Literary Notes.

j. ii. Twells, Jr., is the author of the
novel which opens the June number of
lite Smart Set The story is entitled
Zone Mans Hour" and is purely roman
tic tale, full of action and adventure A
young English publisher falls in love with
beautiful American girl and follows her
to Paris, where the real story begins. The
remarkable incidents which follow should
cause the most jaded reader to become en-
thusiastic
Zona Gale contributes to this issue what
is perhaps the most notable of her Pelleas
and Ettarre stories, entitled Rosemary
for Remembrance" Miss Gales work
has charm and distinction with which
magazine readers are happily familiar.
John g. Neihardt, a young Western
writer who is rapidly coming to the front,
is again contributor, this time with a
story entitled ''The Ancient Memory" a
most graphic piece of work. ] Lee Ma
therson, hitherto unknown writer, con-
tributes ''The Spirit and the Flesh, !"
viii Oh is as strong bit of fiction as will
be found in any periodical. Mrs Henry
DudenY, who never fails to write power
full story, is at her best in '"The Wonder
full Mood" Geiett Burgess is once more
represented with some of his clever
''Maxims of Methuselah," and other
charming stories are by W. j. Henderson,
Catherine Carr, Arthur Stanley Wheeler,
Katharine Metcalf Root and others.

The Best Guaranty of Merit Is Open Pub
ictf

Every bottle of Dr. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labora-
tory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed upon
its wrapper all the ingredients entering
into its composition. This fact alone
places DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines in a
class all by themselves. They cannot be
classed with patent or secret medicines
because they are neither. This is why so
many unprecedented physicians prescibe
them and recommend them to their
patients. They know what they are com
posed OF, and that the ingredients are those
Endorsed by the most eminent medical
authorities. The further fact that neither
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
the great stomach tonic, liver invigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
''Favorite Prescription" for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women
contains no alcohol, also entities them to
a place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is better solvent and preserv-
alive of the medicinal principles residing
in our indigenous, or native, medicinal
plants than is alcohol; and, furthermore,
that it possesses valuable medicinal pro-
perties of its own, being demulcent, nu-
tritive, antiseptic. and most efficient
antiferment.
Neither of the above medicines contains
alcohol, or harmful, habit forming drug,
as will be seen from glance at the form
ula printed on each bottle wrapper They
are safe to use and potent to cure.

Advanced Vaudeville

The program announced for Klaw &
Changers Advanced Vaudeville at the
Chestnut Street Opera House. Philadel-
phia. this week, gives promise of being
unusually enjoyable. Each act appears
to be singularly uniform in Importance,
although, perhaps, popular interest will
De conferred in the offering contributed by
George M. Conan, which is new edition
of THE Governors Son." specially pro-
duced for Klaw & changers Advanced
Vaudeville. Cohan's new edition of "The
Governors Son" introduces four new
musical numbers and for its presentation
eighteen comedians and soloists are re
quired, including Bobby Barry, Stella
Tracy, Jack Rafael, Lottie Medley and
Edward Sheehan. Mile Dazzle, premiere
danseuse, has been retained for a second
week, during which several new dances
will be shown. This artistic is unquestion-
ably one of the most graceful and most
skillful toe-dancers ever seen in Philadel-
phia. She leaves America for Paris after
her engagement there, and this week will
be in the nature of her farewell perform
ances. Two colored comedians who are
always cordially welcomed in Philadelphia
are Williams and Walker Klaw & Err
LANCER persuaded them to accept a few
weeks engagement in Advanced Vaude-
vile following their starring tour and they
will give portion OF the performance
which they presented before the King of
England. Victor Herbert's skit on the
grand opera war, called 1.-The Song Birds,
will be retained Another feature is Fred
Karno's London Pantomimee Company in
"a Night in an English Music Hall. .
This company includes Billy Reeves in his
part of THE Inebriated Clubman." The
piece is exceedingly funny as done by
these very amusing pantomimists. The
comedian, Julian Rose, who has been
specially engaged as feature, will sup
ply com edy monologue which will be
entirely new. Woodward's seals. from
the New York Hippodrome, are Justly
considered one of the most remarkable
of animal training and pa

peal particularly to the matinee audiences.
