In London, heard Kelly last April il

do you Think asked Kelly of tn,

So Kelly returns to Ireland, from
which, as he says, his grandfather was

took refuge with his sons in America.
1t was at Keith's new theater in Phila

his famous actor-grandson. Kelly was
near the end of the program. After the
show the old gentleman said:

part of the EVENING""
oh, was playing pinochle in my
room with the boys" answered Kelly.
"And what did ye do after we finished
the talk?"
Just washed and changed my

"Yes."

Kelly told him the amount.

Kelly pointed the moral of his tale
by counting 1000 and taking the stakes
for the second game just as he finished
the story. The Virginia judge can tell
stories and play pinochle at the same
time, which proves him at once a
natural story teller and a born pinochle
player.

NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM PUBLIC LIBRARY

The opening of the duplicate fiction
list at the public library has been
delayed several weeks by the freight
tieup, by which so many merchants
suffered. The books were somewhere
on the road" They have now been
received and installed and this new
system will go into operation tomor-
row. This takes the place of the, old
postal card system, which had been
in use in the library for five years.
Now those who are in a great hurry
for the new novel, instead Of paying
cents for a postal card to reserve it
and getting 1t after a month or two,
viii get the book at once-up to a
reasonable limit, for not more than
fifty copies of a current novel will
be purchased. This modern system
has been in use in several progressive
eastern libraries for many years and
has given great satisfaction in all of
them. 1t is expected to work as well
here.
The special autograph collection be-
ing made by the library has already
attained interesting proportions, and
an exhibit is now being made of some
of the important contributions. The
library provides uniform stationery
with it's own heading, so that these
autographs can be bound in volumes
according to class. A large number
by signed water colors, pen and ink
and other sketches of a high average
of merit: and several such sketches
have already been received from ar
lists of national reputation. Besides
this there are many manuscript pages
sent by such people as Justice Brewer
of the United States supreme court,
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Joa-
quin Miller, Ina Coolbrith, Robert j.
Burdette, Theodore H. Hittell Ghe
California historian), r. G.. Bourne
sends several pages of his famous es-
say on table manners-the original
manuscript of his first draft, and so
on, These autographs are exhibited
In the show case in the reference room
on the third floor of the Laughlin
annex.
The check room at the entrance was
opened this week. 1t Is the first time
that the more than $500 patrons a
day have had a chance to check their
hats, umbrellas, oVercoats and par
cells in the library, as they would do in
any good hotel or club. The conven-
ience proved so popular after the first
day that the accommodations for UNI
brellas will be doubled at once. Neith-
er wet umbrellas nor mems hats are
ornaments to any library reading
room. The check counter at the en-
trance results In dryer floors and
greater convenience to patrons.
The steam radiators are being en-
larged to give more satisfactory serV-
ice In heating. The temperature Is
now taken hourly by four first class
thermometers and the contract tenn
perature will be secured and main
tanned.

TESTIMONY IS REFUTED BY
EVIDENCE

Attorney
. RAVE accusations were made yes

- RAVE accusations were made yes
terday in department Z or the
- superior court when, during the
argument i'm the Arnez divorce case,
Attorney Appel, representing Mrs. Be
atrice Arnez, the plaintiff, openly de-
nounCed many of the witnesses OF the
defense as periurers and intimated that
subornation OF perjury had been prac-
ticed by private detectives connected
with the case.
throughout the trial allegations of
the sort have been rampant, but the
subject was little discussed until yes
terday when Attorney Appel took up
the argument before Judge Hutton,
Some of the first witnesses for the nus
band, James Arnez, became at tault
when put under rigorous cross-eXami-
nation and before they had been on the
stand twenty minutes many OF them
began to make denials with painful re-
suits to themselves. one witness, a
Mexican, testified that he had gone to
a room occupied by Mrs. Arnez and
had there spent the evening drinking
and smoking and having a good time.
He said that at the close of the even
ing performance Mrs Arnez had walked
into an adjoining room and had thrown
herself into a bed alongside of man,
described as being about six feet tall.
When the woman who owned the apart
nent house took the stand later in the
trial she testified that the door between
the room occupied by Mrs. Arnez and
her baby and the adjoining room had
been nailed up for more than year
and that the adjoining room had neither
bed nor furniture, but instead was
filed with the apparatus of a cigar
makers factory.
Evidence Refutes Testimony
She further testified that there had
been no carousal in the room, that she
had found no empty beer bottles or
0gar stubs and that on August II, the
day upon which the alleged spree took
place, Mrs. Arnez was sick in bed.
That evidence was further substanti-
ated by physicians, who testified to
having attended Mrs. Arnez on August
12 and on days preceding and subse-
Quent to that time.
Another witness testified that he had
seen Mrs. Arnez and that she had called
him her old sweetheart and had well
coined him to her arms. He testified
that he had met her at county fair
at Yorba, orange county, about ten
years ago.
Later evidence brought to light the
fact that Mrs. Arnez had never seen
the man in her life and that there had
never been any county fairs at Yorba
which, according to the statements of
witnesses, consisted of a store and one
or two shacks on the railroad.
"I do not blame these gutter snipes
who swear to lies" said Attorney Appel
yesterday in his argument before the
court. II do not blame them that they
get on the stand and testify as they
have done. Two of those boys who tes-
tilted I have known from their early
childhood. have known their tempta-
tions from childhood and I have known
what a little money would mean tt
them when they are starving. 1t is the
suborners of perjury whom blame, the
men who got these witnesses to testify
as they have DONE"
1t was intimated further during the
argument that perjury charges might

If You Suffer, You Can Be Cured.
Costs Nothing to Try.

If you think that you must be oper-
ated upon to be cured of piles, you are
wrong. Thousands of cases of piles of
excruciating severity-worse no doubt
than yours. have been cured painlessly,
quickly and permanently, while the
patient has been at his work without
the loss of time necessitated by an oper
alton. In fact, many a sufferer has not
been able to reach his work or even
move across the room until after using
the home remedy prepared by the Pyra-

we're proved. he said 20 be either in
sane or defective In varying degree, and
only a little over 81 per cent. could be
described as of average mental ca
pacity" In regard 20 the insane inc
briates, the lecturer was satisfied that
the majority had become alcoholic be-
cause Of their tendency to insanity, not
insane a. the result Of alcoholism, and
that the preceding drunkenness was
merely precursory evidence Of approach
ing mental disorder. Those classified
as mentally defective showed certain
physical signs Of arrested OF distorted
development, such as abnormally small
or misshapen heads, irregularity in the
upper or lower jaw, and deeply placed
eyes. Such cases always gave evidence
OF impaired development Of moral sense,
imperfect in control over impulse, and
defect in power of judgment. Even in
regard TO those classified as Of average
mental capacity il could not be said
that they were composed of entirely re-
forable individuals; everything depended
upon the degree Of mental defect.
Dealing with the control and treat
ment of alcohol, the lecturer held that
"the influences which incite or strenbth-
en- moral resolution are useful only when
applied TO iuebriates whose mental con.
dition approaches the normal" He con-
sidered tnat drugs were extremely val
liable for the relief of unpleasant symp-
toms during the transion from long con-
tinued drunkenness to enforced sobriety
When it became = matter Of physical
control, the lecturer pointed out that
benefit from such treatment was often
lost by too long delay in applying it,
Control should be applied before tne
original defect Is increased by added de-
generacy."-London Post.
