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 Nationale bibliotheque in
Paris. Mr. Putnam belongs to the
celebrated Putnam family, publish
ers of books, the Detroit News states.
He tried to 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
inan than 90 per cent of the lawyers
in the country.
Mr. Putnam takes as much pride
in the collection o f music in the
library o f congress as he 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 o f the world of
which there is not a copy in the
library o f congress.

Penniless, but content, Mrs. Eliz

expect to And work, says a Billings
(M o n t.) dispatch to the St. Paul
Pioneer-Press. The son John is a
section hand 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 wa* then 16.
Mrs. Doyle was bom in 1830 on
the banks of the Illinois river, near
Beardstown.
“ Grant and I>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
to Wyoming
I don’t take much
with this truck o f men army cooks.
No man can cook as well as a wom
an. Ask any soldier.”

Parts.— It will doubtless require
numerous decades to convince French
men that Anglo-Saxons who sleep at
night with open windows, drink l<-e
water many tlmea a day and In
sist on rooms and living apartments
with baths are not a trifle queer. For
countless generations the .French peo
ple have "known” Instinctively that to
drink water undiluted with wine Is
highly dangerous, that open windows
after nightfall let In damp, cold air
which breeds pulmonary trouble, rheu
matism and many o f the Ills that the
human race la heir to; that to iinbtbe
Ice water and teed concoctions upsets
the stomach.
But there are algns today that
France Is changing. One o f the great
est signs o f late has been the revolu
tionary and radical pronouncements
o f such an authority on hygiene as the
celebrated Professor Cartel of the
Parts Academy o f Medicine, who Is
now advising his fellow countrymen
to forgeh the aged traditions. The
professor points to Americans and
Britishers to uphold his “ radical"
contention that one may drink water
In plenty, eat Ice cream, breathe
plenty o f fresh nlr right around the
clock and. In fact, do all the things
In France that Anglo-Saxon foreigners
do In their own countries.

veterans during the recent state
Orand Army of the Republic en

for the two to leave for their homes
she made plain that she did not
wish any money for housing them

paying her and she held out against
accepting money. Finally, the two
old soldiers hit on a plan o f giving
