Washington. Jan. 26-Schoars everywhere
are aware that the Congressional Library holds
manuscripts Of value incalcuable to the hsto-
rian. and. these priceless treasures are avail
able for use by students there is constant pill

knowledge of the manner Of caring for and pre-

without injury, If not absolute destruction. That
is problem which experts have happily solved
Not only are damaged and time worn manu-
scripts restored in great measure by those who
have made careful study of this distinct art. but
they are mounted in such a way that ordinary
handling does not njure them. and that they
can be used as freely as any book Of reference
and perhaps with even less danger of resulting
damage than is likely TO befaIl the ordinary ref
erence work.
Many Of the most valuable documents coming
into the possession Of the Library Of Congress
have received very bad usage. and some of them
are torn and mutilated beyond the possibility Of
complete repair. With all Of them. however.
something can be done. and occasionally very
surprising results obtained. From the
standpoint Of the repairer OF documents it was
a fortunate thing that most of the papers ot
historical value were written with fast ink.
made from nut gals by primitive but efficient
processes, and that the paper used was of pure
linen, hand made, and resistant to the tooth of
time. What has proved to be a distinct draw
back was the tendency OF the persons who wrote
those historic documents TO economize in the
use OF paper, which not only expensive in
itself, but often bore a stamp tax well. so
that the writing very frequently was carried out
to the very edge ofthe paper on the right hand
side In consequence, when the edges have be
come worn with much use from the crum-
bling and disintegration resultant from age. por-
tions of the text have become iretrievably lost.
Only conjecture by the student fill out these
blanks. The repairer does not attempt such
feats.

Many librarians and others interested in the
preservation Of valuable documents come to the
Library of Congress to study it's methods. and
are accorded every possible help. There is the
man. occasionally met with, who bustles in and

others who are more reasonable. The heads
of six libraries in the Middle West were at the

Now the Piutes always would wan

fishing, not by farming, so they
moved from place to place wherever
there was game When they were in
the mountains rough white settlers
came to Pyramid lake and caught al
most all Of the fish with nets, so that
there we're no fish when the Indians
returned. This made the Indians an
cry, and so trouble began. All this
time Sarah was in California. Her
father, Chief Winnemucca Second, and
her mother were in Nevada, and she
often heard good news from them, but
one spring when she was seventeen
years old two Indians came bringing
the news from her father that he was
in the mountains and wanted all his
children to come TO him, but especially
Sarah.
Starting on their ponies they began
the journey, riding beside the wagon
where the grandmother rode. 1t took
twenty-five days TO reach Carson City,
but here their father and mother met
them, and next day all went to see
Gov, Nye, whom Sarah told in English
what her father the chief, wanted to
say.
Gov. Nye was very jolly and good,
and when he knew how things really
were he told the white settlers not to
interfere with the Indians, and sent
soldiers from the fort TO drive the
rough men away; so Gov. Nye and
Chief Winnemucca became good
friends, as they never could have been
but for little Toc.me-tone and her
bright interpretations.
For the next year Sarah talked
both Piute and English, and settled
many little troubles. She was called
friend both by the Indians and sol.
diers, and her father and she thought
often Of old Chief Winnemucca's
words and kept peace with Cheir white
brothers.
