LIBRARIANS
A country newspaper printed the following announcement: "The Public Library will close for two weeks, beginning August 3, for the annual cleaning and vacation of the librarians."
The modern librarian is a genius. All the proof needed is the statement that the requests for books with queer titles are filled with ones really wanted. The following are instances:
| AS ASKED FOR | CORRECT TITLE |
| Indecent Orders | In Deacon's Orders |
| She Combeth Not Her Head | She Cometh Not, She Said |
| Trial of a Servant | Trail of the Serpent |
| Essays of a Liar | Essays of Elia |
| Soap and Tables | Æsop's Fables |
| Pocketbook's Hill | Puck of Pook's Hill |
| Dentist's Infirmary | Dante's Inferno |
| Holy Smoke | Divine Fire |
One librarian has the following entries in a card catalog:
Lead Poisoning
Do, Kindly Light.
