Irene did SO and the witch, Irene and
Tom, the cat who stood on the end of
the witch's broomstick began to ascend.
Irene held on tightly at first until the

the rooster showed tendency to wan

out of patience. She turned her hack
for a minute, and when she looked
around there were the hens up by the
coop, while the rooster was sedately
pacing across the garden toward the
next yard.
Dolly stamped her foot ON the side

Come back here TO your own family"
The rooster proceeded with perfect

Indeed, his personal representa-

to him mad not to the committee at
Louisville. which had charge of his
defense fund and raised the money
and paid the expenses OF the trials.
I'VE were instructed also by him
TO not send postoffice money ord

much money, and he sent the
checks and cash out OF the state

became so large that he could not
handle II at home.
The sale OF his books was no
small thing. As early as 1903 he
had orders for 10000 or 5O,OOO,and
they sold well until the public
learned that the speech printed
was very different from the speech
actually delivered by Powers. II
became necessary to suppress the

would get wise to th9 enormous
sums already collected.
