best-known artists in the Antipodes.
For over ten years he was connected
with the Sydney Bulletin, one of the
largest papers in the colonies, where
he made himself famous for his pic
tures depicting the Jewish character,
while for the last four years he has
been on the staff OF The Age, pub
lished by the multi-millionaire, David
Symes, IN Melbourne, where he gained
even greater prominence for his
sketches of the Jewish type in par
ticular, and his cartoons of famous
men in general. as well as for the
able articles from his pen which sc-
oompanied all his drawings. At the
same time he Is known professionally
as one Of the best scenic artists that

IN Australia
Mr. Levy is himself Jew. who was
born IN Australia, and his present
visit, which, by the way, IS has frst
trip across the Pacific, is made ex-
pressly for the purpose of closing ne
gotiations with one OF the big East
ern publishing houses for the repro
duction Of a series of his Jewish pic
lures, among which is the "Tephillan,"
which is q marvellous study of an aged
Jew in the midst Of the orthodox
prayer, and the "Kaddish," which de-
picts a Jewish father and his two sons
with tesr-stained faces turned toward
the east while they repeat a prayer
for the departed wife and mother. 1t
is the strength and pathos as well as
the absolute fidelity 10 the Jewish
characteristics that have won snch
widespread praise and admiration for
these works.
Il is perhaps remarkable coinci-
dence that simultaneous with Mr.
Levy's arrival the Sunday Call should
be preparing for the publication OF
The Fugitive" a new novel. fresh
from the hands OF the author, Ezra S.
Brudno, less than three months ago,
but which has already become one of
the most talked OF books in both
Europe and America because of the
masterful way it depicts the life of
the Jews both in Russia and New
York, and which Mr. Somers, the head
OF the book department at the En-
pOrium, declares viii be one of the
biggest selling books of the year.
Beginning next Sunday, June II, it
will be published comolete in FIVE in

appearance all the more notable, Mr..

 Yours very truly, w. M. LORD. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Peruna for other ailments. The req son for this is, most other ailments begin with cold. Using Peruna to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Peruna in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic affections of winter and there will be no other ailments in the house.

After wandering around the summit for several hours they came across one of the new shel ters built by the monks. In it they found bread, cheese wine, q spirit lamp and telephone. With the lat. ter they called up the hospce and asked for help. By the time they had finished good meal monk and a dog arrived to show them the way.

 Seek Other Fields.
 Edison's first invention and which probably had considerable influence on his career was thought out in the days when Mir. Edison earned his daily bread operating the Boston-New York night wire of what is now the Western Un- lon Telegraph Company. The pay was not particularly large. but the work was light, so light that New York, in order to make sure that the man on the Hub end of the wire was attending to business, arranged for him to call up every hour after midnight, give Ms official call and sign 1t. It Leng argued that this would keep him awake. It did keep Edison awake for q few weeks. Then he set about utilizing his spare time on device which would beat the smart ones" who ruled the New York office.
 The result was all that could be ex- pected from MT. Edison's successes in later life. It was an arrangement of q battery with clock and circuit breaking instrument, which at the proper time would give New York the looked for signals. For weeks 1t was the marvel of Mir. Edlsons friends that he got along with so little sleep. Then the denouement came in the form of a call for Boston from New York with a very important message. Though Bos- ton had signalled but few moments before, 1t was found impossible to raise that city when 1t was necessary to send the message. Nearly an hour later the New York operator was pounding away, when the circuit was opened and the sounder gave off "Bn. Ed. O. K" Immediately the call for Boston was renewed, but no answer came for an hour, when the magic sig nal was again repeated. All night long the wire was watched, and when morn ing came the manager at Boston was asked to explain the mystery.
 The manager, a canny Scot, knew a thing or two, or, at least, he thought he did, and without saying word to anybody, examined the clock In Edi. sons locker, finding there the telltale wires and mechanism. That night, when the future wizard showed up for work, he found that the manager had decided to give him "30'-which in telegraphers' talk spells discharged.
 Edison knew well enough Awhat he was discharged for, and so left the next day for New York and the ca reer which has since made his name q, household word the world over.

 A Letter From the Governor of Oregon

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratula- ton and commendation testifying to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hun dreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest.
 The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti- san, the clerk, the editor, the states man, the preacher-all agree that Pe- runa is the catarrh remedy of the age The stage and rostrum, (. recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony.
 Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh Catarrh is well nigh universal: almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only abso- lute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds. to cure colds, is to cheat ca tarrh out of it's victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth.
