one of the election officers of the Tenth
Precinct of the Thirty-ffth District. was
the next witness. He was appoiu ted as an
additional inspector. He related in detail
where he had been and what he had done
on election day and the two subsequent
days, but became somewhat confused in
making The element OF time correspond to
his statements. he had nsver seen the
official envelope in the booth. An attempt
was made to have the witness testify at
what time Martinez and Buckley returned
from the Registrars office to the precinct
with the taly-sheet, but the witness could
not remember. He did remember that
Martinez went to sleep in the election
booth. 1t was proved by his own testi-
mOny that he went to the election booth as
an officer without examining the law.
The witness according to his own testi-
mOny had no curiosity whatever. He
never asked how the various candidates
stood, and did not examine the tally sheet
to see. He was not at all suspicious of
anything wrong and never questioned the
other officers as to anything which had
been done during his absence from the
booth.
He had told the election officers to sign
his name to the returns when he went
away, but did not ask when he came back
whether this had been done.
Then he grew very forgetful, could not
remember who were in the booths or
what was said.
Your memory Is very detective" said
Mr.. Clunle sarcastically.
Il haven't good memory and haven't
had for a good WHILE" was the mild re-
Spouse OF the witness. II told the MEM
bers of the board to sign my name to the
returns, SOFAS TO make majority"
''Who made these alterations?" asked
Mr.. Cune suddenly.
81 DON'T know" said the witness.
Didn't you leave because you didn't
want to sign the altered returns?"
''No, SIR
The witness was confused In going over
some portions of his testimony and sought
vainly to reconcile the element of time 10
some of his assertions. He was asked if
he did not see Mr.. Petts at the booth on
Thursday morning after saying that he
left the booth for the last time Wednesday
night. He admitted that be saw Pettis,
but thought it was on Wednesday.
Pettis was a Populist watcher and
Clunie asked, Didn't you tell him he
would get his neck broken if be
didn't keep away from the booth? ?"
The witness thought he had OF used such
violent language.
The hearing was continued until to-day

A WOMAN'S HEART.
One Disease That Battles the

The story of a Woman Who Suffered Tor
Nine Years. How She Was Cured.

From the Newark, n. J., Evening News)
Valvular disease Of the heart has always
been considered incurable. The following
interview. therefore, will interest the med
ical profession, since it describes the sue
cessful use of a new treatment for this dis
ease The patient is Mrs. George Archer,
of Clifton. n. j., and this publication by

case by any newspaper. All physicians con-
suited pronounced the patient suffering
with valvular disease of the heart, and
treated her without the slightest relief.
Mrs. Archer said: II could not walk across
the floor; neither could go upstairs with
out stopping to let the pain in my chest and
left arm cease. l felt an awful construction
about my arm and chest as though l were
tied with ropes. Then there was terrible
noise at my right ear, like the labored

THE EDIBLE FROG.
In Defiance of st. Patrick He Prospered in
Irish Marshes.

In Defiance of st. Patrick He Prospered in
Irish Marshes.
The edible frog is found in England,
though. as it was first noticed in Foul
ness Mere in 1913, it is probably an in
PRODUCTION from the continent. In the
course of the last fifty years attempts
have been made to naturalize it in
various parts of the south of England,
but without much success. Nor has
any better fortune attended the invol
untary immigrants placed in Irish
marshes. where. it may be mentioned,
the common brown frog has prospered
since 1896, in spite of the popular legend
touching st. Patrick and his curse. 1t
is difficult to understand this aversion
of the edible frog to the south of En-
gland. The climate is much the same
as that of northern France, and conse-
quently the theory that its tadpole
cannot undergo full development dur
ing the dry summer, before the advent
of autumnai cold, must be unfounded.
At all events, it ought to flourish in
Bedfordshire. Even for decorative
purposes some of its kindred are worth
acclimatizing The American bullfrog,
with a cape wide enough to swallow a
chicken, or the unsightly Austrian
Alytes. the male of which bears the fe-
males eggs on his thighs, would per-
haps not be acceptable introductions.
But the beautiful tree frogs, one of
which-the European Hyla-is kept in
Germany as a living barometer, sink
ing or rising in the water as rain or
drought is approaching, ought to be
unobjectionable. The lovely striped
species of the north African streams,
which it inhabits in company with a
trout. would be scarcely hardy enough,
but the leopard frog of the United
States might. with a little care, soon
form an interesting addition to our or
namental ponds. and, supplemented by
the green ''esculenta." impart the con-
trast of color to the homelier swarms
of their brown denizens.-London Tel

Reunited After Forty Years.

CARTHAGE. Mo-, Dec. Abraham FL.
Onstatt, a prosperous farmer of the
Chickasaw nation, who was on his
way east, changed ears at Monet
and there fell into conversation with
a Carthage man, who incidentally
referred TO the fact that Judge
John Onstatt was a resident of Car
thage. Being convinced that it was
his brother, Abraham Onstatt came at
once to this city and the meeting was
a joyous one. The brothers have been
less than 200 miles apart for forty
years, and during all that time each
has supposed the other dead.

Canght In the Act.

Waco, Tex, Dec. S.-An attempt was
made last night to burn the Texas cot
ton palace. Ayoung man, who refuses
to disclose his name, but who is said
to be named Harcourt, lives in Hous-
ton, was caught by a guard in one of
the toilet rooms setting fire to the dry
straw and grasses forming one of the
lines of decorations. A large space
had been covered by the fire, which if
it had communicated to the decorations
would have caused the building to burn
like powder. Seven thousand people
were in the building at the time, but
no alarm was given.

COST OF OLD BOOKS.
The Prices Vary According to the Quality
of the Dealers Patrons.

or the dealers Patrons.
The book hunter soon finds out that
the prices for old, rare tones varies in
ratio to the quality, or wealth, of a
dealers patrons. This is as true of
the book shops of San Francisco, Chi
cago, New Orleans or Boston as it is of
New York, the leading old book mart
of the country. If you go into the
stylish book stores of any of these
cities you will have to pay twenty-five
to fifty per cent. more for book than
if you went to the inconsequential
dealers in out-of-the-way places-in
cellars or in tumbled down shops.
Another point in book prices is the
high prices charged for one sort of
books and the cheapness of others.
On the five and ten-cent counters will
be found beautifully bound religious
works and volumes of novels, worn
and cheap editions of popular novels
and technical works, too ancient to be
of any special service at this time. 1t is
an unusual thing to find Il bargain on
any of these cheap counters: the deal
ers are exceedingly careful on that
score. Albeit, every once in n while, a
dealer gets caught mapping, and the
book hunter picks up n tome of great
value.
Then the prices go up and down, ac-
cording to the fads. The Napoleon fad
is now on, and everything about the
little Corsican is selling at an advance
on last years prices. There is also a
boom on Americans-the early editions
of Lowell, Hawthorne and Holmes now
bring good round figures. Just as soon
as the dealers find that the public is
after a certain line of books. the dealers
put up the price. This the dealers
deny, of course, but the book hunter
who makes regular rounds of the shops
knows better.
1t may be said that religious works
sell at the cheapest prices; dramatic
works, memoirs and annals of the stage
at the highest. Works on sport average
up with the drama. Audibon's works
are always held at high figures. Frank
Forrester'S works, now out of print, are
hard to pick up, and the few found on
sale go at fancy figures.
The high prices for sporting works
are owing to two causes. Works of
this character are rarely issued, except
in limited editions, and are well printed
and bound. Dramatic and sporting
works seldom go into second editions,
SO when an edition is exhausted the
purchaser must go to the old book store.
These works gotten up in the style of
Booths letters and Jefferson's autobi-
ography-both exquisitely illustrated
are not thrown away when read. like
most novels are, but are preserved for
reference. Hence, when a copy gets
into secondhand book stores the figure
asked is often greater than the pub
lisher's price.-N. Y. Advertiser.
