When The clerks had tabulated the returns and

only s273 names had been dropped from the rolls.
As there was reason believe that the rolls had
been padded to the extent Of about g 0O0 by the

purpose of cutting down this county's
voting strength so as to secure two rot

delegation was hooted at by the clac-
quers marshalled by the State machine,

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over
work or strain on brain and body. the
course of treatment for such condi-
ton is plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified so that the nervous sys
tenn, and in fact all the organs will be
fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people
without number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength imparting medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparila. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish when
Hood 'sSarsaparilla is persistently taken
in word, health and happiness follow
after taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

and Forget Them.
In reply to query from correspon.
ent of "Cassell's Saturday Journal" a
London second hand bookseller said:
VI frequently make finds in books I
buy, 1t is extraordinary the number
OF things that are slipped between the
pages of books for moment, and after.
wards entirely forgotten. Letters with.
out number l have found, and flowers,
locks of hair, unmounted photographs,
bank notes, checks and many other
things, too.
VI bought volume of we'll known
work from lady some years ago, and
after she had gone, while turning over
the leaves, came across will which
disposed of some thousands of pounds
worth of property. put the will care.
fully away, and the following day the
lady returned in frightful state Of
excitement, and wanted to buy the
book back at my own price. guessed
what she really wanted, but thought it
rather strange that she should ask to
buy the book instead of merely asking
to be allowed to examine it, which
would have been just as effective.
However, told her l had found the
will, and supposed that was what she
wanted. She looked confused, but con-
fessed it was, so handed it to her and
she went away. Up to this time thai
will has not been filed, so have learn
ed, and I have not the slightest doubt
that it has been suppressed for the pur-
pose of depriving some one of the prop.
erty which it disposed of. But the most
interesting case in which | have been
concerned in this way happened not
long ago.
"a well dressed, gentlemanly man
brought me three bulky volumes, and
wanted me to purchase them. As they
were of class of books the value of
which varies considerably, according
to the condition and edition, and was
very busy at the time, 1 asked him to
leave them, that l might examine them,
and call next day. This he consented
to do, and went awav. When l looked
at them, l came across large number
of bank notes. They were evidently
quite new, and there was something
about them which made me doubt their
authenticity. l compared them with
notes of my own, but could not dis
cover the faintest dissimilarity. How
ever, to make sure of the matter, sent
them to be paid into my bank. Natu-
rolly, when my messenger came back,
having passed the notes without the
slightest difficulty, concluded they
we're all right. -
"The next morning received mes
sage from the manager of my bank
saying he would like me to call upon
him. went round, and was not very
much surprised when he said that
every one of the notes I had banked
that day before were forgeries. ex-
planned the matter and we wired to
Scotland Yard. That afternoon l had
a new assistant in my shop. Toward
the close of the day the owner of the
volumes came sauntering into the shop
and asked if l intended to buy them.
At sign from me my new assistant

him off. Scotland Yard had been look

currence.'
