On his return the Minister paused by the kirk yett, and thus soliloquised: 'I never cared muckle for that camsterie goat o' Ringan's, but he wis gey useful the nicht there's no denyin', whilst as for auld cuddy, dod! but he was in fell voice, an' cam in punctual as the precentor. The Reverend Alexander Macgregor thrust out an arm on high, turned about on heel and toe, as though to secret piping.
We cannot find room for all the pleasant missives that come to us from our extensive list of clients, but we may give a few as samples of the many. Mr. Daniel J. Gale, of Sheboygan, Wis., has recently secured through our Agency Letters Patent for a "Perpetual and Lunar Calendar Clock."
"You are a horrid old pig, Aldiff MacCatfy," she said, with slow emphasis, "an' I hates you hard, an' we all hates you here, 'ceps Meg; and Pip says you're ze jammiest girl out, an' I wis' a drate big ziant would come and huff and puff and blow you into ze middlest part of ze sea." Aldith laughed, a little aggravating grown-up laugh, that put the finishing touch to Baby's anger.
Miss Bertha Marx, Sheboypan, Wis. The matter of discipline has not been of sufficient importance in our library to be classed as a problem. This may be due to two facts: First, the atmosphere discourages rowdyism, loud talking and visiting; secondly, an unwritten rule is that there must be quiet in the library but not necessarily absolute silence.
When a librarian is much "dressed up" and can take time to play that she is an agreeable hostess, all children, whether little aristocrats or arabs, enter into the civilized spirit of the occasion and become more mannerly. Miss Lucy Lee Pleasants, Menasha, Wis. To achieve the best results, the librarian should never make an enemy and should lose no opportunity of making a friend.
The great manufacturers of the country, and the heavy contributing agents, on learning our intentions, sent, without a hint from us, many of their articles, as, for instance, New Bedford, Mass., sent mattresses and bedding; Sheboygan, Wis., sent furniture and enameled ironware; Titusville, Pa., with a population of ten thousand, sent ten thousand dollars' worth of its well-made bedsteads, springs, extension-tables, chairs, stands and rockers; and the well-known New York newspaper, The Mail and Express, sent a large lot of mattresses, feather pillows, bedclothing, sheets, and pillow-slips by the thousand and cooking utensils by the ten thousands.
And she proceeded to crack, not the stones, but her own little, eager, blundering fingers, instead. O stony, stony-hearted stones and pebbly-hearted pebbles! Tot's cup of bitterness seemed to flow over. She stood up, sobbing. A sudden sense of desolation oppressed her. "I wis' I was at home wiv dwandma. I wis, oh, I wis' I hadn't tum!" she sobbed. Her only thought, now, was to get home.
He ees begging me efery day to come again back that leetle one," cried Joe indignantly. "I come here not wis plessir not so. He is ver' triste, thees boy ver' dull. I am to take sorry for heem sin vergüenza! Also, perhaps a leetle I am coming for that he ordaire always from the Posada the bes' dinners, lak now." "Such a care-free life!" sighed Francis-Frank. "Decidedly I must reform my ways.
This, however, in no way affects the discipline of the library, excepting as it makes discipline there more essential. Miss Deborah B. Martin, Green Bay, Wis. Occasionally we have had difficulty from a crowd of boys entering the room in a body with a great deal of noise, annoying the librarian and readers by making a disturbance at the tables and altogether proving themselves a nuisance.
"No' that I know of, but when I wis pew opener at St. George's I let in some verra braw folk. One Sunday there wis a lord, no less. A shaughly wee buddy he wis tae. Ma Andra wud hae been gled to see him sae oorit." The eyes of the Jardines were turned inquiringly on their handmaid. It seemed a strange reason for joy on the part of the late Andrew M'Cosh.
