The May Century has appeared
with it's usual store of good things.
The frontispiece IL . portrait Oi
Chief Joseph the Nez PIERCE, and This
redskinned warrior and MS CAM
paigns are described in an iDteI estiug
manner by Lieutenant L. +. =.
Wood. The first article of this l.uni-
Der is by Julian Hawthorne, 1.-The
Salem Of HAWTHORNE" It il illus
trated. and the reader catches u
glimpse of the quaint scenes which
Hawthorne wove into his stories.
Following this is an insallment OF
Lady Barberine," the first of . short
serial by Heny James. The scene Is
in England, while some of the char
acters are American. It is in the
authors unmistakable style.
IAN Average Man." and "Dr.
| Server" are both continued. III. II.
writes on 1.-The Women of the Bee
| Hive" in which she shows an appre-
ciative nowledge of the religious
| convictions and fanaticisms OF the
MORMON women.
"Rose Nader" is q charming
shot story of artist life. But the
feast is too abundant to allow of de-
scription. There r articles on the
"Trade Unionism in England"
"British Fertility" and q perfect
satire by Frank r. Stockton on 1.-THE
Training of Parents" etc. etc. To
apprenticeship and read.
The Century Co., not content with
their success in furnishing the bright
est and best of monthlies for grown
folks, actually take delight in eclips-
ing all other Juvenile publications in
their Incompatible st. Nicholas, as
the May number will prove.
j. T. TlOwbridge begins a new
serial called 1.-THE scarlet Tanager,"
which deals with the adventures OF
a young naturalist. Maurice ThOmp-
son also begins q new serial MARVIN
and His Boy Hunters." Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps contributes a helpful
article for girls, "~Supporting Herself
Another lovely ~"Spinning Wheel
Story" and"Another Boy Hero, ZAP
pear, and other articles, besides pic
lures and poems enough to MAKE
pleasant thoughts for more than the
month we shall have to wait to get
June's treasures.
Although nearly every n knows
of "Godey's Lady's Book" it is not
generally known that it is the oldest
monthly publication in America.
Established in 1880; it has outiived
all other magazines, and might, with
propriety, be called the mother of
magazines in this country. Gray
haired men and women remember it
as an entertainer when their hearts
were young, and young people asso-
ciate it with the first introduction to
stories of romance. And the rising
generation find it as pure and inte-
resting as did its parents, aye, as its
grandparents did in the days of
"Auld Lang Syne."
1t is an old and well remembered
in our American literature
and we doubt not that many Of our
readers will recall with it pleasant
of other days.
The young editor and proprietor,
who now publishes it has evidently
lie termined that all who seek to re-
new their acquaintance with the old
avorite shall not be disappointed.
As viewed mechanically it is excelled
~ none, while its corps of literary
includes many of the
)est known names of magazine
writer's. It certainly speaks well for
t and our people that, nutwithstand-
ng the enormous efforts made by the
of the numerous penny
lreadfuls." it finds such q large pat
Onage, not only in America, but all
yer the world. Although its low
Inscription price ($2.OO a year, may
influence its large circula-
we are inclined to ascribe it's
to intrinsic merit and we ,
aOst cordially bid the old book Cod t
peed on its second half-century. W. I
resume all book dealers keep 1t on y !
and or can send for it. 2
Have the MINER readers examined t
be new map of Montana, published '
y McNally & Co? It contains the /
ew county and shows all late
hanges. While it is being sold by :
gents we might as well possess our 4
Elves of it and become familiar with :
ne geographical features Of our I
reat Territory. F. A. r.
