BEBLOMANIA Is ODD DISEASE
Shrewd Business Men Often Waste
Thousands of Dollars in Making
Collection of Books.

A man, shrewd, far-sighted, having
evolved a career and fortune out Of
tested and exact training, will take
up book collecting and plunge into it
to the depth of thousands of dollars
on the strength Of more puny ac-
quaintance with the subject than he
would bring to bear on the purchase of
a necktie.
A senator commissioned book
dealer to supply his shelves with stand
ard sets, the only proviso being that
books and space should come out even.
A lady signed contracts to the tune
Of many thousands for what was rep
resented as set Of first edition Dick
ems in de luxe bindings, only to dis
cover after she had paid more than
half that the books were late editions
and the bindings stuffed paper. The
dealer is now about half through a
genuine edition of prison cell.
A man unfamiliar with language
paid several hundred dollars for set
of Italian novelists in translation be-
cause he wanted to read the stories
that went with some very daring illus
trations, only to find that the conclu-
sion Of the liveliest anecdotes slid into
French.
I suppose to the average normal
mind there is no folly quite to equal
that of paying hundred dollars for
a first edition when later and bet
ter edition cries at one from the 25-
cent stand, writes Stanley K. Wilson
in the New York Sun. That the fact
of a mistake in the pagination Of the
"Eikon Basiltke"-the transpOSitiOn Of
one bracket or fgures-enhances by
many dollars the value of the book
seems to us too fantastic for belief.
That a collector will cheerfully give

The SCHOOLGIRLS Mind.

The mind of schoolgirl does not

the winter, 1t transforms values, it

DAUGHTER OF SEATTLE
 ATTORNEY DIES

VALDEZ, Nov. 16.-Maurice D. Leehey, the well-known Seattle attor- ney, now in Valdez, received a mes sage this morning stating that his daughter Ruth, passed away yesterday at the family home in Seattle. She was his only living daughter, 14 years of age, and had been i'll only few days. Previous reports stated that her condition was not serious, so that the shock to MT. Leehey was the more crushing because the news was wholly unexpected.
 When MT. Leehey left home a few weeks ago to come to Valdez his dau- ghter was in usual health. She was a student at Florence Ridge convent, in Seattle, and very bright and popu- lar girl. Three Valdez girls are stu dents at the sam eschool, Margaret Miller and Anne and Mary Lyons.
 MT. Leehey has only one surviving child, son who has joined the army that is to fight for America in France, Valdez Miner.
