A curious little building is situated

lieved to be the smallest public lib
rary in the world Pinebluff is only
a small place, with population of
fewer than one hundred in summer,
and when the ladies of the village de-
cided that they ought to have a public
library they found themselves with
out building suitable for the pur-
pose Finally, a gentleman offered
them a band-stand which he had built
in the hope that Pinebluff would soon
become city, and the offer was ac-
cepted with thanks BY giving enter
tainments and so on. the ladies we're
able to raise funds to purchase materi-

BELIEFS OF THE MOR0CcANS
Curious ideas Of the Arabs Regarding

The Arabs of Morocco believe that
the earth is balanced on the horns of

borne up by the Divine Power. When
the bull is tired he changes the earth
from one horn to the other. with the

During sleep the soul leaves the

see and hear whilst dreaming are the
things which the soul sees and the
conversations in which 1t takes part
during its peregrinations. Conse-
queiltly, we ought never to awaken a
sleeper rudely. for II he happens to be
dreaming at that moment his soul
may not have time to return to the
body, and in consequence the man will
die.

At Marrakech there is house in

cries for help. the neighbors rushed in,
whereupon she appeared on the surf

people tried to seize her she disap-

early in the day that Mr.. Taft would

the leaders in control of the conven-
ton decided to give him as a running
mate his companion on the ticket in

There were many scattering votes on
the roll call that ensued.
The convention, amid much confu-
sion, adjourned sine die.
At no time was there any indication
of walk-out of Roosevelt delegates.
They expressed their revolt by silence.
The revolt was open from the moment
the permanent roll containing the
names of contested delegates was ap-
proved.
A ''valedictory" statement was read
in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt, asking
that his name be not presented and
that his delegates sit in mute protest
against all further proceedings.

The WORK That LASTS.

The work Of the quiet, conscientious
man does not cease when death stills
his heart He has planned too care
fully and wrought too conscientiously
for his unselfish labors to pass into
oblivion. The world has need OF his
services and often benefits by them
long after his race is run. He may
not have made much impression in his
lifetime, but for all that he built to
the best of his ability and to future
generations his work is Of enduring
value The quiet worker is never ex-
plotted by his. fellow-men. Indeed,
there are some persons who hold In
contempt the man who does not make
a stir in the world, says the Charles
ton News and Courier It is not al
ways the quality of the work that
counts, but rather it's spectacular ef-
fects. That these effects soon wear
away and leave exposed the rough
surfaces cannot be questioned, and
then It is that men turn with conf
dence to the results of the unobtru-
siVe, dependable worker, who strives
with his heart, as well as with his
head. In a recent article on the sub
ject the writer says of the quiet work
er that he builds for eternity, and
that eternity alone can discover the
fine finish of his workmanship. We
can take a piece Of furniture and
paint on it as brilliant a gloss as we
wish for, but it will not be long be-
fore the cheap brilliancy furnishes and
shows in all its ugliness the painted
wood beneath On the other hand,
the fine finish which the master work
man gives to the article he is re-
storing is attained only after the most
honest and painstaking efforts, which
he directs not to the attainment of
immediate final results, but to results
which lead gradually to the beautiful
finish which crowns his work.
