowed to take a
glass of wine at at his own freside."

sufficient proof that the only way to
control the trusts was by republican
legislation. He also demonstrated
that the Mckinley Bill was not re-
sponsible for the high prices, but
that the price of commodities is reg.
ulated by tbs demand.
After thorough discussion Of the
issues Of this and the coming cam
paign, which, owing to the lack of
time, we are unable to enumerate,
the senator closed his remarks with
a handsome tribute to President
Roosevelt, and the influence he ex-
erted in bringing about the settle
ment of the coal strike, as we'll as
the other important questions that
have been carefully solved during
the past year, and admonished his
hearers to stand by the republican
policy Of protection as the only pro-
lection to industry. and remedy for

the issues that confront the people in
the coming election. Are we going
to stand by the man who has guarded
the peoples interest to the best of
his ability, Or will we elect governor
who is backed by the great railroad
interests and the Western Securities
company. He also contrasted the
underhanded methods that have
been adopted by the democrats in
this campaign in attacking the per-
sonal character of Gov. Van SAINT,
with the issues on which the governor
is making his campaign. 1t has been
proven that Gov. Van SAINT pays
taxes in Iowa, and why the St. Paul
Globe, the merger paper, will persist
in lying about the matter and resort
ing to such foul methods of COM
paigning, is something for which the
democratic leaders will have to
answer, before the people will be
made to believe that the proper thing
to do is to elect the Northern Securi-
ties company for two years term at
the state capitol.
The senator than took up the
national issues anG opened his re-
marks with discussion of the great
issue, imperialism. He demonstrated
conclusively that the Philippine
policy adopted by the government is
purely of an unselfish motive, and
not for revenue. That the motive
which prompted the American govern
ment to take the action they did in
the Spanish war was purely of
diplomatic nature, and the greatest
sacrifice that any nation has ever
made, with no view whatever to
conquest. That the government which
has been launched in the Philip pines
when projected, will result in the
birth of a new republic where
previous to the Spanish-American
war was naught but Spanish misrule
and oppression.
The speaker than turned his at
tention to Cuban reciprocity. His
convincing argument was sufficient
proof that only the sugar trusts
would be benefited by the passage of
such a measure. The trusts and tariff
revision also received tn cir share of
attenti1n. and the speaker cited a
number of instances which were

Manager Stanley of the opera house

Opera company for Monday evening,

way of amusement, not often afforded
them in a town of this size. This is
the first opera company that Morris
has ever had. We can personally
recommend this company as being
first class in every respect. 1t is
city production worthy of packed
