Insulting Secondhand Books.

| From the Boston Transcript.
| What insult is this which the police OF
Boston would cast upon secondhand
books, to assify them in company with
secondhand clothing. AS if it were
not a plain fact of record that cast
off garment is a garment demeaned.
while a second hand book, rightly con-
sidered, is often treasure enhanced, a
volume possessed of added charm from
the touch of it's unknown past. Shall
books that bear the arms of some old
English house be registered side by
side with mongrel pieces of junk? Sure
ly the world is not yet SO wicked that
the dealers and public need thus be
protected against the few stolen books
which may now and then come, un-
recognized, into their hands. 1t were
sad. indeed. if musty red tape must bind
the old shops Of Cornhill. where so
much trust is placed in mere human ma
ture that the dealers temptingly spread
their wares on the sidewalk for all the
world to read and enjoy. and where
customers are permitted to look and to
linger through all Of an hour unchai-
lenged.
The chief attraction. indeed. Of many
a secondhand bookshop Is it's appear
ance Of frank disarray. The tumble OF
cries and rekindles interest as IL in n
search for long buried treasure. Tn
like the proud new books. sticky and
hot from the press, these volumes seem
pleasantly careless as to whether they
shall or shall not be bought, and ac-
cordingly they dispose one only tho
more to bear them away from their
perches. No rows of brightly gilded
titles intimidate the eye. Hence IL seeks
with all boldness for name that esps-
cially pleases IL. Bind such shops int
n strait Jacket and you press out all ~
their cha rm. Lighter matters aside. the
dealers would have large cause for
complaint should this faded blue law
really be made TO affect them, reauir.

U-BOAT LINER REPORTED in

New York, July 1-According to
the Transatlantic Trust Company
unofficial fiscal agent in the United
States for Austria-Hungary, the Ger
man submarine long reported er
route to the United States has ac-
tually arrived and is now concealed
somewhere in Chesapeake Bay.
The announcement was made IN
an advertisement inserted in a Hun
garian newspaper today offering to
transmit money to Hungary via the
vessel. According to this ad., the
U-boat arrived from Hamburg at a
point near Baltimore on Thursday
morning.
Officials of the bank refused to dis
cuss the matter, intimating that sec
rccy as to the undersea boats hiding
place was necessary in order that
there should be no clash with the Am
erican Government over its status.

Washington, D. c., July Tine

Paine demolished the Bible; but after
he had crawled despairingly into q
drunkard's grave in 1909, the book
took such leap that since that time
more than twenty times as many
copies have: been scattered through;
out the world as ever were made be-
fore since the creation of man.
For a book that has been exploded
so many times, this book still shows
signs of considerable life. I have
heard of a man travelling round the
country exploding this book, and
showing up "the mistakes of Moses,
at about two hundred dollars night.
1t is easy work to abuse Moses at
two hundred dollars night especial
ly az Moses is dead and cannot talk
back. 1t would be worth something
after hearing the infidel on "the mis-
takes of Noses" to hear Moses on
"the mistakes of the infdel." When
Moses could talk back, he was rather
difficult man to deal with. Pharaoh
tried it, and met with poor success.
James and Jambres withstood Moses,
and, it is said, found grave IN the
Red Sea. Koran, Dathan, and ADRIAN
tried it, and went down so deep that
they have not yet got back. But now
Moses is dead, and it is easy to abuse
him. 1t does not take a very brave
beast to kick a dead lion.

SAYS WORLD
is PAGAN J

That "Truth" should be the motto
Of the churches and especially of the
religious activities among young peo-
pie was the gist Of the addresses
made Thursday at the Young Peo-
pies Christian Unicn convention in
Philadelphia. Rev. Paul Calhoun,
spoke on Essentials in Witnessing. "
The church of today, he said, could
well afford to initiate the principles
Of the admcn in their formal adop-
ton of Truth" as their official mot
to. He said the world today was pagan
in its tendencies, manifesting God
less Indifference to the Scriptures, to
religious services, or to anything of
a spiritual character. Sunday schools
young peoples organizations and the
divers auxiliary societies about the
Word of God, he said, forgot their
work and spent their time in frivolity
and worldliness while the congrega-
tions were occupied entirely too much
with expensive choirs and high class
oratorical preachers.

WILL TATTooED ON BACK
Unique Testament Found Picked into
The Cuticle of Man Whom
Footpads Shot

Pittsburgh, July The most re
markable method of executing and fill
ing a will was unearthed here toda!
when DR.. Schildreker, the Coroner:
physician, discovered the last tesla
ment of George Ballantyne HOOD
(who was shot and fatally injured
some time ago by footpads) tattooec
on his back.
The will which was surrounded by
beautiful scroll work read:
"All my earthly possessions I be-
uueath tc my beloved mother"
At first it was thought that Hood
had died intestate. After the body
had been brought to the Morgue,
Dr.. Schidreker, in performing a
post-mortem examination, found the
tattooed will.
With the exception of his face,
hands and feet, Hoods entire body
was covered with tattoolng. Artistic
likenesses Of women, animals, the
Crucifxion and other des igns pre-
dominated.
Hood months ago sustained gunshot
wounds which caused his death. Three
footpads held him up and attempted
to rob him of diamonds, worth $4,000
which he always wore. Hood resisted
the highwaymen, and in the fight was
shot through the chest and abdomen,
He never fully recovered from his
wounds.
The mother of Hood is dead, but
distant relatives are believed to live
in this territory.

ANOTHER FLYING
DUTCHMAN

Admiral Winslow reports that his
fleet has made complete survey OF
! the west coast of Mexico and has
ben unable to find any trace of the
Japanese warships whose presence
there was reported a few days ago
This is the third or fourth time in
the last twelve months that japanese
warships have been reported hover
ing around Mexico, with obviously
felonious intent, and every time it
has turned out to be phantom
feet, existing only in excited imagi-
nations.
The Baltimore Sun in this connec-
zion says former Congressman Hobson
has been training us so long to expect
something dreadful from Japan that
great many of us have got into
the habit of taking fearful joy in
the terror which is his speciality, like
children shivering with delight over
Embarrassing ghost story. But It
is as disappointing to the hysterical
to find that this yellow peril fails to
matcrialize as it is to the lady who
can never discover under her bed the
villanious man who, she has come to
believe, has designs upon her peace
ard happiness.
Sometimes a patient femme search
er does find man under her bed.
Perhaps in the course Of two or three
generations we shall find a Japan
csc fleet hiding at some remote point
on our cost. But we are very much
afraid that the youngest of our
alarmists will not live to see the day
to which they have been looking for
ward with so much pleasing horror.
