One week from tomorrow, Monday,
Pebruary te, the members of Lamure
lodge, No. 11, Knights of Pythias, will
celebrate the anniversary of the found
ing of .the order under oireumstances
'whioh are auspicious. The leading
event of the. interesting program which
hat been prepared for the day will be
the formal dedication of the new castle
of the local lodge; a substantial, com
mcodious building on East Ptont street,
-which is Laurel lodge's own home. Feb
ruary 19, 1864, in the city of Wash
ington, the order of Knights of Pythias
was establshed. The observance of the
annive sagry in Missoula this year will
be the most notable in the history of
the local lodge.
There were 18 members in the origi
nal lodge which was founded in 1884.
Justus Henry Rathbone, a native of
New York, was the originator of the
order. HiB father was a distinguished
Jurist and his mother was a descendant
of that eminent New England divine,
Jonathan Edwards. One of the personal
friends of Rathbone has characterised
him as a man of emotional tempera
ment, passionately fond of music, of a
roving disposition and possessed of
much dramatic ability. He had been
upon the stage and was teaching school
when the civil war broke out. He at
once entered the service of the govern
mient, in the hospital department. This
took him to Washington and there,
amidst the stirring scenes of the war
days, he conceived the idea of a fra

ship and in social unity. Witnessing a
performance of the drama, "Damon ana
Pythias," he seised upon its funda
mental theme as the basis of-his or
ganisation.
Laurel lodge, No. 11. of Missoula, was
organised May 9, 1885, by the then
grand chancellor, Lee Mantle of Butte.
Writing to the local lodge regarding the
approaching dedication Mr. Mantle
says: "It would Indeed be a great pleas

Libraries and Their Work
IV.--Other American Libraries.
By Frederic J. Haskin
Wor years the building of the Doston
public library was celebrated as the
most beautiful in America and it may
be considered as one of the first
monuments to the modern library
movement in this country. It was
opened to the public In 1895 and com
blnes most of the features of modern
library requirements. Architecturally
the building Is modelled largely after
the Bibllotheque Sainte Genevieve of
Parts. Its decorations are chiefly the
work of well known American artist..
The Quest of .the Holy Grall by Abbey
and the Triumph of Religion by Bar
geant, this last including the well
known frelse of the prophets, have
been widely copied. Over the main
stairway are mural decorations by
FPuvis de Chavannes representing ailse
gorical subjects. Among It special
architectural features are the grand
staircase, the Interior court with stone
benches and a fountain, and the read
ing room known as Bates ball whloh
has been ~pronounced the moat beau
tiful public room in America. Wlfle*
the building as first planned is not
well adapted for library purposes, the
Boston public library takes high rank
among those of the country, It cost
about 13,500,000 and has over 1,000,000
books. Its circulations last year
amounted to 9,000,000 volumes and Its
annual eapenditure will sooan reach
$00,000.
The new public library of lid
covers 100,000 square feet of space,
being next in area to the Library of
Cotrens which covers 610,000 a iare
feet,the '6ow York publig Itbrary
oodupying only a little more than 80,000

themselves a hall and a home, and I
wish you every success and an en
Joyable time upon the occasion of your
dedloation."
The lodge building was constructed
during 1*11 and has been occupied for
a few months by the lodge, though its
formal dedication has not taken place.
The date of the order's anniversary was
decided upon as the appropriate time
10' this event. George Brigge, who was
chiefly Instrumental in achieving the
ambition of the lodge to have a home
of its own will not be present; le is
out .of town for the winter. However,
before he went away, the lodge took
occasion to express its appreciation of
his services and presented him with a
loving cup in memory of his good work.

celebration and dedication have been
in the hands of efficient committees

'he Chicago public library in Dear
born park near the lake front is easy
of access because of the excellent
means of transportation. The building
is modern and imposing in appearance.
This library was founded shortly after
the great tire by collections contrib
uted chiefly by Elnglishmen. The cir
culation last year amounted to 1,011,845
volumes. The Chicago public library
makes a special effort to advance its
wort In tecohnology and has also a
large number of foreign readers.
The Cleveland public library, which
was founded in 1884 merely as a help
to the teschere in the public schools,
has lately ,been moved Into an ex
ceptionally well appointed building on
the lake front. AThhough in point of
site the Cleveland library is below
many others, its book circulation last
year reached a million and three quar
teus and it has developed to a high
standard its children's ldepartment as
well as other new features of library
work.
The Philadelphia free library has, as
yet, no sultable building. It circulated
nearly ',000,000 books lapt year from
an over-crowded, l44-arranged building
near the center of the city. Philadel
phla,has a number of beautifuil modern
bramnh library buildings , several of
hich. have bone built 'by Mr. Car
negie, but it Is a matter of regret to
all thoese Interested In library de
velopm'ent that the library generally
recognised ag the parent of American
libraries should' still remain in such
poor accommodations,
These are only a few of the more
important city libraries of the coun.
try which are supported 'by the public
funds of their enunicipalitles. In ad

the Lenox library, incorporated in
1870; and the Tilden Trust,. incor
porated in 1887. Its legal name Is the
New York Public library, Astor, Lenox
and Tilden foundations. There is a
strong feeling In Chicago towards a
similar consolidation of the John
Crerar library, the Newberry library
and the public library.
Among the Interesting subscrtptlog
libraries of the country is the
Athenaeum in Boston which was
founded In 1807. Its membership is
still almost entirely confined to the
families and friends of its original
subscribers. This Institution contains
the bulk of- the orginal library of
George Washington, several of the
famous Stuart portraits and many
other treasures.
The New York Mercantile library
was. founded In 1810. It has nearly
600,000 books and is said to be tif
largest subscription library in the
country. The Philadelphia Mercantile
library, founded in 1807, is still an
active subscription library and like
the Athenaeum is ,rgely Wupported
by the deecendants of its founders.
The Ridgeway library of Phlladelphia
was founded by Dr. James Rush with
a bequet of $1,000,000. This library
has a fine fireproof building' contain
ing many valuable books and historic
papers, but the .regulations governing
it are so retrictlive as to 4imit Its
usefulness.
In Charleston there is a library
founded in 1756 by South Carolina
citizens who organised a library so
ciety. Before tbe revolutionarZ war,
the Charleston., library had scumu
lated over 5,000 volumes and l1ad also
gathered the sum of $10,000 with a
view tg establishing an educational
institution in connection with the
library. In 1778, a fire destroyed the
bulk of the library, only 15 books out
of more theap, 600 balig saved. ' It
was not until l:p .tglining a gof the
nineteenth odnturzy that any steps were
taken towards reytortin the library,
but by 1811 7,000 volumes were col
lected and at the time of the odvil war
the library numbered oxer 80,000. The
eminesnt W~henh naturalist Andre
Miohaux was for many years greatly
interested in thlis lbrary and made it
many gifts of books and documents.

Il flact iio-tenti i often Insu fficient
to tieet tie public demand and

library lnlpports it Illberally. In New
York, wihre lthe avelrag value of a
4arnegie l0tinc'l library building Is
$i0,i00 the average cost of mainte
iaule Io $12,000 or 15 per cent. In St.
Louisl tlhe two-fifths of a mill tax
levied for thie aItpport of thie Dpbllo
library brings in $200,000 annually,
whierea the al nUint given by Mr. Car
negl lfir the library bulilding was
only $1,000,000.
While there are undoubtedly a few
towni which lhave luciipted Carnegie
lIbraries when they iould not afford
the 10 per cent condition there is no
doubt that the Carnegie lIbraries have
already proved a boon to hundreds
of towns, Whatever critics may say
regarding Mr. ('arnegle's gifts being
made with a desire for advertisement,
it must be saidu, n fairness, that not
one of theni has been acoompanled
b.y any request that the name of the
donor should be In any way con

appear upon the building.
In 1850, only tour libraries in the
United Sitates had over 60,000 books.
These were the Library of Congress,
the 3Boston Athsnaeum and the Har

1008 ri1O gpt.ised Git,'arles were re
ported with buildings valued at
$o0,000,000 and an estimate of 40,000,000
tbooks, tSnce then the number of
libraries has increased to 9,000 and
the library property of the nation is
valued at fully $100,000,000. There are
182 libraries reporting an annual cir
culation in excess of 100,000 boon's. In
addition to these must be reckoned
the enormous number of branch
libraries, sctool librarles and the many
smill cooilstions of books.

On the Spur of the Moment
By Roy K. Moulton.
The Good Old Winter Time.
I love tile good old winter time.
I love to shovel snow
And fues around the furnace fire
And try and make her go.
The biting winds they just sult me,
They cannot blow too cold,
When I confront my coal bin, I
Am hopeoul quite, and bold.
I like a good, old mnappy night
Whenl water pipes all crack,
I love to call the plumlber In
The mIorning to my shack,
I do not fear the plumber's bills,
hut pay 'emr with good grace,
I meet hnm at my front door with
A smile upon may face.
I dearly love to slip and slide
And fall upon my car
When I walk down town every morn
'lhat's crisp and bright and clear.
I love to hear upon the snow
Thle heavy wagons squeak,
I love to wrap my head up eo
I will not freese my beak.
I love tile good old winter time
Of it I never tire,
But still, 1 think that I can hear
You ofttly w~hisper: "LLARt."

After you get him it' makes no dit

After you get him get him a job
