An Oakland lady who has taste for good lltera-
ture tells what happy time she had on Tie
Road to Wellville.'' She says:
Il drank coffee freely for eight years before I
began to perceive any evil effects from II. Then
| noticed that l was becoming very nervous. and
that my stomach gradually losing the power
to properly assimilate my food. In time 1 got
weak that l dreaded to leave the house-for no
reason whatever but because OF the miserable con.
dition of my nerves and stomach l attributed the
trouble to anything in the world but coffee, OF
course. l dosed myself with medicines which In
the end would leave me In a worse condition than
at first. l most wretched and discoura ye,i-
not 80 years old and feeling that life was fall
ure!
II had given up all hope Of ever enjoying myself
like other people till day | read the little
book The Road to Wellville.' 1t opened my
eyes. and taught me a lesson shall never forget
and cannot value too highly. l Immediately quit
the of the old Kind of coffee and began to drink
Postum Food Coffee. 1 noticed the beginning Of
an Improvement In the whole tone of my system,
after only two days of the drink and in
very short time realized that l could go about
like other people without the least return of the
nervous dread that formerly gave so much
trouble. In fact. my nervousness disappeared en-
tirely and has returned, although 1t Is now

Coffee And my stomach is like iron-noth-

printed at Oxford the first book on sports,
printed at ST. Adams in 1886; the first book
printed in Paris and the first in Rome, and
large collection of the first prints of AL
dus, the founder of the Aldine Press, can be
found here.
Mr. Morgan's collection is almost COM
plete. 1t lacks only few copies of being a
perfect collection OF all the books printed
between the invention of the art and the
year 1850. He is adding to this constantly
and hopes to be able to fill in the gaps.
During his present journey he has made
several purchases, but people here do not
know exactly what they are. The other day
one of the London papers which is devoted
to book news contained an announcement
of the sale of five volumes for 10000; but
the titles of the books and the names of the
seller and purchaser were not given. Mr..
Morgan is supposed to have been the chief
figure in this mysterious transaction, but
the facts will not be known until his return
to this country.
Protests of the British.
This announcement has provoked several
earnest protests in the English press against
permitting the most precious gems of Brit
ish libraries to go to America. At a recent
Shakespeare commemoration banquet Mr..
Sidney Lee complained that American col
lectors were stripping Great Britai in of all
the early editions of Shakespeares plays
and other books which have been considered
national heirlooms. AS an illustration he
mentioned the fact that at the auction sale
of the library of the late Locker Lampson
of Rowfant twenty-seven copies of Shake
speares works. printed in the lifetime of the
author, were gobbled up by American bid
ders. But long Americans are willing
to oyerhid English buyers the latter have
nothing to complain of.
In the early days of printing it was Gus
tomary to prepare special copies for mem
bers of royal families, bishops, cardinals
and the nobility, and many of them were
decorated in a most elaborate and costly
manner. Mr.. Morgan has made a collection
of these, which is of great value and inter-
est. He is also the possessor of at least
enc unique book-the only copy known OF
an atlas of the different ports-of the Medi-
terranean, with descriptive text in verse,
which was printed by Bartholomew DALI
Sonnetti in Venice in 1476. 1t is curious
volume.
The most valuable book owned by Mr..
Morgan, and one of the most valuable IN
the world, for which he paid $4,000, is a
manuscript Book of Hours prepared for
the Queen of Naples in 1890 by Julio Clo-
vic, a celebrated artist. 1t is about the
size of an ordinary prayer book and every
page is Illuminated with miniatures and
other designs. The covers of solid gold
exquisitely chiseled.
Mr.. Morgan has gone in for manuscripts
a good deal, lut his collection is not on ex-
hibition. 1t is locked up in the safe deposit
vault. He has invested many thousands of
dollars in autograph letters.
The highest price ever paid for an auto
graph letter was So, $50, for one written by
Lord Nelson to Lady Hamilton. The next
highest was S4,525, for fourteen-page
epistle written by Mary Queen of Scots to
a British nobIeman in 1862.

Sullivan to Fight Britt.

Kid Sullivan of this city having demon
strated that he is a better boy than the
much-vaunted Battling Nelson. has been
offered a match of twenty rounds with
Jimmy Britt. said to be the best white
boy of his weight in the world and who
would have been the lightweight champion
if he had not lost to Joe Cans on a foul.
The offer to Sullivan to meet Britt came
from the Hayes Valley Athletic Club of
San Francisco, and fixed July IL as the
time of meeting. Sullivan's manager has
announced his terms, and if they are ac-
cepted by Britt the match viii be cinched.
If this is done the proposed match between
Britt and Nelson will be cancelled
