Everything here is moving along nice
ly in this part of the moral vineyard
and everything written by the CORES
pondents last week was read and en-
joyed by all of us mountain people, ex-
cept one clause of ''Small Grain 81 ar
ticle and that was this: ''When l say
country people, l mean country people.
l don't mean mountain boosters that
hunt wild hogs and catch muskrats
and sell their hides
/ was asked by some of the noun
tain's best people to air that clause a
little before the readers of the News.
First, wish to say in defence of the
mountain people and against such
filings, that We writer was raised in
Marion County in the valley, among
the best people of the valley, and
knows all of country peoples customs.
| moved here form health and great
many of the country people of the val
ley have moved here for the same reas-
on and to better themselves otherwise
and not to steal, as some suppose. l
want to say that some of Sequatchie
county's best and most wealthy people
have brought their hogs up on the
mountain to get the benefit of the mast
and they would run wild and each
owner would have to hunt them up,
they were his own property, bearing
his own mark.
3 ! will say | further | don't believe
there is a man ON the mountain that
ever raised hogs but what had to hunt
them, because where there is a mast,
even a pet pig, when it gets off from
the house in three weeks will run from
its owner almost as quick as a deer
and become the widest of hogs. Be-
ing extensively acquainted with the
mountain people, want to say in their
behalf that there is not more noble
or more hospitable people TO be found
! anywhere They still retain the PROV
erbial southern hospitality. They are
people that loves for you to stay over
night with them and share the com
forts and blessings of their homes. |
am writing from experience and wish
to say never lived among a more roy
al country people in my life, but
"Small Grain, has the right name.
He is a small grain in the eyes of the

Social conditions at Coyote Guch were

THE ART OF GIVING
CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

LTHOUGH a Christmas gift
~ when made appropriately is "A
thing OF true delight. there
are numerous instances when
u turns out to be something very diff
Serent. Then 1t is that the softer sem
timent which Is the legitimate inspi-
ration OF the act Of giving is trans
formed into satire. all unconscious
though 1t may be. "The art of giving
presents" declares Balzac, "is a thing
understood but indifferently. l do not
maintain that 1t cannot be acquired
out certain 1t Is that most of us do not
live long enough to become proficient
in It,"
Perhaps that is putting II rather
strongly. but the fact remains that
gifts. especially Christmas gifts se-
locted without the corporation of the
recipient, are apt to miss fire." The
is admirable, the gift itself is
not less so. but the element of appro-
pr1ateness Is absent 'Tis the fitness
Of the thing that isn't.
First OF all. there is the luckless giver
who never fails to select a razor for
the beardless youth and hairbrush--
silver backed sometimes---for the man
who IL too bald to enjoy it. OF course
u u suggestive Of stupidity but 1t is
being done constantly by those who are
bright enough In other ways. Fortu-
neteIy FOR them. their incongruous gifts
40 not always bring the criticism OF
those who receive them. The beardless
youth accepts the razor with deep
satisfaction that any one should have
thought him fit to handle It, and the
man for whom the hairbrush is van
lshed toylis not unwilling that at least
one OF his friends should have over
looked his unenviable condition.
Then there is the case of the gift
which Is appropriate in certain
pense. but highly tnjudicious under the
eifouinstances. Such was the Christ
mas gift cf the congregation of the

many we'll meaning persons who do
not pause to consider the possible con-
struction which may be put upon their
generous efforts to do something grace
ful and acceptable. A case in point Is
that OF an estimable woman who made
friends which was not appropriate and
useful. To that end she began by dis
patching handsome box containing a
dozen cakes of high priced impoi ted
soap to a Woman for whom she had an
especial regard. When it was forever
too late TO recall her Gift she recollect-
ed with n pang that her friend was a
model of personal untidness and that
her household and all it's belongings
were suggestive of the need of soap.

JAPANESE LIBRARY.

Since then n copy OF every book
printed in the country has been add
ed to the collection. until at the pres
ent time 1t numbers 1S0,196 Japanese
and Chinese books, and 46,3S5 for
eign, making total of more than
225,000 volumes, an excellent result
for the number of years.
Until 1885 the library was wholly
a circulating one. In that year a
reading room was provided for refer
ence work. The arrangement of the
books was also revised, and all worn
and mutilated volumes discarded.
leaving on the shelves total of
80, 2,O69
In the first two years of the exist
ence of the library It was open even
ings and the books loaned free. From
1874 to 1897 the building was closed
at six p. m, when II was again re-
opened evenings with great success.
The general public, as well as the
students of the university, are now
privileged to borrow the books on the
payment of a small fee.

, the rules and regulations were re-
vised the name changed from the

and plans adopted for erecting large
and modernly equipped structure.
The success that the library has
obtained has been greatly due to the
| efforts OF the librarian, Mr.. l. Tanaka,
who was sent by his government sew
eral years ago to make a tour OF
| America and Europe. studying H.
| braries and their methods. Mr. Tana.
| ka is very pleasantly remembered in
/ the Harvard library and the Boston
| Public library, where he made many
friends. with whom he has since kept
| in touch.
During the war with Russia the
/ patronage greatly decreased. but since
then has been restored. The stats.
ties for 1905 show that there were
144,532 readers, and 743,22O books cir.
| culated.
The classification OF the books. as
given in the last report is interesting
as showing the national bent. Gen.
eral literature and poetry are the
largest class, having 1886 Japanese
and Chinese and 1882 foreign works;
tactics, engineering and Industrial
arts have 24,759 Japanese and Chi
nese and 5,220 foreign; science.
mathematics and medical works arc
divided in the same manner. Re
ligion has the smallest number, 9,723
Japanese and Chinese and S27 for
eign, as against 1880 Japanese and
Chinese and 5,S97 foreign for philoso-
ply and morals. Japanese and Chi
nese history and biography Is repre-
sented by 39,059, and foreign by $3.50
works. Law, economics aud stats.
tics have good showing with native
works, numbering 19.491, and foreign
1858, while 23,352 native and 4,414
! foreign essays complete the List
