From Destruction.
Considering that the whole Of ancient
literature was confined to manuscript,
1t is wonderful that so much Of it has
come down to us. The preservation Of
some old writings has been almost
miraculous. To single copy preserv-
ed In a monastery of Westphalia, for
instance, do we owe all that we have
of Tacitus. This is the more remarka-
BILE since the emperor Of that name
had copies Of the works OF his distin-
guished ancestor placed In all the i'm
perial libraries and caused ten copies
Of them to be transcribed yearly. Stu,
only the one copy has been found In
modern times.

Riehelieu as an Editor.

The first reporter OF France was
Louis XIII. The National library pos
sesses the manuscripts OF thirty-six ar
ticles written by that king. Almost all
are accounts OF his military operations.
These articles were published Ia the
Gazette de France. The copy" how
ever. did not go directly to the printer.
Louis Kill wrote abomlnabie French.
and he had vague notions Of orthOgra-
ply. His articles were corrected and
often entirely rearranged by secre'
tary named Lucas. who copied them,
sending to Richelieu the new manu-
script. Richelieu examined It In his
turn and often introduced additional
corrections. AT the siege OF Corble the
king wrote a few lines eulogistic OF the
cardinal. but afterward crossed them
out of his article. RIchelieu wrote
them In again, and so they appeared in
the Gazette de France. Revue de Par.

|LOVELADY LOCAL BILL IS
 AMENDED BY THE SENATE

The opponents of the measure at the portunity to talk the measure over 'un- til today by carrying it beyond the adiourning time of the Senate, but they accepted the inevitable that the bill would ultimately pass and took advant- age of the amendments which they had forced from the friends of the bill.
 Two of the amendments were of con- siderable importance. One, proposed by Senator Reid of Covington, and adopt ed by the Senate, provided that where county went for prohibition. an elec- tion could be held at the end of two years to see if the people would be satiefled with prohibition. This feature of the bill had, perhaps. laid 1t open to more criticism than any other par ,icular feature. For the bill provided that If a county went dry" once 1t was dry" for good, but if it went wet" a prohibition election could be ordered within two years.
 Dispensaries are Protected.
 The second amendment enlarged the protection that had been given dispen- saries by the amendment of Senator Moody, and 1t provided that where dis pensaries had been established by the present Legislature, there could be nc whiskey election within two years af- ter the first of next January The bill was recensidered at the afternoon ses- sion in order that this amendment could be made more effective, by a new en. grating into the bill.

Delicate, weak, nervous women should especially shun the use of alcoholic medicines which, from their stimulat- ing and exhilerating effects may seem, for 8 time, to do good, but which from the inevitable effects of the alcohol in shrinking up the red corpuscles of the blood are sure to do great and lasting harm in the long run. Besides they beget craving for stimulants which is most deplorable.
 Only invigorating and nerve strength ening effects can follow the use of this famous medicine for women. It can not possibly do harm in any state or condition of the system. It has been carefully adapted to woman's needs by an experienced physician--a specialist in their diseases. It makes weak wom- en strong and sick women we'll.

tor had called up two local bills, In addition. a number of general bills were passed. It was altogether busy afternoon for the Senate.
 Two special committees reported early in the afternoon. the first report was from the special committee which had visited the Confederate Soldiers Home at Mounta Creek. The com mittee reported 1t found number or excellent buildings on the grounds although several of them were badly in need of repairs. It found, too' that the hospital needs of the Home were perhaps the most pressing
 The committee recommended that provision be made for matron at the hospital at salary of $4O month The committee found the chief complaint of the old soldiers was that their fare was not varied enough, and at times it was not prepared to suit them. The report was accomra- nied by recommendation from the Hospital Relief Committee of the Cni- ted Daughters of the Confectionery.
 The special committee which visited the Boys Industrial School at East Lake submitted its report through Senator Wilson. The committee had found 121 boys at the Home. The committee was complimentary in re-
 ferring to the Home and It's discipline.
 It was the opinion of the committee
 that the Home was a valuable insti-

 The bills to permit municipalities to tax express comranies and telegraph companies were called up by Senator l overton. The point was made by | Senator Thomas that the bills were revenuA biI's ana that under the con- l stitution they would have to origi- nate in the House. He pointed out l that their origin In the Senate would make them unconstitutional. Senator l Lusk said he was sdmewhat impressed | by the poirt of Senator Thomas, and 1 at his request the bills went over un- 1 til today.
 The blll of Senator Lusk to create

ADJUSTMENTS
J. M. BARRIE's NEW PLAY.

The new Barrie production, Alice
Sit-by- the Fire." in which Roselle
Knott is now appearing is certainly one
of the most attractive dramatic efforts
that has been produced on the Ameri
can stage during the last dozen years.
Barrie made a decided mark when he
produced 1.-The Little Minister" and
later added to his excellent reputation
when he came out with peter Pan" in
which Miss Maude Adams is now ap-
pearing. His last dramatic effort has
added to his enviable record when the
new play, "Alice-S by the-Fire" was
produced, and theater goers everywhere
have been loud in their expressions Of
approval of the play and the actress,
Miss Knott, who has presented it with
such marked success here in the ives,
and who will continue to present it to
the theater goers west of the Missouri
river. The story of the play is based
on the return of a mother and father
to their home and to their children
after an absence Of eight years, the
father being an English army ocer sta
toned in India, and the efforts of the
lilOlileT " VIII DdCk tIo IONC Ol uof
children who have grown from little
tots to a girl and a boy of Is and II
years. The scenes of the play are ex-
ceptiOnally clever and the comedy is
distinctly laughing, and at times, ex-
ceptionally interesting and attractive.
Miss Knott who has appeared in many
clever oductions-nOtably Cousin
Kate" The Cherry Pickers,' "a Mod
ern Magdalen," when Knighthood was
in Flower" and other productions of
similar Importance has a part in the
new Barrie play that is exactly suited
to her charming ability, and in this
part she appears to much better adj
vantage than she has appeared in 9TH
er plays. She is ably supported by a
cast of exceptional merit and the phe-
sentation from an artistic standpoint
is quite up to the American standard
of excellence. Roselle Knott will be
seen at the Keylor Grand theater to-
night.
