May a Lie BE JustifiabIe?

The matter fact, frank and business-iike way
in which in public life deliberately state
truths is illustrated by an incident the third
stallment OF Chauncey NJ. Depew's autobiography in
the current Scribner's Magazine. Mr. Depew
in England not long before the outbreak OF the
with Spain, thing that then before the de-
struction of the Maine. seemed almost inevitable.
Baron Rothschild was the representative OF hold
of vast amount OF Spanish securities and was
extremely anxious to avert the war. The Spanish
government, he told Mr. Depew, was under no flu
sion to the result of war with the United States
and the baron apparently authorized to enter
into secret negotiations for an avoidance OF the
conflict.
He therefore, asked Mr.. Depew to lay before
President Mckinley the terms. Spain would sur
render Porto Rico and the Philippines to the United
States and would grant to Cuba an autonomous gov
ernment.
Mr. Depew asked the baron why this matter
should not be taken up with Mr.. Hay. the American
ambassador to Great Britain The baron replied that
If it committed to the regular channels OF dplo
macy, publicity would follow and that would be fatal
Undoubtedly revolution would result and the prob
able overthrow of the monarchy.
Mr. Depew agreed to undertake the mission. The
baron further to impress him with the importance Of
absolute secrecy told him that il by any chance the
proposition should become public, he himself would
deny all knowledge of 1t.
Mr.. Depew submitted 1t to President Mckinley,
who was desirous Of avoiding the But before

NEW YORK CITY. March II. -
New York probably has more second
hand bookshops than any other city
in the world. Dozens of single shops,
with their outside tables piled high
with books, may be found on every
main thoroughfare, while. occasionally
whole clusters OF them appear to-
gether, as is the case on lower Fourth
avenue between Eighth and Four
teenth streets, and on Fifty ninth
street running east from Fifth ave-
nue..
To book lovers, these dingy book
rnarts are a never failing source OF
delight. There is an atmosphere of
romance and mystery about their
shelves that is never encountered in
the new book stores where the STAN
dard prices and neat paper jackets of
the volumes proclaim their absence Of
an eventful past. There is also a
certain tranquility about them that
is extremely gratifying to those who
like to choose their reading matter
with care and deliberation. You can
move slowly about a second hand
bookshop, inspecting book after book,
without interruption from brisk, am
bilious statesmen. You can read
whole chapters. even whole books
(many people do) in utter peace and
quiet while the proprietor rummages
industriously around somewhere in
the rear Of the store, apparently OBJ
livious to your presence. He isn't,
though, as you will soon perceive if
you carry absent mindedness too far
and attempt to walk out with a
volume without paying for it. I'D.
Second hand books are interesting
not only because of their bargain pos
sibilities, but because they are mys-
terious. They have lived eventful,
sometimes hectic. lives. and are usu-
ally widely Travelled. In the second
hand book stores of New York may
be found derelict volumes from all
cities and countries. Some of them
have fallen from high estate. as is
evident from the names and inscrip-
tions on the fly leaves, while others
have the tawdry, battered, and widely
rubber stamped appearance of out
casts that have passed restlessly from
one book seller to another. Some
times a book of very little value
brings a high price because of its
fly leaf which bears the autograph of
a celebrated individual. so that all
fly leaves are generally respected by
book sellers and are not torn out.
even though their inscriptions are
seemingly Of a trivial nature.
Watch Fly Leaves Carefully
Some of these fly leaves are worth

there was a quiet, studious young

Fabulous Bargains Are Rare
Some fabulous tales are told con-
corning the bargains always to be
found in secondhand book shops, but
it is probable that such delightful in
stances are rare. Most of the deal
ers are good judges of literature, as
well as shrewd business men. and
they are not likely to part with a
literary gem for a price below its
worth. The profit on used textbooks
and on the best sellers of yesteryear
is very slight, il is said, but that on
first editions, books that are out Of
print, and books of a sensational ma
ture is immense. Volumes Which.xey
