BON'T YOu KNow ME 2 | AM THE Guy you TREATED For. PALPITATION OF THE HEART The people of the City of New York do not seem to believe in the | truth of the above pronouncement. It begins to look as though they be+ lieved that there is something that is greater and Setter than Mind, The news that comes to us every now and then from the Public Li- brary Committee—the committee whose business it is to look out for the mental food of the people of the city—is not very encouraging. The head of the most vital department of the Public Library said not | . Jong ago, “We are getting fairly desperate. Our best associates are leav | ng simply because we haven't anything worth while to offer them, with the result that the entire machinery for the distribution of books is in danger.” It is a crowning shame! Toots of the hair! ‘The Public Library should be the pride and glory of the city. We ehould point to it as the dwellers in the city by the Acropolis used to point to the statue of Athenae. It should be the focus of our ambition, the centre and culminating point of our civic pride. | Speaking of the city of Athens, the little city of great men, it fs not | @s widely known as it ought to be, that with only some forty thousand free citizens, it produced during the eighty years of its glory more illus: | trious men, more minds of the first order, than have been produced in all » the rest of the world from the beginning of history down vo the present | time. Let us remember Athens and profit by her example. Let us make the Public Library the “apple of our eye,” the institution which shall re fect our highest aspiration. Provide for its efficiency by securing for its service the very finest talent, genius, heart and devotion to be had. Make it “worth while” for men and women of the best brain and purpose to identify themselves with tts work. Take the Public Library out of politics. Place it so high above all partisan considerations that it will be as safe from them as is the sun in the heavens; and free from all handicaps, with abundant funds and under the best possible guidance and management, let it, like the sun, scatter its Tight far and wide. As another has well sald: “Whether we realize it or not, the Library {s building our future. Simply because it offers everything and compels nothing it is the most successful evangel in the teaching of English"— the noblest language of them all, the language that seems destined to overspread the world, In some districts the Public Library makes practically the only American centre for the community. But far more important than any influence it may have on the present generation ‘s the effect it will have on the future of the city, nation and race. The future goes to school to the libraries, One-third of all the books Jent in the city are lent to children. Out of those books they evolve the dreams that will sway the policies and destinies of the men and women who will come after them. Knowledge is power—the power of Mind, the power of Intelligence, the power of the Truth that makes us free, and it is largely through the public libraries that sovereign agent is enabled to do its work.

(The New York Evening World) Thimble-Nimble Has a Surprise. HE the Catawauling-Caters pillar dragon was a long way over onl meadow. Sometimes the wings of the, aero-moths on which Romp, Rufit and Thimble-Nimble flew barely grazed the tops of the field flowers, Then the riders could catch the delicate perfume of the lavender thistle and its neighbors. Again the three ad- venturers were wafted high above thea tree tops But whether they flew high or low the footprints made by the “Quaint Roy" were kept in view, They made a line a8 far ahead as eyes could eee and Romp and Rufit began to wonder just how long it would take two wee creatures, such as they now were, to travel to the end of that line. Fo they were still determined to search out the boy and discover how it wo that the enchantment which had turned him Into a goose had come abi It was as they flew over a patch of wild cucumber vine that Thimble- Nimble pricked up his ears. The areo-motha, too, seemed to have heardgee for they began to descend in narrowing circles until they hovered just over the opening of the Catawaulingatenpillar’s cave. The huge green head of the monster protruded from the opening. great tears which streamed from his eyes formed @ large lake, whi grew in size with each fresh outburst, The mighty noise of his grief rock@l the insect world for miles about, His great sorrow over the loss of his dear dragoness-wife caused him to forget to arm himself against the Furies Wuzzie clan of which Thimble-Nimble was the leader. He held before hi no leaf to ward off the needle thrusts of the lifelong foe. Thimbk Nimble rejoiced. Success was assured, He bent down and whispered his trusty areo-moth and took an extra firm hold as they swooped sud: denly down, The areo-moths which carried Romp and Rufit followed. The Caterwauling-Caterpitiar uttered a loud and long lament, opening his Jaws so wide that he had to close his eyes, Thimble-Nimble drew hinge sword, Just as he was about to thrust It clear down the throat of thet monster the mouth ed, the eyes opened and looked straight into thomwe of the moth upon which the Fuzzie-Wuaale leader was mounted. The greeg ' a cry of Joy and, stretching his horned body far out of thy he embraced with all his arms moth, rider and all, “Oh, my dear mother,” he rejoiced; “I knew you would come to coma fort me in time of sorrow." ¥ It was now Thimble-Nimble’s time to weep. wet 8 annnannnon nei piannonsonannnispnitabisdaiiisisiiisiiniaaam } Cousin Eleanor’s Klub Kolumn | The Evening K lair of e pater gt cave Cousin Eleanor: Like to think that they are the fea.
