the maids and men enjoying the "cof.

The success of the library story
hour is already assured, and quite a
number of school children paid Mrs.
Ivinson and Mrs. Brown the most ac-
ceptable of compliments by going to
the library yesterday afternoon and
eagerly demanding more stories. An
hour has been arranged for Wednes-
day of next week, n the children are
invited to be present at 4 O'Clock,
when Prof. Knight will tell them about
adulterated foods and SHOW them his
remarkable doll. 1t is a double bill
of special interest as the theaters
would say, and Rev. Lansdell has also
promised to speak about the negroes
and in the dialect. The in
which busy people are responding to
requests for help in this work is very
gratifying to those in charge and is
highly appreciated, both by them and
by the parents of the children.
