Officials Expect Total of
 $25,OOO Or S3O,OOO to Be Reported 
SOMETHING BEING
 HELD IN RESERVE
Cards Distributed to All Scho0ls-Re- ports Over Telephone Yesterday. New Book On Technical Sub
 jects Placed On Shelves

Officials of the public library stated yesterday that they fully expect to have between s25.ooo and ss0,Ooo subscribed in their campaign for money for books by to- morrow night
 This belief is based upon the returns coming in from various committees and upon something else which the campaign committee members say they have up their sleeves" Nearly S1000 was reported to Library Director Milan yesterday over the telephone by various committees. The total for the campaign has now reached nearly s16,O00.
 Many interesting features have devel- oped as the campaign progresses One yesterday was donation of s4 by the girls of the Margaret Allen school and a promise of 8 donation of 10 cents from each Of the 50 girl students of this insti- tuition for each month through the next scholastic year. It is such donations as thls which are bringing most pleasure and qualification to the library workers. Many Surprises for Workers The committee members report that their work has one general peculiarity in
 that man whom they had expected to give them $1O0 will give them about Sl0
 and persons from whom they expected
 $ or $l0 will make a $50 or s75 subscrip-
 tion They say this shows that it is the ambitious working men and women who
 are most interested in the library and
 know what it can do for them. and this
 Is just the ideal which the library board
 has been working toward. they say They state they want the rich mans money all right, but they'd rather have the poor and ambitious mans good will and coop eration now and they'll get the rich man money later through taxation" Cards were distributed yesterday to all of the public school children inviting their parents to make subscriptions through their children to the teacher for the li- brary cause if they have not already given In this way the library officials hope to reach thousands of people whom they know can make but small subscrip- l tions but which they want for two req sons: The small subscriptions added to-
 gether make a large sum, and when once a man gives to the public library. no
 matter how small was his gift, he takes
 new and personal interest in the institu- tion. Results from the school canvass
 are expected today and tomorrow The reports received yesterday over the telephone are as follows, the final lunch con to be held tomorrow at noon at the Gold Lion. when the final reports of all teams in all parts of the city will be re- ceived:

'You startle mew
Listen; he has fallen in love-"
Why, thought he was to marry
a. princess in his native country"
That was the plan, but the
glamour of the gilded life of Paris has
made him forget. The witchery of
fair, false face has charmed him.
Singh Ali has met and has fallen
victim to La Sirene."
The revelation needed no added
"details. La Sirene! A baleful cloud
struck my imagination at the men
ton of that name-ill omened, motor
ieus, tinged with memories of dis
grace, embezzlement, suicide. A
vampire for gold, she had fascinated
victim after victim, thirsting only for
money, leading her prey to the brink
of an abyss-honor, respect and for
tune gone!
"And the rajah has met this wo-
man." l asked.
HE is completely under the domi-
nation of her destinations She is
playing a new role with him. She
poses as a cruelty deserted wife. He
has asked her to marry him. AS his
prospective fiancee she is propriety
itself, awaiting, she claims, a divorce
from her husband"
And Singh Alp"
rs lavishing his wealth upon
her. He has leased a magnificent
country place near the city. There
he has Benghi, his favorite pet, in
little park, caparisoned with a how
dab and fittings well worthy the pal
ace-like Enclosure in which the ami
NAL exercises. The week is one series
of fetes. All of them La Sirene at
tends-with chaperone! There is
a musical there tonight l have
cards. Will you attend?"
l shall never forget that evening.

vampire was almost touching. She,
was truly wonderful singer and
after the delivery of some operate
gems, the rajah publicly presented
her with a necklace worth a kings
ransom.
l caught up an incident related Of
the capricious beauty. 1t seemed that
Benghi had sulkily refused to taBe a.
comfit she proffered, as if jealous of
the attentions Of his master The
enraged siren had struck Benghi with
the keepers hook, binding one eye.
A few days later we learned that
La Sirene had about plucked the in
fatuated Victim Of his wiles. There
were rumors that his liquid wealth
was about gone Then he had to give
up his princely nest and some of his
jewels were seized for debt.
His father has called him home"
explained my friend, land has refused
to furnish any more means. What
he had La Sirene has devoured. Singh
Ali is practically bankrupt"
Through it all the young rajah
never wayered in his faith in the wo-
man who had charmed him. 1t was as
if magic spell made him forget his
home fancee, his fealty to father
and country.
La Sirene had riddled the last
shred of two millions, y reported my
friend to me. Worse than that, she
has beggared the rajah. She ex-
pressed a wish to own Benghi. The
rajah sent her the splendid animal,
and what do you Think"
shrugged my shoulders, expecting
any treachery or meanness from the
siren corcorant.
"She intends to sell it to a me-
nagerie man, who offers large price
for the animal The nabob has been
taken in. She has practically desert
ed him.

Next, and possibly best, when
the real significance is considered,
showed the possibilities of the

vegetables and fruits that con be
grown on these lands with CORN

made the watching crowd smack

The Loyal Temperance Ligion'

great deal of attention, being
made up entirely in white. with
blue ribbons streaming out and
about fifty girls and two mataons
all in white singing numerous
