During the skirmishing In the hills
two of the federal troops were killed
and - wounded. The insurrecto loss
was two killed and three wounded.
Now that Robago has returned to
Juarez, the attack on the city by the
rebels under Orozco is expected at
any moment.
The precautions in Juarez have
not been relaxed. The soldiers are
still on the tops of the buildings and
they cut holes in the walls of the
ancient cathedral so that they can
shoot from inside if the insurrectos
drive them from the roofs, where
they are now enthroned behind sand
bags.
Juarez locks like congress OF ma

floating from all the housetops and
doors showing the foreign residents
The Mexican national emblem floats
from every Office building, proudly
and defiantly. Usually it does not fly
except on the custom house. More
than 100 people went from El Pasc
In autos to the near vicinity of the

round trip in four hours and are col

will be no more races until after the

.cARNEeIe's OWN LIBRARY
Vast Collection OF Books Show Few
Signs Of Being Used
New York Press)

Andrew carnegie has been the
greatest giver of Libraries in the
world. He has library of his own
that is wonderful, probably as remark
able collection of books as Is owned
by any private individual In America
or elsewhere. 1t takes up vast and
beautiful room in his great mansion
on Fifth avenue, and Is alongside the
plain and buslnesslike of the master
OF iron and of innumerable millions.
But herein lies curious Circum-
stance. While Andrew Carnegie's
fame will rest largely in future ages
upon his having founded SO many Ii
braries for public use, there Is little
evidence in his own library that he
has much use for books.
This wonderful library furnishes a
pretty strong indictment against its
owner Most men are not content to
be what they are, but want the world
TO think them different. Every one
who knows Andrew Carnegie knows
him to be talkative, almost garru-
lous man. Once he gets started on a
subject he hates to let go. Few per
sons know him as a wellread man
But Mr. Carnegie wants the world to
know him not as chatty and some
times tiresomely loquacious person
but as a lover of books, student oi
literature and a writer OF books.
Mr. Carnegie may love books, but
no one can go through the beautiful
library and think SO. This man OF
hundreds of millions OF dollars may
know books but you wouldn't believe
1t after examining the proof this libra
ry furnishes. In fact, you would be
forced to the conclusion that Mr.. Car
negle5 love Of books and knowledge
of books is a pretense, or @ pose, and
his library is simply for display.
