A Great Magazine Feature.

The Ladies' Home Journal has

great magazine feature OF 1898.
1t Is entitled "The Inner Expert
ences of Cabinet Members

ten by the wife OF a Cabinet mem
Der to her sister at home, are de-
tailed her actual experiences in
Washington, frankly and freely
given. The letters were written
without any intention OF publi-
cation. They give intimate peeps
behind the curtain If high official
and social life. They are abso-
lutely fearless, they study Wash
ington life under the searcbllght
as it has never before been pre-
sented. The President and the
highest officials of the land, with
the most brilliant men and
women OF the Capital, are seen in
the most familiar way. AS these
are all actual experiences the
name of the writer is withheld.
The lett rs will doubtless excite
much shrewd guessing by readers
and study Of internal evidence to
discover the secret. The "EXperl-
ences," winch Will be beautifully
illustrated, begin IN the December
number and will continue for sew
eral months.
The attention of mining men
throughout the entire West Is at
