 Yes yes." replied the woman beating her foot impatiently on the rug "Of course I did. Now don't you waste a single minute with your dickering. MT. Levy. l simply must have a new play for next season and it is getting very late and l am able to pay well for 1t if 1t Is right. But mind you it must suit my style of work and be absolutely new and the authors royalties must not be too great. l don't care about your com mission"

 When can I read it," she asked eagerly.
 Now. today" replied the other. If the terms are satisfactory" He leaned for ward and whispered a sum in her ear.
 She started then laughed truly modesty Is not of your virtues she said. "Why that is a fortune"
 But you would save 1t in two seasons on the difference in royalties. We must all live you know. And you don't have to take 1t unless it is worth 1t to you"
 Very we'll hand 1t over." announced the woman.
 Next day Levy was summoned post haste,
 "Who wrote 1t? Who wrote it?" she de manded. Tt is work of an amateur. It is the work of genius and 1t truly was written for me. This Is some joke Who Is the playwright?"

 Powers made a long speech in his 1 case. and 1t Is doubtful if that did him | any good. He made a labored effort to | show that one Is not a conspirator be- | cause he has knowledge that a crime is going to be committed, even though he
 takes no steps to prevent 1t and 1t ac-

 worse morals. But why did he want to | make the argument at all? What pos sible good could 1t do him? All the | use it served was to cause men to sus-i | pect he had the knowledge that a crime was on foot It was unfortunate. Powers was tried repeatedly. and in- l variably found guilty, and now the case Is in the Federal Court under the civil rights bill of 1870. am glad that the Judge of the Federal Court paid no att | tention to the Taylor pardon.

 the State would be entirely eradicated. Powers's case is now in the Federal Court. In the case of the United States vs. Blyew ct al., Judge Black demanded | of the Supreme Court to know where
 the pardoning power rested. Where will 1t rest in Powers's case? Suppose tho l unexpected happens and he is convicted in this new Jurisdiction. To whom would he appeal for pardonf To the President of the United States7 He can only pardon for a crime against the United States. and this crime is against Kentucky. To the Governor of Ken- lucky? What power has he to pardon for a conviction in a Federal Courtf But Powers did not have a fair trial in the State Courts, and there was plenty of law to send 1t to the United
 States bench. What sort of trial will he have there? He will be tried by a
 Kentucky jury. Every Democrat on the
 jury will say guilty" every Republi-
 can will say not guilty"
 By 1906 Powers will be acquitted or

Endorses Pena for the Climatic Diseases of Hot Weather
The Dangers Attending Sum nler COldS-nOW to
 Avoid Them.

The most dangerous cold of the whole year Is that cold caught during the summer months.
 The night may start in hot A per son goes to sleep without any covers. Before morning the weather turns cold. A severe cold Is caught in this way.
 There are a thousand others ways in which a cold can be caught during the summer time besides exposure dur ing sleep.
 Neglected Colds Become Tenacious.
 Perhaps the victim pays no attention to It. The cold becomes settled.
 Such a cold Is more apt to affect the lungs or kidneys than cold caught during the winter months.
 Depressing Effect of Hot Weather.
 The depressing influence of summer weather. together with the cold, results in greater depression than when the system Is invigorated by the cold. bracing weather of winter
 Therefore it Is a recognized fact by many physicians that summer cold Is by far the most dangerous.
 The Remedy That Cures.
 The moral of this Is that at the slightest appearance of a cold in sum- mex. Peruna should be taken.
 There should be no let up in the use of Peruna until the cold has entirely disappeared.
 Learn by Experience of Others, great many people have discovered this fact through the expensive school of experience.
 It is much better to be forewarned upon this subject.
 Baron vendenheim's Interesting
 Testimonial.
 Baron J. M. vendenheim, 1925 c street. N. w., Washington. D. C., writes
 For long time, until came into this climate, I had congratulated my self upon having a perfectly sound pair of lungs. But began to have little coughs and annoying colds that shook my faith in my breathing apparatus. This continued until I had lost health and strength to an alarming degree.
 "Peruna cured me and restored my strength.

Libraries of the Country.

The United States commissioner of education has in his annual report a chapter on the libraries of the coun- try. Only those containing 1000 vol tunes or more are counted. There are nine libraries that contain more than 300.000 volumes each. and flfty-nine that have over 100000 each. It is shown that the North Atlantic States contain more than half the entire num- Der of libraries enumerated, 3.006 li- braries containing. in the aggregate 27,S05,9S0 volumes. New York Is at the head of the States, having 924 H. braries, with S,079,S63 volumes; Massa- chusetts next, with SPA libraries and 7.616,994 volumes: Pennsylvania fol- lows with 491 libraries. containing A. 5S0,312 volumes. These three States have nearly 30 per cent. of the libra ries and 40 per cent. of the number of volumes reported for the whole coun- try. Taking the country as a whole, there Is one library containing at least 1000 volumes for every 11.o00 of the population.

MENTAL ACCURACY Greatly Improved by Leaving on Coffee.

The manager of an extensive cream cry in Wis. states that while a regular coffee drinker. he found it injurious to his health and hindrance to the performance of his business duties.
 T cannot say" he continues, that I ever used coffee to excess. but I know that 1t did me harm. especially during the past few years.
 Tt impaired my digestion. gave me a distressing sense of fullness in the re- zion of the stomach. causing a most painful and disquieting palpitation of the heart. and what is worse. 1t mud dled my mental faculties So as to se- riously injure my business efficiency.
 T concluded about months ago. that something would havesto be done. I quit the use of the old kind of cof- fee. short off, and began to drink Pos tum Food Coffee. The cook didn't make 1t right at first-she didn't boil 1t long enough. and l did not find 1t palatable and quit using 1t and went back to the old kind of coffee and to the stomach trouble again. Then my wife took the matter in hand. and by following the directions on the box. faithfully she had me drinking Pos- tum for several days before I knew it. When I happened to remark that I was feeling much better than 1 had for d long time. she told me that had been drinking Postum, and that accounted for it. Now we have no other kind of coffee on our table.
 My digestion has been perfectly re- stored, and with this improvement has come relief from the oppressive sense of fullness and palpitation of the heart that used to bother me so. and I note such a gain in mental strength and acuteness that l can attend to my office work with ease and pleasure and with out making the mistakes that were so annoying to me while I was using the old kind of coffee.

Do whiskers grow faster in hot weather than In cold? The correct answer to this question Is: They do."

Men are always more irrf- table and harder to shave. This, coupled with the increased speed of execution, makes the whole business unsatisfactory for both the shaver and the shavee.

 Everybody remembers what an astounding | success Youth and Fate" was that season deorgiana Mabeiis never had scored any thing but success. but this over topped them | all. It was a play of youth and passion | and fire and love. and jeaiousiy and pride
 and pique. The boy and girl were nat- | ural that they exceeded art. The author had breathed into them. real people. real | blood. real personalities. Georsiana was
 the very personification of the girl.

 At the heighth of the triumph of the first night after AGeorgiana had been called and recalled a dozen times. a cry went up for the author. The manager was compelI- ed to announce that the authors identity
 was absolutely unknown. 50 carefully had he concealed it. In view of the great suc- cess of the production. however. he could | not remain long unknown and the theatri- cal world doubtless had another delightful surprise ahead of 1t. etc. etc. etc. The play grew in public favor and waxed strong and yet stronger. As the novelty wore off the actress whose triumph 1t was be- came more and more curious regarding the unknown author. She set in motion every agency of which she could think. but in

 For a moment the room swam and she saw nothing dstinctly-only a dark form. Then she saw clearly. uttered a slight gasp and went white chalk.
