reputation of being artistically In

success it has attained In that dlrec-
ton few persons know that Chicago
has erudition TO scatter about the
country. Yet this city Is known, In
fact, as the greatest distributing cen

Publication OF school books Is mys-
FERROUS process, az far as the general
public IS concerned. In this business
there is competition, and fierce compe-
tition, too. not only in selling, but in
buying as well. Competition in sell

buying it is another thing entirely.
The Three RS company, for In

Jonesville that the Alphabet company's
school readers in use there are in

the opportunity Of selling its own
readers in Jonesville, taking old and
dog cared Alphabet company readers
in exchange. making therefore a dis

These two deadly rivals here find
common basis in protection against
their enemy, the second hand dealer.
Rather than have these books, &C.
quired by exchange, sent through the
dealers hands to undersell new books
in other cities, each company is will

buy at good price any copies that
may be left over after the exchange.
This price may be much larger than
the discount given for the books in

But the second hand dealer Is not to
be put out of business in this way.
Hundreds Of thousands of new and
used school books are brought yearly
into Chicago by the five firms en-
gagged here in that form Of trade. They
are acquired from retail dealers whose
market has failed through new de-
cision of local school board and
from the smaller publishers who have

Union asking that organization to adj
nit school children to the home and

has been suggested, it is said, in meet

Mrs. Charles B. Ball, the Vice re-

attorney, appeared before the commit

Ball reiterated the proposition that
the state has no power to investigate,
and has nothing whatever to do with
the association. She said children I'M

MOVE FOR PROHIBITION
"Dry Leaders Propose Not to Redis-

Richmond, March eff strong
movement headed in the House by
the leading prohibitionists is successful
there will he no redistricting Of Sen
ate and House districts in this Legis-

League was shown at yesterdays
session, when Speaker Byrd moved
to dismiss the bill reported by the
Committee ON Privileges and Flee
tons, and over which that committee
has worked for more than q month.
The cause of this remarkable stu
alton arises in the fact that because
of the growth of population in the cit
les, they are given larger represen-
tati0n in the General Assembly. This
is viewed with alarm by those who
desire to have prohibition legislation
passed, and they will endcavor to re-

of the necessary inequalities which

Thomas Harrison, Dean Of the Clerical
Foree In Washington, In Odd
Request.

tinuous service In the government Oh

three years, a longer period than the
average life time, at the same desk IL

No record comparable to this ey.
lists In this government, and Il is
doubtful If any such record ever ex'
listed before.
And there Is another thing about
Harrison that is unprecedented. He
has asked to be denoted. He has
volunteered to take position of less
salary and less Importance, and has
insisted upon It when his superior off
GERS were disinclined to authorize 1t.
A year ago Harrison went to the
acting secretary Of the navy and
asked to be transferred. He said that
old age had come upon him; that his
faculties could not be expected to re-
spond much longer. and that before
incompetency forced Itself upon him
he wanted to take up other duties less
responsible.
Mr.. Winthrop listened to the veter"
an clerk. and then refused the request.
The secretary said that any man with
Harrison's record was entitled to full
pay to the end Of his life. II not for
present efficiency, then for the work
he had done in the past.
This compliment and the recognition
of his services pleased Harrison. 1t
made him feel that he had not spent
his sixty-two years at hard work
without his reward. And he returned
to work and remained at work until
q week or SO ago.
Then the old man wrote a letter to
the secretary, renewing his request
that he be relieved Of responsibility.
but that he be given some work that
would support him for the remainder
OF his life.
Harrison was obdurate. He had
made up his mind to turn his response.
BILE work over to younger man and
fnally convinced the secretary OF the
merit OF his plea. This time Mr.. Win
throp stood aside and ordered the
transfer to be made.
Harrison Is now eighty years old.
