Jess Wizards career on the stage
was a short one for the chief reason
that it was an Improbable one. And
while Jess lack of ability as an actor
probably had something to do with
the demise of his thespian tour the
foolishness of his managers in charg-
ing such exorbitant prices of admis-
sion had more, no doubt. Gentleman
Jim Corbett holds the distinction of
being the only pugilist who ever made
anything like a success on the stage.

II Is matter of remark not only in
European countries, but in the United
States, that while periodical literature
has increased because Of tie war the
demand for hard backed books, per
manent literature, has fallen off and
that the bibliomaniac, the collector of
rare and old books, is no more abroad.
The last of the noted buyers of old
books and other curios was the late
John Pierpont Morgan, whose i'm
mense wealth enabled him to indulge
his love for such things
Preceding Mr.. Morgan and other
book collectors of the nineteenth cen
tury was the Englishman, Richard
Heber (1733-1S34. The value of his
library-estimate at 10000 volumes
was placed at 100000. OF these
books, shortly after his death. 117,613
were sold in London. The auctioneers
hammer brought e56,775. for that
which had cost him G77,15O. Strange
to say, when his will was discovered
and read the library was not even
mentioned. He had had the interest
ing labor of gathering these thousands
of books and having done so apparent
ly had no interest as to what should
become Of them after his death.
