"BIC TIM' AN AUTHOR
Sullivan Will Tell In a Book What He Saw In Europe.
SAYS HE WILL AVENGE THE BOWERY
Every Englishman Who Ever Came Here "Put the Boots on Us," He Says, and He Will Return
 the Compliment.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-"Big Tim" Sullivan is to write a book. Why not!'' says the Bowery. "Byrnes wrote book. and the big fellow knows mora good people in a minute than Byrnss ever knew" And so it is all over the Bowery that Congressman Sullivan ia to become an author.
 The book the congressman is to put forth, however, will not mention names It will not be of the Bowery and ita characters. What local color there is in it will be merely by way of con. trasting the various places in New York with London and Paris. It will give Big Tins" views of England and France as he saw them.
 Of course the modesty of the repre- sentative of the Bowery has caused him to evade the question when put di. rectly to him. but to his intimates he has admitted that he desires to see Why We Are Different" by T. D. Sullivan, well bound in half morocco and calf. also in cloth, in most of the east side homes and libraries of the country and hear the comments of tho English papers upon his impressions.
 Why not? said the big fellow. ''Why not? Of course some of the boys don't quite get the idea. This idea of [ book kind of appeals to them because of what Byrnes said about some oi f-,h pttt | nrt ina oh at Byrnes.
 But every Englishman that has been over here has spent couple of days on a rubber neck auto or hiring some tough young fellow to show sights and then gone back home and put the boots to us They have thrown it into the Bowery until the fellows who illus trated some of the books show pictures of the daily murder on the Bowery, with the undertakers waiting for them and shaking dice for the bodies.
 ''I didn't have a great deal of time to make notes myself. but while we were about 1 got Jack McAuliffe tn make a few at my suggestion. Jack is used to making notes. He has seen many book made.
 ''IIe has done most of the sheet writ ing on the book thus far. But what will do. providing I finally decide to do it. is to show just how things are done over there. I want to be fair with them. but at the same time pick out few of the things that our reformers are always using the hammer on and show they are not so bad that they could not be worse.
 "I was treated fine. az well as man could be treated in any country. and do not want any one to get the idea that am going tO abuse any one. and so there will be no flights of fancy l am not going to put down any bet in the first chapter of the book and play it just 70 see how strong it can bs made in the sixth if it goes through

 Whatever your object" Mrs Tryon responded, bit nettled herself, your trouble was useless"
 Do you mean to say that you won't give me the lace?" The visitor was on her feet and her eyes were flashing.
 "You certainly have grasped my meaning" retorted Mrs. Tryon.
 But it's mine. I can't finish my dress without it. Why, it will ruin everything. The dress cost me s2O0, tell you. Surely you'll be lady enough to sell it to me. It only cost you 75 cents" ssi"I couldn't think of parting with it." Mrs. Tryon interrupted Besides, Tin just ready to make it into waist"

 twill you take $15?"
 "Never."
 "You're a vicious, ugly old cat" the visitor snapped, and the door was gen. erously slammed behind her by Mrs. Tryon.
 "Td have let her have it for s15," Mrs. Tryon said as she was telling her husb band about it that evening, If she had only been decent about it. But the hussy insulted me by her superior manner. I'd have liked to make that money, though. Fourteen dollars and twenty-five cents is a pretty good profit to make on one piece of 75 cent lace.

 Yes" Tryon put in. "and you'll never enjoy wearing that waist now because you'll always be thinking how you lost s1l25 by keeping it"
 Well, there's one satisfaction" Mrs Tryon added. thoughtfully. That hussy can't match that lace and she'll have to throw away what she has and buy a whole new trimming That'll cost her s20 or s30"

Since the closing of the saloons on
Sunday in Minneapolis the attendance
at the public library has shown re-
markable increase. Not only the cen
trail library, but all the branches have
been taxed to their, utmost capacity.
Many men who have been in the habit
of spending their Sundays elsewhere
now pass quiet day reading or take
their families to the art gallery in the
central library. The increased attend
ance is gratifying to the library Off
