The range of human interest covered
by the August Cosmopolitan is curious
ly wide The reader is swept along and
his journey made fascinating by one
hundred and forty-six pictures-from an
article telling of the trolly road now
building from Carlo to the Pyramids,
with some remarkable pictures of those
monuments of aniquity; through conf
prehensive and and richly illustrated re-
view of New York Society; to the prize
article on "Your True Relation to So
ciety;;' and thence to Ireland to listen to
a 'child OF the turf telling OF the life OF
Erins people and the part peat plays In
it. Back to Omars invasion of Egypt
the reader goes, and then to take peep
at the art and methods of the late Aug
ustin Daily and to see magnificent port
folio of pictures of DAILY productions,
DAILY actors and DAILY himself From
DAILY the reader goes to Cuba and thrills
with interest at the well-told adventures
OF a young man who carried mail and
military documents to Gomez by the
Underground" route. And to add to
all this there are four short stories all
excellent, and the longest is by that
prince of talesmakers, Frank X. Stock.
