However deplorable the fact may fee, playing two-handed pinochle at 25 cents a Hand is one of the favorite diversions of commuters between this city, New York, Atlantic City, Cape May and other commercial outports of Philadelphia. One man. who carries his pleasure as well as his worries home from work, was playing pinochle in his library the other evening with a crony, when the butler entered and handed hint a telegram. He returned it unopened. “I’ll look at it later.” “But the messenger is waiting, sir,” the butler respectfully remonstrated. The financier read the telegram. It said: “Struck 8.000-barrel gusher to day. Everything fine.” “Confound you, Thomas, why did you spoil my game?” he cried. He didn’t care nearly so much about the fortune he had made, as about the 25 cents he was in danger of losing.— Philadelphia Public Ledger. Works Both Ways.

It wasn’t bad, and I told him so. “‘I like the thing,’ I said. ‘lt’s realistic.’ “The short story writer beamed. “ ‘Realistic,’ he cried. ‘That’s the word I want to hear. And how much, Mr. Matthews, do you think It will realize?’ ” The Bitter Truth. Joseph Hergesheimer, who enjoys an even greater literary reputation In England than at home, dined re cently with a friend at a New York restaurant. The novelist was condemning the prevalent commercial spirit in liter ature and said: “In true art money should neve/ be an object.” At this point in the conversation the waiter brought in his exorbitant bill and Mr. Hergesheimer, scanning the document, sighed and remarked: “It is true that in art money should be no object, but it should be no ob jection, either, in these times.” THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. POWERS IS GIVEN TERM OF 5 YEARS MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT UNDER LAW GIVEN TO ALLEGED SWINDLER STATE NEWSJF INTEREST Brief News Items Gathered Here and There From All Sections Os The State Atlanta.—When the jurors, who for two days had been trying Abe Pow ers on a charge of having swindled ! two wealthy farmers out of ten thou j sand dollars by means of a wire i tapping scheme, entered the superior j court room of Fulton county and an j nounced that they were ready to re turn a verdict, Powers proved his prowess as a prophet. Turning to the press table, he rais ed his hand and showed five extend ed fingers. When he did so he smil ed, though the smile was sickly. The next moment displayed his accuracy. The solicitor general read the verdict. It was that the jury had found him ggilty and that his maximum punish ment was five years, his minimum punishment was the same thing and then Powers closed his five fin gers. Still trying to smile and still chew ing gum, with a feverish energy that betrayed his emotion, he stood to re ceive his sentence. That delivered, he returned to prison and to his wife, still held in the tower o nsuspicion of being implicated with the alleged wire tappers. His counsel, Sam Hewlett and John McClelland, immediately announced that they would appeal the case on tile ground that the conviction had been on a charge of larceny after trust and that there had been no trust. In their arguments both ad mitted that there had probably been a simple larceny. The jury was then discharged. "I hope you'll find your families all well after your long absence,” said Judge Humphries. As the jurors filed out of the court room H. C. Holley, one of the alleged victims, stood at the door and thanked each man individ ually. Wade Lamar, the other man said to have been fleeced, was not in the room when the verdict was renedred. It took the jury less than a half hour to reach its conclusions. Dur ing that time Powers sat at a table immediately in front of the bench and talked glibly and volubly with cousnel, reporters, spectators or any body else that gathered within ear shot. He was palpably nervous. Sells Wife’s Farm And Leaves Abbeville.—Robert G.
