that must look to some other source for

In 1889 wrote my first book, a novel entitled
"A Man OF Mark l wrote II pretty quickly,
although had no experience in writing and
without feeling any particular effort. AS

at my own expense and published II on COM

writing short stories, which I sent round to
the magazines. Almost all Of them came

says Hope. He does not listen when in
society, he has no hook in his hand, and no
basket on his back. He goes to his head
for his repartee, to his imagination for his
plots He moves largely In London society,
but he closes rather than opens his ears.
The people whom he invites us to listen to
are people that might be but are not. They
are the own creations of his genius, people
whom one would dearly love to meet in a
drawling and vacuous society of bores.

Encouraged by his success, Anthony Hope
gave up the bar in the spring of 1894. and de-
cided to devote the future entirely to
literature. He is hard and a regular

fixed task to be performed each day, but
work rather by time, and take what heaven

never rewrte, l revise carefully, and am

He does not read greatly. 'I have so little
time for reading. When l can read prefer
novels, and my favorite authors are Meredith
Kipling and Stevenson. I am also very fond
of Norris work.
His pleasure in sports remains. 81 have

to shape his life. 'In that year / was

THERE Is more Catarrh in this Sec.
ton OF the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years, WAS supposed to be incura-
BILE. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t q local disease, and pre-
scribed local rem edies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced 1t incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure in the market. 1t is taken in ter.
nally in doses from 10 drops to tea

and mucous surfaces of the system.
