An elderly widower laid his heart
at the feet of a modern girl at a night
elub the other night. The poor fel-
low was trembling with passion, for
the girl was as beautiful as Greta
Garbo.
"Oh," he sighed, "oh, I'd go thru
anything for you, darling."
The girl gave him a keen look.
"How much," she said, "have you
got to go through?"

Mrs. Fowler was 'worried. Her husband
had gone to town for the day but he was
to be back in plenty of time to feed the
stock. And now it was getting dark.
Then the telephone rang: "Sorry,Mary",
came her husband's voice, "I can't get
hotne,till late. Better telephone George
Bothwell and ask him to help us out."
So the stock was fed and Mrs. Fowler's
worry was ended. No wonder she sad:

too many of the earlier settlers could
not read at all, or very little. Now,
there are practically none in our
community who cannot read, yet, I
fear me, many are not makings use of
their God-given seeportunities. Whose
fault is it? Partly theirs d- partly
ours for not letting them "in on" the
joys of reading. As an object is read-
ily available, sOin inverse Proportion
dens it lose its glitter and desirability
in the eyes of some: If only a very
occasional book of any description
catne their way they would read it
eagerly and watch for others. Now,
with 2000 odd at their finger tips, all
too many are neglecting to seize this
opportunity knocking at their doors.
It is. interesting to trace the his-
tory of Libraries very briefly. We
,recall thc first recorded library, that
I of Rarneses I of Egypt, in 1400 B.C.
with over 36,500 volumes. Quiteenn-
like our books, these Egyptian ones
evel e written on rolls of papyrus in
(Muer hieroglyphics. Nineveh and'
'Babylon had libraries of clay tablets.
Most famous of all ancient libraries
was that at Alexandria with over
700,000 papyrus rolls.. •
Daring the middle ages, only the
monks had much learning, so the
monasteries owned most of the !lib-
raries—books tediously -written by
hand; often lavishly decorated With
paintings and etchings. Alfred The
•Great and CharlImagne both collect-
ed libraries of their own, and helped
the monasteries do, likewise. The
great masses never saw a library and
couldn't read, if they had.
LibeerieS really have come into
their own in modern times, greatly -
made possible by the inVention of
printing,. The National Libra,ry 411
Paris boasts 2,600,000 books. The
Britieh Museum, 1,900;000; while
scattered throughout the length and
breadth of our own lend, we find.
brave little libraries in practically ev-
ely town and haniletedmade possible,
many of them, through the bounty
of that Scottish American millionaire,
Andrew Carnegie, grants from pro-
vincial, county and municipal !govern-
ments and free-will offerings of pleb -
lie -spirited eitizens. '
The old idea of a library was to
make it a reservoir (a dusty useless
hoarded collection), the modern idea
is to melee it a fountain. Let tis
draw near and get the refreshing
,pry of this Modern fountain, free-,
ly giving of itself, and like the magic
pitcher of old, ever pouring f
never going dry, What does
fountain pour forth? Sprays of
cation, entertainment, informa
scientific knovidedge, historical f
religion, invention, quiet medita
and study. -Soma libraries even
