The End of Books.

What brings about the end of books
Is it fire, water, worms? AS every
ship launched is bound to be wrecked
every theater to be burned the fms Of
the book is it's reduction to ashes.
What became of the AleXandrian Ii
brary? Did the Saracens burn it in
$40? There is this question asked :
Was there any library at Alexandria
containing 100000 books? GibbOn in
clines to the opinion that there was no
such library. Canon Taylor insists that
If there had been a library it was burn
ed in the time of Julius Caesar. Ira
dition seems to indicate, however, that
there was a library in the serapeum,
by no means q large collection, but
whether destroyed by TheOphilus or
TheOdosius is not known. 1t looks as
If the charge brought against the
Arabs rested on no foundation. Elk
plorations of Alexandria in 1S95-96
show no traces of the Serapeum. Ine
seaport of Egypt was built on a damp
foundation, and granting that there
was a library, if not destroyed by fire
then the papyri might have suffered
from decay due to water. Books of to-
day taken to India, to the southern
States and to the West Indies perish
through mildew.

drove them off by well-directed fire.
They were received with such a hail Of
swift fire that four lay dead on the snow

Slowly dawn came, and the three de-
tenders could see the dead men plainly
and the ring of the woods around them.
They heard a moan, and looking in the di-

Thanksgiving of the Revolution.
There were eight Thanksgiving days
appointed by the Continental Congress for
observance among the colonies during the
war of independence. After the one called
for the purpose of celebrating the peace
treaty, which was held in 1874, the day
was allowed to lapse until 1889, when
Washington took his seat as President.
The idea in these early days was to offer
thanks on some special occasion. That
our ancestors could find eight such occa-
sions during the dark days of the Revolu-
ton shows that they were ready to be
thankful oh somewhat slim provocation
But it also shows that the gobblers shed
their blood for the country as we'll as the

A REAL "RAFFLES."
Accountant by Day and Burglar by
Night.

Accountant by Day and Burglar by
Night.
A young, sprucely attired and we'll
educated man who was yesterday sen
fenced at the Clerkenwell sessions to
two years hard labor in the name of
Henry Lewis is one of the most re-
markable criminals who have come I'M
der the notice of the police in recent
years.
Barely % years old, he has single
handed caused more burglary scares
than many hardened thieves twice his
age.
On a previous Occasion-in October,
1904-this young fellow was ordered a
years Imprisonment in the name of
Monks.
His real name is neither Monks nor
Lewis, but that of we'll known and
highly respected inhabitant of Kilburn,
by whom he was given a good college
education, and who subsequently Sc
cured for him an excellent situation In
an accountants office.
The young mans first conviction was
in connection with a number of mystic
burn, and the WestbOurne Park dis
trict.
For months detectives were baffled,
the reason being that Lewis in
variably worked alone at night, select
ing only the most valuable and easily
~ -
Immediately the pawnbroker's establish
ments opened on the following morning,
and before the police had been notified
of the robberies.
Moreover, during the whole Of the
time the mysterious rObberieS were go
ing on he was working assiduously dur
ing the daytime at a situation.
Despite his busy days and nights the
young fellow managed to find Oppor-
tunities for a good deal of lovemaking
AT the time of his first conviction he
was counting no fewer than four young
women in highly respectable positions.
One Of these lived with her parents
in the country, and frequently he spent
week ends at her home. Not the least
important link in the chain Of evidence
which ultimately secured his first con-
viction was valuable present which
he made to this lady, for it was part
of the proceeds of one of his crimes.
In addition to his daring as burg
lar, his ability as an accountant and
his success in lOve-making, Lewis"
has gained considerable success as a
cyclist.
Some years back he was a frequent
winner of valuable prizes on the Ken
sal-riSe track.
His conviction yesterday followed a
series Of burglaries in Hampstead. The
police had not forgotten his previous
crimes, and they were able to catch him
red-handed.
At the time he was occupying a good
situation, the second he had held since
his release from gaol In both he had
given the greatest satisfaction to his
employers. He was also walking OUT
with young lady.
Lewis" received his sentence yester-
day with the utmost nOnchalance.-

The speaker was a gray-headed but

and means between the representa-
tlves OF the farmers and committee
appointed by President Gompers for
more active cooperation of the toilers
OF the city and the tlllers of the soil.
the committee reported to the CON
vention that the only practical action
at this time in furthering the inter
ests of each other is the cooperation
of both, the committee urging call
upon wage workers still outside the
folds of the unions to affiliate with
them and further recommending that
all members of the federation demand
products OF the farm, garden and Or
chard that bear the union label of the
farmers organization. since the farm
ers through their Representatives
have made assurances that they will
purchase nothing but union made
goods. To the end of carrying into
effect a mutual understanding the
committee presented a resolution TO
the effect that local unions and city
central bodies appoint committees to
cooperate in the efforts to promote
the demand for union labelled good
and that a fraternal exchange of dele
gates be continued. The committee
report in its entirety was adopted.

SOME DISSATISFACTION
Reported That There is Friction Re
tween the Patrons and Manage
ment of the Fruita Fruit
Growers Association.

For some time there have been in
circulation reports TO the effect that
there was some dissatisfaction in
some quarters over the management
and policies of the Fruit Growers
Association at Frulta. These rumors
have been hard to run down. The
first public statement regarding anv
such state of affairs is made by the
Fruita Record in its last issue
The Record has n general state
ment followed by number of notes
intending to prove that fruit men of
the lower valley have been passing
up their local association. The
Record says:
For some time past there seems
to have been n decided friction be
tween the stockholders and the man
agement of the local fruit associa-
tion. and the Record has been in re
celpt Of many written and verbal com
munications anent the matter. We
had supposed It was n family row and
rather held aloof. but one cannot fan

are now either shipping direct or
trough tho Grand Junction assocla-

very evident there is something wrong
either with him or the local asso-

THE point with us is this. The

his money there in place of here.
This hurts the home mercant-hurts

I'VE have asked many as TO where
the fault lays. Some claim local re
turns are too low and too slow. 9th
ers claim bad management and an
excess of expense in handling of pro-
dusts. Others claim favoritlsm and
a desire to squeeze them out.
But the facts remain that much
of the business that rightly belongs
to Fruita and should inure to the
benefit of Fruita. Is now going to
Grand Junction. We do not know
where the fault lies, but our columns
