Let Tots Pick Own B.toks. Librarians in charge of chi.’dren'j departments were advised to go slow in their enthusiasm to render service by Mrs. Edna Lyman Scott of Seattle at a meeting of the section on library work with children of the American Library association at Berkeley. She said the ytrarian was likely to overdo her work in selecting books for children, says the Oakiar.d Trib une. Let the children select their own books so they may develop their brains and find inspiration in the dis covery of books they like, .Mrs Scott advised. -iE FINALLY FOUND DONALD A(-*i eg Meeting Tnat Enabled Doc tor Mac <99 to Deliver Message From Mother to Her Son. r *r Norman Mac I rod the famous *:*h dir toe. before rial Unj India, c a »<d oa an old Highland soman In ugpe. sars a enter In the Scot American ""When ye gang tae • she said “yell be seein' ma that went aaa tae India ten * a*o, an never aent the scrape of a pen tae his irither since." | But.

What for no?” So, to please the old woman, he promised to ask for Donald, and he conscientiously kept his word. At va rious ports he made inquiry among British ships although it seemed very much like looking for a needle in a bale of hay. But it is the unexpected that happens. As Doctor Macleod’s % steamer went up the Hooghly river an outward-bound vessel passed close >>v A sailor was leaning over her bul warks. and moved by a sudden itn pulse, the doctor shouted out: “Are you Donald Mactavish?" To his intense surprise the man an swered, '•Yes.'' Doctor Macleod bad only time tt shout, “You’re to write to your moth erl as the vessels drew apart. Th« resun of this amazing meeting was that the old lady received a peniteni letter from her long-neglectful son. A MODERN PORTIA To Miss Lucille Pugh, the criminal lawyer of Xew York, belongs the dis tinction of being the first of her sex to defend a man accused of murder ThU honor Miss Pugh accepts witn the same unassuming frankness that characterized her conduct in the de fense of Leroy Poindexter, the negro, whom she saved from the electric chair. Thanks to the skill with which Miss Pugh handled the case the first jury disagreed, and at the second trial she obtained a verdict of manslaughter in the second degree. When trying her now famous case. Miss Pugh made a remarkable picture Standing but an inch over five feet, her auburn hair parted at the side and drawn tightly around her shapely head, her brown eyes glancing from the tense face of the accused negro to the jury of twelve white men. her right hand outstretched in an appeal ing manner toward them, her left In- j ; uicaung me prisoner, sne subtly sought to rorce into the nnnas ot ner near ers the innocence of the man she was defending. One of the best-known I court officials, who has attended for the last twenty years all the notable criminal trials in New York, stated that :n his opinion, her defense was the 1 most capable he had e%er heard. »— ■■ ■ ■■■ ... - I HEAD OF ITALY’S NAVY Prince Louis of Savoy, duke of the Abruzzi. admiral of the fleet of Italy, is know n to Americans largely through the American associations of his in teresting career. He has made several j visits to this country, one of them j resulting in a iove affair which, after worldwide publicity, left the duke still a bachelor. He is distinguished ! bs an explorer and mountain climber, i and at the time of the earthquake 1 which destroyed Messina, as well as last January, when Avezzano and its ‘ vicinity were roughly shaken, he was a leader in relief work i'rom his earliest youth the duke has made his life one of activity and | of service. He entered the navy and came to the T'nited States on board at. Italian worship when he was eight een years old. He became so inter ested on his first trip here that he re turned some five or six years later, 1 and then he came again about ten 1 years ago. On this latter tour of the country it was persistently rumored that he and Miss Katherine Elkins, I daughter of the West Virginia senator, were engaged to be married. The duke of Abruzzi won more renown as an explorer and climber of mountain peaks than in any other of the pursuits to which he had given attention. He ascended Mount Elias. Alaska, made his way to a height of -4.000 feet, the greatest on record, in the Himalayas, and he penetrated far into the recesses of the I'gantia district of Africa. Italy s sea chief is only forty-two years old. He is more like an Ameri can business man in appearance than a European naval officer OUR NEW SUBMARINE CHIEF ^ pnat Germany's remarkable develop- j ment of submarine warfare has aroused the interest and action of ’ every civilized nation, and the United ! States is not behind others in recog- i nizing its importance. In order to de- ! velop the undersea arm of the Amer- : ican navy and to eliminate its pres- j ent faults. Secretary Daniels has des- i ignated Capt. A. W. Grant, one of the j highest ranking officers of his grade, j to command the Atlantic submarine ; flotilla and exercise general supervi sion over that branch of the service. He already has got under way an organized effort to put every unit of the submarine flotilla in first-class condition to perform all of the func tions for which it is designed, and much of his time is spent in Wash ington and at the various shore sta tions. His powers in the work of con struction and development are very large, and he receives every possible assistance from the navy department. As assistant in this important task. Captain Grant has Commander Yates Stirling, who is considered one- of the leading experts on underwater craft and who last winter gave congress and the public some interesting information about the weaknesses of the vessels under his charge. I" — —' ^ ■■ ■»■■■■■■ i mi CONGRESSMAN SEES WASHINGTON The day after congress adjourned Ed Keating of Colorado entered on what—considering that he is a con gressman—was an add form of vaca tion. Accompanied by his wife. Keat ing became a Washington tourist. "Well. 1 suppose the first thing w e ought to see suggested the con gressman to his wife, "is the capitol." "The wh-a-a-t!" "The capitoi." repeated Keating. "I've been in it. of course, several hun dred times, but have always had some thing on my mind. Many's the time when I've seen guides pointing out the historic paintings to tourists that I had curiosity to know what they were about, but I always figured that I could just as well wait until I wasn’t quite so busy." So they hired a guide and were show-n about the capitol. Then they climbed aboard a big rubber-neck wagon and listened to the megaphone man as he pointed out the homes of the Nation s great men. After that they went up,in the Washington monu ment. Keating had seen it a thousand times or saw it from the window of his hotel room, but never before had he been up close to it. Oh. they took in everything—the tomb of George Washington at Mount Vernon, the Lee mansion at Arlington, the bureau of engraving—even the pension bureau, because Keating is on the pension committee. Every little while they paused to buy souvenir postcards to send home to friends. Bad Memory. Flatbush—“You’ve got a piece of thread about vour thumb.” Bensonhurst—“Yes, wife put it there to remind me to mail her let ter." “Did you mail it?” "Sure thing.” “Why don't you remove the thread, then?” “Oh, I'm beeping that on to remind me to tell her that I forgot to put a stamp on it.” Russia. Biggest of Nations. Russia lacks only ten longitudinal degrees of stretching half way round the earth, and possesses one-sixth of the landed area of the planef. Russia's Asiatic possessions are 40 times as great as those of Japan, even since the Russo-Japanese war. The variety of Russia's resources make the empire second only to the United States as the greatest food producing country in the world. It leads all nations in mineral wealth and timber supply.

F. O. B. OMAHA Ask for Delivered Prices Write for Catalog Indian Forced to Succumb. The white man and the Indian never could mix, and the Indian has had to succumb. All of us admire the Indian and would like to see him survive for all time; but it appears impossible that with advancing civilization he can continue. The Indian simply will not submit to the changed conditions; he still dreams of the 'happy hunting ground.’ and the forest and stream, and nothing the government can do for him can reconcile him. The automo bile and other things have helped him along in his reckless career, but tu berculosis has been the most destroy ing element in the life of the Ameri can aborigine. His Opinion. “It's a dreadful thing to sell liquor on Sunday," said the reformer. “Yes. it is.” replied Mr. Jagsby. “People who lack the foresight to lay in a supply on Saturday night that will last them until Monday don’t deserve any sympathy, and. furthermore. 1 think bartenders are just as much en titled to spend Sunday with their fam ilies and take a little outing in one of the city parks as anybody else.” Sawed-Off Sermon. Sometimes a girl makes a fool of herself over a man. and sometimes she marries the man and makes a fool of him.—Indianapolis News. This Is not a free country, but. with three or four exceptions, it is as free | as any. Training Baby. Yells from the nursery brought the mother, who found the baby gleefully pulling small Billy's curls. “Never mind, darling,” she comfort ed. "Baby doesn't know how it hurts." Half an hour later wild shrieks from the baby made her run again to the nursery. "Why, Billy!" she cried. “What is the matter with the baby?" “Nothing, muzzer," said Billy, calm ly, “only now he knows!”—Harper's. Hard on the Prosecutor. A lawyer who was engaged by the city to prosecute one James Magee for keeping a gambling bouse, warming up to his subject, shouted: “James Magee has kept a gambltng house, does keep a gambling house! I have proved it again and again. I have said once and for all it is a gam bling house, and I maintain it.” “That's right, your honor,” said the culprit. "I'd have failed long ago but for the patronage of the honorable gentleman.” No Rest for the Weary. ‘‘It was bad enough when every oth er man you met knew all about the causes leading up to the war in Eu rope." “Yes." “But now every smart Aleck you meet thinks he knows what Japan has up her sleeve.” Never hitj a man when he has you down.
