of hounds. The charges were proved
unfounded. and Russell refused to

The late Henry Miller, who was

book lovers within Il thousand miles
of New York, was Il most successful
salesman. one day he called on Coils
i. Huntington and showed him "A rare
copy of n book.
There are two volumes Of this"
said Mr.. Miller The other volume
is in perfect order, as you see this
one is. You cannot possibly let them
escape you, for you know you have
nothing like this in your library"
what is the price?' asked the rail
road king.
Seven hundred dollars" said the
bookman.
Those are too valuable volumes for
my library" Mr.. Huntington ex-
claimed
Mr.. Miller went back to his place
and sent the books to Mr. Hunting
toms house with bill for 500. Next
day the railroad king sent for him.
why did you send me those books?"
he demanded sharply.
Because you bought them" was
the bookman's calm reply.

Books of Reference.

Newspaper editors like to answer
questions addressed to them by their
readers-if they are not too hard
and they deem themselves as arbiters
rather than as accessories to a mis-
demeanor when they are appealed to
for information ito decide a bet" But
they wonder sometimes why certain
questions are put to them for arbitra-
ment when the answers are to be
found in one of three very accessible
books-an almanac, a grammar and a
small dictionary.
These are books of reference that
ought to be in every home library,
however small. We guess that they
are, but that they are sometimes dusty
with misuse or out of easy reach on
top shelf. It is well to have an al
manac, a dictionary or an atlas handy
when you are reading your newspaper
