KING IN REALM OF BOOKS H e rb ert Putnam, Superintendent of L ib ra r y of Congreea, H i i Charge of Wo nderful Collection. the W e are T e n tin g T o n ig h t at Herbert Putnam is the superin tendent of the library of congress, an institution which contains more books than any other in the world except the British museum at Lon don and N’ ationale bibliotheque in Paris. Mr. Putnam belongs to the celebrated Putnam family, publish ers o f books, the Detroit News states. He tried L» be a lawyer and knows the law, but his fondness for books caused him to give up the legal pro fession and he now presides over one of the greatest institutions in the United States and is a better-known man than 90 per cent of the Lawyers tu the country. Mr. Putnam takes as much pride in the collection of music in the i library o f congress as Ue does in anything else connected with it. When he became librarian in 1899, 250,000 pieces of music were cata logued. The collection has since grown to 800,000 pieces and there is scarcely anything that was ever written or published in the way of music in any part of the world of which there is not a copy in the library of congress.

The son John is a section 1 ‘id and a good one, Mrs. Doyle declared. She herself has had some little experience at toil, one of her first jobs being that of cook with the American forces in the Mexican war. She was then 16. Mrs. Doyle was born in 1830 on the hanks of the Illinois river, near Reardstown. “ Grunt and l.ee and McClellan were lieutenants when I joined the army,” she said. “ A fter the war i was transferred to New Orleans on recruiting service. Then I went with the soldiers to California. Next I went to Nebraska, and afterward Kidd — What are your hopes for to Wyoming. I don’t take much the future? with this truck o f men army cooks.
