What would be thought of government
which gave positions in the army and
navy to men entirely unskilled in military

as a part of the spoils to be used as re-

A NEW ''a1BsoN GIRL"
A new "Gibson girl" drawn by
the famous society artist, G.. D. Glib
son, will make her debut in print as
the cover design for the February
Ladies' Home Journal. The now
girl" ls the artists own little daugh
tor, who, at ono year of age, will be

The legend under tho picture is "My

NEW FORM OF PERSONALITIES.
Tho old style of portraying famous
people through "sketch" or "biog-
raphy" is to be modernized in The
Ladies' Home Journal during 1893.
Five of the most prominent Ameri-
cans have been chosen for the de-
parture: President Mckinley, Mrs.
Cleveland, Mark Twain, Joseph
Jefferson, and Thomas A. Edison.
Each will have special article,
which will consist of about Fifteen
or twenty fresh, unpublished stories
and anecdotes strung together, each
anecdote showing some characteristic
trait or presenting different side
of the subject. The idea is to show
famous personalities through their
own doings and sayings, and make
these articles accurate the relatives
aud closest personal friends Of the
subjects have assisted and given to
the journal the best stories and an
ecdotes within their own knowledge
Each article will thus represent the
closest view Of the one sLetched. No
authorship will be alta ned to any of
the articles.
