buy tho small section of a plug already
cut and enclosed in a paper bag The
dealer is supposed to keep tho butt
within reach and he must cut the
piece for tho customer from one of the
long plugs This works a hardship on
the small dealer who was accustomed to
buying his tobacco in broken packages

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Why is it that with the apparently limitless
demand for something to read the good old
books aro neglected for tho all too frequently
inferior works of the living nuthors Charlotte
Bronte was ono of the most brilliant novelists
of her day jet hor books now stand unread on
tho library shelves whilo tho vapid produc
tions of the present are eagerly sought after
and devoured It is notbecauso the older auth
or wrote of a day that is done and for that rea
son of no further interest to us Herbooks aro
of men and may endure for all timo Human
nature is tho same now as it was when the pyra
mids were built If you doubt this read the
Book of Job What recent novol is more mod
ern than tho story told there Aside from this
the plots of some of the most successful among
tho Jate books are laid in the distant past In
stance Bon Hur a work of ordinary merit even
mediocre though dealing with a subject of uni
versal interest tho single fact to which its
huge popularity can bo attributed
Quo Vadis too a story that granted full
credit for its frightfully vivid portrayal of a
life of which wo know little verges on the melo
dramatic gained its large hearing because it
like the American book deals with the early
dajs of Christianity Interesting it unques
tionably is great it is not Janice Meredith
When Knighthood was in Flower Mary John
stones books in short many of tho popular
books of tho last few j ears have belonged to the
classdesignated historical
If tho reading public of today wants historical
novels let it read those that havo stood tho
test of the jears Barnaby Rudge Tale of
Two Cities Ivanhoe Rob Roy Les Miserable
to take a few from a long list If the now books
show fitness to live if they survive there is
timo to read them A historical novol at best
is unsatisfactory even harmful if it bo not
written by a careful writer and student for
from a book of this character tho reader is
bound to gain impressions and fact and fiction
necessarily so interwoven that one cannot know
what to accept as the ono or to reject as the
other It were better if we went to what were
given us as history for facts and read fiction
for other purposes than to obtain knowledge of
the past
Of Charlotte Brontos four books Jano Eyre is
the greatest the one on which the authors
fame chiefly depends a work so far superior
to most of the novels of this day that one can
not but believe that if its merits were called to
the attention of tho reading public it would vie
in popularity with such a book as Lady Roses
Daughter the best selling book of tho jear a
book that is now selling more than a jear after
its publication at tho Tate of a thousand copies
a day Lady Rosos Daughter just misses being
agreatnoel The first two thirds of the story
are wonderfullypowerful One believes as ho
turns the pages that ho has found tho best fic
tion of recent times The last third Is common
place and disappointing Read it because it is
worth reading but do not fail to read also
Jane Eyre and then ay whether or not tho
older book is not tho worthier of the two
Brontes 3 other tales are of varjing degrees
of merit Tho Professor the authors first
book has fewer virtues than either of tho oth
ers Yilette is pretty and artistic and Shirley
is said to be the sweetest love story over writ
ten Let the new be read if needs be but do
not entirely neglect the old at least not the
works of this woman whose books have become
classics with which every well read person
should bo familiar
Hill May Change Plan
Philadelphia Nov 21 President
James J Hill of the Northern Securities
company was in the city today and spent
the greater part of the day in consulta
tion with his attorney John J Johnson
going over the details of the corpora
tions appeal from the decision of the
federal circuit court of appeals which is
docketed to be heard before the United
States supreme court In connection
with Mr Hills visit the Philadelphia
Record tomorrow will print the follow
ing
JFrom an authority close to Mr Hill
it was learned that it had been decided
to surrender every right granted under
tho New Jersey corj ration law to the
Northern Securities company excepting
that of the purchasing such securities
as the management may see fit to obtain
from an investment viewpoint
The right to vote the stock in the
Great Northern Northern Pacific and
Chicago Burlington Quincy railroads
is to be renounced as is also the right
of the securities concern to have any
voice in the management of these rail
roads
The securities company is to declare
before the federal supreme court that
each of these big railroads is to be con i
tinued under separate managements and
that there is to beno community of in
terests agreement between them in
fact they are to be maintained as separ
ate companies and each to have individ
ual management and officers as before
the merger under the securities com
pany charter which was obtained in
New Jersey in 1901
The meaning of this according to
the attorneys for the securities company
is that the judgment of the United
States circuit court of appeals of April
30 declaring the merger void is honored
by the company and that it merely de
sires to have the supreme court pro
nounce it a lawful corporation in which
all the alleged connections with the
United States trust laws have been re
moved
