Readers of SCI ibner's Magazine during re-
cent months have been entertainei by a series
of papers by August f. Jaccaci, "On the Trail
of Don Quixotc," being record of rambles in
the ancient province of La Mancha. These ar
ticlos were further notable because of the ex.
quisite illustrations Of an entirely unfamiliar
style, drawn by Daniel Vierge. Now the
articles and the pictures have been gathered
together in % handsome red covered volume,
beautiful PRINT, strangely attractive pictures
and all, and 10 is altogether one OF the most
elegant and most generally attractive holiday
books that mas come to town. One can hardly
get along without this the Don Quixote

made the journey through In Mancha chiefly

Ahe EhucnSOrerS are Getting Ready.
All over tine land prepare tions are even
now being made for the invasion of Wash
hgton by that most enthusiastic of re-
Egious b0dies-the Society of Christian En-
deavor. July is the convention month and
there will come to comprise the great gath
ering not less than sixty thousand dele
gates. Accompanying that host will be
thousands of friends. while a multitude of
hon-Endeavorers will journey hither to wit
ness the stirring scenes always incldenta al
to large assemblages of Christian Endeav-
orers. Upon the people of Washington will
therefore devolve, once more. the pleasing
DUTY OF entertainment; a duty for which
Neutrality-suspicious. are eminently qualified by
nature and by long experience in the exer-
else of hospitality. Never, in all the his
tory Of Grand Army encamuments were the
veterans better cared for than they were
when they last Sojourned at the national
capital. but the record then established
should be broken next July. There ought to
be general opening of the city's homes
and practically-cheerful welcomes extended
to the bright, clean-souled young men and
women who are carrying on a warfare
which deserves the solid support of all who
love their country and their fellow-beings.
The local committees are now engaged in
soliciting funds with which to defiay the
legitimate and general expenses of the con-
vention: so far they have done well but
there Is real need for more money which
will. without doubt, be forthcoming in good
season. Boston had the convention last
year and 1t would give any reasonable sum
to have it again, because it is impossible to
compute the amount of good that was done
by the Endeavorer bands. No matter how
much may be subscribed, Washing onians
may rest assured that the investment will
be profitable.
