there; rubber floors assure
silence. The new building is
large enough to take care of all
the scholars in town.
When Messers. Atwood and
Nash planned the new library,
perhaps they didn't make pro-
vision for the canine population
of Chapel Hill. Anyhow, philo-
sophie dogs seem to enjoy the
calm and quiet of the fine build
ing. Last Tuesday night a
rather large mastiff was noticed
in the reserve reading room, the
place in which students do their
required readings. This parti-
cular specimen was as big as
DR., Charlie Mangum's police
dog, though he probably couldn't
boast of his parentage, as DR..
Charles pedigreed aristocrat.
But whether he came from one
of the best families, or whether
he knew little of his ancestors,
like some of our great men, he
spent Tuesday evening studying
men, women and books.
Rowing slowly from table to
table, he inspected every person
Iinthe room. Some he approved
of by wag of his tail, others he
merely shifted firing of his
examination of human person.
ality, he went over to the books
on the freshman shelves, giving
few minutes of his time to a
perusal of what is considered
necessary reading to a first
year man. Perhaps he saw no.
thing interesting, perhaps he
was a bit above any such books.
After a last stroll through the
room he sat down by the swing
ing doors at the entrance, wait

come along and open the door
for him. Soon student came
hurrying in, pushing the doors
wide open. Our friend, watching
his chance bounded through
when the doors swung open on
the other side, though he mar
rowly missed leaving part of his
tail between them.-Bradham.
