It has been suggested that the Carneglo library building bu constructed on the Lin- coin High school grounds at Fifteenth nml M streets. Several members of the School board look favorably on the proposition , but from others thenIs some opposition on the ground that the regular patrons of the library would bo annojed by the prcjence of the slUdtnts were It located so near the High school building. Aside from this ob- Jpctlon the location seems to bo an Ideal one. It Is nearer the center of population than nny of the sites BO far suggested and would bo of easy access from all parts ot the cltv. However , those who have Inter- CBted themselves In securing a suitable lo cation for the building feel confident that they can jet find some public-minded man | i Bumclently Imbued with the spirit of phi lanthropy to donate cither thu neccs-sary cash or ground that meets all the require.

In the course ot his remarks he said : "The most dldlcult mailer has been lo maintain our pork Irado wllh the continent of Europe. There , have been constant re strictions , burdensome fees and slnnilcroim charges to conlend with.

William E OurIK correspondent of the Chicago Record , who has Just returned from a tour of South America , writes as follows : I am receiving many Inquiries from j flung men who waul to go to South America lo engage In Imslneja , nnd they ask where they will nnd the largest chances of success. Tl'rro U no use In any man going to n stranno ccttntrj to belter his condition rnlcsa bo can speak tic language of that country , whls ! , in the casj o * all the other Aineik-aii lepubllcs , Is Spnnlsli. A joung man who should go to Venezuela or Enundor or the Argentine tic-public In search of cm- plnjment without being able to speak the Spanish language wculd be as hclplcra ns a Spaniard who" came to this country vUlhout bcltiR able to apeak the English language , and oven If ho bad capital and desired to in.il.n Investments on his own account ho would bo entirely at Ihc mercy of hie In- terpietcM The Ignorance of our merchanls and com mercial iravclcra on ihls point Is ono of the grcalcst obstacles to nn Increase of trade. In order successfully to compete with nalcs- mon from Europe It Is necessary for our drttinmcra to me-ot the customers they are seeking In social n.s well as business circles ; to entertain and bo entertained , nnd to make themselves as agreeable as possible. What sane manufacturer wholesale merchant would send out a drummer In Ihln country who could not speak English ? Who would I aeml a drummer to Franco that could not I ppcak French nnd expect him to rell goods there' What European would send to this country an agent that coujd not tnlk our language' ' Such n thing would bp considered a waste of time nnd effort ; jet It la beldom that jou find an American commercial trav eler In South America who can speak Span ish. Last summer 1 met a do cn or moio leprcsentliiB vailous manufacturing nnd commercial tntcrofls , and all but one were entirely dependent upon Intcrprclcrs lei i translate their conversation. If they had not been so keon-wllted they would not have accomplished tin > thing , but they could have sold a hundred times as many goods If they could have lalkcd lo Iheir cuslomers dl- rcclly. Now lhat wo have added so much Spanish territory and so many Spanish-speaking people plo to our national domain , wo ought to teach our children lo converse wllh Ihcm In their language , as well as their children to converse with us In our language. English may be at some tlmo the universal lan guage , but not until every man who Is now speaking I * Is dead nnd gone Spanish is the easiest of all languages lo learn , particularly to Ihcse who have a knowledge of Lnlln , and bj" stcadv applica tion a joung man ought to be able to hold an ordinary convers-allon In six months. Ociman commercial travelers arc able to toll more goods In South America than those of aiy other country beause Uiev 11-ovo a larsor stock of patience and tinder- Istfid the character of the pronle with whom they deal. When an English or nn Ameri can drurcmer strikes a town he gees around among the retail dealers , greets them cor dially , pays i few compliments , Inquires pftcr their families and mutual friends and d'scnsses other subjects of similar mutual Interest for a few moments. Then he asks if they want any goods In his line , and unless they happen to bo cut of some staple for which there Is ap actlvo demand they reply In the'negallve. HrtJoffers lo show- bis samples and Invites them to call upon him at the hotel or th 'club where ho makes his headquarters. Then he goes on to the next shop , where the scene is re peated , and ho may take several limited orders. When a German drummer comes lo town ho wanders Into a retail establishment In an indifferent manner , pokes over the goods , inquires where they got this nnd what they paid for that , and If there ale no customers lo bo Bcrvcd ho offers Ihe merchant a cigar and sits down for a sociable chnl , which usually ends wllh nn invitation lo lunch or cine nt the club , where he arranges an at- I tractive spread and provides a copious sup- I ply of good wines , which Is returned by an ' Invitation to dlno nt Iho morchanl's house 1 Not a word Is said about business at either I place H Is merely a friendly exchange of i hohpltallty , which a perfect knowledge ot j , the Spanish language enables the German ' ] drummer to make the most of. Not cnly one merchant , but all the Iradesmen whose business Is profitable are cultivated In this way , and they cneet the dlplomallc drum mer In Ihe piesence of each other at the club rooms and the residences of each olber v , llhout the slightest reslralnl. Sooner or laler Ibe curloslly cf the merchant - chant Impels him to ask the drummer's business , and la told lhat be is selling n certain line of goods which are probably of no particular Interesl lo him. This Ellm- ulalcs curloslly Inslcad of sallsfylng It , and by his own volition , without any urging or even an Invitation from the drummer , within a few dajs he Is examining the sam ples and giving large orders for goods Meanwhile the drummer maintains an out ward Indifference , bul puls Ihe cnerchant under obligations lo him by toclnl atten tions and appropriate presents to the mem bers of his family. They are friends and cronies rather than salesmen nnd custo mers , nnd when Iho drummer leaves lo\vn every merchant of Impoitanco will ac company him to Iho steamer and toast his health and happiness and his early return with a bottle of champagne. In several long Journeys In Soulh America I have always noticed that when a Herman j commercial traveler comes aboard a departIng - Ing steamer ho Is Invariably accompanlol by a group of friends , but English and I American drummers never have any ono to too them off excepl their fellow-counlry- men.

Writing of communistic experiments In ' Ainslee'a for January Arthur Henry draws this dramatic picture of the decline of the Harmonists "Tho Harmonists believed thait ono of the dementi ) of their succebs watt their celibacy , while1 , ns a mailer of fact , they were eminently prosperous before they determined , under deep icllglous Inllu- once , to abandon marilage.

They had their own carpenters , blacksmiths , wagonmakcrs , coopers , shoemakers , hatters , tailors , ma sons , wheelwrights and saddlers. A'slmllar picture might be presented of each of the other communities. It was the aim of all of the communities to produce and manu facture everything they consumed. Like tile Harmonists they endeavored to produce a surplus for sale. Thus the Sinker garden seeds for three-quarters of a centuiy were accepted as the best In the United States The Oneldn Pcifectlonlsts were fitnous fjr their silk twist , and the Amanas for their woolen stuffs. One Shaker communltj manufactured washing machines and man gles on a large scale , and another staves for molasses hogsheads. The chief aim of each community wns to make cniy a g = od article and secure trade by rigid honesty The communists were careful nnd thaiough fanners. Their farm build ngs were mod els for convenience .mil comfort of ani mals. Their tillage was clean and deep and their orchards contained the best var iety of fruits. They possessed In their homes greater comfoits tlnn their neighbors the of life * * bors on same plane "At the present time , thlity-throc ) cars later than that at which Aaron Williams wrote , there are but iicvsn members cf the Society of Harmonists Pour j el women and one man , all over Kcventj , and John Duns and wife , who are about fortj , mo all that remain of this onne pioipcrcus hive of people Most of the factoilcs have dis appeared The gloat barns that once shel- teicd hundieds of iMltlo are empty The flocks and herds .no gone The br ad fields are unloaded.
