LIBRARIES
_The Power-House_
Every day I go past the Library on Ludlow Street
I look in the open windows and see the great dynamos.
They have power enough to jazz the earth and throw the planets out of
step, but they make no sound.
I saw a girl with shell goggles dusting some of them,
Unterrified by her proximity to such dangerous engines.
Look out, child, look out, don't get too near the Bernard Shaw
rheostat or the Walt Whitman fly-wheel.--_Christopher Morley_.
"May I take this book home please, or isn't it a _running_ book? Oh,
I'm so glad, I thought it might be 'for reference only.'"
MAN--"I'd like a book on dramatic expression."
LIBRARIAN--"Oral, of course?"
MAN--"Yes, I don't like poetry."
LIES
Sin has many tools but a lie is the handle that fits them all.--_O.W.
Holmes_.
