in the Office of the supervising archi-
tect of the treasury department at
Washington, ID. c.. for sites for pub
lie building at Moline Several bids
have been sent in and naturally every
one is anxious to hear from Washing
ton. 1t is rumored on the streets that
the sale of the John Deere homestead
corner of Eighteenth street and Third
avenue, will, if it has not been already,
be offered to the government on which
to erect the postoffice. While this one
piece of property is not large enough,
the adjoining property, now occupied
by Harry Haley. with the homestead
would provide sufficient ground. Other
properties which have been offered to
the government are the Ainsworth
property at the corner of Eighteenth
street and Fifth avenue, and Judge
Goulds property corner of Seven
teenth street and Fifth avenue These
three sites are all large enough for
the government, which demands a
space of ground 145-150 feet on which
to erect its postoffice.

color was rusty reddish. 1t appeared In

To the rear of the main pavilion stretches
the storage room-a hall more than 200
feet long by nearly forty in width. 1t is
shelved with three tiers of metal cases, the

set, with locked doors. In the alcoves OPP
posite the wide windows are large steel
safes, burglar proof, with combination
locks. There are twenty OF these and 9TH
ers may be added as needed.
In these cases and safes are now housed
the manuscript collections. Among them
are the volumes which until recently trans
ferred to the library have formed dis
tinction of the Department of State, the
papers of the Continental Congress-in
more than 300 folio volumeS-the papers of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,

Member of Rain Sticks Tells of Tricks
in Men Who Borrow"

From the New York Press,
The man who kept a general repair
shop listened gravely while customer ex-
planned that he wanted new handle put
on his umbrella
1.-The present handle is all right enough,
he explained. but 1 prefer one with a
crook, SO I can hang 1t up"
The general repair man opened the UNI
bre,la and looked at 1t critically. 1t was a
handsome, heavy silk, of expensive make,
The handle was studded with pearl
WANT a perfectly plain handle, l sup
poser" he asked.
The customer. who had appeared little
uneasy, nodded eagerly
''All right, give 1t to you tomorrow" said
the repair man.
AS the customer went out the repairer
turned to the friend who had dropped In
for visit.
That's the third stolen umbrella that has
come In here today he said. How do 1
know? Well, why under the canopy does a
person want handsome expensive handle
replaced by an ordinary cheap one, II 1t
isn't becausue he Is afraid that somebody
will recognize the original handle? There's
hardly day passes but what I'm asked to
replace good handle with a cheap one.
Sometimes a smart man will break the
handle before he enters the shop; but when
the umbrella Is a heavy. silk always have
my suspicious. And that's the reason why
stolen umbrellas are never found. People
who lose them always keep an eye out,
thinking they may spot them some day In
the hands of some one else, but they don't
realize that a person who borrows' an UNI
brella takes no chances with the handle.
They almost invariably have them replaced
with plain, unpretentious handle that no
one would look at second time.
