Donahoe's For March.
Every number OF Donahoe's demon
strates that this very unique magazine has
won for Itself a distinctive place in high.
class periodical literature. Its readers eX- |
pect every month something striking and
original, something new and full OF flesh
and blood, and they are never dissapoint-
ed. ,Donahoe's does not rattle around
among the dry bones OF dead heresies and
forgotten creeds and extinct issues, but is
a magazine OF to- day and tomorrow, full
OF the 18th century spirit and in touch
with the best thought OF the present. In
the current number, a Catholic clergyman |
considers the subject Of gambling in a
way that will make one talk or think, ae-
cording to the depth OF his mind There |
is an article on cooperation and human
nature which most effectively disposes OF |
the old argument that competition is the |
law of trade. Two handsomely |
illustrated and charmingly written sketch |
es OF life in the Bermudas and the BAHIA
mas Will appeal to all who live in colder |
ATTITUDES. General Shields, the greatest |
man of Irish blood in American history. |
receives just though tardy recognition. |
Tim Murnane, the famous baseball writer |
tells graphically Of the five greatest plays |
he has ever seen. Maurice Francis Egan |
gives some OF his literary experiences |
that will be an eye-opener for ambitious |
young writers. The original Illustrations /
Of the number by Louis Meynelle and |
James Kennedy are excellent, as their
work always is.
