fore the reading world, any number
of people bobbed up as the originals OF
the characters describad I'm the book
There were several David HaIums,
John Lenox had number Of doubles
and 50 had Mary Blake and Aunt Polly
IL WAS insisted with great yOlubility
that the Simon pure original of David
Harum was David Hannum who was
well-known in Syracuse, ~ Y, but
Westcott before his death denied that
Harum was copied after amy one man
but was a composite creation. There
were people who. despite this, expected
that William H. Crane. in presenting
the dramatization of the book would
make up to look like David Hannum
The actor however, does nothing oil
the kind. He follows minutely the de
lscription OF the shrowd old chap as
given by Westcott. He shows Harun
as a man of medium size and incline,
TO stOutness. He has a shreWd, sharp
yet kindly eye and a mouth that Is in
ltensely expressive. His cloth cap re
moved and he is seen to be bald Will

And there's no way of telling what
The mind of man can do.

And drinking cowless milk,
And wearing clothes OF sheepless

The Easy Pin.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
gripe nor weaken the system. They cure
billiousness, iaundice, constipation and
inactive livers, by arousing the secre-
tons, moving the bowels gently, yet
effectually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands Of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause Of the
trouble is removed entirely. These IA
nous little pills exert a decided tonic
effect upon the organs involved, and il
their use is contained for few days
there will be no return Of the trouble.
