This company has presented it in other plates, always to crowded houses and enthusiastic audiences, and the peo pie of Mt. Sterling are promised a rare treat, such as seldom comes here. The unstinted enthusiasm ' of the press, the critics and the public in pruise of jits merits in other places is proof beyond question of its popularity as presented by the Uncle Rube Dramatic Club. The play itself is the kind that every one, young and old, heartily enjoys and talks about afterwards. It is brimming full and running oyer with hearty fun and humorous situations, with a vein of genuine humanity running through it that appeals to the better nature. There is not a dull minute from start to finish, and every line and speech is so clean and wholesome that it will not offend the most fastidious taste. Ladies, gentlemen and childrentof all ages will equally appreciate and enjoy it. In addition to the merits of the play and the unusual excellence of the performance, the two causes under whose auspices the play is given, namely the local camp of the Modern Woodmen of America and the Library Fund, are worthy the support of all good citizens who are interested in the welfare of our city. All who are inter- ested in tho above causes, espe-- cially should use their best efforts to make this a grand success financially, as it is sure to be artistic- Mr. Charles Green, a telegraph operator at the C. fe 0. depot in this city, died at on Elm street Saturday morning, after a short illness of meningitis, caused by inllammation of the brain.

Pneumonia Fatal to Sister of to our readers, as Miss O'Rear is quite popular in Mt. Sterling, her old home: Frankfort society is much interested in the plans that arc being made for the marriage of Ensign Caswell Saufley and Miss Helen O'Rear, as this is to be the event of the' spring season here. The date for the wedding has been announced for April 25, unless the present movement of the navy should cause some shift in the time. Just now there is no thought of a postponement and the plans are, being made for a handsome wedding in Frankfort on April 25. The names of the attendants have not been announced, but it is certain to be a pretty wedding, and it is understood that it is to be an elaborate one, with many attendants and maids, and all gowned handsomely. Tho wedding will probably be at the country home of Judge E. C. O'Rear, father of the bride. Miss O'Rear's friends in Frankfort will entertain for her and the bridal party extensively before the wedding, and it is exp'ected that several of the naval officers who are intimate friends of Ensign Saulley will come to Frankfort for the event. They will lend interest to the parties and receptions for the bridal party, as the Frankfort girls all like the men of the army and navy and are attracted by the military glitter.

Senor Rodriguez entered ngaln as his secretary passed on, and laid a lace handkerchief on the desk. Mr. Grimm stared at it curiously for a long time. "It's the same handkerchief?" "Si, Senor."

"No one has even an Intimation of tbo affair please keep tho matter absolutely to yourself until I return." That was all. The door opened and closed, and he was gone. At the end of an hour ho returned, passed on through to the diplomatist's prlvalo office, sat down in front of the locked safe again, and set the dial at thirty-six- . Senor Rodriguez looked on, astonished, as Mr. Grimm pressed the soft rubber sounder of n stethoscope against the safe door and began turning the dial back toward ten, slowly, slowly. Thirty-fivminutes later the lock clicked. Mr. Grimm rose, turned the handle, and pulled tho safe door open. "That's how It was done," he explained to tho amazed diplomatist.

"Good-morning.- There were two handkerchiefs they vvero Identical. "Which Is It, please?" she asked. If Mr. Grimm was disappointed there was not a trace of it on his face.

I shall Insist upon the return of tho money, and If It Is not forthcoming I dare say Count dl Roslnl, the Italian ambassador, would be pleased to give Ills' pergonal check rather than have the matter become public." She started to interrupt; but ho went on. "In any event you will be requested to leave the country." Then, and not until then, a decided change came over Miss Thome's face. A deeper color leaped to her cheeks, the smllo faded from her lips, and there was a flash of uneasiness in her eyes. "But If I am Innocent?" she protested. "You must prove it," continued Mr. Grimm mercilessly. "Personally, I am convinced, and Count dl Roslnl has piactlcally assured me that " "It's unjust!" sho Interrupted pas sionately. you It's "It's have proved nothing. It's unheard of! It's beyond !' Suddenly she became silent. A minute, two minutes, three minutes passed; Mr. Grlmni waited patiently. "Will you give me time and opportunity to prove my Innocence?" she demanded finally. "And If I do convince you ?" "I should be delighted to believe that I have made a mistake," Mr. Grimm assured her. "How much time? One day? Two days?" "I will let you know within an hour at your offlce," she told him. Mr. Grimm rose. "And meanwhile, In case of accident, I shall look to Count dl Roslnl for adjustment," he added pointedly. now " iit "But If I Am Innocent?" or lace in notti nanas, men openeu liem. lated it all to me horselr. "At last, In scie way a misplaced letter, perhaps, or a word overheard sho learned that fifty thousand dollars would bo In the legation bank overnight, and evidently she learned the precise night." She paused a moment "Here Is the address of a man In Baltimore, Thomas Q. Griswold," and she passed a card to Mr. Grimm, who sat "About four motionless, listening. yoars ago the combination on the legation safe was changed. This man was sent here to make the change, therefore some one besides Senor Rodrlguoz does know the combination. I have communicated with this man today, for I saw the possibility of just such a thing as Hi's instead of your stethoscope. By a trick and a forged letter this girl obtained the combination from this man." Mr. Grimm drew a long breath. "She Intended to take, perhaps, only what she desperately needed but at sight of It all do you see what must have been the temptation then? We get out here." There were many unanswered questions in Mr. Grimm's mind. He repressed them for the time, stepped out and assisted Miss Thorno to alight. The carriage had turned out of Pennsylvania Avenue, and at the moment ho didn't quite place himself. A narrow passageway opened before them evidently tho rear entrance to a house possibly In the next street. Mlsa Thorne led the way unhesitatingly, cautiously unlocked tho door, and together they entered a hall. Then there was a short flight of stairs, and they stepped Into a room, one of a suite. She closed the door and turned on the lights. "Tho bags of gold arc in tho next room," she said with the utmost composure. Mr. Grimm dragged them out of a dark closet, opened one there were ten and allowed the coins to dribble through his fingers. Finally he turned and stared at Miss Thorno, who, pallid and weary, stood looking on. "Where are we?" he asked. "What house Is this?" "Tho Venezuelan legation," she answered. "Wo are standing less than forty feet from the safe that was robbed. You see how easy !" "And whoso room?" inquired Mr. Grimm slowly. "Must I answer?" she asked appeal-lngly- . onicr luuu niM usual name ot mind. It was about five minutes of twelve o'clock high noon when he went out. When he didn't return immediately the stenographer began transcribing the letters. At one o'clock Monsieur Bolssegur still had not returned and his stenographer went to luncheon." As he talked, some inbred excitement seemed to be growing upon him, due, perhaps, to his recital of facts, and he paused at last to regain control of himself. Incidentally he wondered if Mr. Grimm was taking the slightest Interest In what he wns saying. Certainly there was nothing in his impassive face to indicate It. "Understand, Monsieur,'.' the secretary continued after a moment, "that I knew nothing whatever of all this until late that afternoon that is, Tuesday afternoon about five o'clock. I was engaged all day upon some important work in my office, nnd had. had no occasion to see Monsieur Bolssegur sluco a word or so when In at ten o'clock. My nttentipt was called to the affair finally by his stenographer, Monsieur Nettervllle. who came to me for Instructions. He had finished the letters nnd the ambassador had not returned to sign them. At this point I began an investigation, Monsieur, and the further I went the mbro uneasy I grew. "Now, Monsieur, there are only two entrances to the embassy tho front door, where a servant is in constant attendance from nine in the morning until ten at night, and the rear door, which can only be reached through the kitchen. Neither of tho two men. who had been stationed at the front door had seen the ambassador slnco breakfast, therefore he could not have gone out that way. Comprenez? It seemed ridiculous, Monsieur, but then I went to tho kitchen. The chef had been there all day, and he had not seen tho ambassador al all. I inquired further. No one.

Tentative plans are beintr discussed for a :ood roads convention at Pinevillc to which the surrounding counties over a wide stretch of territory are to be invited to send delegates. The jjoocl roads sentiment in Bell county is strouu and Pinevillc would be a yood place for the holding of such a meeting. Senator Joe Bosworth, the pioneer advocate of the State aid idea, lives at Middlesboro, only a few miles away, and the leading citizens both in Middlesboro and in Pinevillo are earnest and enthusiastic in their desire for better highways. A convention such as is proposed would give great impetus to the good roads movement in the mountains, and if made the starting point 3f a permanent organization covering the counties of Southeastern Kentucky, would be a continuing influence for improvement. The citizens of Pineville and Bell county are hospitable to a marked deuree, and those who attend the convention will be provided for in a way' to make them glad t1 ey accepted the invitation. Road improvement is one of the vital questions now before the people of Kentucky. It will continue to be a live issue until there is a systematic and general effort to lift the State out of the mud and put it on a plane with other progressive States which are dealing resolutely and intelligently with the highway problem. Pineville can do the rest of the State a service by working up a first-clas- s convention and pointing the wav fc-- similar meetings in other localities. Kentucky should be holding many gatherings of this kind. Good roads associations should be formed at the county seats and there shwuld be a general agitaard in the district school-housetion of the subject which will penetrate to every nook and corner in the State, however remote. Courier-Journa- l. We heartily endorse the idea of a Good Roads Convention, believ ing it will stimulate public interest in the subject and ultimately produce legislation that will relieve the present situation. Kentucky is fully half a century behind the times. The fault lies with the law and not the officers. The last grand jury of Montgomery county, composed of energetic and capablemen, with S. English Anderson as foreman, made a caroful investigation of the subject and reported to the r embodies the spirit of the author and possesses the faculty' of making his audience feel that spirit aiso.

Last season we were a little late in getting our wash suits for boys and children. Some folks ha gone to the trouble ' to make them. But in every instance where our suits were shown fc"- - court in part as follows: "We further find, upon investigation, that the amount realized for turnpike purposes by the present system of taxation is thoroughly inadequate for such purposes, and we recommend that some plan be devised, if possible, to authorize an increase of the amount to be used for turnpike purposes." The only way to accomplish this result is by exacting new laws. The next Legislature should give us this needed legislation and if the people show sufficient interest in it their demands will be heeded. Possibly the soldiers are being sent to Texas to quiet Senator Joe 13 ailcy. ington, candidate for the nomination. It was also claimed that Senator Bradley has lined up with Craig and it looked that way from the manner in which the Federal ofliceholders followed Craig's lead at the committee meeting.

LET hghest Prices PAID FOR Live Who but women when Judas betrayed, and Peter denied, and the weary slept, and the fearful lied could summon energy to linger around the spot, to mingle the tears of pity with the blood of suil'ering? Who but a woman, when man turned coward, and his trust iew faint, could stand until the last by the dying Saviour, and then go to trim the lamp of her devotion at the door of the sepulchre. A woman who is capable of fill ing her home in every sense of the word is worthy of more true applause than if she possessed many accomplishments. We ate often very much impressed by the woman who is doing a great and grand work for humanity, but the one who retains our respect is the true wife and mother, who presides over her home and children with a heart and head, demonstrating kindness and ability, which puts the blush on the public life. Let the oarents, the father as well as the mother, impress upon their young daughters, whether they are in the country school-hous- e or college, that the tiue woman's sphere is in the home, and the great business and educational worlds that have thrown wide open the doors for woman does not detract one iota from the importance of her sphere. Many a soldier who bravely stood at his post of duty for two or three years during the Civil War, is covered with badges. We would not take one from him, he merits them; but many an "or dinary" woman has stood at hei post of duty for thirty, forty and even half a century, fighting with sickness, poverty and discourag- ment, and with true Spartan courage kept the wolf from the door and saved the lives of a large family of children. The man who sayes one life receives a prize for bravery, his picture anpears in the metropolitan papers, and he wears a medal which says to the world he was brave. And he was. But the woman who has saved the lives of many is given no badge, and seldom ever a word of com- Selz Royal Blue shoe to fit all feet.
