This index to Volume XXVII documents a comprehensive general-interest magazine featuring diverse content across multiple categories. The special articles section includes pieces on military affairs ("Armies of the Powers"), cultural topics ("American Artists Abroad," "Birth of Golf," "Fifty Years of Uncle Tom"), geography ("Land of the Golden Sands," "World's Bathing Places"), and biographical material ("Lincoln—Garfield—McKinley," "Hapsburg Romances"). Serial stories include Max Pemberton's "The Gold Wolf," Ernest W. Hornung's "The Shadow of the Law," Francis W. Van Praag's "The Circlet of Flame," and Frederick Upham Adams's "John Burt." The short story section presents adventure narratives ("Vanquishing of a Vaquero," "Winning of the Saucy Paoli"), domestic fiction ("Duke's Daughter," "Musical Interlude"), and regional tales ("Sonora Slim's Señorita"). Numerous storiettes and departmental features on theater, etchings, and literary commentary round out the publication.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
