FREE LIBRARY PROSPERS
Statistics Furnished by Librarian
Show Encouraging Patronage
During Past Seven Months.
The records kept by Miss Jennie
Muscott, the librarian at the Dallas
Free Library, show a very creditable
run of patronage during the past
seven months. Large numbers of new
books and magazines have been
received either by purchases or gener
ous donations from friends of the
library, and a steady increase in the
number of regular readers is shown
by the fact that an average of 19 new
cards has been issued each month
since January 1. The total issuance
of cards In.the entire seven months is
137.
The average number of visitors
each month has been more than 1200,
and the total number of books loaned
since January 1, is S395, an average
of 770 a month. Of these the Action
books were in the majority, the juven
ile literature coming next and non-fiction
standing at the bottom of the list
with an average of only about 35 vol
umes loaned each month. About 140
new books have been received in the
library since the first of the year. ,
The month showing the heaviest
patronage was January in which the
number of books loaned amounted up
to 1134, while the lightest month was
June, with a total of only 602.
All of the figures showing the busi
ness of the library during the past
seven months are considerably higher
than those of 1907, and everyone Inter
ested in the institution is hoping for
and anticipating a corresponding in
crease in its patronage during the
remainder of the year.
The Newport' Colony.
A Newport correspondent writes that
Dallas is now represented at that

WISE TALKS BY V. S. LOUGHARYS'
OFFICE BOY
Have you had any leap-year pro
posals yet? I haven't had any but I
have had a very strong hint, nothing
short of a box of yum-yums. Of
course it was my birthday butl wasn't
looking for it. I heard a good one
about a polite young man who had
just had a proposal from a nice girl.
He couldn't accept but he was saying,
"I will always be a brother to you,"
when she up and said, "Brother,
nothing; If that was what I wanted I
could pull one out from under the sofa
right now." I went to a leap year
party the other night and, say, it was
fierce. One girl actually proposed to
a young friend of mine and was
accepted and they were wedded right
on the spot by jumping over a broom
that was purchased at U.S. Loughary's
store. We have floe brooms for 25o,
but I think our bon-bona (assorted)
and chocolate creams are more In line
for social occasions. They are surely
the ail-right merchandise for birthday
and wedding gifts. Some come in
fancy boxes and some of the glace
fruits are In burnt-wood boxes, mission
style. Get a line on our sweetmeats,
