During his last visit to this country
Robert Louis Stevenson escaped a very
unpleasant experience and never knew
it, according to a story told in Harper's
Weekly. A journalist, who knew Ste-
venson by his published portraits. en-
tered a railway car at Long Branch,
and saw the famous author seated in q
corner, with a black square box on the
opposite seat and a rubber tube dang
ling from it. The conductor knew the
journalist. and said to him. pointing to
Mr.. Stevenson:
"rm going to put that man with the
long hair off the train. He is smoking.
| asked him not to, but he's been at it
again while I've been out of the car"
He is not smoking" said the jour
n~slist; "that IS some device for carrying
medicine. in the form of a vapor, which
be inhales in his lungs. He is an in
valid. That is Robert Louis Stevenson,

The conductor seemed interested. but

His Health Was Too Poor to Permit
Attention to Business-A Great
Sufferer for Many Years, but
Has Now Recovered
Wrom The Springfield. Mass, UnionJ
There isn't n gun manufacturer in the
United States who does not know defer
son NJ, Clough, and whyi Because he
has been intimately associated all his life
with the development of the two best
American rifles. the Remington and Win
chester. Fol- years he was superintend-
ent of the II. Remington IL Sons great
factory at lion, n. Y. After leaving there
he refused a tempting offer of the Chinese
Government to go to China TO superintend
their Government factorics-and accept
ed instead the superintendency of the
Winchester-Arms Co., at New Haven, at
a salary of $500 a year.
IL was after this long term Of active
labor as n business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two years ago, and returned 10
Belchertown, Mass, where he now nves
and own the Phelps farm, a retired spot
where he has 800 acres Of land.
Being "a man of means he did not spare
the cost and was treated by leading ply
sicians and by baths Mt celebrated springs
without receiving any benefit worth no
tice. During the summer of 1923 and the
winter of 1894 Mr.. Clough was confined
TO his house in Belchertown, being unable
to rise from his bed without assistance,
and suffering continually with acute pains
and with no taste or desire for food, nor
was he able 10 obtain sufficient sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr.. ClouGh
heard of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. He began taking these pills
about the first Of March, 1894, and rom
tinued To do SO until the first part of Sep
TENDER following. The first effect no.
ticed was a better appetite, and he began
TO note more ability TO help himself of
the bed and 10 be better generally. Last
August 1S94) he was able 10 go alone to
his summer residence and farm of 16S
acres on Grenadier Island, among the
Thousand Islands. I'm the River st. Law
renee, where from the highest land Of his
farm he commands a view for thirteen
miles down the river, and sixty of the
Thousand Islands can be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed Mr..
Clough is now and has been for some time
able TO be about the farm to direct the
men employed there, and lac is thankful
for what DIR. Williams Pink Pills have
lone for him.
These pills are manufactured by the Or.
Williams Medicine Company, Science

bearing the firms trade mark and wrap
per, az 30 cents a box or six boxes for
$50, and are never sold in bulk. They
may be had of all druggists or direct by
