An Official Story Teller.

In several of the public libraries o.
Canada story telling TO children has
for some years been special feature.
Each Saturday morning from fifty to
one hundred children assemble at the
library in a room set apart for the pur-
pose and called the "children's room"
The ages of the children vary from six
to fourteen years. At st. John, N. B.
story telling has been continued now
for three years. This year 1t has been
found advisable to divide the children
according TO age and to hold two
classes of half an hour each. The
work has steadily grown In interest,
and the demand for books Of less
trivial type justlfies the work Of the
committee in charge. During the sum-
mer, when opportunity offers and a
story teller Of note is guest of the
city, notice Is given to sas library, and
it is often possible - hsvs a special

Mr.. Lansing stresses the fact that
the conference is TO be war and not
a peace conclave. He does not wish
anyone to get the impression that the
United States is thinking of peace
while preparing to exert Its utmost to
defeat Germany on the field of battle.
The secretary's anxiety on this score
is due to the speculation aroused by
the announcement before American
troops reached the firing line that Col,
onel House had been selected to pres
pare for the peace conference. Imme-
diately reports gained circulation that
President Wilson was expecting peace
this winter and that he did not intend
to send the American troops into ac-

hostilities had disappeared.

authorities claimed that man, George
Frederick Grandeer, was not forty
three years old, and therefore still

was that he was past his fOrty-third
birthday. In support Of this defense
he stated that he was born on June
3, 1874, the day George Frederick won
the Derby. and that he was named af-
ter the horse. The defense was &C.
