A starting incident. of which Mr..
John Oliver of Philadelphia was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:

My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en-, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite-gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fort

good deal of thinking Among Other

is that country girls with literary tai

They are possessed with the idea that
I'm the city they will find the proper
t'atmosphere." On the other hand, the
tracked nerves of city writers crave the
quiet and rest of the country, and they
rush there at the first opportunity.
Which was the best atmosphere for

think the best thing for them is to stay

They have lived in stuffy hall bed

been utterly without society and have
realized only too fully the selfishness Of
q large city. l have received most
heartrending letters from such girls.
Genius? Why, it isn't matter of en-
yironment; it is Unborn. New writers
are springing up everywhere-in the
south, the extreme east, the west.
They are full of vigor, strength and
individuality. They write about the
things around them, the things nearest

The Poker CHAMPIONSHIP,

TSenty-one poker players have been

without break for one hundred and
fifty hours. OF course, no one OF the

long. But it is soberly recorded that

three days except for nap of two
