BOOTH TARKINGTON OF INDIANA AND PARIS starts a captivating serial in the November number of EVERYBODY’S MAGAZINE He calls it “The Guest of Quesnay”” If you like good reading, begin right there at the beginning and follow the curious and fascinating happenings to their finish. In forceful contrast is William Hard’s “Making Steel and Killing Men.” “What Do We Care” says the superintendent of a big steel plant, ‘for the lining of a furnace— it’s good for so much iron, and the sooner it makes it, the better.” Makes you wonder how about the O. Henry tells in the same number the story of a fat lady and a malignant star. Calls it “Phoebe"—nice, innocent, inoffen- sive title, isn’t it, to cover up one of his rollicking stories ? _ “Che Ladies’ Game” is an article that will bear a lot of thinking over; you may not believe it—we do, the facts came so dear we had to, We didn’t print enough Magazines last month and sold out too soon, So keep a lookout for EVERYBODY’S MAGAZINE 15 cents a copy. $1.50 a year.

Maude Muller on a summer's day lay dying in Algiers, ‘Man wants but little here below thy cold gray rocks, O sea! "Tis sweet to hear the watch-dog’s bark across the sands of Dee. At midnight in his guarded tent, when all but him had fled Lifeless but beautiful he lay, the bivouac of the dead, Past Fontenoy, past Fontenoy, to hastening ills a prey, Under a spreading chestnut tree my fondest hopes decay.

Authors N AUTHOR isa person whose chief occupation in life is the defacement of good white paper. ‘The appellation is wide-reaching, and may apply to the writer of a soap advertisement or to the creator of a best-seller. Of late years authors have become so numerous that they seem to have literally fallen out of the clouds upon a long-suffering people, like rain-drops upon an already water-soaked earth. In Indiana these drops fall with such persistence that the State is kept in a condition of literary overflow. Among certain authors of the present time there | is great rivalry as to who can cover the maximum of paper with the minimum of thought. Authors are divided into two classes—a small class who can write and who let their work speak for them, and a very large class who can't write and are con- tinually picking to picces the literary clect.—Cirde. ONGRESSMAN JAMES E. WATSON, of the Sixth, told a story while in town last week, anent the opcration of the pure-food law, and intended to illustrate his expressed theory that more people would be good if they had to be. “Tt was while we were wrestling with the pure- food bill at Washington,” he said, “that I got a letter | from home, written by a man from whom I bought a big quantity of maple sirup each year. He urged me to fight for the pure-food bill. Now, I coulda’t help remembering, to save my life, that this man bought five barrels of brown sugar at the opening of the maple molasses season. So I wrote him a note suggesting that advocacy of a pure-food measure seemed odd from a man who bought five barrels of brown sugar before beginning the manufacture of his pure maple sirup. Never feazed him. He turned my letter over and wrote on the bac! know it, but I want the law to make me do right.’”"—Indianapolis News.
