Wife of Lowell Editor Writes Book.

Lowell Tribune. It will come as a surprise to many of our people to know that Lowell has an authoress, but such is the fact. Mrs. L. W. Ragon has written a book entitled “Red- Cloud,” an Indian story, and the manuscript is now in the hands of the publishers. Before submitting it to the publishers the manuscript was in the hands of critics in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore. Their reports warranted her submitting the manuscript for publication to a publishing house in Baltimore, Md. Their offer was very flattering in ’ the way of royalties and after due considera-

tion she accepted it. The publishers expect to have the book ready for the market in the early winter. It will retail for one dollar. Mrs. Ragon feels justly proud of her achievement and feels that she has been greatly honored for one just entering the literary field and Mrs. Ragon is enjoying ,the congratulations of her friends.
