In addition to the volumes placed
upon the shelves orders have been
placed for about 200 books which will
be catalogued in the near future The
made by the town is not
available until August or September,
and it is our intention to distribute
the expenditure so that there may be
a steady flow of new books into circu-
lation throughout the year.
The circulation for the year ending
Jan. p was 4S,004, the largest in the
history of the library. With especial
pleasure We report that the use Of our
resources for reference and investiga-
ton is rapidly increasing. Every ques-
ton that arouses public interest sends
people more and more to the library
This feature of the library work is far
more important, we believe, than in
crease of general circulation.

IOIED, REVIVED,
| HE DIED AGAIN
Was Restored After Heart Had
Ceased to Beat.
THE FIRST CASE OF ITS KIND
Fugitive, Who, Upon Being Caught,
Had Taken Cyanide Of Potassium,
Was, After Being Pronounced
Dead, Brought Back.

Boston, Mass.--After being dead
nine minutes, no respiration having
been manifested for As minutes and
no beating of the heart for eight min
utes, Willard Wallace. the Pittsburgh
clerk who fed from home and went
from city to city realizing large sums
on worthless raised drafts, was
brought back to life and lived for
three hours and twenty minutes at the
Boston Relief Hospital.
Wallace was subjected by DR.. VIII
liam j. Brickley to the operation
known as manual massaging of the
heart Several hours previously he
had swallowed cyanide of potassium
in the city prison, that he might put
an end TO the misery his arrest had
brought him.
Wallace died at 21O o'clock and DR..
Brickley said trat had he taken any
poison but cyanide of potassium it is
certain that his life would have been
saved
Wallace was to have been arraigned
in court as fugitive from justice. He
was caught after being trailed clear
across the continent, and warrants
were out for him in many of the
largest cities throughout the country.
In the Ave years that DR.. Brickley
has been connected with the hospital,
which is q city institution, there haVN
been 100000 cases treated. but this Is
the first one, he said tonight, in which
such an operation had ever been at
tempted.
ITO the best of my knowledge" he
added. 1T is the first time that such
an operation has ever been performed
successfully anywhere"
During the more than three hours
that he lived after being brought back
to life Wallace was seen by some of
the leading physicians of Boston, and
they were naturally keenly interested
in the case
An incision was made in the abb
domen, just sufficient to admit DR..
Brickley's hand, 81 put one finger

with constant massaging by eight
members of the hospital staff, work

three hours. The man lived until 2.10

GO BACK TO OLD FASHIONS
Some Designs In Hats Look as If They
Might Have Been Copied From
Family Albums.

A great deal has been said anent
the fact that many of the new fashions
look as If they had been copied from
the photographs in the family album
One is more and more impressed with
this thought as the season, with
its ever-changing fashions, advances,
Certain 1t is that there Is a decidedly
old-fashioned look about many OF our
clothes.
And have you seen the hats that
look as II they were trimmed with
wax flowers under glass? Surely you
remember seeing some time, in some
old-fashiOned drawing room, waxed
flowers under a little dome Of glass?
This new method of hat trimming is
suggestive of the waxed flowers
