Chicago, Ill, May Is, 1897.
Mrs. Beatrice Marcan,
Ocdl0, Florida:
DEAR Mrs. MAREAN:-Reply-
ing to your esteemed favor of the
10th inst, we must beg your in
dulgence for the delayed appear
ance of "The Sign of the Cross :"
The plain truth is that trade is
now in 50 hopeless d condition
that we have not the heart to
bring out Il good book. We
thought trade was slow last year
and must soon improve, but SO
far this year it has steadily
grown worse, SO that after max
ing cut of % per cent. in our
prices we are not doing more
than half the business we were
doing last year. II any authors
works would find u sale yours
would but there is positively no
sale for books of any character.
We can see no way, dear
madam, except to wait patiently
until there are some signs Of bet
ter trade and then bring your
new book out. Things are now
SO bad that we believe the bottom
has been reached, and that there
will be demand for books in the
near future, When this time
comes rest assured that your un-
published work now in our hands
and any other work from your
gifted pen with which you may
favor us shall be placed imme-
diately upon the market.
With kindest regards and ex-
pressing the hope that this una
vOidable delay may not cause you
to lose courage in your literary
work we remain
Very truly yours.

SELECT SCHOOL CLOSES.
The Pupils of Miss COhen's School
Have q Big Time i'm the Woods ON
Saturday.-TwO Members ON
The Honor Roll.

The Honor Roll.
Miss Cohen's school for the
winter term closed last Friday.
In place of their annual literary
and musical entertainment the
school had most enjoyable pic
mic out in DR.. Moody's hammock
on Saturday, May %. The
weather was perfect, and the pu-
pills played games, swung in the
grapevine swings and roamed
about in the dense shade of the
thick hammock until a late hour,
expressing themselves as sorry to
leave the beautiful spot where
they had spent such a delightful
day.
The examinations of the school
were passed remarkably well this
term, two of the pupils distin-
gushing themselves SO much as
to be placed on the 1sRoll of
Honor To be on the .sRoll of
Honor the pupils are required to
make at least 90 in every exami-
nation, the maximum being 100,
and not to fall below 61 in their
studies on the monthly reports,
the maximum being Z, and they
must have no demerits during
the entire term. The two who
have come up to this high STAN
dard are Donald Ford and Clara
Gray; Donald having made the
maximum 100 in every examina-
tion. He has been a very stu
dious and painstaking pupil dur
ing the entire term. The three
'.honorably mentioned are
Edith and Bessie Wilson and
Eloise Miller.
The musical department have
also improved their time well
and made rapid progress, Bessie
and Edith Wilson having made
the greatest progress during the
term.

The dyspeptic carries a dread
full load on his back. 1t seems as
if he were really made up of two
men. One of them ambitious,
brainy and energetic; the other
sick, istless, peevish and without
force. The weak man weighs the
other one down. The dyspeptic
may be able to do pretty good
work one day, and the next day
because of some little indiscretion
in eating, he may be able to do
nothing at all. Most cases of
dyspepsia start with constipation.
Constipation is the cause of nine
tenths of all human sickness.
Some of it's symptoms are sick
and bilious headache, dizziness,
sour stomach, loss of appetite,
foul breath, windy belchings,
heartburn, pain and distress af-
ter eating. All these are indica-
tive of arrangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels, and all are
caused by constipation. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
quickest, easiest and most certain
cure for this condition. They are
not violent in action.
