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.
Cary’s Hot Springs
People travel for thousands of miles to go to Carlsbad
arid Baden-Baden and French Lick Springs and Hot Springs,
Ark., yet right here in Oregon, less than a hundred miles
from Portland, are waters of equal value to people suffering
from rheumatism, dyspepsia and various other organic
troubles. CARY’S HOT SPRINGS are located in the heart
of the Cascade Mountains— unrivalled for beauty—-w ith all
the magnificent grandeur of nature unspoiled by the hand
of man. The best fishing in Oregon.

(M o n t.) dispatch to the St. Paul
Pioneer-Press. The son John is a

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.
