Literary Competition.
The Toronto Saturday Night, a recog

tainine. to literature, refers as follows to
the shl'ort story competition offered by
the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, of
Brockville :—
"It is gratifying to find this large
business firm interested in literature ,and
the nature of the competition is such
that a keen interest is sure to be aroused
in all parts of Canada. There is perhaps
no portion of the world that yields ma-
terial so abundant, situations so piquant
and oharacters so striking, for the -writer
of short stories as may be found in Can-
ada and more partioularly in the North-
west Territories. We have seen, what
Gilbert Parker has been able to do with
his all too limited knowledge of the Hud-
son Bay country. Had he or any other
trained writer as complete a knowledge
of our great Northwest, the traditions of
the forts, the halfbreed and the Indians,
as is possessed by hundreds of our read-
ers, the literature of the world would be
enriched. Winners of cash prizes in
other cornpetitions are excluded, so that
there is no reason why beginners should
not try a hand."
Three hundred dollars is offered in
prizes, the amount being divided among
the best five stories received. Stories
for competition must reach the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont.,
before the 1st of july next.

until, for commercial reasons,he assumed
the better known name. Sixty-sevenyears

of Delmonico was opened.

The most excruciating pain known is
perhaps caused by Angina Pectoris, 'which
is most to be dreaded of any of the dis-
eases of the heart. it distinguishes itself
especially by pam, and pai which is best
described as agonizing. The pain literally
transfixes the patient, generally radiating
from the heart to the left shoulder and
down the arm. The face shows the pic-
ture of terror, and is either deathly white,
or livid. To a person suffering from this
speoics of heart trouble or from palpita-
tion or fluttering of the heart, shortness of
breath, or smothering spells, the value of
Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart cannot
be estimated, as it will give relief in

P1 my ago, and never during, that time,
have I made a statement more
and conscientiously than now. My body,

there are thousands enduring a like afflic-

of a hope of relief and very naturally I be-

time after time have I given up in despair..
While in Arizona three years ago I heardt
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I sent for six
boxes in order to give them a fair trial. 1
followed the direetions closely and. by the
time the fourth box was finished the pain
had greatly lessened and I was much im-
proved. My friends having witnessed the'
wonderful effect upon my body could not.

about to leave for the East, I gave he re-
maining two boxes to them. Unfortun-
ately I neglected getting another supply
for nearly a year after returning to this,
part and I felt that to me Pink Pills were
one of the necessaries of life. Last spring -

ing them since with a very satisfactory

new man entirely free from pain or stiff -

of feet and half way to the knee, but I arn
confident that these pills will relieve this
feeling. Although well Advanced in,years
I am able and do walk many miles a day.
For rhomnatism Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills
stand pre-eminently above all other medi-
cines according to my experience and I
urge a trial on all suffering frora this
painful malady."
The above is an unvarnished statement
of facts as told the Advance recently by
Mr. George Seiko's, an esteemed resident
of Miller's Corners, and L10 one hearing
the earnest manner of its recital could fail
to be convinced of Mr. Selleck's sincerity.
But if this were not enough humbeds of
witnesses could be summoned, if need be,
to prove the truth of every word stated.
Mr. Angus Buchanan. the well known
druggist and popular reeve of Keniptville,
speaks of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as one
of the most popular remedies known,hav-
ing a great sale among his customers and
giving general satisfaction.

Lawyers and Tboir Neckties,.‘
Lawyers in Toronto, and in fact in al'
cities, have a curious fad as regards neck-
ties. They seem to be very partial to those
little black silk cravats. What is more,
they never tie them tastefully, but leave
the ends straggling out, kmd sometimes,
the bow is not evident at all. Now, why
Is this? Is it a matter of superstition or
merely the aping of some great man of
law who wore his cravat in the manner.
above rioted?
A reporter spoke to a well-known young
lawyer about it, and when. it was suggest-
ed to get a new tie the fellow gave a gasp,
of horror.
' "Why, man, I could not think of chang-
ing it."
"What's the reason?" was the inquiry.
"Reason, reason?" He looked blank
for a moment. "There isn't any reason, ,
but all tho other follows wear there, so I
have to be in line."
"Well, you're e strange cluck if you
don't know what the cause of it is."
Later it was found out that a black tie
of the above named sore suggests dignity
and soberness that no other tie will give.
A lawyer cannot affeord to be frivolous in
his attire if he is in his language. It's a.
