long career in public service has made him a

The purpose OF the Federal plant is to sup

plate which private manufacturers can turn
out
Bethlehem and Midvale have weathered
storms in times Of the most moderate Federal
outlay for armor plate. The new plant would
take up part Of the excess demand. and there
would be more than enough 10 keep many
private firms busy. The right OF private en-

STORY OF THE LIBRARIES

Libraries. so common today have a long
history. Away back in Ancient Egypt there
were libraries, though remains of these coll
lectons have yet been found Remnants of
Babylonan libraries have been found. Not only
remnants, but whole libraries of clay tablets
with cuneiform inscriptions, carefully sheved
in regular order in the temples.
Many of the old libraries are famous in his
tory. There was, for instance, the great library
which King Assurbanpal of Assyria gathered
in his palace at Nneveh. The subjects treated
include history, science. religion, grammar and
phiology. The first of the great libraries of
classical times was the Alexandrian Library
founded by the first of the Ptolemies
In the ancient Libraries the books, usually rolls
of papyrus, were kept in closets, In somewhat
small rooms, which seem Ito have been ar
ranged for the use of books. Catalogues were
prepared, The librarian was commonly a dis
tnguished scholar, and ranked as an important
public officer The first librarian of whom there
is any record was a Babylonan named
Amil-anu.
Julian the Apostate in the fourth century
founded libraries, concerning which he wrote:
''Some love horses, some birds, others wild
beasts, but from boyhood / have been possessed
with the desire af acquiring and owning books"
Constantine the Great founded a library at Com
stantinople. In 1t was deposited the only au-
thenuc copy OF the proceedings of the Council
OF Nice, and among its curiosites were a manu-
script of Homer, one hundred and twenty feet
in length, written in letters of gold on ser
pents' skin, and a copy of the Four Gospels
bound In plates Of gold weighing Is pounds and
enriched with precious stones. These treasures
were destroyed by fire.
In the Middle Ages books and learning were
preserved in the monasterIes. Each Benedic-
tine house contained scriptorium. or writing
room, where manuscripts were copied for sale
or exchange, also a school, open to All who
desired instruction 1t was at that time that
the popular use Of books began. Heretofore
their treasures had been within the reach of
only few scholars. Really public" libraries.
however, are of much later date

have hunted for 1t since I have grown up.
but have not been able to find 1t because do not
know either its name or its author. Can you
find out for me? MADISON.
The poem Is called 1.-THE River Tlme." and
1t was written by Benjamin f. Taylor 1t fol-
lows:
oh! a wonderful stream is the River Time,
AS it runs. through the realm of tears.
With fautless rhythm and musical rhyme.
And a broader sweep and surge sublime,
AS 1t blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters drifting like flakes of snow.
And the summers, like birds between.
And the years in the sheaf-how they CONS
and go,
On the rivers breast with its ebb and its now.
AS it gdes in the shadow and sheen
There's a magical isle up the River Time
Where the softest of airs are playingi
There's cloudless sky and tropical climo
And song as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with roses are straying.
And the name of the isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There brows of beauty and bosoms OF snow.
There are heaps of dust-oh! we loved them so'
There are trinkets and uesses of hair,
There are fragments of song that nobody knows
There are parts of an Infants prayer;
There's lutte unswept, a harp without stringSi
There are broken vows and pieces or rings
And the garments our loved ones used to wear
There are hands that are waved. when the fairy
shore
BY the mirage is lifted in airi
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent
roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before
When the wind down the river is fair.
oh, remembered for aye. be that blessed isle
All the day of our life till night
And when evening gloWs with It's peautiful shlii9'
And our eyes are closing in slumpers awhile,
May that Greenwood of souls be in sight!

Gems From Luck in Disguise"

IS novel written In good faith by William J,
NeNtcr. revised and runctuatCd by l.. r. cutter
and published In 1850 ty the John w. Lowell Com
pnny, of New York;
VITE LEFT Mrs. Means discussing with her
Wv husband the care OF their SON.
She feared, should she introduce the subject,
that he would enter into lengthy discussion,
endeavoring to substantiate in her mind, by
numerous differences and logical syllogsms
that her projects were gau2y and woman's folly
and thus weaken her faith.
Much TO her surprise he made rcsponce
at all, but took 1t in calmly and without the
slightest porccptable irritation of mind.
While she engaged in administering to
him the law peculiar to her sex only she
emphatcally impressed her thoughts and as
all the while egotistica Importance that
would discount a symphoral assemblage Of
learned philosophers, he Mr.. Means. kept his
eyes vaguely in the direction of the window.
His seeming inertness of mind, the subject,
proved conclusivcly to Mrs Means the napti-
tude of her remarks on his mind in the end.
Several minutes had elapsed ere the silence
broken.
The unusual mum of Mr.. Means on this occa-
sion created an ardent desire in the breast
of his better half, to know whether not her
strong language had had it's desired effect or,
had irritated him, SO after pondering the matter
over in her mind, she thought best to let the
matter rest for the time being and introduce
n new subject believing the seed she was en-
dcavoring to would fall productive soil.
SO she thought she would question him re-
guarding the anticipated trip to Cincinnati he
was preparing to make in few days.
