A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM THAT is COM

His Wifes Enthusiasm.

There Is one remedy that will cure

ment Is found In the experience of Mr..
r. s. Wagar No. Y Academy street,
Watertown, N. Y. lie says:
The pain was in my joints and my
suffering for over two years was beyond
description. There was an intense pain
In my shoulders that prevented me
from sleeping and l would get up and
walk the floor at night, When / began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills the inn
porvement was gradual but after ! had
taken four boxes / was entirely cured
and | have not had the slightest touch
OF rheumatism since that time"
Mr.. Wagars wife is also enthusiastic
In her endorsement OF DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. She says: 81 have tried the
pills myself for stomach trouble and
have experienced great relief from their
use. My daughter, Mrs. Atwood, Of
GIL street. WATERFOWL, has used them
for female weakness and was much
benefited by them. / regard DIR, VIII

A curious romance attended the pro-
ductiOn of Julia NJ. Crottle-s book,
The Lost Land" When written, the
authoress showed IL TO Il lady friend,
who took II away with her to read,
and without Miss Crottie's consent
sent II for inspection to publisher,
She, however, neglected To- inclose
with II either her own address or that
Of the writer with the result that tina
precious manuscript. the result of
many long months of wearying and
conscientious toll, was lost.
Nothing daunted, Miss Crottie set to
work again and wrote the book from
the beginning 1t was then sent to the
editor of London magazine this time
with name and address carefully
stamped on every page Notwith-
standing, 1t was again lost. and no
trace OF IL could be discovered
The second disappointment must
have been a bitter one. But the fair
authoress bore up under II, wrote the
book over again and once more, and in
the end, as every one knows. II got
printed and proved a big success.
Not often Of course does a publisher
knowingly refuse TO undertake the pub
lication of the work of living royal
parsonage. Yet 1t has happened once
at all events the circumstances being
as follows
King Louis Of Portugal spent twenty
FIVE years Of his life In translating
Shakespeare into his (the kings) native
tongue Then, when he had finished,
he sent II to a leading London house to
be brought out, preferring, so he said
that IL should first See the light In
Shakespearc's own country.
The firm first approached, however
would have nothing to do with the ven-
ture. Nor would the next, nor the
next. The conditions were too oner-
Gus. And in the end the disappointed
and disguised monarch had the manu-
script returned to Lisbon, and IL was
there printed and published by a Portu-
guese firm at his maIesty's own risk.
1t is a fact not generally known that
there was once In existence a lengthy
and complete novel by the late Duke OF
Clarence. That II was never beheld
by the great reading public-who would
certainly have welcomed 1t with avidIty
was due to the perhaps excusable lg-
norance OF the head OF the one and only
publishing house TO which Il was sub
mitted.
His royal highness. anxious that the
book, so far as the public was con-
oerned, should stand upon its meriss
affixed TO the title page the pseudonym
OF Mixes" This he had previously
used for some short stories which had
appeared In a defunct periodical en-
titled Ageia, and he probably thought
