The meeting of the county board

When IL came to that order of bust

that his motion. made at the meeting
before. be put. In the mean time two
application were presented. one from
VIM. J. Tully OF Iron River asking
that he be chosen TO the position and
another from Frank Erickson of Bates
asking the board TO select him for the
position. There was some question as
to the procedure to be followed but 1t
was finally agreed that the vote should
be by secret ballot and as tellers j. Il.

that Tully had received votes. Hollow

Mr. Odd then dropped bomb into
the proceedings by presenting resolu-

for a person 60 hold both the Office Of
supervisor and road commissioner that
this board remove VIM. Jobe from the
office of road commissioner. Mr.. Udd
moved the adoption OF resolution and
sat down. Someone questioned IL it
is illegal for person to hold both
offices and Mr.. Udd again sprung "a
surprise by presenting letter from
the attorney general in reply to an in
quiry addressed TO him aud in which
the attorney general stated that one
person cannot hold the Office of super
visor and road commissioner at the
same time.
There was considerable discussion on
the subject and Chairman Richards ex-
planned that the reason Mr. Jobs was
chosen 10 sit on the board of road com
niissioners was so as to have a member
OF the board on the commission 80 as
to keep the supervisors in closer touch
with the doings Of the commission.
Up 10 this time no second had been
made to Mr. Udd's motion. Mr.. Jobe
stated 10 the board that IL need not
spend much time in getting rid Of him
as he was perfectly willing 70 go and
he then seconded Mr.. Udd motion and
walked out of the room so as TO allow
free vote on the question. The ques-
tion was put and was voted down so
Mr.. JoDe was kept on the board by the
action OF the supervisors.
The only other business done was

QUEENsLAND'S WATER TREES
Wise Provision of Nature That Is One
Of the Curiosities of the
Region.

One of the curiosities in natural his
tory in the colony of Queensland is
the provision by nature of a supply of
water in the roots of certain trees.
On these roots the aborigines former
ly depended for their wafer for sew
eral months of the year.
There are severe kinds Of trees In
Queensland from which water can
be obtained, including three species
OF eucalyptus, and the kTrajong. The
eucalyp1 consists Of a gum, which is
the largest Of the back country trees,
box and malice. The first named is
the most preferred, as yielding the
greatest quantity. This tree resem-
bles the red gum in appearance, the
leaves being little narrower and of
stlvery color. It grows chiefly on
sandy or light loamy soil and throws
out numerous lateral roots at a depth
OF about nine inches from the sur.
face of the ground. The position OF
these roots was ascertained by the
blacks by repeatedly jabbing the
points or q spear or sharpened stick
in the soft earth at a distance Of about
six or eight feet from the trunk of
the tree. The soil was then removed
with wooden shovel for some 20
feet or more and the root cut OF at
either end. This was then cut up
into lengths of about 1s inches, the
bark knocked of and the lengths stood
on end in some receptacle to contain
water. In many cases the blacks used
bag made Of the entire skin of the
male wallaby. AS soon as all these
pieces were placed on end the opera
tor, beginning with the first placed,
put the end in his mouth, and by a
vigorous pun expelled the remaining
water. The size Of the roots chosen
was, with the bark on, about the thick
ness Of mans wrist. The larger
ones being more woody and less por-
Gus, contain little or no water. The
water is beautifully clear, cool, and
free from any unpleasant taste or
smell.

providing that nothing he should say
might be construed as criticism of his
predecessor.
''The principal aim of a librarian is
to get the books under his charge into
the hands of the people who want
then with the greatest degree of IA
cility commensurate with proper pre-
servation of the books themselves"
declared Librarian Legler.
CAS- rapidly as the finances will al
low / 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
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 great extent.
More liberal privileges, it would
seem to me, may be extended to card
holders. Elsewhere it is not an I'M
usual custom for patrons of public Ii
hraries to be allowed the right of
taking out two OF three, or even more,
books at one time on one card, pro-
vi6ing they do not attempt to monOpo-
lie 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 | recommend will
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.

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 Is 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. Chal-
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. GaIIantry 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 a 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 mad 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 timid
and falteriDg judges, so that it was
only a question Of few minutes before
the final vote was cast and counted

PLEASANT FOR THE TRAVELLER
Russian Method of Safeguarding Gear
Necessarily Led to Some Appre-
hension.

The late William e. Ingersou, the
noted life INSURANCE manager, was an
authority on insurance rates.
"Mr. Ingersoll knew the rates all
over the world" said New York man
ager, recently. ''The Russian rates are
very high. Mr.. Ingerson once ex-
planned to me. with a story, why this
was.
"A traveller IN Russia, he said, no.
ticed that the train was all deco
rated with flags and banners. and at
every station a comapny of soldiers,
and band playing the national an
them. The traveller asked a brakeman
the reason of all this ceremony. The
brakeman, lowering his voice, re-
piled:
" L don't mind telling you, sir-but
in the strictest confidence, be it un-
derstood-that a carriage in this train
has been engaged for his majesty. But
his majesty, as matter of fact, won't
set off till this evening. Thus the plot
Matched against him may take effect

cious sovereign will be saved.
"The brakeman touched his can
and passed on, and the traveller. sud
denly grown pale and nervous, stared

CHICAG0'S NEW LIBRARIAN
Henry E. Legier Of Milwaukee A.
sumes New Position at Salary
of $500 Annually.

Chtcago.-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-
tered upon his new duties as public
librarian OF Chicago. The former
Wisconsin newspapeTman, who is the
administrative head OF Chicago's pub
lie library, lost no time in going to
work to earn the $4,000 salary the
board voted him. Arriving in Chi
cago on an early morning train from
his home in Milwaukee, Librarian Leg
Ter hurried at once to the beautiful
building on Michigan avenue which is
to be his workshop and began at once
to knuckle down to his task.
The new librarian consented to out
line his plans only after expressly
