JONES ACCUSES
MISSES GLEASON
DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH FINDS
WHISKY BOTTLE
LEMON AND HAMMER ALSO COME
TO HIS ATTENTION
Official of Library Declares Young
Woman Was Insubordinate to Him
While He Was Acting Head
of Institution

The first real live interest in the Ii
brary investigation was injected by DIR.
G. j. K. Jones at the session Of the civil
service commission yesterday morning
DR.. Jones testimony was not relevant
to the case against Miss Celia Gleason,
which is the subject the commission is
considering, but it showed a shocking
state of affairs in the library. DR.. Jones
even found whisky bottle in the work.
room. 1t was empty, but 1t had left
it's lingering odor around the premises.
Whether this whisky bottle had actu-
ally contained whisky as its last con-
tents or a little cold coffee for one of
the young women attendants luncheon
the doctor was not prepared to say.
The witness gave his evidence from
a pile of notes in front of him, so high
he could hardly peer over them. He
is director Of study and research in
the library and evidently included
among his duties the study and re-
search of about all the members. of the
library staff-and there are seventy-five
of them.
DR.. Jones' attitude toward the library
staff apparently is well known, for a
few days ago he reached his office one
morning to find lemon and a hammer
had been deposited on his desk.
Charges INSTRUMENTATION
His chief complaint against Miss
Celia Gleason was that she had been
insubordinate to him while he was act
ing librarian during Mr.. Lummis' alb
sence in the east. He declared she had
been impudent to the point of insolence
but did not give specific instances.
Miss Pearl Gleason, secretary Of the
library board and against whom no
charges have been made, seems to have
excited his ire even more than did Miss
Celia. The two are not related, al
though their last names are the same.
He read a long list of sins Of COM
mission and omission charged against
Miss Pearl. His chief complaint was
a number Of tardinesses in her at
tendance at the library.
1t is rumored Miss Pearl Gleason will
avenge herself when she is called to
the witness stand by telling some
things about DR.. Jones, and these, 1t is
alleged, will give a spiciness which the
proceedings have lacked thus far.

Little People Knew What Thss
Liked Best In School.
teacher whose little pupils are
for the most part immigrants asked
them not long ago to each think
moment, and be ready to tell what
thing in school they liked best. The
first hand raised was Annetta's. and
her answer came, at the nod of per-
mission, with explosive enthusi ism.
It was:
Teachers clo'es!"
Being, as it were, already accus-
toned to the unexpected in dealing
with her flock, teacher accepted this
reply as quite in the natural order of
things, and proceeded to turn 1t to
account. She was glad she said, that
Annetta liked her clothes, because she
really took good deal of pains to
have them nice. They were, she point
ed out, always very simple; but she
tried to choose pretty colors, and above
all things, to keep them neat. Nobody
could help sometimes tearing holes or
getting spots; but everybody should
clean the spots and darn the holes as
soon as possible. Indeed, a lady, or
ladylike little girl, would feel very un-
comfortable if she had to stay untidy
more than a little while. She added:
See, I keep this little work-bag in
my desk, and l will always lend 1t to
any one who wants to mend her dress
In recess. Perhaps 1 might even some
times see place that you could mend,
but hadn't noticed; would you like me
to tell you if I do? l am sure if there
was anything wrong with my clothes
that l could put right, l should wish
to be told"
The lure Of the dainty work-bag and
the artful suggestion of reciprocity
worked admirably toward an increase
Of tidiness for some days. Then came
visit from group of distinguished
educators. More chalk was needed in
the course of a blackboard exercise,
and teacher reached up for it to a
high shelf. AS she turned, several
hands shot up, but she ignored them
to finish the task in hand. Presently
she raised her arm high in using the
pointer. More hands waved excitadly.
A moment later she did so again. An
META could endure no more
"Scusi, teacher" she cried, "but your
waist buttons will be all bust off if l
don't tell you! First it was one bust
off, and then it was two bust off, and
then it was one more bust off, and the
last one that busted went down the
register!'
| 1t was a very flushed teacher, in
becoming if semi-detached blouse, who
explained to three twinkling educators
some additional points in her methods
upon which she had not expected to
dwell.-Youth's Companion.
