This is primarily an **advertising page** for Scribner's Magazine, not a political cartoon. It promotes two major upcoming serials: 1. **"Rest Harrow"** by Maurice Hewlett—a literary novel praised for its poetry, romance, and unconventional character study. 2. **Theodore Roosevelt's African Trip articles**—Roosevelt's exclusive firsthand account of his post-presidency hunting expedition, featuring illustrations by his son Kermit. The text emphasizes Roosevelt's unique ability to capture American sentiment and his "grim strength" in describing wildlife adventures. The page includes a portrait photograph of author Maurice Hewlett. The advertisement targets educated readers interested in literature and adventure, promoting both serials at $3 per year through Charles Scribner's Sons. The Roosevelt content appears designed to capitalize on his celebrity and recent African prominence.

The New Serial in ai’ | | ns Scribner’s Magazine Beginning in January, 1910 Rest Harrow By Maurice Hewlett —| @ The author is one of the foremost and most widely Maance Hewlet read and admired writers of to-day. This story possesses all of his fascinating qualities of poetry and romance and the interest of character revelation, together with a strikingly original point of view that will attract and hold the attention from the very beginning. It is a modern story, a view of life as the author sees it to-day, and its truth, beauty of style and fearlessness, with a characteristic note of unconventionality and Aumanness, will make it one of the most remarkable serials the Magazine has ever published. SCRIBNER’S MAGAZINE 1910 HEODORE ROOSEVELT’S own and exclusive account of his ! African Trip will continue to be a very important feature of the Magazine during the greater part of 1910. The articles already published have met every expectation with regard to their exceptional interest and value, and the extraordinarily large editions required to meet the demand have had to be increaszd with each number. Nothing he has ever written has better revealed his own attractive personality, his remarkable faculty for observation and appreci- ation of the picturesque and unusual in both humanity and nature. The Boston Transcript says: “Mr. Roosevelt has a unique way of feeling as the American nation feels. His general sympathies, modes of thought and emphasis, and even his prejudices are largely theirs. That fact makes Americans follow with zest the story of his hunting ia the wilds told with the same grim strength that has made his political utterances 10 far-reaching and deep in their influences.” In the January number he will describe hunting experiences at Juja Farm: Hippo and Leopard These articles are not only fascinating narratives of adventure; they are also authoritative accounts of the natural history of many animals but little known to most readers. The illustrations by Kermit Roosevelt and other members of the expedi- tion are especially interesting. To secure all of Mr. Roosevelt's articles subscriptions should begin with the October number. $3.00 per year. CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS, 153 5th Avenue, New York comicbooks.com
