Two Circus Men.

About a dozen years ago during a summer season two eircuses visited Ca naan. One was Walter l.. Mains and the other was Charles Lees. The shows that summer were of about equal merit. They have both been here since, but neither recently.
 The last we heard of Main was last week when after becoming independ- ently rich. and he and wife being in poor health, he sold his-the third lar gest circus in America-to representa- tives of other different circuses, includ- ing Barnum's, RinRlipg's and Sells Bros. Main was country lad without capital and fifteen years ago started 8 tent show with eight horses. He now retires with fortune.
 The last we heard of Lee was about g year and half ago when his show had 'busted" and all he had left was his wife's house at Canton, Pa, and Mrs Lee and her trained dogs were touring the country with variety show run by Billy Clifton, the former stilt-walkine clown of "Charles Lees Mammoth One Ring Circus" We wish to hear of bet. ter luck to Charles Lee the next tim we hear of hlm. He paid his debts as long AS he had dollar, but season oi several rainy weeks "broke" him.

HUNTING FOR NEW WRITERS,

A Magazine Finds but 80 Worthy
 ManuscrIpts out of 5000 Read in a
 Year
 Eight thousand manuscripts were re- ceived by The Ladies' Home Journal during the year just closed Elch was given careful reading. but out of the entire number only eighty were found worthy of publication. The Manuscript Blieau of The Ladies' Heme Journal is operated at 0 large ,xpense, but the hope of discovering new writers or some aspirants with undeveloped talent war rants the outlay. It can be seen that the articles secured by such careful winnowing process brings the cost of each up to and above the remuneration paid our best writers.
 These facts bring refutation to the oft repeated but none the less erroneous assertion that only well known writers of established literary reputation are able to find place for their work in the magazines Exactly the contrary is true. The Ladies' Home Journal through the manuscripts COT sidered, has discovered three or four new writers o excellent merit and great promise, apo this ''fud" its editor regards as full, warranting the large outlay of mair tain ing an expensive bureau for reading al the manuscripts submitted.

passes, in curative power over this fatal
malady, all other medicines with which
they are acquainted. Nasty cod-liver oil
had been tried in nearly all these cases
and had either utterly failed to benefit,
or had only seemed to benefit little for
Il short time.
