the various business associations as
sembled a few days ago for the diff
cult undertaking of electing an ephe-
neral sovereign to preside over this
fete. The delegates on arriving at the
hall found 10 beauties sitting in state
awaiting the decision of the judges
The idle, butterfly type was not repre-
sented, for the young woman who was
to attain the supreme dignity of queen
had to be taken from the ranks of the
business women.
After a moments contemplation the
president of the committee. NJ, ChaI-
RnSOn, arose and in carefully selected
words set forth the ideas which first
inspired the business men to bring in
to existence this autumn feast. The
delegates were then asked to vote for
the queen of the fete The situation
was most embarrassing Gallantry is
prOverbial with the Frenchman, and
to his chivalrOus mind it was almost
treason to select one to the discredit
Of the other candidates. A choice had
TO be made, however. Above each
candidate was number and each del
egate simply wrote the number of his
preference on the slip provided for
him and dropped it into a box.
The first count showed that the del.
egates were Of divers opinions and no
one of the candidates had a majority.
This necessitated another ballot. A
signal was given to the brass band in
attendance, and in a twinkling it was
thrilling the assembled people with
one of the most exciting popular airs.
The music gave courage to the timfd
and faltering judges, so that it was
only a question of few minutes before
the final vote was cast and counted

providing that nothing he should say
might be construed as criticism of his
predecessor.
''The principal aim Of librarian is
To get the books under his charge into
the hands of the people who want
them with the greatest degree OF ia
cility commensurate with proper pre-
servation of the books themselves" E"
declared Librarian Legler.
"As rapidly as the finances will al
low l believe in extending the free-de-
livery stations. The number of branch
libraries ought also to be increased.
Free home delivery has been tried in
a few cities, but it is not yet necessary
for Chicago and does not compare
with other and more urgent needs
for what money Chicago has to ex-
pend on its public library. With the
help of the school officials it is our
hope that the circulation of books in
the juvenile department may be in
creased to a great extent.
More liberal privileges, it would
seem to me, may be extended to card
holders. Elsewhere it is not an un-
usual custom for patrons of public IL
braries to be allowed the right Of
taking out two or three, Or even more,
books at one time on one card, pro-
viding they do not attempt to monopo-
lize books for which there appears to
be widespread demand. Here, l am
told, the holder of a card may take
out only one book at a time | think
that system may be changed with due
regard for the convenience of all con-
cerned.
''The general trend everywhere also
appears to be toward increasing the
freedom of admission to book stacks.
However, want to make it clear that
whatever changes l recommend viii
be only after careful consideration
and after obtaining the consent of the
trustees"
Recently Mr.. Legler refused an of.
fer to take charge of the St Louis
public library and he also refused an
offer to become New York state IL
brarian. He was for many years a
newspaper reporter, then became Sec
retary of the Milwaukee school board,
and for five years has been in charge
of Wisconsin's state library commits
sion, which handles hundreds of trav-
cling libraries.

CHlCAG0'S NEW LIBRARIAN
Henry (. Legler of Milwaukee As
sumes New Position at Salary
of $4,000 Annually.

Chicago.-Freer use of books and
better facilities for getting them are
two Of the reforms which book lovers
may expect to follow shortly upon the
advent of Henry E. Legler, who has en-
tired upon his new duties as public
librarian of Chicago. The former
Wisconsin newspaperman, who is the
administrative head Of Chicago's pub

DOM

There are many colored families
who are living in crowded houses
on small plots of land in towns or
cities who want real freedom and
real opportunity for themselves and
for their children. 1t is very difficult
to rear children in a crowded town
or city. The place to rear children
is in the country.
In Macon County, Alabama, the
colored people have rare and ex-
ceptional opportunity. This is the
county in which The TuSkegee Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute is 10
Gated. There is plenty of good land
for sale on easy terms. There is a
good schoolhouse, and the school
term lasting from seven to eight
months in every part of the county.
The white people in Macon County
are of the very best class. There IS
no disorder or racial trouble. We
advise colored people who are now
living in crowded towns or cities,
in the North or in the South, aid es-
pecially those who have children to
raise to come to Macon County and
buy home where they can get plen-
ty of land to cultivate and rear their
families in the county free from the
temptations of the cities and towns.

French Capitals Autumn
Feast This Year.

Paris.-AlthOugh France Is now a
republic for the third time, her peo-
pie still seem to banker after royalty
and their taste runs In the direction
Of queens. They can't have a regular
queen, Of course, so they must be con.
tented with queens Of a lower degree,
who are CHOSEN in various trades and
various parts of France with all due
ceremony.
From time immemoriaI the trades
people Of Paris have celebrated each
carnival by electing a queen from
among the work people, whose chief
merit is unusual beauty, the pride OF
birth being quite an unimportant fac
tor.
The vegetable women select their
queen, the gToceTs theirs, the fishmar-
ket makes its choice and so on. Then
these several chosen queens are
brought together for an appointed
committee to pass judgment on them.
The queen receiving the largest num-
Der Of votes is raised to the highest
honor and her title is-Queen Of the
Queens. It is a strange fact that for
several years, with one exception, the
fish market has furnished the Queen
Of Queens for this joyous fete.
This year the business men of Paris
inaugurated a Fete d'Automme (au-
tumn feast), and October 2 and 3
were chosen as the days for the cele.
bration.

A friend calls attention to the fact
that Washington, although comman-

and again in 1888 during the French
war, which did not really happen, did
not bear the title OF full general. On
July 2, 1898, President Adams nomin-
