The Yalus Of old Books.

A Young man writes FROM ST. Joseph,
No. 20 a dealer in this city that be Is
,ffering FOR sale, through stress OF hard
lines, a very rare book, presumably
l'the eldest book ia America" The
volume is printed ia Dutch, Is IN per-
feet condition and was published more
that 800 years ago. The present owner,
whose letter Droclaims his illiterscy,
believes that be has q yerita0le treas
IRE. He will be terribly shocked when
be discovers that his treasure is worth
In the market not more than So.
Age alone gives value 70 but very Few
books. Yet the average person has an
Idea that II book was printed long ago
IL must necessarily DO valuable, and,
what is curious, different people differ
az 10 the dates that make book old.
There are those who fancy that q vol
ume printed 100 years ago must DO es-
teemed very old and very rare and very
vOiable. Others show you with pride
Hudibras printed-we will say-in 1850,
or q Bible printed 200 years ago, and
these volumes are cherished because CT
their antiquity.
A very worthy lady living in Mossa-
ehusetts recently exhibited with an
elaborate flourish a volume OF sermons
bearing the date of 17S5-a volume she
revsred, loved and treasured because Of
its age. A few moments later she gave
up 10 the writer without any heSitancy
charming little 1927 reprint OF the
New England primer.

Omar Idea Of Enjoyment.

I know, or rather l used to know, a
village In DovonShire in which every
able bodied man used 10 subscribe regu-
larry TO a common fund. 1t was an an
Gent custom and possibly still! survives.
To what purpose do you suppose that
fund was applied? To making every
subscrlber-that is, every sbebodied
man in the place-drunk, dead drunk,
I fancy. but certainly drunk, on cider,
on certain appointed high days and hol-
Idays. Talk OF the temptation which q
great city offers TO a countryman to fall
into drinking habits? What singular
notions some folks seem to have!

Years ago, when thrown from car

them a thorough trial. In a very short
time the pain that L was suffering dis
appeared, and within q week I was en-
tlrely relieved. On another occasion,
when suffering from = severe cough,
which threatened pulmonary difficulties,
which I was recommended TO so to Flori-
da 70 relieve, I determined 10 test the
plasters again. applied them to my
chest and between the shoulder blades,
and in less than q fortnight was entire
~ cured. On still another occasion
when suffering from an attack Of rheu-
matlsm in the shoulder to such an ex-
tent that I could scarcely raise my arm,
I again resorted TO the plasrers, aud
within q very few days the rheumatism
entirely disap peared. have them con-

Three Holes Smashed in 1t BY His As
sAflant.
The preliminary hearing Of the case Of
Mathew Curry, charged with robbing
Couy Young, q Chinamsn, Of $25, oc-
cupied the greater portion OF yesterday
afternoon in Justice Seaman's court.
Couy Young is the proprietor yof
cigar store on Loa Angeles street, near
Second, and 1t is alleged increases the
profits OF his business by selling lottery
tickets in addition to tobacco. 20
On the evening OF August let hA was
seated in his store busily writing when,
he states, the accused and friend
named Mcdonald came in and began to
look over the lottery drawing. Al they
were frequent visitors to the place Young
paid no attention to them but kept on
with his work, when he suddenly felt .
stunning blow on the back Of his head
and fell forward onto the table uncon-
scious. When he partly regained his
senses he managed to crawl TO . cot.
where he was found by the officers
short time after. At the time he was
hit he had about $25 in silver In bis
pocket. This was all taken with
the exception of o few pieces, which
had fallen to the floor. The China
mans head bears ample witness to the
fact that he was brutally assaulted,
there being three holes in his skull, the
only wonder being that he did not die
on the spot. Young was very positive
that Curry was the man that struck
him, as the other fellow was on the
opposite side of the table at the time he
was hit. The police officer who found
Young after he was hurt was put on the
stand, and testified that be saw the de-
fendant in Young's store about 20
minutes before he found the Ohinaman
with his head smashed. The door was
locked and had to be broken In. the
thieves having made their escape by tho
back door.
The defendant conducted his own
case. and exhibited considerable shrswd-
ness, indicating that he has had ex-
perience in this line before. He intro
duced number of witnesses to prove
an alibi, with but poor success, ae none
of them were able to swear positively
v wLere he was on the evening of August
! 1st.
The defendant testified that hs was in
bed at the time and had not been near
the place. Owing to all testimony not
being in the case was continued until
Monday. N4.
Mcdonald has not been seen since the
robbery, and it is believed he has left
the city.
