Flnlay N. T. TO-MORROW IS SHORTEST DAY William B. Cook, assistant librarian of the State Library at Albany, heads the list of candidates eligible for the 2,500 position of assistant librarian of the Brooklyn Law Library. Cook Is the same man whose name has been whispered around as the person the peculiar requirements for the Brooklyn job fitted almost exactly.

Aurora's rosy beams will light the east at a disgracefully laie hour for her, and the fiery chariot of Phoebus Apollo, sometimes called familiarly "Old Sol," will not come careen ing forth from the cloudy garage until 7: IS. The pursuit of the dawn by the sun will not be visible In this latitude for more than nine hours and fourteen minutes, for the dun will disappear at exactly 4:32 P.M. To-morrow will also be the anniversary of tho landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in lii2u. Many a breakfast of Plymouth Rotk hen fruit will be eitten before the sun rises and nearly an hour and a half of work will remain to be done by the poor mortals in offices after the sun goes to rest. Lieutenants Lewis and Archie Zahn of Company Fourteenth Regiment, were the men of the hour last night In the Eighth avenue armory.

Law and Archie had come brimming over with the tale of an adventure rivaling any of the penny dreadfuls at their worst. They themselves were the heroes and now there Is a movement on foot among their brother officers to decorate them both with medals at the annual dinner of tho officers of the regiment to be held later In the season. Lew and his brother Archie live at 90S Avenue Flatbush. They were returning to their home one night when the adventure occurred. It was about midnight.

There was no silvery moon, but the stars shone brightly through the crisp night air. Jockey York, who lives but a few doors away from the Zahn boys, was on the front porch of 9u8 Avenue trying to say In the longest possible time the merest nothings to the Zahn boys' sister by way of bidding her good-night. When 'the big brothers reached the porch they greeted Jockey York and bade him good night all in the same breath. They had scarcely gone inside the house, however, when the crash of falling glass was heard. "What's that?" exclaimed Miss Zahn, excitedly.

"Sounds like burglars!" answered the jockey, then he shouted for Lew and Archie. As the twain rushed headlong out of the house, a street car happened to bowl by and there was a second crash. "Burglars!" exclaimed the Zahn boys in unison, and they rushed within to procure arms and ammunition. Archie picked up and loaded his Winchester rifle and Lew grabbed a club. They then fell into lino and advanced upon the scene of the breaking glass.

As they neared the place they discovered that the entire front window of Cunningham's grocery store at the corner of Coney Islnnd avenue and Avenuo had been broken. When within 50 paces of the store, they formed into line of skirmishers and stole nearer the dark Interior of tho store. Archie stopped to reconnoiter and presently with the aid of his night glass he discerned two shadowy forms moving about within the store. With a eavage shout of victory, he rushed upon them and in a stentorian voice commanded them to surrender. Lew soon Joined him and both closed In upon the enemy.

Archie fired his Winchester. Tho report from the rifle soon brought the police, and two burglars, caught red-handed in the act of looting Cunningham's grocery store, were turned over to the minions of the law. The names of the men arrested are John Martin and William Gordon, who were Indicted a day or so ago by tho grand Jury In several counts not only for burglary, but also for false registration and fraudulent voting and for a some of the men who framed the remarkable requirements for the job. The trustees of the Brooklyn Law Library are well satisfied. In fact, they could not have been better satisfied had they set out to get Mr.

Cook from Albany, and put him In 'the $2,500 job that they have to fill without civil service red tape. They deny that they fixed the qualifications to fit Mr. Cook's case, but at the same time they have admitted that they were well acquainted with Mr. Cook, his ability and practical experience, when they set out to get an assistant librarian. No formal examination was held by the Civil Service Commission.

Candidates were simply required to file their applications, setting forth their qualifications. It was an interesting circumstance of the result that the -man placed at the head of tho list by the Civil Service Commission was one whom the' trustees knew well and deemed eminently qualified for the place. The following were the requirements fixed by the trustees of the Brooklyn Law Library for the State Civil Service Commission: 1. Must be a member of the bar of this state or a law school graduate. 2.

Must have had at least five years experience In a public library, or be a graduate of a library Bchool. 3. Must be thoroughly acquainted with legal literature. 4. Must be acquainted with the methods, purposes and uses of a reference law library.

It appears that Mr. Cook was best qualified of all the men who made application, he having been placed at the head of the eligible list. He has not yet secured the job, but the probabilities are that he will be selected by the trustes. since he heads the list. The trustees of the Brooklyn Law Library put the matter of the selection In the hands of a committee, which framed the requirements, consisting of William N.

Dykman, Walter Shaw Brewster and former Judge William B. Hurd. That committee has met and has decided to leave the selection to the full board of trustees. The board will meet in a few days. The announcement by the Civil Service Commission that there was a $2,500 assistant librariansbip to.

Those ladies seem to try to see which can say 'damn' the loudest." la conclusion, Dr. van Dyke said that the moral of literature does not lie outside the great realm of ethics, that the writer must take life as he finds it and present it so as to make his readers realize that "The great business of us all is to live, and to live as well as we can." the trustees were after a particular There has been considerable feeling on the. part of Brooklyn jrien who wanted. to take the examination for the job, but who felt the conditions were Impossible, except to an exceedingly limited number.

Gaptain Tumbridge did not acquire the site of the stablo for the purpose of erecting an addition' to his hostelry, although it will ultimately be used for that purpose; but he said last night that It was principally to get rid of the stable. A new addition to the hotel Is now in course of construction at a recently acquired site on the corner of Orange and Henry streets. The captain said that he would commence tearing down the stable as soon after the first of the year as possible, when James J. and Annie Donnelly, who have operated the stable for the past few years, as did their father before them, will give up possession. According to the eaotain's son.

Major John William Tumbridge, engineer officer of the Second Brigade, the site will be converted into a park.

Traits Distinct in Literature. Temperamental traits are most distinct in literature, giving it color and personality. The speaker found Btrong religious sincere love of nature, broad sense of humor and deep sense of humanity reflected in our literature. The fine quality of the first was discussed, though Dr.

van Dyke said: "I will admit that strange forms of religiosity have appeared. America has offered fertile Boll for the culture of new Teliglous microbes." Professor Munsterberg was quoted as to the strength and effect of the religious idea here, "I suppose there Is no Other country in the world where so many people break away from the fatigues of business and go to the country for recreation," said Dr. van Dyke, then quoted the immense commercial preparation made for the annual camping out' period. In California the people have gone beyond requiring tents and camp in the open in increasing numbers. The number of Audubon societies was mentioned, all of these facts going to show that the interest in country life is vital and temperamental and is fed by the beauties and wonders of nature in our country.

"Another expression of this-feeling is found in the increasing number of nature books," 6aid Dr. van this remark causing much laughter. "Some of them aro in tho line of history," said he, "and some of them of fiction." "Our sense of humor is famous. If not notorious," it was said, and our ready Jests, like our ready made shoes, have an oblique form which makes it difficult impossible for other people to get Into them." Here Dr. van Dyke mentioned as an instance the report of the sudden death of Mark Twain while in Europe, and he, fearing that his friends would hear of it.

at once cabled, "Account of sudden death grossly exaggerated." This Dr. van Dyke repeated to an Engllsraan, who looked at him piteously and said, "How could you exaggerate a thing like that? Mr. Twain was alive, or. he was dead." Yankee Humor Analyzied. Our humor was analyzed with numerous funny anecdotes offered in.
