enthusiasm soon became as grea
as Bob's, as the wonders were un
folded to him. This building,
said Bob, pausing on the corner o
First and Second streets, 'Is th
electric laundry A little farthe
down on First street he pause'
again.
"Here is the lone library ant
reading rooms. We will go insid
and look about. You see th
shelves are filled with the works o
the very best authors. See the
people waiting at the secretary
desk with their books ready to bt
checked. And the numbers o.
them at the shelves hunting fol
their favorate authors, and more
coming in every minute. lone il
nothing if not literary"
"Now here are the reading rooms
They are filled with the seekers
after knowledge too, you see. This
large room in the center is for the
older folks. The room on the side
there is for the young people. The
tables in both rooms are always
laden with the latest newspapers
and magazines. Notice the fine
paintings on the walls, and the good
taste shown in the arrangement of
chairs, tables, couches, etc. Every
thing about our library tends to
uplift and educate the younger
generation, and give the older ones
pleasure and rest"
"We will 60 upstairs bow, for
the good work below stairs extends
above as we'll. This room on the
left is called the boys workshop.
See those boxes? They contain
the tools of each boy that belongs
to the club they have started here.
Those little tables piled up there
in the corner are distributed about
the room every Saturday afternoon,
each boy takes his place at the
table with a box of tools, and a
master mechanic drills them in the
use of tools. The boys turn out
many wonderful and useful articles
in this room. Now and then they
have a sale and use the proceeds
of the sale for the enlargement of
their work"
"Over there Is the girls work
room. They also have their
teachers and are taught many use
full arts. When the girls have
their sales the boys generously lend
their services and a play that
would please the sternest critic is
given by the young people. And
let me tell you right here that the
talent displayed by the young
people of lone is truly wonderful"
Nov, in my opinion, the best
rooms in this building are those
two large, sunny ones at the end
Of the hall. These are called the
Mothers Rooms A good, capa-
BILE nurse has charge of these rooms.
Mothers from the country. wishing
10 do their shopping, and others in
town, wishing to enjoy an EVENINGS
entertainment, can leave their
babies without fear or worry"
When the two sightseers were
,ut on the street again the Gray
Cat said something about the boys
q the blue suits with the canvas
bags strapped to their shoulders.
Those" said Bob, with a fresh
,urst of pride, "are the lone mail
carriers. Mail is deliveded twice
day. We will go to the post
,fice. It's one of the finest build
ngs in town."
Bakeries, ice cream psrlors,
Iressmaking establishments, mil
inery stores, lawyers, doctors and
lentists offices, and many other
desirable and needed buildings
hey passed.
'I'm going to take you over in

Bob. "There are q snumber Of them
