LITERARY NoTE-Romance never
looked so inviting as now. With
the December number a change has
been made In its front cover, which
renders the table of contents more
attractive than ever, and the reality
bears out the announcement, for
every story in it is among the best of
its kind. They are largely devoted
to Christmas, and are full of the at
mosphere of the season, yet utterly
unlike in scheme and treatment.
Among the authors represented are
Octave Thanet, Francois Coppee
and Julia Schayer. Besides the
Christmas tales, there are story Of
of adventure in China by Henry
Willard French, charming social
study by Hughes lie Roux, a power
full Russian sketch by Ivan Tour
geuenef, and ludicrous Irish ghost
story by Urania Loche Bailey.
Since its reduction in price Romance
gives each month s'ten stories for .
dime - ard many more than a hun
dred year for $l.00. A sample
copy of a recent issue may be obtain
ed by sending three two-cent stamps
to Romance publishing Company
Clinton Hall, Astor Place, New
York.

B TIL ARE IT'S FIE d

The District of Columbia National Guard,
or at least a representative portion of it,
journeyed to Alexander Island yesterday
afternoon. For weeks past the chief topic
of conversation among the local soldiery
has been in regard to a company COM
petitive drill for prizes offered by the
Grange Camp Association of Northern Vir-
ginia. When the announcement was first
made that a drill would be held at least
half dozen companies thought favorably
of competing. but the final entries included
only the Emmett Guard and the Morton
Cadets.
The former company is we'll known to ali
Washfngtonians. 1t visited Little Rock,
Ark, in July last and won first prize in
the maiden drill, and in the past has car
ried of honor and prizes on various drill
fields The Morton Cadets, however. had
never before yesterday entered competi-
ton. so their appearance on the field was
awaited with interest
The Emmett Guard drilled but one or two
times in preparation for the Alexander
Island drill, while the Morton Cadets cccu-
pied about ten days in getting into proper
shape for the contes-. The time was very
