:rave stories to tall of out own or other
Men's lives saved by "tin hats," "tin
' lids," or "battle bowlers." A brother
officer of mine has worn for something
like two years a steel helmet with a
dent in it as big as a small potato—a
souvenir of a enia111timp bf shell which
knocked slim off his feet one afternoon
in the Ypres Salient. I have soon a
helmet in the rine of which a machine-
gun bullet had out a clean nick. The
wearer of that helmet never knew he
had been struck until he doffed his
"tin hat."

But it may be caked, what benefit
will tide library be to the people at

students of the university, Not so.
One of the conditions on which Mr,
Barnett donated it, wee that the pub-
lic ehould heve the privilege of borrow-
ing from it. He has always acted as
though the motto of hie library was
pro bona publico, and, as •we have said
he stipulated that, iu its now gnartere
it shall be as freely acceesibe. The
fact that Mr. Barnett is to be the our
ator of ithe library is a sullieient
guarantee that this stipulation will be
parried out to its fullest extent,
It is not given to every one to be
able to perform aitch an act of enlight
ened generosity whioh, "hleeeoth him
,that gives, and him that takes." ,
lo making this gift Mr. Barnett
has been actuated by the pure and
simple motives to do good, and not to
win applause or to perpetuate his
memory; but Whether he willsit or not,
his name will be known on the page

As a private library it has few equals

Women are determined to purchase their
Fall wearebles very early this season. And
there is a definite reason for thie. Some peo-
ple imagine because styles are new that priees
are possibly higher than they will be later.
This is a mistaken impression. Many who
delayed last year found to their discomfort
that by delaying the price remained the same
