The STORAGE WAREHOUSE.

It Sheds Some Side Lights Upon LIE

For a few dazzling side lights upon
life and morals apply to the storage

thing there from baby alligators to
blocks of ice cream and from Teddy
bears to sauerkraut. So you won't be

Time Killing Methods Of Officials In
Continental Europe.
"Americans who grumble about hav-
ing to wait long time for books when
applying to public library" said a
Boston literary woman, SHOULD try to
work or study in foreign library, par
ticularly in Germany.
1.-THE typical continental librarian
takes no account of time. The reader,
worker or student must turn in his or
her application for books at least day
in advance. The men who search for
the books applied for are aged, totter-
ing creatures who have been shutting
around the dusty piles Of books for
years, and the word hurry is not In
their vocabulary. y
1.-THE most priceless books and man.
uscripts are kept in places which are
perfect fire traps, and disorder pre-
dominates in every department. When
you speak about the impossible meth
DDS employed the librarians tell you
that they are too poor to introduce any
modern indexes or catalogues. This Is
to some extent so, but as matter of
fact they would not change If they
had all the money in the world at their
disposal.
"They do not wish to encourage the
common people to use books. The
learned are among the aristocracy, and
the spread Of the knowledge which is
hidden in those wonderful literary mu-
seums Is far from the purpose of the
men at the head of Europe's libraries.
"There may be some delay in QUE IL
braries. but our people in the lower
walks of life are certainly ahead Of
the common people Of the old world In
the matter of getting books when they
want them, and generally free OF
charge. New York Telegram. ~
