An uHRIvALED ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE.
When ScRIBNER issued its famous Midsum-
mer Holiday Number in July, friendly critic
said of it: 1--WE are not sure bit that Scribncr
has touched high-acdter mark. We do not see
,ohat ,oorlds are left TO IL TO conquer" But the
publishers do not consider that they have
reached the ultima thule of excellence-they
believe "there are other worlds to conquer,
and they propose to conquer them"
