is a handsome little home of eight
rooms, and we'll suited for the purposes

One of the special means of popular

vannah branch of the Phillips & Crew
Co., is the series of complimentary re-
citals which they, under the direction
of Local Manager John S. Banks, have
been giving ever since the Phillips &
Crew Co. entered the local piano trade.
These recitals have proved very pop
ular. as the house has been unable, on
several occasions, to accommodate the
larSe crowds which attend AS a
means Of bringing the best class of
prospects to them, Mr.. Banks pro-
pounces these complimentary recitals
excellent.
The quarters of the Phillips & Crew
Co. are located in No. 10 West Perry
street, and are divided into three par
lors, in the first of which they have
the Steinway and the Knabe pianos,
while the second is devoted to the
Chickering and the Fischer pianos. The
third section of the store is used for
their offices, which are quite hand
somely furnished and in keeping with
the other parts of the warerooms.
The Phillips & Crew Co. opened their
branch here April l, under the man
agement of John S. Banks. who was
formerly with the Ludden & Bates

man of sterling qualities and has in

Though no decision has actually
been reached by the Elk's committee
appointed to consider the ADVISABLE
ty of building a home for the organ
ization, there is little doubt that the
decision will be in favor Of building;
in fact members of the committee are
even now looking out for a suitable
site for it.
The new home, when completed, will
contain, too, a number of attractions
that the present quarters lack. Chief
of these will be a gymnasium, which
it is planned to have take the place
of a cafe or d buffet. Other attrac-
tons will be decided on later, when
the plans for the home are more near
ly complete.
To secure a nucleus for the fund

Greatest Book Thief of avn.

Probably the most audacious and
successful book thief that ever lived
was Count Libri of Florence, who,
emigrating to France, became in 1912,
secretary Of government commission
to examine and catalogue the books and
manuscripts in the many communal
libraries of the country. Availing him
self of his opportunities, of the care
lessness and ignorance of the custodi-
ans, and a consummate knowledge of
the treasures unveiled to him, he quiet
ly and leisurely despoiled the libraries
of hundreds of their choicest manu-
scripts and most precious heirleoms,
carefully obliterating afterward all
signs that might lead to their identifica-
ton.
How the collection thus acquired
came into possession of the late Lord
Ashburnham; by what means Libri's
robberies were afterward discovered
and traced back to him; together with
the recent sale of the library at a stu
pendous increased Of price, and the meth
DDS by which the French government
finally recovered a portionJo their long
lost treasures, form most, remark

Rain and the Hay Product.


Every farmer strives to get his hay
beyond the washing influence of rain
as soon as possible. Rain water may
dissolve and remove more than 10 per
cent of the dry matter of hay, and
what is thus removed may represent
quite 20 per cent of the feeding value
Half an inch of rain means some fifty
tons of water per acre, and If the crop
be equally spread over the ground, it
is, of course, subjected to the whole
of the washing influence Of this guam
tity Of water. But if the crop be put
into cocks that occupy only one-tenth
of the area, it follows that the hay
will be affected by only one-tenth of
the rainfall, that is to say, by five in
stead of fifty tons of water. Not only
does water actually wash out much Of
the soluble and most valuable constit-
uents Of hay, but it also removes the
aroma, and leaves the crop much less
appetizing as food for stock. The
color, too, suffers, and with it the sell
ing value.-Massachusett Ploughman.

Bessie's Buttons.

Bessie was learning to sew on but
tons. Her mother had marked the
places where they We're to go, and
Bessie was sitting beside the open
window sewing them on her new dress
They were pretty white pearl, with
little stars cut on every one. Bessie
just loved to look at them as they lay
arranged in a row on the window sill,
shining in the sunshine.
'I've sewed on three" said Bessie;
and she reached out her hand for the
fourth, when in some way she knock
ed six Of them out Of the window.
"Dear me!' she said, now I shall
have to go out and pick them up. I
hope I'll find them ALL" So she took
off her thimble, laid the dress across
a chair, and ran out into the yard.
Somebody was there before her, and
had picked them up, every one. Mr..
Toots, the big, snow-white rooster, was
standing under the window, and the
last button was disappearing within
his beak when Bessie came around the
corner.
Now Bessie was very fond Of Mr..
Toots. He was quite tame, and when
ever she caught him she would lay her
