WEDDING BELLS.

Dedicated to Miss Catherine Shorte
 Jelks and MT. Edward Tripp Conner on
 their wedding night, November q, 1907.)
 By M. B. Wharton, l.. L. D. Ring the bells. the wedding bells, Give the cords stronger pull, For the breast with rapture swells, And the heart with love is full. Catherine. fair as Russias queen, To the altar must be led, On a young Adonis lean
 While the nuptial vows arc said. All before the altar bow, And they pass beneath the yoke, Blessings on each lovely brow, Priest and people all invoke. Let the orange blossoms abound, Let the gifts be rich and rare, Let the halls of mirth resound, As we greet loves own sweet pair. Daughter of a governor great, She her pretty name .orsakes. Name like honored by the state, She in compensation takes. 2 Who would barter such lot, For the gold that lCreosus knew? ! Rather loves for-get-me-not, Than the riches of Peru. May their path be blessed with peace, May their life be one glad song, May their pleasures still increase, While the years their years prolong.

Rank of the Congressional Library. From the New York Trihl1ne

tr1t 4NtW
 The Congressional library, according to the Librarian of Congress, has attained third place in size among the libraries of the world. thanks to large and valu- able acquisitions during the last year. The proper way to measure libraries, how ever, is not by the length of shelves or running feet of volumes. but by the char acter of the books and the extent to which they are prohtably used. Ranked according to these standards, the Con- gressional library probably has a le- gitimate claim to first place, and will continue to have 1t until the great new library of New York city has been run ming a score of years.
