THE APRIL SMART SET.
In the novelette which opens
the April Smart Set Grace Mac
Gowan Cooke has struck an en
tirely new note in fiction. It is
a story of the west so saturated
with the atmosphere of that part
of our country and so photo
graphic in its depiction of ranch
life that it will take high rank
among the best tales of that
class, yet it is more as a charac
ter study that “The Red-Headed
Woman” will win praise. The
heroine is the most original, the
most human, the most refreshing
woman who for a long time has
stepped from a printed page.
There is no reader who will not
be fascinated by her vagaries
and interested in her remarkable
career.
The short stories in this num
ber cover a wide field. First of
all, there is a wonderfully graph
ic tale by a new writer, Julia
Lawrence Shafter, which she has
called “A Realist.” In it, 'with
consummate art, she analyzes
the intricate character of a for
lorn criminal who has become a
subject of interest for a novel
ist in search of “copy.” This
story alone would make any
magazine worth while, but there
are other excellent tales, notably
by William R. Lighton, who tells
how a dead love was resurrected
in “The Shadow of a Shadow,”
by Mrs. Henry Dudeney, who
writes a powerful English story
of 1838 in “The Swift Ships;”
by Arthur Stringer, who goes to
the Canadian frontier for tne
scene of “In the Dusk of the
Goddess;” by Guy Bolton, whose
wit sparkles in “The Sign
Painter;” by Inez Haynes Gill
more, who contributes a delight
ful love story, “The Gods of
Hunger,” and by H. G. Dwight,
who writes a charming story en
titled, “Susannah and the El
der.”
Bliss Carman has contributed
an essay to this number,on “Hav
ing Known a Painter,” wherein
he again reveals himself as a
writer of exquisite prose.
The poetry is far above the av
erage of magazine verse, and is
written by such favorite authors
as Edith M. Thomas, Clarence
Urmy, Zona Gale, Madison Caw
ein, Arthur Davison Ficke, Nan
nie Byrd Turner and Gouverneur
Morris, the latter supplying an
other instalment of his inimita
ble verses, “Below Stairs.”
The April Smart Set maintains
its own high standard of excel
lence, and is remarkable for the
note of variety which it strikes.
FOR CLERKS AND OTHERS.
During the spring and summer
there is presented to clerks and
other young people three to five
months comparatively idle sea

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
! IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease,
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per-,
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
! the disease be allowed to tasten itself in
j the body. The excellent curative power
' of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 iu red oti the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 per bottle.
You I
Get Up
In the morning tired, languid,
and frequently with a headache
that is almost unbearable. You
have been nervous, restless and
sleepless night after night, and
gloomy and irritable during
the day. This nervous exhaus
tion affects the heart, lungs and
other organs that depend upon
the nerves for motive power.
Then the stomach fails to di
gest the food ; the heart action
is weak, and circulation poor,
and the kidneys and liver in
active.
What you need is not a stom
ach, head, kidney or liver med
icine, but Dr. Miles’ Nervine to
soothe and feed the nerves and
build nerve tissue.
“My wife was subject to severe men
tal strain, which resulted in nervous
prostration. The first symptoms were
uncontrollable crying and melancholy
spells, which increased to such an ex
tent that for over a year she would
have a spell every day of from four
to six hours duration. She required
the constant attention of her physic
ian and attendants. She sufferec. great
pain and anguish. The best physicians
attending her could give no relief, and
she finally became almost of unsound
mind. As a last resort I uegan giving
her Dr. Miles' Nervine, and Tonic, and
noticed that her spells next day were
not so severe, and they gradually dis
appeared altogether. She has had no
recurrence of the spells, and is gain
ing in health and strength,
j J. P. OVElRHOLSJSR. Sterling, 111.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is sold by your
druggist, who will guarantee that the
first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he

ries, with the marvelous Sher
lock Holmes as their hero, have
achieved the greatest success of
recent years. Appreciating this
fact, the publisher of Collier’s
Weekly, New York, induced Mr.
Doyle to write a final series of
the great detective’s adventures.
Repeated refusals were followed
by increased inducements, and
finally Mr. Doyle agreed to write
thirteen stories for $45,000, or
about 6C cents a word. The en
tire .cirespondence was by ca
ble.
The amount paid by Collier’s is
the largest ever paid for such
work and does not include the
right to publish the stories in
book form. By special arrange
ment with Collier’s these famous
stories are being printed in the
Kansas City Star, one story each
week, beginning in the daily
edition of Saturday, February 11.
and in the weekly Wednesdayi
February 15.
None of the present popular
features of the Star will be cut
down or omitted to make room
I for this remarkable set of stories.
Practically the contents of a $1.50 |
book will be added to the con
tents of the Star in three months
without any increase of the sub
scription price, 10 cents a week <
for the daily Star, (morningi
evening and Sunday, 13 complete
papers a week) and 25 cents a
year for the weekly Star.
