LIRRARIEs I'D THE MAR.

A very interesting fact in connec-
ton with the war develops in the Sc
lection of reading in the public IL
braries. 1t is said that a radical
change is seen there in the demand
for serious reading.
Most significant Is the call by fac
tory hands for books pertaining TO
their own trades. They now study
the records of European methods, so
that they may be better equipped to
meet the expected changes toward
|American-made products.
Wide-awake librarians encourage
this movement by obtaining and dis
playing adequate books to meet this
enlightened demand.
Naturally European history, travel,
geography and historic romance are
Ideplacing the popular demand for the
|breath-catching novel. Books on mil
6itary service come first. with a wait
Iing list. Naval engineering is partic-
Eularly popular.

We have heard about all kinds Of
individual meanness. About the
man who put a nickel in the blind
mans cup and took out a quarter in
change-abOut the woman who used
the holes in her doughnuts for nap
kin rings, etc, etc. but for pure down
right family meanness-for collective
cussedness. the following takes the
plum pudding:
"a curious exposition of callousness
and greed was recently made in a
civil suit brought against a surgeon.
He became interested in the case of a
cripple whom he found begging in the
street, and by an operation requiring
great skill removed his disability. The
relatives of the cripple promptly
brought suit against the physician
for removing their means of support,
asserting that as a cripple. the youth
had brought them in an average of
about SO daily, while now they were
compelled to support him until he
could gain the means of earning his
living. The judge promptly dismiss
ed the suit on hearing the case for the
prosecution"

LOVE LETTERS AND LEGACIEs.

Because a man is fond of a, woman
and writes her fervid love letters, does
il follow that he must leave her the
bulk of his fortune?
This is a puzzle put up to the courts
of lew Jersey.
Congressman Robert Bremner Of
that state died recently, and his
nurse, Miss Theodore Nash, has sued
his estate for $4,000, terrifying her
claim with a big bunch of love letters
warm enough 20 Indicate that he was
devoted TO her.
Naturally, the letters are published
and thus Miss Nash is qualified for an
actress in the movies or vaudeville.
Perhaps this, and not a legacy, is
her legitimate reward for being loved
if any reward at all is due
1t is a question for courts solemn
y to decide; and if they decide that a
woman is earning a legacy by being
loved or by receiving and keeping love
letters, it is hoped the court of final
jurisdiction viii give full and explicit
reason for it.
Meanwhile, the affair furnishes an
ether hint TO ardent natures generally
that love letters are not always in
good taste

PRIEST BARROWS REVIEWS THE
ENQUIRY.

Editor News-Times:
The 18th inst. l took the liberty
of addressing through your Letters
of the People column an enquiry as to
whether it is the intention of the
legislative counsel of the local gas
company to attempt to procure the
present general assembly to take
away from these communities the
right longer to tax the gas franchises
in Mishawaka and South Bend. If
Mr.. McInerny and his employers did
not see fit TO inform the public upon
this question, which has been much
rumored of late, it was suggested that
perhaps reference of my query to the
legislative bureau or The News-Times
might result in obtaining the sought
for information.
To date neither the counselor nor
the gas company have seen fit to
make reply. l take ii that if the ques-
ton was referred to your legislative
bureau, such bureau is awaiting a
reasonable lapse Of time before MAX
ing such reply. If you are not in
formed by the gas company or its at
torney as to his or its intention rela-
tive to such proposed legislation, and
if you have not referred same to your
representative at Indianapolis. may ]
again request, for the information of
the public, that the company or its
legislative counsel make answer. If
you are not already informed of a
forthcoming answer. and have not re-
ferred same TO your legislative bu-
reau. may / trouble you again to ask
you to make such reference Of that
enquiry. together with this COM
municatiOn. If the purpose of the
gas company is to serve the public.

is to serve the utility I can see no
