for New Yoxk to take up the literary
life, says the Kansas City Star.
Mr. Paine was selected by Mark
Twain himself to write the authorized
biography of the great humorist. The
task will require several years of in
teresting research over a territory as
wide as the nation Itself, for the long
life of Samuel Langhorne Clemens,

seventy-oue years ago, has zigzagged
from ocean to ocean iu its various
manifestations.
When Mr. Paine was a Kansan his
home was at Fort Scott, and he was a
photographer, with writing for an avo

days his camera is sometimes a val

brief intervals of leisure permitted to

Several novels, including “The Van
Dwellers” and “The Bread Line.” a
number of children’s hooks, an ocean
of magazine articles and the authoriz

Caleb Powers Completes Seven Years
In Kentucky Jails.
Caleb Powers has completed seven
years iu Kentucky jaik. He was ar
rested March 10. 1000, ou an indict
ment by the grand jury at Frankfort,
Ky.. charging him with complicity in
the murder of Governor William Goe
bel.
He has been tried throe times, being
sentenced to life Imprisonment twice
and to death once. The date for his
execution was fixed once. The Ken
tucky court of appeals reversed the
findings of the lower state courts each
time.
Since his third trial an effort lias
been made to take his case to the fed
eral courts on the ground that his
rights under the federal constitution
were being denied him in Kentucky
courts. Judge Cochran of the federal
court for the eastern Kentucky dis
trict took Jurisdiction, but the com
monwealth took the matter to the su
preme court, which sent the case back
to the state courts.
Consequently Powers is now in Jail
at Newport, Ky., awaiting his next
trial, which will be kcliL at George-

Quality, Economy, Price,
First—A Range or Stove that isn’t m ide of the very best material will soon cradk
—it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and you are dissatisfied.
Second—The Stove or Range tliat is built so that the heat escapes through un
necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one pro perl > built, then
your fuel bill is too heavy and you aie not satisfied.
Third—Don’t yield to the common fallacy that the arli le sold for the fewest
dollars is the cheapest. If a cooking apparatus isn’t built for a long life it isn’t
cheap at any price. It's not what you pay for a thing that
you get for your money.
Fourth—Our celebrated Leader Stoves and Matchless Ranges are especially
strong on these points—in fact all points pertaining to Stove jerfection—made of
the best material, don’t crack, will cut your fuel hi 1 in half, consequently the most
economical. They are wortli every dollar you pay for one. It is quality that’s con
sidered—not cheapness.
Come let us sell you one, as the present price is a very small consideration. h«t
they are sure to go higher, as you well know, eveything is advancing.
Yours for business,
