Thrice-a-week New York World.

The Thrice-a-week World has
made special arrangements for the
year 1908. Its already great news
service has been extended and, as
heretofore, it will report all impor-
tant events promptly, accurately and
impartially.
An original and striking feature
of the Thrice-a-Week World in 1905
will be its serial publication of the
strongest and best fiction that has
ever appeared in the columns of any
newspaper. The novels already ar
ranged for, and which are by writers
known throughout the world are:
Cardigan" by Robert W. Cham
bers; Before The Dawn" by JOS
eph A. Altsheler. "The Reds of
the Midi" by Felix Gras. 1.-The
Cardinals Rose" by Van Tassel
Sutphen. ''The Blazed Trail" by
Stewart Edward White.
The Thrice-a Week Worlds regu-
lar subscription price is only Sl.OO
per year, and this pays for 1876
papers. We offer this unequaled
newspaper and the Democrat to-
gether one year for S2.15. The
regular subscription price of the
wo papers is $3.50. If

seek temporary recupcration from
these impure sources; then, when
their day is done, they resort to their

not in the vain hope Of nights good

that we have to face is the rapid in

FAMOUS PAINTINGS.

For u Mere Song.

Discovered by Accident and bought
For Mere Song.
The strange vicissitudes through
which some Of the most highly priced
and valuable pictures now preserved
In public and private galleries have
passed provides romantic reading.
Take, for instance, the case of Il sea-
scape by Turner.
A Captain Treharne was spending
holiday i'll yarmouth. CHANGING one
day to be turning over the thousand
and one articles in an old curiosity
shop, he came across dirty, ragged
painting depicting sen scene. 1t was
painted on an oak panel, was not
framed and was In terribly disrepu-
table condition. Prompted to buy the
derelict, the captain secured possess
sion of 1t for &c. The purchaser took it
home with him, the painting was clean
ed and the varnish removed. Scrutiny
then revealed the famous initials of
Turner. NJ. w. T."-and its author
lty was substantiated when submitted
to an expert, who estimated its value
Mt $500.
More remarkable still was the his
tory surrounding Raphaels Three
Graces." While rummaging among
collection of old furniture in Italy
French art lover named Henri Raboul
happened upon 1t. He acquired the
printing for few francs. On his re-
turn to France NJ. Raboul offered 1t to
the Louvre for q modest 5000, but the
great Partisan art gallery refused to
buy 1t. The owner finally disposed of
1t to an Englishman for $3.50. In few
years the painting passed through a
number Of hands. Finally 1t was pur-
chased by the Due d'Aumale for $685.
600.
More remarkable was the purchase
of the second example of Raphael's art.
A gentleman of Primer while walking
along the Harrow road one day had his
attention arrested by painted panel
In the window and bought it for -
cents. The gentleman took 1t home and
cleaned it. At the same time he was
mystified by the initial "R." on the
back Of the panel. 1t was genuine

HOPE FOR PEACE.
Unless There II Harmony There
Will Bc No Baseball.

The most general expression among
lovers of baseball In Paducah Is the
hope that the X. I. T. league will
harmonic, and prepare for a sue
cessful season. All talk about Padu-
cab not wanting TO be in a league
with Cairo is silly. AS a business
proposition, Paducah could not af-
ford to be in league without Cal
no. for Paiuoah and Cairo have dur
ing the two years of the Kitty league
virtually kept the league on Its feet,
and Cairo has always made a better
showing OF patronage than Padu-
cab.
The general opinion is that unless
the constitutional changes desired
by Cairo are made throwing each
club on its own ability to make ex-
penses, there will be no Kitty league.
as with Cairo out Paducah would
have to support the league, as 1t now
stands. The matter will be decided
in Paducah January 80.
