A DIPLOMATIC LIBRARIAN.
1
When Mr. Putman was the head of
the public library in -Boston , a ward
leader ot that city called on him to rec
ommend a henchman for a place in the
library. I
There was no reason why the libra-
rian sbould not bave refused at once
and peremptorily i to appoint him, but
he chose to follow another course.
" 'After a few minutes' talk with the
politician. Mr. Putman asked -hrm
whether he had ever! been through all
the departments of the institution. j
"I never have, but ! I'd like to see it.'f
replied the politician. '- ' j
"It will give me miich pleasure to go
with you." said Mr. Putman. , i
Mr. Putman took him behind the
counters andthrough the building from
top to bottom, explaining the character
and the magnitude of the work in de
tail. He further pointed out. without
seeming to do so, the varied duties of
the-employes and the attainments they
must possess to do the work.; When
the tour was ended. 'Mr. Putnam said: I
"I'm pleased to have had a chance !
to show ehe- library to you. and if your
friend will fill-out the I application blank
and send i and if h (passes the necessa
ry examination, I think there will be no
difficulty in placing his name on the
waiting list. j f
The politician, holwever. had seen
enough of library work to convince him
that his constituent cbuKl find no olace
on the. staff, and the blank was never
filled out. But. to the dav he left Bo

'HOW KIPLING SAW A BATTLE.

London, May 18. Rudyard Kipling

pondent Bennett ;Burleigh. and while

verse. The verses have not yet been
printed.' .1 . i
tn the event, lie and Kipling got wind
ot a prospecitve engagemient and; very
early in the morning, drove in a spring
Jess cart to the scene. After many
wordy engagements with friendly pick
ets and scouts they gained the British
Jines jut as the troops -were forming
for a lively attack upon an irregular

j o Kiphng and Burleigh decided that
there were other? points from which- the
battle could bej viewed to (better ad
vantage. They Idrove well off to the
flank of the Brifsh lines until they had
found la tall tppje that neither the
British nor the jBoers seemed to want.
They .got out cjf their cart and clam
oreti to the top? of the kopje. The al
titude is 5,000 ffet, and the air is very
rare, so the 'Killing lungs were going
like busy bellofcvs before the short
climb of a coupjle of hundred feet, was
accomplished. I
1 There were a few small treeis near
the top of the kfpje, and the audience
to the war dranya -stood behind- them.

nearest kopjes, j I t -
Kipling and Bfurleigh felt pretty se
cure on their kope, which they thought
nobody wanted; but they forgot that
a battlefield is a changeable , sort of
thing, and before they remembered
Vhis fact the British cavalry were : at
the foci; of their, hill. The Boer never
lost sight of the cavalry, of 'course, and
row they discovered the two lone spec
tators. In a moment rifle balls! were
plugging away on the side of the
KiplingJBurleig4 kopje and Mr. Kip
ling remarked t hart small trees! were
very poor breastworks. He had heard
wonderful stories d Boer rifle balls
piercing halt a dozen of them in a tow,
and then continuing in Search of more
trees to pierce for half a mile I or so.
Mr. Kipling thought be would move.
Mr. Burleigh thought the suggestion
god one and the two distinguished
men of letter began to hunt cover. It
was not on the kopje, -so they left the
kopje. vnd the Boer rifle bullets went
wfth them for halt a mile or j such a
matter. ,' j .
Eirly in the engagement Mr. Kipling
haxl begun to put workls together in
the form of rhymes, and hum them to
himself "trying their jtingle,' f as h
were. ; He kept this up, but in an in
termittent way, while he and. Burleigh
dodged bullets and zig-zagged jo their
cart. Several times there came the
flat spat of a bullet against a tree
above their head. But they id id no
stop for mementoes of the- occasion,
and when they reached their cart they!
began a rapid trek to the rear.; '

lA meeting of all the growers who
joined the asswiation at the prtlunin
ary meeting will be held today, when
Suggestions offered by the board of di
rectors wiU be acted upon. It will be
ascertaitfecTat today's meeting whether
the. necessary 75 per cent menrbershij
of growers has been secured with which
to form a permanent organization that
may prove an effective agency .in the
hamlling of this year's prune crop.
If the necessary membership J re
ported the permanent organization will
be found and' plans put into effect-for
pooling this year's crop. Otherwise,
there are two conn-es to pursue port
pone. matters until the required jur
centage of membership is obtained rr
empower -the temporary association t
handle.as much 0 this year's crop as it
can -secure 'control of.
"After CompaVing notes, the direct
ors, wiirknow to a fraction the stati
of ; the present meniberhip," says the
Portland Telegram. "Each xine has
been doing missionary work in hi-
particular district in securing signers.
From reports already received, some
of them have obtained the percentage,
while others were not so fortunate.
Every "grower signed with the undvr
standing that unless the. percentage
was obtained, the agreement should not
be binding, and therefore it is optional
whether or not he continued a nun
her. In any event it is expected good
results will be obtained from the work.;
thus tar. of this temporary -organiza-
I t .i . , t Ti i n 1. ,n. .r.i till nrnucrfi
85 can profit by this experience, to form
a permanent organization next year.
A start ha been mryie and that is con
sidered a very important point gained.
"But. according to shrewd judgment
on the, question, there is no reason why
the growers should. not profit by the
work of the direceors on this year's'
crop, even though the membership i?
not up to the 75 per cent mark. There
wiU he enough growers represented
to control the majority of the prune
ron and bv allowing the association
to handle it. much ! better prict might
he secured by avoiding ruinous com
petition. The temporary organiza
tion could then have a chance to give
practical illustration of the working
benefits of such an association, and in
case of success, make the balance ot
the prunegrowers anxious to jh;
Then the entire 1901 crop ; could . 1
pooled without an effort. .
"These are things, however, .which '
tlie directors at. their meeting will care
fullv weigh. The first thing to settle
is the percentage of membership ob
tained. If that is siifticient everything
will be plain sailing. ' .:
"The convention of the growers to
act uon the suggestions made !) the !
dirprior will be an important one. It
is expected there will be a large mini-.
bet of prunegrowers present, represent
ing tiie prune-rowing districts of the
Pacific Northwest." f
SHirr-iyr 'W BERRIES.
Tlie Willamette Valley fruit growers, f
by their actions at least, are strong ad-1
vocntes-of the policy of reciprocity. .. A
few weeks ago strawberries were Wing'
shipped to Salem from Southern Ore-j
gon and California points, for which.
the consumer was paying at the rate -i .
from 8 1-3 to 25 cents per box. the price'
depending upon the . season and the
abundance of the fruit. At the present ;
time Oregon growers are shipping de
licious strawberries to points in South-(
ern Oregon and even as far south a
Redding. California. Some are. al
being shipped to Seattle, the first ship
ment to that point being made yester
day. In Southern Oregon, the hemes ,
are retailing for 81-3 cents per . J
and there is a good demand for- the .!
product. When strawberries; are re- ;
tailing in the local market-for 75 cents j
per crate, one might conclude that the
shipping of this fruit would prove vety .
tremttnerattve bu-siriess.. but inantuch 1
a? all sveh shipments arc made by ex- ,
press, for which the charge is quite ex- j
ccssive. it is seen that the great part, of
the profit is required for transpotta-
tion. ,
