4 Library Incident.

My last memory of the old Aston
library is embittered with the selfish
ness of womankind," said the woman
student in the New York Sun. AT 6
O'Clock on the last day of the library's
existence | went in for an evenings
work. l took my wraps off and laid
them on a chair beside me- Still fur
Their along at the same table was
another vacant chair. Presently a
young woman turned on the lights at
that third place, sat down and looked
disapprovingly at my wraps on the
middle chair. Thinking she wished to
make room for a friend who was com
ing, l said, would you like this chair?
Yes, l would, she said, if you
don't mind
80 l removed my wraps to the back
of my own chair and made myself gen
orally uncomfortable by sitting on
them and leaning against them, and
all that girl did was to pull off her
own coat and hang it on the back of
the middle chair"

THE ENTERING WEDGE.

The work of the city in substituting
larger water mains in place of the in
adequate ones at present in use in the
business section of the city should
meet with the heartiest support and
cooperation from every citizen of
Americas. AS was pointed out in yes
terday's issue of The Times1Recorder,
Americas should enjoy first class fire
insurance rates as soon as possible.
The city has made the entering
wedge in this campaign for better fire
protection in deciding to increase the
water facilities in the business sec
ton of the city 1t has been suggested
that even these improvements alone
will enable the city to be rated with
the Southern Tariff Association in the
first class. If this is not true, then
further steps should be taken to bring
about this consummatiOn.
No further improvements than the
installation of fire alarm boxes could
be desired to make the fire protection
perfect, after the larger water mains
shall have been installed. Unless the
expense of placing fire alarm boxes
is prohibitiye, let us have this further
improvement, too, so that We may be
credited with the protection that s
justly ours now.
The list of fire losses in Americas in
the past have been so small and insig-
nifcant, as compared with the losses
incurred in most cities of equal size
in the state, that our freedom from
such disasters stands out as splendid
example to the smaller municipalities
of the state We have enjoyed first
class immunity from fire losses IN
the past, but we have been content to
sit idle and pay as high rates as if no
such advantages existed
1t should be our immediate duty TO
see that Americas obtains a first class
rating in this particular, thus giving
us credit for our excellent advantages
and placing our municipal reputation
on a still higher plane in the CONNER
cial world.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, deafness is the result, and unless
this Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
Gus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

ImmutabiIity.

Cephas is darby come up from
Maryland to border town in Penn
sylvania, where he has established
himself as handy man to do odd
jobs, says Lipipncott's. He is a good
worker, and sober, but there are GER
tain procliyities of his which neccess-
tate pretty close watch on him. Not
long ago he was caught with chicken
under his coat and was hailed to court
to explain its presence there.
Now, Cephas," said the judge very
kindly, you have got into a new
place and you ought to have new
habits We have been good to you and
helped you, and while we like you as a
sober and industrious worker, this
other business canot be tolerated. Why
did you take Mrs Girkie's chicken?"
Cephus was stumped, and he stood
before the majesty of the law rubbing
his head and looking ashamed of him
self. Finally he answered:

lor OF the Roman Catholic Archdiocese
of Philadelphia, has a trait in. common
with the late Archbishop Ryan, which
enables him to decline to do some
thing without leaving a sting, says the
Philadelphia Times.
Like his late chief, he usually tells a
story and then escapes committing
himself. Since the baIloting for A
successor to Archbishop Ryan he has
been importuned, cajoled, and other
wise held up for a word that would
give an idea as to what was the result
of the baIloting AS he is sworn to
secrecy he must keep quiet.
To group of newspaper men he
said:
Once there was an assistant to a
man who held a responsible position
This assistant took upon himself much
of the credit for his employers popu-
larity. One day he complained by
saying; I'm tired of playing second
fiddle
The trouble with you is that you
are trying to play first violin before
you have learned how to play second

And menacing swift, at close of day
