ROOK CAUSED THE WAR.
Famous Author Gives His Reasons for
Denouncing Uncle Toms Cabin.

CLEVELAND, Feb. l4.-F. aopkin.
son Smith. the well-kuown author and
lecturer, recently declared that Mrs.
Stoves famous book, Uncle Toms
Cabin, was vicious ard harmful in H.
effect upon its readers. In an Interview
yesterday in this city Mr.. Smith r.
peated his statement and gives the
following as his reasons:
Because 1t paints an absurd false
picture Of the conditions OF the South
before the war. The book would have
US believe that The Southern people
were brutes who tracked slaves with
bloOdhounds and flayed their negroes
with the lash. 1t is a book which
divides our country into halves and
paints the people Of the North side Of
the dividing line as angels and those
on the south side as brutes and mis-
creants. A book. like that is harm
full.
Il not only believe that the book did
much TO bring on the civ war, but
believe it is doing much to keep open
the breach between the North and the
South. think it is wrong hat our
young people should read and vener-
ale that book as a true picture OF
American life south Of the Mason ard
Dixon line. The performance of the
play as adopted from the book is Just
as harmful.
THE book Uncle Toms Cabin pre-
cipitated the war Of the rebellion. John
Browns raid made II inevitable"

History that will live In ages

During the last few days OF tn
month many poor sufferers were tur
ned away, not being able tn gain ad
mittance, on account OF the larg'
crowds that gathered at DR. Morrow
Office, 3 South Main ST., Barre. Vt.
During the month Of September
l441 patients treated for all phases OF
diseas e, on a positive guarantee thai
If they were dissatisfied on Oct. 28th
their money would be returned tt
them, and that ou5 OF that number
not u single one returned for theil
money back; and it should be remem
bered that the class Of patients treat
ed by this physician have been doctor
ing for years with other physicians,
without obtaining any relief and c
think that 1871 poor sufferers should
be so quickly cured by the new system
of treatment. 1t seems almost incred.
ible, nevertheless it is an absolute
fact that they do cure after all others
fail. During the list few days OF
September many patients said, "Why
D .ctor, | did not really believe when
| came to you that | could be SO quick
]y cured, and to thl1k that you are
willing to return our money if we are
dissatisfied, is somethin. no Other
doctors ever would do"
Owing to the many who were un.
able to gain admittance during the
last few days of the month, on ac-
count Of the crowds. the doctor will
continue to- treat for a short me on.

This game can onlJ be played in the
dusk of evening wnen all the sur
rounding objects are lost in the deep
ing gloom. The players divide into two
parties and toss up for innings, which
being gained the winners start off to
hide themselves or get so far away
that the others cannot see them, the
losers remaining at home. One of the
hiding party is provided with flint
and steel, which as soon as they are all
ready he strikes together. The sparks
emitted guide the seekers as to the di-
rection they must proceed in, and they
must endeavor to capture the others
ere they reach home. If they cannot
touch more than two of the boys, the
hiders resume their innings, and the
game continues as before. 1t is most
usual, however, for the boys at home to
call out, Jack, Jack, show a light"
before the possessor of the flint and
steel does so. When one party is cap
tured, the flint and steel must be given
up to the captors that they may carry
on the game as before.
