appeared in the Scots Observer bril- hant lampoon, in which Mir. Barrie was represented as attending public dinner, keeping every one in roars of laughter with his unceasing stream of wit and epigram and finally ending up oy making the speech of the evening. When a certain literary friend of Mr. Barrie's saw this wickedly clever piece or satire his indignation knew no bounds, and he rushed into print, de manding by all the outraged gods that the author of this infamous article should straightway disclose himself and be dealt with accordingly. But. alas for the well meaning friend, the author was none other than Mir. Bar rie himself.

 ical as in the literary profession. Lit erature was his choice when a young man, but on the advice of littera- teur he dropped letters for materia medica. Later when he became a pathologist of renown, he considered his own case and advised Dr. Mitchell to become Novelist Mitchell. The re- suit is novelist-physician recognized everywhere that the science of medi- cine is worthy of the term, while the physician-novelist has reputation wher- ever the American novel can hope for place. He now has not only eighteen novels to his credit, but several books of poems, short stories without num- Der and over 100 works on scientific and professional topics besides.
 Speaking of the writing of novels, Dr. Mitchell once said, "Every novel should be laid aside after it is written for two years, until some of the de tails have escaped the authors mem ory; then it can be reconsidered.'

SUMMER SUGGESTIONS
Valuable Aids for the Summer
Home.

just about this time of the year,
everyone commences dreading the hot
days to come.
1t seems that society Is at a stand
still--no parties, dances, musicales,
etc.
Last summer Brown got to think
ing the summer question over
thoroughly. He could not afford 10
go to a summer resort. What could
be done to make the long summer
days and evenings bearable?
At last he hit upon scheme.
Eilers Piano House sold the Victor
Talking Machine, made in different
sizes, costing from $40 to $500. He
was a little short; but noticed that
he did not need to pay all cash but
could enjoy it while paying for it.
So he ordered one and a nice lot of
reoords-some old home songs ever
sweet like Annie Laurie, Old Ken
lucky Home, also some comic reoita-
tions and coon songs, then some of
Sousa's Band selections. This is
how Brown solved the summer ques.
tion.
You can do the same, we will tell
you all about it and send you cat
alogue Of machines, also one of rec
ords, showing how many thousand
pieces you may hear at home. Write
to Eilers Piano House, Spokane,
Wash, and say you read this Piano
and Organ bargains for a few days.
