A Generous Offer.

Since coming to Waterbury the Radio-Chen1ic physicians have bene- fited and cured a great many people who testify to the merits of their treatments and remedies. A large number have been unable to secure the services of the X-Ray doctors ow- ing to the crowds who daily thronged the offices. For this reason the offer of free examination is extended to all who apply before April 1. It must be understood that this offer is made i'll good faith, and that not penny will be charged for examination. con- sultation and office.

Cosmopolitan opened at loss of
several points, but the selling by
Blake brokers was not SO heavy as
had been expected, and the stock raj
lied when given support by Morris
and others interested with him. The
young millionaire speedily regained
his courage.
Bid 'em up; bid 'em up!" he whis-
pcred to his head broker. We've got
the Blake crowd on the run already!
They dare not sell. Take all they
offer and bid for more!"
1t was only a moment past ten
O'Clock when General Garden walked
briskly up the marble steps and en-
tered the Morris building. He stopped
at the outer railing and addressed
Mr.. Mason, the Vice-President of the
company.

shares of L. & o. stock" said the gen.
eral, producing an envelope from an
inside pocket.
"Yes?" Mr.. Mason raised his eyes
with faint show of interest, and
tapped the brass rail with a pencil.
80 I understand, General Garden"
Under it's terms | can take up the
stock at a stipulated figure. provided
the market price is above twenty-six
dollars a share"
THAT is the agreement. You owe
us about two hundred and eighty
thousand dollars on that stock, Cen
eral Garden. Do you wish to pay it
to-day?"
A sarcastic smile played around the
corners of MIR. Mason's mouth.
Il do. demand the stock and will
meet the terms in cash." FaH
Very well, General Garden, it can
quickly be arranged"
There was no change of expression
on the grave face of the banker as
he turned to a. clerk and ordered him
to produce the stock from the vaul.s.

CIRCULATING LIBRARIES,
They Were Started by the stationer

= -
They Were Started by the stationera
of the Middle Ages.
The earliest form of circulating Il
brary was the lending out Of books for
hire by stationers Of the middle ages,
but this was Of very limited extent.
In the reign of Henry ", Richard of
Bury, bishop Of Durham, left his valu-
able library for the use of Oxford stu
dents. Two provisions are. very prac-
tical one being that no book was to go
into circulation unless there was a
duplicate; the other, that the borrower
he'd to deposit security exceeding the
value Of the book. 81
Dunfermline, Scotland, established
the first proper library Of this descrip-
ton in I'LL, Edinburgh following In
1925 with one founded by Allen Ram
say The first public one In England
was established In Salisbury by 8
fgysnan, Faneourt, in 1740 This
failed to survive, but offers Id Bath
and at London in the Strand, succeed
ed in becoming popular. Many Londo1
scientific societies established circulat
| ing libraries In the eighteenth century
and in the nineteenth they became fai
more widely spread.-London Globe.
