Show Happenings to Great Authors. The discovery of the original manuscript of Milton's1 "Paradise Lost," for which it la said. $250,000 has already been offered, has added to the romance of manuscripts anothei chapter replete with Interest. Of th adventures of aumany thors' manuscripts let us here relate a few. At the time of Nathaniel Hawthorne's death It was currently reported that the manuscript of the unfinished "Dolliver Romance" had been consigned to the novelist's grave Such, however was not the case, though at the author's funeral It had been placed upon the coffin, where it had remained throughout the service. It was subsequently published In th "Atlantic." When his beloved wife was consigned to her grave In Hlghgate cemetery. Dante Gabriel Rossettl placed the poems which had been inspired by and addressed to the dead woman between her cheek and hair, where for over seven years they remained. Then, fired by emulation by the success of his friends. Morris and Swinburne, in the field of poetry, and longing to how the world that he. too, had climbed Parnassus, he obtained permission to open the coflhi whence he recovered the manuscript, which was published In 1870 under the title "Poems." The manuscript of a novel on which the late Mr. George Gissing had been working for a firm of American publishers was duly finished and 6ent on its way. Unfortunately, it traveled by the Paris, which was wrecked on the Manacles. Of this Mr. Gissing was unaware until he re ceived a cablegram Informing him of the of his work, when on making inquiries, the truth as to his Ices was ascertained. The manuscript was ultimately recovered from the stranded vessel, and once again despatched to Its destination. Another story of a recovered manuscript is told in . relation to Tennyson's "In Memorlam." At one time the future poet laurette lodged with Coventry Patmore at the house of a certain and whom for some reason spinster, they left rather suddenly. No sooner had they departed, however, than Tennyson remembered that he had left hia precious manuscript in the sitting room cupboard. After a britl consultation Patmore volunteered to attempt its rescue. He slipped back Into the house, and, under fire of the acrimonious landlady's vituperation, bore oft the priceless treasure in triumph. Besides the classic burning of the first volume of Carlyle's "French devolution," many other instances of lost manuscript can be recalled to mind. Both Dickens and Lytt-underwent this ms'casant experience; while among present day authors may e mentioned Sir Wemyss Held. who. avlng lost the manuscript of his nov-I- , "The Luroley Entail," was obliged o rewrite the entire story from mem- ry. and-strang- ML Uncle Ben mmDr didn't mind Tommy's prank c until he got hold of hit razor.

Finally, Earp, clean fluster-I by i.je situation pulkJ his gun fr h'.u belt and fired three times lim. j ceiling, whereupon the little man sill! smiling said. " 'Now, you will have to bury it or I will have to take it away from you sir.' " 'Take my gun awajr from me! reared Earp. i" 'Exactly said the little man. 'Maybe you doubt I'll do it, sir?' "The witnesses of this colloquy didn't know what to expect from Earp but wey knew what would happen pretty soon if Earp became defiant, cause in Dawson people know what to expect from the mounted Canadian police. They, knew, too, that thU little cce :iey had spuelched every bad man who bad ever come In;o Dawson and they didn't doubt that oe would attend to Earp. "However, a crisis was averted by Earp's putting his gun back into his belt and starting to leave the p'.ace. Just as he got to the door the policeman walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. "'I beg your pardon, sir.' he sail, "but if you come out with a gun !n sight tomorrow, I shall have to take it away from you. "Earp turned purple with rage;, but he had no nerve left when confronted by that politely smiling face. He rrared a few oaths back at the amused crowd in the gambling bouse, and tben went to the Golden Lion saloon, where he took a few drinks and proceeded to tell what he would do the next day when the cockney tried to take his gun. Why, 111 blow him full of boles,' he said. 'Yes said a listener, 'but when you put a hole in him you put a hole in the British Empire, which it will fill with two men. If you kill them four will take their places. In the end, Earp, you will have the whole Britisn army here If necessary Just to put you out. Belter let him alone.' "The next day, Earp, very sober and very thoughtful, appeared on the streets of Dawson in the store clothes he came to town with. Almost the first person he struck was the cockney, who had evidently been waiting for him prepared to take his gun away if he showed IL As soon as he saw Earp he stepped up very politely and said: " 'Thank you, sir,' and then turnel on his heel. N"Earp hasn't been deuce high as " bad man In 'Dawson since that incident. Incidentally, I might cay, if he had elected to mix up with the cockney he'd be sleeping under an epltath tonight; for of 'all the real tough men 1 ever saw, either for or against law and order, these Canada mounted police are the limit.' c Done at Dawson by a ney Policeman. t Cock- Since Wyatt Earp, once famous as ft gun fighter In Arizona and California, went up into the Klondyke very little has ben heard of him by the outside world. The last exploit that brought him into prominence was a decision Jn the prize fight I Ban Francisco, when c. gave the fight to Sharkey on an alleged foul. For acme years before he had been quite an orderly citizen for one of his reputation as a gun fighter. From the stories that drifted down Trorn the Kandlke in the last few weeks, it appears that Earp has resum-- a favorite trick of his, known in the West as shooting up the town. He was much addicted to It in the old lawless days of Arizona and California. Earp was never a man who could eacily be tamed, consequently a story toll of his suppression a few days ago by a dlroinuitlve cockney member of tho Canada mounted police will be interesting to some of his friends here. "Ea'rp drifted into Dawson several months ago full of determination to get action," said a San Francisco man to seme of Earp's old Western friends the other night. "Civilization. jwlice-tne-n and progress generally knocked out Earp's gun fighting game in th States some years ago, and, like Bat Mestcrson and a few other relics of the old days, he had been quite orderly and well behaved for some years. "But when he got to Dawson bo found a settlement like the places In which he had made bis reputation as a trad man many years ago. He found men carrying guns around in their belts and getting drunk and shooting people who happened to displease them, and It gave him the fever to get back into the game in which he was an adept in the days gone by. "So Earp discarded his store clothes, got himself a flannel shirt, a pair of leather trousers and a sombrero, stuck gun in his belt, loaded up on whisky and went around the saloons and faro banks ballyragglng everybody who would stand for his game, and taking a few shots at some who resented it. There were a number of bad men In Dawson who were aufflcently awed by Earp's reputation to stand for him, and for a week he had things pretty, much Ho own way. . "Well, the fact that Earp was hitting it up got to the ears of a little flve-fccockney member of the Canada mounted police, one of whose duties it was to see that Dawson behaved itself. Now, Earp didn't know much about the Canada mounted police and the manner of men who compose It. "Therefore, when he was Interrupted In the gentle amusement of cleaning out a faro bank In Dawson one night by this little chap coming up1 to him with a request that he give tip Is gun, he opened bis mouth and eyes very wide, swore a might round of oaths and asked the little fellow in wanted .o riding boots and cap if he hours. few a wait once of at visit hartes when somewhat surprized was "Earp amilled politefellow simply little the ly and said!

Wonderful Advancement Made Treating by Dr. Henderson. and is an honor to his calling na welt as u citizen highly esteemed by hi In fellow men. He may be consulted at any time at hia office, 103 West Uinta Kansas City. Sunday Journal, July 6, street. 1903: Rupture Is no longer incurable, ex cept perhaps in extremely rare cases, says Dr. Ernest Henderson, Kansas City's eminent hernia specialist. However, it hasNnot been many years slnco a reliable treatment for this affliction was unknown, and surprising as It may seem, themethods of former years are still in vogue in many places. "In taking up rupture as a specialty," Dr. Henderson said to a reporter, "I was satisfied that tie old principle was wrong and there was ac opportunity for a man who would devote time and study to Improve It. A rupture H a dangerous thing; no one can tell what minute it will cause trouble, and the time may come when relief Is not within easy reach. It Is always a bother even when there is no pain or apparent danger. To be sure, It was no small task to revolutionize (he treatment cf rupture, and I am not boasting when I say that there are few men who would have worked, studied and experimented as I have done to bring out a new method and perfect It so aa to be effective in all classes of rupture. My success has been my reward. I have been practicing this method for several years, aud there are hundreds of people in Kansas City and vicinity who will take great pleasure in testifying to its efficacy. People now coma to consult me from almo.U every state in the Union, and I have on file in my office letters from many Df them showing the high esteem In which they hold the service I have ren- flered them." In treating rupture Dr. Henderson does not use a knife, consequently h. has built up an Immense practice an I now enjoys a national reputation as a rupture specialist. His plan of no pav until cired has certainly proven very popular. Dr. Hen'!c-?o- n js one ci the ablet men In the medical profeKKlon tn.lcy. The Pulishers Nevwvrapcr Union, Kansas City, Mo, Vcl.
