Booth Tarkington Has Written His Last Novel, So He Says.

Booth Tarkington, the widely famed Hoosier novelist and playwright, who is in Pittsburg, states that he has written his last novel, and that his present ambition is to get enough money together to be able to buy an Indiana farm, retire from the play writing mess and become a country gentleman with just enough to keep him alive and nothing more. He is best known as the author of “The Gentleman from Indiana.” There’s nothing so good for a sore throat as Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil. Cures it in a few hours. Relieves any pain in any part.
