Washington are either getting ready TO say when
the returns from the Maine election are received
that they never had the slightest expectation or

drubb,ng than If they remained quiet and inactive

campaign This is offered az an explanation OF the

A FINE SEPTEMBER
MAGAZINE.

The first really adequate ac'
count Of the great Olymplan
Games at Athens, in which the
Americans carried off so many
of the honors, appears in SCRlB'
NER'S MAGAZINE for Septem-
Der. When the games were first
arranged, the publishers engaged
Rufus b. Richardson, an Ameri'
can long resident in Athens, to
attend and write full account
of the events. COrwin X. LinsOn,
the artist, was sent from New
York to study the sports and the
people. The result of this CO.
operation appears in the Septem-
ber issue; the pictures are true
and the figures Of the athletes
are portraits.
For many years Mr.. Brander
Matthews worked with II. G.
Bunner as literary partner.
This sketch Of the life Of |nck's
editor is therefore an intimate
one. Mr.. Matthews tells Of Bun
ner's first editorial work and OF
the man as his friends knew him.
The best travel articles printed
for years are Mr.. Jaccaci's ac-
counts Of his jOurneyings in I'M
travelled Spain, "On the Trail OF
Don QuixOte." They are vivid
pictures of the people by an OBJ
server who found pleasure in the
association. The illustrations by
Vierge are in perfect harmony
with the artistic spirit Of the text
A lover of sport and of nature,
Mr.. Frederic Irland has discOv-
cred an "UntOuched American
Wilderness" perhaps the only
one still unspOiled. This forest Of
the Maritime Province preserves
its perpetual youth, and this arti-
Gle upon it, with many pictures,
is most alluring.
1t is so comparatively seldom
that one sees nowadays a maya
zine article illustrated by wood
engraving that Mr.. Frank
French's little study of Country
Roads" is more Of a novelty than
it would have been a few years
ago, and the bicycle has made a
new interest for country roads.
Mr.. French draws the pictures,
engraves them himself, and
writes the text.
We have had wood engraving
and "prOcess." but the tendency
is towards fac-simile reproduc-
ing, and the September frontis-
piece is new step in this direc-
ton. One of Mr.. f. II. Blash-
fields decorations as here given
is bright bit of color.
The most powerful short story

which has been written for many
