People seem satisfied to know that all
the wisdom ever produced is safely
stored in the libraries and do not in
sist on going and seeing for themselves.
1t is a great comfort to a man to
realize, as he walks into the moving
picture theater, that no matter if he
should forget all he knew he would
learn it over again by going to a library
and drawing out an armful of books.
Libraries were once very rare and in
frequent. Only the big cities had them.
Nowadays the town OF 1000 people
which hasn't a library, is viewed with
suspicion by its neighbors. Libraries
are of two kinds-Carnegie and home
built. About 20 years ago Andrew Car
negie started on the task of speaking
the map of the United States with Il
braries, and built many hundreds. to
the intense disgust of the enterprising
towns which had just finished paying
for their own buildings.

Libraries
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of -EAt Good Old SiwBHh.o
A LIBRARY is a cold storage ware

A LIBRARY is a cold storage ware
n house for knowledge.
4 After knowledge has first been
canned in books it Is then placed on
library shelves, where It can be gotten
at any hour of the day by tall young
lady with spectaeles, for the benefit Of
the public. 1t is a great comfort to
know that wisdom is immortal, and that
even though the man who produces a
throbbing thought may forget it and
afterwards be run over by a taxicab
while begging for his dinner, his i'm
mortal words viii sleep forever on some
library shelf.
Libraries are pleasant, sunny places,
lined with rows of books, and are rarely
Over-crowded. This is one of their
finest features. No one ever had his
toes trampled on while trying to get
into a public library. No lives have been
lost by panic-strie1en mObs, fighting to
get out of a library. Libraries have
burned down, it Is true, but the seeth-
ing attendance inside always puts on its
hat and walks out without harm.
