CHICAGO TO THE FRONT.

Boyce's Big Weeklies, the Saturday
Blade and Chicago Ledger have been
been heard from again. The enterpris-
ing publishers of these papers have re-
Gently ''gone into color work'-that is,
they have added to their immense es-
Enlistment in Chicago, a complete
outfit of machinery, apparatus, etc, for
the production Of colored pictures,
such as have made several New York
dailies famous.
The Boyce company are constantly
studying how to please the 2,50O,OOO
readers of their weeklies, and this re-
cent effort has cost them upward of
$4,000. If this is not enterprise then
we are not familiar with the definition.
The Saturday Blade is now sixteen
pages in size. The old Blade is there
intact, folded inside an eight-page sup
plement containing three full page col
ored illustrations. original in design
and of the highest artistic develop
ment.
The Saturday Blade is a newspaper
magazine. and comic illustrated weekly
all in one.
Each issue of the Chicago Ledger
contains the best stories of adventure.
fiction, history, biography, household
recipes, and miscellaneous reading
matter that is possible for time. money,
or experience to get.
The Ledger is profusely illustrated.
some of the illustrations being in
bright colors. the like of which has
never been offered to lovers of good
and interesting reading matter. The
Ledger is the greatest of all weekly
family story papers. containing "a
pages, including the young folks de-
partment, edited in the interests of the
Juvenile population. The Chicago
Ledger is easily the leading family
story paper of America.

The Bald Mountain News has entered
upon volume three, and has every in-
dication of prospecting. John Skinner
is M of the best newspaper hustlers in
the Hills.
Leslie's Weekly has a happy knack
of timeliness in its pictures. This
week when soldiers, sailors and war
vessels are uppermost in the popular
mind, the great American illustrated
newspaper gives a superb page draw
ing by Hencke, showing a night scene
of the naval in Charleston
harbor, and another page by Max
Klepper depicting in spirited style the
feats of horsemanship performed by
Troop A, the crack cavalrymen of New
York's national guard. The front page
of Leslie's is q picturesque view of the
c%oal-at-cost philanthrophy, which con
sists not in giving away fuel. but in
putting it within the reach of the self
respecting poor in retail quantities at
wholesale cost prices. The theatrical
world is represented by many pleasing
portraits and a scene from a current
play. Foreign events and personages
have also their proportionate place,
and the illustrated Siberian series is
continued Interestingly. The promin
| ent personages featured include Sena-
tors Mason of Illinois aud Morgan of
Alabama; the Rev. Frank w. Gunsau-
lus of Chicago; Madame Teresa Car
emo, and many others.
The most intensely interesting
people of the world just at this
moment are the millions of famine and
plague stricken India. But little is
known of this region by the people of
tho United States. Such reports as
come to us are the things seen through
British glasses. What has been the
effect of British rule in India? Why
these terrible famines and plaques?
Julian Hawthorne has been sent by the
Cosmopolitan Magazine to India to OBJ
tain answer to these questions at first
hand and depict the situation as it APP
pears to an American. The March
Cosmopolitan contains the first of what
is probable the most important series
of articles aver published in this mag
azine. Nothing has been published
which gives an adequate knowledge Of
the large operations of business-at
least nothing by the class of men fitted
for such work by thorough familiarity
with the subjects of which they write.
The article III the March Cosmopolitan
on ''The Methods of Banking" by the
president of one of the largest banks of
New York-a man of widest business
eNperience-former Postmaster ener-
al James-is which every person,
however humble his clerkship or high
his place in the financial world, will
find interesting and Instructive. This
will constitute a very complete course
of business training and every young
man just entering business life and
every old man will alike find it of i'm.

Quick to Pick Up the Fashion.

From tho Youths Companion.
To that far-distant region lying below
Hudson bay q fur trader took his Boston
bride. and on the following Sunday proud
ly led her to the seat of honor in the
little chapel The congregation. to be sure,
consisted chiefly Of converted Eskimos, but
there were a few English and American
residents, and the natives. as the story
will show, were not unappreciative.
The bride was dressed in the voluminous
fashion of thirty years ago. A generous
circle indeed would have been required to
outline her skirts, and a coquet.ish little
veil shaded the upper half of her pretty
face.
Entranced sat the Eskimo women, but
with the call to prayer their heads bent
reverently in the customary attitude Of
worship. Were they following the earnest
words of the minister? Were their petit
tions rising with his? On the contrary all
the women were busily engaged in drag
ging forward to the tips of their noses the
nets which, after long urging, the mission
aries had induced them to adopt to confine
their flowing hair. The veil of the bride
had demoralized their religious devotion

The ''Summer Butterfly" In London
From the Sketch
l wonder il you know what Summer
butterfly Is? If you were skilled in the
ways of the cabby you would know that
it is the small tradesmen who turn cab
men during the season. returning to their
legitimate occupation when autumn sets
in. Butterflies" are being gradually weed
ed out by the police. and a man Is allowed
to take out a cab drivers license only
when he can prove that he is what he
represents himself to be. A cabman's
earnings greatly depend. 1 may say, on
luck accordingly. the weekly wage may
high as e. at certain seasons. The hours,
as you know are exceedingly long. Sup
posing a man turns out at 10 a. M: he
drives the same horse from six to seven
hours, and then changing horses. goes on
till o'clock in the morning. There is not
so much difference between hanson cab
drivers and the four-wheel man as the
public seem to imagine. Not infrequently
drivers change and change about: thus a
four-wheeler who feels that the moving of
heavy boxes is past his strength will take
a hanson: or again, the hanson eabby
who finds that his exposed position brings
on rheumatism and kindred Ills will change
in favor of the more jogtrot vehicle. There
is scarcely a well-known cab driver in Lon
don but has his own appellation, generally
given to him in view of some physical or
mental popularity. Some idea Of the liter
airy attainments and wide knowledge of
cabby can be given you by the fact that
among the nicknames may be found "Tril-
by, Lord Randolph Churchill" Flop the
Beadfe," Ulster Jack" Sweet Apple Joe,'
Busy Bee 'Garibaldi," "Nicodemus'' and
''Four-in-hand." Not infrequently the men
are known to one another only by their
DseudOnymS.

An Entire Shipbuflder Runs Afoul Of

There was an Englishman haiiing from

Washington. He was a large man weigh
ing not less than go pounds ard rising to
height of at least six feet three inches
He was for an Englishman not yet Ameri-
canized quite chatty and affable, after the
ice was broken, albeit just a wee bit slow
of wit.
I'm Hull shipbuilder," he was saying
to Yaf kee newspaper man in a small
party of journalists who were blowing him
OF to few rations wet and dry at foun-
dry where such things are manufactured.
''Of course you are" responded the YAM
bee as he treasured his huge proportions
and smiled; you could scarcely make Ms
believe you were only part of one. don't
you know"
Those in hearing laughed and the Eng
lishnan looked at the Yankee with q pug
zled, yearning expression on his broad and
honest face.

plicaticns could arise, somebody called On
the Englishman for a speech or something
and the Yankee Joker got away.
