What the Library Does

Mabel Potter Daggett tells in vivid in- stances in The Delineator for January how the library helps the people. She starts with the children. whose interest is stimulated by the telling of stories, the unfailing result of which is demand for all the books they can get, with stories like that" She tells how the libraries teach the immigrant English, enabling him to work at his trade, which his ig- r,orance of the language prevented him from doing. She tells of the help 10 am ateur architects, and how it reaches the women hygiene. She tells what the tech- nical room has done for many working men, and how the precepts of the library have relped to stamp out tuberculosis. She tells how it has carried light ant culture to remote localities where there were no books.
 "Once library was only a row of books on shelves, she writes, 'and it's influ- ence was limited by little horizon. Wid- CT and wider now range it's activities, for the librarian has lifted his eyes from lit- erature to look on life, and his profes sior0has been transfigured into new high calling. He used to know books. Now he also knows men. To contribute to more efficient living and 10 carry to the com munity culture that shall help to illu- minate with color the dull. drab places in the long plain path of existence--this is the modern library's mission.

London, December T.-(Special.)--It has been publicly suggested there that it was possible that slum missionary work might have to be done among English peers and the nobility in order to bring them to their senses.
 The Agenda club, an organization on novel lines, was formally inaugurated a few nights ago at the Hotel Cecil. Hon. Sydney Holland presided in the absence oe Lord. shaftesbury, and among those present were Lord Brassey, the head masters of Eton and Harrow, and W. w. Asquth, the prime minister's brother.

 Tn general, the idea behind the club is that there are many men In the world who wish to do something for their fellow men, and are discouraged because there is no businessike organization which will tell them what to do and help them to do it.
 MT. Holland, in dealing with the objects of the club, said: "One aim will be to bring gentlemen, the natural leaders of cur country, out of their shell. It may be our duty to slum among dukes, rescue earls. and set young peers on their legs, even if their last legs.'
 The King left Thetford by special train Friday morning on the conclusion of his visit to Viscount Iveagh at Elveden. As the party motored to the station the scholars of Thetford school greeted the King who most cordially responded. During shooting at Elveden it is said that his majesty used 1400 cartridges in one day, killing 17oo birds.
 It looks as if he was going to prove as useless an ornament as his father
 The tories have been doing much shout ing in denunciation of American dollars, as though they were something to be avoided In view of this outcry 1t may ont be generally known that Great Britain is the largest holder of American stock among the other nations of the world Her holdings amount to about s700,O .0oo, or s350O,0OO,00O.

Most of the men of the under world who keep the police in hot water here are old enough at the business to emulate the monkey who persuaded the cat to take the chestnuts from the flames.

New York, December 31.-(Special. )-So- ciety in New York has attention centered on the dinner to be given by Mrs. George J. Gould, January 19 when her second daughter, Miss Vivian Gould, will be for mally introduced. It was at this dinner,
 it is said, Mrs Gould had intended to formally announce the engagement of her daughter to Lord Decies of London. The informal announcement coming from London may have to some extent inter fered with the plans of the parents of the pretty debutante. However, as the report has neither been denied or con firmed by the family some formal an nouncement may yet be made. Lord De- cies, who has been in New York since early in the season, has been a guest of different members of the Gould family much of the time, especially during the horse show season.
 This dinner, when Miss Gould will be formally introduced. into society, will be followed by number of entertainments

 It must be confessed that, according to American notions, the women in general were not well dressed, with little taste and much less style. They all seemed too sfort-wasted, the mamas very fat and dnmpy, the young girls fresh and un- spoiled. but lacking, even their early age in delicacy of outline. Greeting one ans other and chatting at furious rate, they were plainly taking mental note of the company assembled, as it conferred infin- itely to small concert at the castle than to a large state ball.

The Dominican gov ernment is now sending troops to the frontier and an ultimatum to the Hay tian government to withdraw it's troops immediately. It is said that the Haytian government has recalled General Fer dinand. Considerable. excitement pre- vails here. It is reported that the Do- minican government has made ready the gunboat Independencia to convey the troops in case of trouble.

Palisades New Public School

Plans Presented From Architect
Ernest Sibley Indicate That the
New Public School Is Going to Be
Valuable Addition to the Worth
of Palisade.
"The Pa1isadian" presents in this
issue two line drawings of the new
public school building about to be
started in Palisade. The school lot
is located in Anderson avenue near
Central boulevard and is about 100
feet square.
Architect Ernest Sib1ey, who drew
the plans, is now just recovering
from serious illness, and it is hoped
to begin work this spring. The ground
is large but Palisade has no need at
present for a great deal of school
room. The building has therefore
been planned with a view to making
the best show for small school The
building will be about 100 feet front
along Anderson avenue and will make
a splendid showing. The plans al
low at some future date for an extern
sion to the west to almost any reason
able dimensions.
The building as planned is two
stories and basement The walls
will be Of tapestry brick with white
stone trimmings, the roof of green
slate. All walls and partitions will
be of fre-proof construction. AS
planned the school will contain five
class rooms and a future kindergarten
room, which at present, combined
with the corridor, will provide an
assembly room seating 800
On the stair landings are two
rooms, one for supplies and the other
for a teachers room with an adjoin-
ing kitchenette alcove.
The basement will contain two large
play rooms and toilets, and all of the
plumbing will be of the latest type for
schools with every sanitary arrange
ment
In connection with the heating sys-
tenn will be fan ventilating system
operated by an electric motor
The floors of the assembly room,
the corridors, the stairways and par
titions will all be of freproof con-
struction.
Taken as a whole the new school
will compare favorably with any in
the neighboring towns, the long front
along Anderson avenue giving it a
very imposing appearance There
will be stage in the assembly room,
for use in school entertainments and
public exercises.
Palisade will have a great time
when the new school is opened with
appropriate exercises.
What a blessing to have a nice

BUYING ALFALFA LAND.

There are many sections i'm The
south where alfalfa will do well. and
IL goes without saying that land which

some facts in connection with the
growing of alfalfa which TX Ii well
TO take into account. One or these -
that II will not do well on land that
is not well drained. which means that
a lot Of land which is being sold to
northern buyers as prime alfalfa land
will not BE- worth continental for
this purpose until " IL drained
Neither will alfalfa do well over q
hardpan Of any kind which comes
too near the surface nor on a stiff
clay subsoil. Weather conditions
which are likely to prevail during the
making OF thu hay should also be
taken into account. rain and heavy
dews being very detrimental to a
good quality Of hay. For this reason
the drier or irrigated sections Of the
west and southwest are preferable
for alfalfa growing. we are led 10
