Pepys' Library.

Pepys' library, since 1924, has been
in the possession of Magdalene col
lege, Cambridge. Pepys directed in
his will that his collection of books
and manuscripts should be transferred
on the death of his nephew, John
Jackson, to either Trinity college or
Magdalene college, Cambridge, and
required that the college which re-
ceived the books should submit to an
annual visitation from the other, the
purpose of which should be to ascer'
tain whether the trust was being
worthily fulfilled. Gould l be sure,
Pepys wrote, "of a constant success
sion of heirs from my said nephew
qualified like himself for the use OF
such library, should not entertain
a thought of its ever being alienated
from them"

Baboon on the Rampage.

A baboon which escaped from a
show at Dudley, Worcester, England,
attacked three people In the main
street Of the town on a recent night,
and In the subsequent chase scaled
walls and reached the roofs of houses,
where 1t had to be shot The animal
had been conveyed on the day of the
escape from the barracks at Lichfield,
the soldiers there parting with their
regimental pet, which had travelled
with them from Gibraltar. At the
show it was chained to the wall, but
during the evening wrenched itself
free, and knocking an attendant down,
rushed into the street, which was filled
with people. A boy was severely Bit
ten on the leg, and had to be taken
to the hospital, and a woman and q
girl received lesser injuries. The ami
NAL, after being followed by an excit.
ed crowd, reached the roof of a house,
and although it eagerly devoured the
fruit that was thrown, 1t showed fght
when its capture was attempted.

WASTING TIME OVER DETAILS
Writer Points Out Mistake Made by
Many Men Who Occupy Executive
Positions.

Many man in a high executive po-
sttion impairs his efficiency by trying
to do work that low priced subordt
nate could accomplish Just as well.
Some managers are proud of calling
themselves masters of details when
really the details have nearly mas
tered them" says a writer IN System.
7 remember the treasurer OF a bank
note company, who was forever un-
dertaking to show his clerks how much
better he could do their work than
they could, One day the president of
the concern took him by the shoulders,
backed him into his private office,
rolled an armchair to the window, and
said solemnly: Your business here in
office hours is to sit in that chair and
think. That is what you are paid for
so do it'll
HE had the right experience of de-
tail, but instead of using it to propel
his train of thought he kept it running
back and forth over its own little, linn
tied track, and his activity didn't get
him anywhere"

SLAVERY OF COLONIAL DAYS
More Than Half a Million Whites
Were Held in Bondage During
That Period.

Could we draw the curtain which
conceals the life of prehistoric people.
we should see that the servant prob
lem is as old as the human race. In
deed, If It we're possible for extremes
to meet, cave-dwellers and denizens of
twentieth century sky-scrapers would
doubtless converse alphabetically on
this neverending problem. Its exist
ence is due to the universal desire of
man to use the strength Of others for
his own profit and pleasure-an IN
changeable trait of human nature.
During the colonial period of our
history, service was performed in the
main by two classes-the negro slave
and the indentured white servant,
writes Prof. Marcus w. Jernegan in
Harper's Magazine. The white serv-
ant. a semi-slave, was more important
in the seventh century than even the
negro slave, in respect to both num-
bers and economic significance. Per
haps the most pressing of the early
needs of the colonists was for a GER
tain and adequate supply of labor. It
was the white servants who supplied
this demand and made possible rap
I'd economic development, particularly
Of the middle and southern colonies.
In 1888 there were 10000 of these
semtslaves in Virginia, composing
about one-sixth OF the population,
while nearly two-thirds of the immi-
grants to Pennsylvania during the
eighteenth century were white serv-
ants. Every other colony made great
er or less use Of them, and it is likely
that more than half million persons
were of this class during the colonial
period.
