AUTHORS AND WRITERS.

Rider Haggard was feted recently at
the Authors' Club, London. In the
course of a response to a toast to his
health, proposed by Sir Walter Besant,
he said several things as to tbe profes
sion of authorship that are worth re
production.
141 hare been subjected to consider
able attacks in my time, 1 may Bay
very bitter attacks. For example.
gentlemen, I remember ■ literary man
writing to me, not merely accusing me
of being the instigator of the crimes
committed by another gentleman—
.lack the Kipper—but of actually per
petrating them. Criticism we expect;
but, why, if a man write.-, a novel more
, ,i- less successful, should he be accused
of the crimes attributed, perhaps false
ly, t» the Kipper? Another gentleman,
who did not go quite so far as that,,
stopped at plagiarism; everything I
have written he has found somewhere
else. 1 have no doubt that at this
stage of the world it is very easy to
find an original for everything. 1
thought that in She I had given the
world something fairly new—if old—
Imi not a bit. Do you remember a
writer called Homer? He had a lady
living in a cave that was the proto
type of She.
"If 1 had time I could say something
interesting, not about plagiarism; you, j
at! experts, know that this is all bosh;
but abmit literary coincidences. There
i- some faculty of the brain that exer
cises a mysterious foresight. 1 could
tell you some very odd things which
have happened to me in confidence.
Most of my humble efforts about the
dark continent 1 have invented at
Urge and freely all around. 1 am
astonished, almost dismayed, when I
find books of travel sustaining what I
have invented. In King Solomon's
Mines and Allan C^uartennaiu are
things which 1 evolved out of my tur
bul imagination which have been ven
ded since, why, I know not. 1 never
had the slightest conception that they
would be duplicated in fact. One in
stance will suffice. When 1 was going
to write Allan Quartermain I took the
map aud hit upon a spot then un
known. 1 located a mission station
there, had it attacked and all its oc
i apants killed. Three years later some
religious body went there and fixed a
mission, aud all its occupants were
killed —a most unpleasant "coincidence.
1 could give a dozen other instances of
the kind, but 1 must content myself
with this one: A year or two ago I
wrote a book of romance for boys.
The People of the Mist was its title.
In it 1 picked out a spot in Africa, and
made a land company take it vp —at
present I am the director of a com
pany which has taken up that actual
spot. From all the reports that I can
learn, brought down from natives, my
description was essentially accurate."
Sir Walter Besant left no doubt in
the minds of his hearers as to his own
opinion of Mr. Haggard. "I don't say
that the masses are always right, but
in the long run they always are. I
made inquiries at representative free
Libraries to find out who were the fa
vorite authors. They seem to be Scott,
Marryat and Dickens among the dead
authors. ISoott certainly first, and
Marryat, 1 think, before Dickens.
Among living authors our friend Rider
Haggard is unquestionably first. I
find two very remarkable qualities in
Mr. Haggard's novels—a power of
imagination, in which, for audacity
and strength, he is unequalled since
the Elizabethan dramatists. 1 have
been glancing through his books again
today, and 1 do not think this is too
strong a thing to say; secondly, there is
the mesmeric influence which he ex
ercises over readers."—Current Litera

Those Bicycle Costumes.
The men seem to be having al
most as much trouble over their bicy
cling costumes as the women. There
are hotels, it seems, that will not en- j
tertain men in knickerbockers, and
they are by no means as welcome in all
places in their bicycle clothes as with
trousers that flap about their ankles
and modish skirts. It is largely to
this consideration of clothes that the
far-seeing look for the preservation of
the horse and the continuauce of some
of the old-fashioned methods of con
veyance. If men could live and move
and transact their business in golf
stockings and knickerbockers, and
women in bloomers or short skirts, the
bicycle progress might be as sure as it
lias been swift. But as it is, the for
malities of life, such as they are, mili
tate gently but firmly against the bicy
cle, and though they are not. effectual
to hold it back, they make a
little for its restraint. — Harper's
Weekly.
Petrified Man Twenty Feet Long.
The petrified body of a man twenty
feet long was found on Thomas Bark
er's farm, near the Appanoose county
line, about twenty miles south of Al
bia recently. The discovery was made
while Mr. Barker was making excava
tions on his farm to sink a coal shaft.
The face is a perfect stone image of
a man, with the exception of a nose,
the end of which, fully as larg as one's
fist, had apparently been broken off by
the pick or shovel.
Mr. Barker and his two men set to
work to excavate the body. For two
hours they worked hard and had only
brought to light the head and shoudlers
of the giant. Some of the men were
sent to Centerville to summon assist
ance. The fingers were as large and
long as an ordinary man's arm and
could be traced very readily in the rock
in which they are embedded. The
hands are of enormous proportions and
the arms fully as large as one's body.

THE REMARKABLE VITALITY OF j
AN AGED CALIFORNIAN.
Stand* Today Unscathed by I>iseas«--|
How He Conquered Rheumatism—
A Story Full of Interest.
I
From the Examiner, Bui Francisco, <"«!.]
There is at least oiie happy man in |
San Francisco today—one mau who
can enjoy, despite the fact of his being j
sixty years of age and of corpulent
build, the full and free use of all the
powers of mind and body.
James Keenan is a prominent liquor j
dealer at 250 Brannan street, and it is
he who is now lauding those who have j
restored him from a bed of pain to his
former youthful activity. Mr. Keenan
had, to within a year ago, been blessed j
j with the enjoyment of alomst perfect |
health
It was a year ago that Mr. Keenan
first suffered the hand of disease to ;
take hold upon him. At that time he j
was stricken down by an aggravated j
attack of rheumatism, which robbed j
him of the use of his lower limbs and j
of both his hands. For fully six weeks !
he lay on his couch, a helpless victim j
of the dread disease, and all the time i
he suffered intense pain in the affected
portions of his body. He could not i
move himself upon his bed, and all
i that he ate had to be fed to him by
those in attendance. He had about I
despaired of ever gaining release from |
the clutches of the frightful disease,
when one morning his attention was
drawn to an advertisement in a morn- j
ing paper, of a remedy for rheuma-1
tism. The story of what succeeded i
this casual glance at a medicine adver- j
tisement can best be told in the words
of Mr. Keenan himself, who, when
asked for an explanation of his seem
ingly miraculous cure, gave the fol
lowing account:
"It seemed to me that after all the
weeks of terrible suffering that I had |
endured that there could not possibly
be a relief. 1 had no faith in patent
medicines, and when I saw in a paper
the advertisement of Williams' Pink
Pills I was induced to try them only
in sheer desperation. I did not feel
any relief until I began taking the sec
ond box of the pill?, but then the pain
began gradually to leave me, my appe
tite became better, and I could sleep
soundly throughout the night without
experiencing any of the jerking pains
that had before kept me awake. 1 con
tinued to take the pills and it was only
a short time until the rheumatism had
entirely left my hands, and I had so
Jar recovered the use of my legs as to
be able to walk about the house with
out assistance. In about two weeks
more 1 was entirely free from the dis
ease, but 1 took two more boxes of the
pills as a precaution against a return
of the rheumatism. From the time
that the last trace of the disease left
me I had not felt the least sign of its
return, and I can truthfully say that
I now enjoy the free use of my limbs
as ever I did before the rheumatism at
tacked me.
"I have taken the pains to recom
mend Williams' Pink Pills to a num-
I ber of my friends who are suffering
from rheumatism. 1 think I know of
no other remedy that will afford such j
quick and permanent relief from rheu
matism as do Williams' Pink Pills,
and 1 only hope that many others may
be brought to see and feel the high cura
tive powers that the pills possess.''
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in j
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness I
to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are also a specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such as j
j suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallow cheeks. In men they j
effect a radical cure in all cases arising J
from mental worry, overwork or ex
cesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills
I are sold in boxes (never in k loose bulk)
! at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50,
and may be had of all druggists, or

GRIEVANCE OF A SUBURBANITE.
He Quickly Resented the Imputation That
He Was Lazy.
"I'm a pretty easy going kind of a fel
low," he said as he poked his head in
to an Illinois Cential suburban ticket
office window, "but it seems to me
you're sort of rubbing it in. "
"What's the matter?" asked the ticket
seller.
. "Oh, I suppose I ought not to com
plain, but I always get the worst of it
everywhere, and I thought maybe I could
get this one matter fixed just for a
change."
"I think the company is anxious to
tlo anything it can to please its patrons,"
said the agent. '' What is your trouble?''
"Well, you see, I am an inveterate
smoker."
"Yes."
"And out where I live the entrance to
the station is at the south end of the
platform. "
"Yes."
i "It's the same way at Randolph
street."
"Yes."
"And yon put the smoking car at the
north end of each train, no matter which
way it is running. "
"Well, what of it?"
"What of it! Can't you see that I
. have to walk the whole length of the
' train to reach the smoker and the whole
length back • again when I get down
| town. It isn't fair. I ought to get the
. best of it at least at one end of the line.
You can't change it? Well, then, would
' you advise me to move or give up smok
[ ing
"Smoking."
"Well, I don't know. If it wasn't for
the work, I'd move. By the way, you
! don't think I'm lazy, do you? Of course
* not I'm only justifiably indignant over
an adverse fate." ;■

TO MIDIA.
In that dear country which men call.
With Sromberplira.se, "your pretty face,"
There is no spring, there is no fall.
And bitinjr winter finds no place.
One light, one warmth, one tender air.
One endless summer harbors there.
In that dear country, side by side.
There be two placid lakes that sleep,
'Twere worth a kingdom to divide
Each cay, unfathomable deep.
And daring all things to possess
The secrets of your soul's recess.
In other lands 'tis pas>int: sweet
To watch the whispering western wind
Go ruffling all the whitened wheat
Nor leave the tiniest track behind.
To see the wanton wavelets rear
Their crests along the grassy mere.
So does the zephyr of your smile
Lead on its fairy footed dance
From end to end of that dear isle
And dimples all the fair expanse.
And stoops its course and floats and flies
In ripples o'er your laughing eyes.
-Pall Mall Budget
A CHANGED CRITIC.
Mr. Aubrey Everdene looked out
upon Sackville street and yawned. Only i
an instant before he had written "finis" i
to a magazine article with a dash of the j
pen across the last sheet, and now the ;
MSS. lay ready for the post among the
debris of printer's proofs, new novels
awaiting review, etc., with which the
writing table was strewed.
One of the best known litterateurs in
London and a brilliant conversation- \
ist, his tongue could be as scathing as j
his pen, and it was said of him, with
, regard to the latter weapon of warfare,
that in half a dozen polished sentences
I he could do more toward damning a i
! book than any two of his compeers. A i
big, loosely made man was Mr. Everdene, i
with shrewd gray eyes and the pessim
| ism of a modern. Studying his face as j
he lounged by the window, his hands in j
the pockets of his smoking jacket, one j
! could see that he had a lively sense of i
humor combined with his other charac- j
teristics and understood the interest his
I personality aroused.
I Presently a servant brought him a
visiting card on a salver.
"The lady would be obliged if you
! would grant her an interview, sir."
i "Lady Hilyard, " muttered Everdene,
I reading the inscription. "I can't recall
the name. Bother the woman! What
does she want? However, ask her to
come up, Blake."
When she entered, a fair, elegant
woman of perhaps 25, in an irreproach
able Parisian toilet, he was still more
convinced that he had not the privilege
j of her acquaintance.
"Mr. Aubrey Everdene?" she queried.
Mr. Everdene bowed.
"Pray take a seat, madame. "
"No," she said. "I have come to
quarrel with you, and I don't sit down
in the houses of my enemies!"
' 'To quarrel with me!" His eyebrows
went up. The thought came to him that
his visitor was not in her right mind.
"Yes. Perhaps I had better explain
myself at once. I am the author of
'Fashion and Footlights.' "
Mr. Everdene, standing perforce be
cause she would, pulled his mustache,
while the fair stranger tapped her No.
8 shoe on the carpet with impatience
: and looked pitchforks and daggers.
" 'Fashion and Footlights,' " he re
flected aloud. " 'Fashion and Foot
lights.' Ha!"
Comprehension stole over his face and
with it a slight amusement. He fished
among a pile of volumes and brought
out three bound with an elegance des
tined to win the hearts of suburban cir
culating libraries.
"Here it is. Reviewed it in The Cen
turion, didn't I?"
"No," she said, "you hanged and
quartered it!"
"I am sorry. May I ask how you
found out that I was the culprit?"
"Oh, by accident. It's a long story
I and unimportant, since you don't deny
the imputation. Now, Mr. Everdene, I
know it is very impertinent of me, a
stranger, to come to your private ad
: dress and worry you. lam doing a very
unusual thing, I am afraid, and Mrs.
Grundy would be horrified. But 'fools
i rush in, you know, and widows are
privileged. You must have a little pa-
I tience with me because"—for the first
! time her lips relaxed, and she smiled a
i smile that was sweetness itself—"well,
just because I'm a woman and you're a
gentleman. Acknowledge the truth,
' now, on your honor. Don't you think
I you were unnecessarily harsh to my
| poor little literary effort?"
"No," he said bluntly; "I always
j give my true opinion of things, and I
consider your book had many faults. "
If she had been a man, he would have
j said, "I thought it was bad, " with
! the brusqueness of conviction and prob
j ably declined to discuss the matter, but
| to a lady it was impossible to be rude.
i He regarded her absurdly unconvention
! al presence with a tolerant kindness.
"Of course, I admit that there are
faults, but upon one or two points in
; your criticism I cannot agree with you.
j I should very much like to discuss them
I with you. May I?"
"Certainly. " His mouth was twitch
i ing under his heavy mustache. "But
' don't you think, pending the verdict,
j that you had better sit down? You will
be fatigued. If you'll permit me to
j wheel this armchair nearer the fire for
• yon—so!"
Having carefully arranged it so that
I she should face the light, he seated him
, self opposite herthe A. B. C. of di
plomacy, but she did not appear to no
■ tice it. She was drawing arabesques on
i the carpet with the point of her ivory
handled umbrella.
"I should very much like to know,"
'. she said, "what you think of my com
ing here?"
"1 think you are pluckyyes, and
recklessly unconventional."
"Candid, at any rate! And I like
that." She looked up. "Now for the
first iudictment on the list, Mr. Ever
-1 dene. Yon accuse me of improbability.
I deny it."
His manner bordered on preoccupa
tion. In truth, he was thinking what
wonderful lashes she had, and how be
coming a flush of excitement could be
! to a clear, pale skin.
"You assert," she continued warmly,
"that it is ridiculous to suppose that a
man and woman of the world could fall
in love at first sight, as I make my hero
and heroine do, and that such proceed
ings are limited to boys and girls in
their teens and the pages of penny fic
tion. I should have thought that Mr.
Aubrey Everdene would have shown
wider sympathies."
"Then you really believe, Lady Hil
i
I yard, that adult, sensible people con
ceive such abrupt attachments?"
"I am convinced that it happens fre
quently. "
"G'j, com*. *ot frequently?"
"Well, sometimes," she amended. "I
oould give you a dozen instances."
He lacked the heart to argue with;
her. It would have been like breaking i
a butterfly on a wheel. And, after all, j
then' might be more sentiment in fin
de siecle humanity than he thought.
Women have wonderful intuition in
these matters.
"Well, suppose we let that slide for
the moment and proceed to indictment
No. 2. What other phrase of mine do
you take exception to?"
"You said that I had not the remotest
idea of construction, and that 'Fashion
and Footlights' was evidently a speci
men of that objectionable class of fiction
which yon regretted to see was growing
so prevalent —the amateur novel, born
of vanity and a lack of wholesome oc
cupation. "
Her voice died away with a tremor.
He had only stated the truth, but that
fact did not prevent the speechless Mr.
Everdene fi-nn feeling as if he had com
mitted a particularly brutal murder
and the ghost of the victim had come
to arraign him before all the people
whose opinions he valued most.
"I—l cried, " she murmured pathetic
ally.
Her lips quivered. Beads of perspira
tion rose to the man's forehead.
"Good heaven?, if I had only guessed
how much I should hurt j~ou! It was
harsh, monstrous. No doubt I was in a
bad temper, and your unfortunate book
was the first thing that afforded me an
opportunity to vent my spleen. "
Lady Hilyard applied six square
inches of cambric and lace to the corner
of an eyelid.
"If you'll only believe me, my dear
Lady Hilyard, when I tell you that I'm
sorrier than I can say.''
"Then you acknowledge that you
were needlessly cruel?"
"I was brutal. " He would have com
mitted blacker perjury as she wiped
that tear away.
"And that I had just cause for indig
nation?"
"You were perfectly right. "
A smile broke like April sunshine
over her face.
"In that case, I suppose I must for
give you.''
He was ridiculously grateful. He
heaved a sigh of relief and hesitated,
with his hand on the button of the elec
tric bell
"Lady Hilyard, you know the Arab
custom of taking salt with one's friends?
As a token of good will permit me to
give you the prosaic English equivalent
of a cup of tea.''
The offer was tempting, the room was
hot, and she had talked a great deal.
She yielded—and more. When the re
freshments came, accompanied by won
; derful sweetmeats from Bond street
round the corner, she asked permission
i to ponr it out for him with a winning
graeiousness which charmed him. It
afforded him an odd sense of pleasure,
too, to see her white fingers moving
about the china. He was unaccustomed
i to the presence of women in his home.
With the Japanese table between
them, them chatted for awhile, and
then the clock on the mantelpiece struck
G. She rose, with a pretty gesture of
dismay, like a second Cinderella. "Do
yon know, Mr. Everdene, that I have
been a whole hour wasting your valua
: ble time?"
"I thought it had been 10 minutes,"
he answered, "and the pleasantest time
I of my life. "
"Very pretty!" she said, blushing
faintly. "And, in return for it, let me
; tell you my address is on my card, and
that my 'day' is Thursday. Also I most
thank you verj* heartily for your kind
ness and courtesy to an impertinent in
trader. Very few men would have been
so considerate.''
"Please don't thank me. It is I who
owe you a debt of gratitude. You have
taught me something I never expected
i to learn.''
"What?"
"That the conduct of your hero and
I heroine was not improbable at all. "
Their eyes met. The woman's dropped,
> self conscious, pleased.
"You really mean that?"
"On my soul, I do. "
The most delicious softness was in
her voice:
"It makes me so proud and happy tr
| think 1 have convinced you. "
There was a silence. She smoothed a
wrinkle in her snecle glove. He twisted
! a button on his coat. Then she aroused
' beneli, with a little laugh, and extended
I her hand.
"Well, goodby, Mr. Everdene, and
j once more, thank you."
He pressed her lingers ever so lightly
—her proselyte.
"Not 'goodby,' "he nvurmured. "An
revoir. " —Black and White.
■——
She Pleased the O,ueen.
It is said that Miss Majendie, who
has just received the much coveted po
Bition of maid of honor to Queen Vie
toria, owed her good luck to a mere
freak of magnetic attraction. The queen
saw her for the first time when she
came to sing at the little Sunday serv
ice arranged by Princess Beatrice at th 6
Villa Fabbricotti and was particularly
[ struck by her pleasant face and sweet
! voice. It was with the utmost surprise
; that the court circle as well as the
| young lady herself learned of the hon
! or designed for her.
Not Quite Right.
No man is a hero to his valet, and
perhaps no poet to his baker. He lives
in Putney, and almost every day he
walks a few miles to Wimbledon and
j goes to a cakeshop there, where he buys
! takes to give to a little group of poor
children, who have learned to look for
i ward to this frequent treat. Some one
who knew the poet by sight said to the
shopkeeper, "Do you know who this
gentleman who buys so many cakes of
1 you is?"
"Oh, he's a poor gentleman who isn't
quite right in his head. He's always
i buying cakes for the children. " —Chap

AgujardiV Voice.
Agnjari, better known as La Bas
tardella, had an incredibly high range
of voice. Mozart heard her in 1770 and
expressed the greatest delight. She sang
B in altissimo with perfect ease and
performed cadenzas deemed impossible
for the human voice. During a great
part of her professional career she re
ceived about $500 a night, a stun then
equal to about $2,500 in the money of
our time.

A Queenly Service.
An attache of the Netherland legation
recently persisted in keeping a crowing
cock under the bedroom window of a
I ■eighbor, and all the power of English
law was brought to bear in vain to se
cure an abatement of the nuisance. The

The tortured man explained in court
Monday how he finally triumphed. He
could not have lived if the nuisance had

wrote to the queen of the Netherlands.
The gracious young lady did not reply
by letter, but the offending .cock was
immediately taken away. In that way
he accomplished what the whole law of

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CUKED
By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused ;by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining ot the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
i by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case ot Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
