His Fears Were Realized.

A Georgia statesman says that
while he was in the shop OF an opti-
clan he once heard an amusing con-
versation between the proprietor OF
the establishment and an aged dar-
XIV, who was just leaving the place
with a new pair of spectacles, says the
Youths Companion.
AS the old chap neared the door
his eye lighted upon most extra
ordinary looking instrument con-
spicuously placed upon counter.
The venerable negro paused for sew
eral moments to gaze in open won-
der at this thing, the like of which he
had never seen before After long
struggle with his curiosity he was
vanquished. Turning to the opti-
clan, he asked:
What is it, boss::'
THAT is an ophthalometer," re-
piled the optician in his gravest tone.
':Sho!" muttered the old man to
himself as he backed out of the door
his eyes still fastened upon the GU
dious looking thing on the counter.
"Sho, dat's what l was afeard it was!"

STRANGE LEGEND.
Ascribes Origin Of Thibetans to Mon
key and Female Demon.

Times-Democrat.
Speaking of Thibet I am remind
ed Of one of the curious legends OF
that country" said man who likes
old stories, ''and while | do not vouch
fer it, YOU can have it for what it is
worth. 1t is one of the many legends
OF that middle Asiatic country. Tibet
was originally inhabited by wild ami
mails and demons. At certain per-
iod God sent there the king of the
monkeys, who led the life of her
nit: his exclusive occupation was the
performance of religious duties and
he was absorbed in the pursuit OF
the knowledge Of nonentlty. When
he was just on the point Of attain
ing the object Of his mission he was
disturbed in his contemplatlons by
the visit of female Manggus. The
Manggus, ugly demons, can adopt
any figure they please. One assumed
the form of beautiful creature and
proposed to the king of monkeys to
marry her. He at first alleged his
monastical duties, but at last he mar
ried her and their descendants are
the people of Tibet. They believe
in metempsychosis and are proud OF
their descent from monkey, because
he is one of the most cunning OF ami
mails. The first man king was by
name Seger-Sandilitu- u-Khanghan- -Tu1-

General Joe Wheeler relates the
following amusing incident that took
place during the night of the El
Caney affair:
General Lawton's division was
marching back to Ell Paso, there to
take up a new position in the morn
ing. The general in company with
Major Creighton Webb, Inspector
general of his staff, was standing at
the edge of the road, watching his
troops file past. Just as the dawn
was breaking the colored troops came
in sight. They gave evidence of
being dead tired, but were neverthe-
less full of ginger
General Lawton's attention was
attracted to certain corporal Of the
Twenty-ffth infantry, great 6-foot
negro, who in addition to couple Of
guns and two cartridge belts loaded
full was carrying a dog. The soldiers
to whom the other guns belonged
were limping alongside his comrade.
THE general halted the men,
Here, corporal said he to the 6-foot
man, didn't you mrch all last nights"
Yes, SIR responded the negro,
saluting.
And fought all day.
Yes, sir
You have besides been marching
since 10 o'clock tonight?
Yes, sir
'Then,' said Lawton, why on
earth are you carrying that dog?
We'll, general replied the negro,
showing his white teeth in a broad
grin, the dogs tired

WISDOM OF CHANGING
 PRIMARY ELECTION DAY.

"The Democracyssof Arkansas performed a wise act when il changed the day forS2 primary election every@sstwo years from Saturday to Wednesday," said the "man of experience" who never fails to attend the sessions of the Convention Club in Glea- sons lobby, and whomssaathe Ga zette invariably intervie W S. It was done by a1the last Democratic state convention. but so little has been said about it that the public is perhaps qna- ware of the change.
 There are potent reasons why the primary elections should not be held on Saturday and ssprinci- pal of these is the factssthat the ticket is so long the '@@5swork of counting the ballots in heavy pre- cincts must extend into the Sab- bath. Then, too, the invariable hanger-on who will not leave un- til the entire vote is counted is inclined to tank up and make Rome howl. It is better that such things, if they have ,sssto be tolerated, should be inflicted up- on us on Thursdays than on the Sabbath.
 'The idea of making the change originated with the Democracy of Pope tscounty and was incorporated into the repo Tt of the committee on resolutions at the state convention aby Rep resentative-elect U. L. Meade of that county. By the issway, Mr. also presentedsthe resolu- tion which was also adopted pro- for the plurality plan in the selection of. a Democratic nominee for United States sena- tor"

 Kay Deener was the next wit ness. He said there were three persons in the cemetery, but he did not know who they were. Witness saw Roberts on the street next day and guyed him about 'burying stiff" or get ting corpse, and Dr. Lightle called him into his office and talk ed the matter over with him. Witness and Roberts had had conversation after the burn- ing of Pitts body and he had asked him where his part of the money was.
 Mrs. Lightle was in the court room this evening and listened to Gregory testify. She smiled at times when questions touch- ing her alleged connection with the case were answered by him.

PLEAD GUILTY AND
 TOOK LOWEST FINE.

Henry Winland, a young farm hand who has been working on the Kinman, Mantooth and other places in Oil Trough, was brought before Esquire Guy Smith Friday morning charged with destroying the glass insula- tors by which the wires are at tached to the poles of the line of the Farmers Telephone Com pany. Though the lowest fine was $200 he declared that he wanted no lawyers and entered a plea of guilty. The court was merciful and imposed the mini mum penalty, which Winland must serve out at 75 cents a day on the county farm.
 Winland, it seems, was not only guilty of repeatedly break ing these insulators by shots from his pistol, but would return from Newport at night and fire his gun near every farm house he passed. He sought the repu- tation of desperate and found the penalty.

tORY GIVES
 JURY HIS STORY.
ears That Mrs. Lightle Knew Her Husband Was Not Dead And Paid Money to Rob- erts, Also to Wit
 as

Searcy on a charge of violating the grave may not conclude be- fore Monday. A jury has been scheduled and five witnesses for the prosecution have been exam ined, and much more remains to be done, as there are scores of witnesses.
 Among those whose evidence was given today was Walter Gregory, who turned states evi- dence, upon whose testimony, principally, Dr. R. c. Lightle was convicted at Searcy. Gre gory's testimony was quite as sensational today as it was a few weeks ago at Searcy. He was on the stand more than two hours, and detailed extensively the circumstances which he de- clared attended the robbery of Ed Pitts grave and the subse- quent palming off the remains for the body of Dr. R. c. Ligh- tie, in order that insurance to the amount of $21, ,000 on the lat ter's life might be collected. Gregory swore that he collected certain sums of money from Mrs. Lightle, wife of Dr. Ligh- tie, in Little Rock. His state ment elicited smiles from Mrs. Lightle, who was in the court room. Gregory also swore that he received letters from Dr. Lightle when the latter was in Georgia. All this was after the disappearance of Dr. Lightle from Searcy and the payment of the insurance money on the poli- cies carried by him.

 ycluded from the court r0v---,,sth they were taking an ac- ,tive part in the prosecution. OPENING STATEMENTS. MT. Brundidge made the open- ing statement for the state, out lining what they expected to prove and picturing in pathetic way the scenes around the grave the day Doctor Lightle was sup posed to have been buried. The Insurance companies were not bounding the defendant but only doing their duty to their policy holders in a case of fraud like this, and if they didn't, they ought to be put out of business. 1 Judge Stuckey outlined the de- fense in an eloquent manner, saying that he did not want to eejudice the jury by referring to flowers and funerals. He did not propose to establish how Pitts body came to be in Doctor Lightle's barn but the evidence Rf a perjured villain (referring to
 regory) was not to be credited.
 eEGoRY's SENSATIONAL TEsTI- MONY.
 After several of the insurance men had testified as to the poli- cies carried by Lightle and the attempt of Roberts to get insur- ance payable to his friend, Wal ter Gregory was called and came into the court room laughing. He said he knew Roberts and Lightle. He worked in Newport for some time. Witness said Lightle told him he had $2l, 900 insurance, and if they could get a body they would burn the body rk pi,esf the insurance. Witt

Little Rock. Roberts said Kirk land thought a negro could get them a body. Witness told of how they went to the cemetery, robbed Pitts grave, got the body, put it in the buggy and carried 1t to the barn of Dr. Lightle, robed in a quilt. A fresh grave was prepared and the body buried in the dirt and lime. The lantern was under a bucket. Kay Deem CT met witness next morning and asked what they were doing in the cemetery, and witness re- ported it to Roberts and Lightle. Witness and Lightle prepared the body the evening of the fire. He saw Lightle at church, and the doctor said he was going to pull off the fire that night, and was going to tell some one he had to fill up the lamp. Witness took note to Mrs. Lightle from Roberts in Little Rock and called at MT. Tones residence. Mrs. Lightle paid witness $240 and sent S1, ,000 to Roberts, wrapped in papers.
 Mrs. Lightle knew her hus- band was not dead" said the witness, land got letters from him."
 Witness got a letter from the doctor while he was in Clayton, Ga., and Mir. Roberts also got letters. The state made over- lures to witness and promised to be lenient with him.
 GREGORY ROSS-EXAMINED.
 The defense then took the wit ness, who said he had been in Hot Springs, Little Rock and oth- CT places, at the expense of the insurance companies. Witness remained in jail only one night, then turned states evidence, gave bond, and went to Hot Springs with Burton, an insur- ance detective, until the Lightle trial. Witness and Burton made a trip to Lake Village and Arkan- sas City. Witness clerked at Warner, Searcy and in Jackson county.
 Mr. Pace and MT. Andrews had a warm colloquy regarding questions concerning the occupa- Ition of witness. Mir. Jones asked witness why he went to Hot Springs. Gregory said he went to see the state convention, and MT. Jones asked him if he didn't go there as a paid detective to find out whether Congressman Brundidge rode on pass, at the instance of w. A. Oldfeld of Batesville. MT. Andrews object ed to the question, and twenty minutes wrangling followed, MT. Andrews saying he wanted a subpoena issued for MT. Oldfeld at once. MT. Brundidge remark ed that if Oldfeld had asked him he could have told him. Witness said Deener paid his expenses to Hot Springs.
