Frank 1e.lie's Popular Monthly.


Human interest is the keynote of
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. Its
stories and its articles follow az closely
a. may be the lines of genuine human
experience. Its editors do not reject
romance; indeed, they seize upon good
story whenever they find it; but they
try to give the magazine as q whole
the favor of reality. The reader feels
instinctively that most of the stories
are transcripts from life; not the com
monplace existence too familiar to
most of US, but the life of energy and
experiences. Take for example the
January number. It opens with sin
gulsrly dramatic article, "The Reign of
Soapy Smith, the notorious boss Of
Sksgusy. The articl is descriptive OF
occurrences incredible almost, yet actu
al, written byfa man who took prom
inent part In, the long fight against
Smith and his ring. The story is more,
than the extraordinary history of q bad
man. It,perfectly illustrates the devel-
0pment OF city bossism, reduced to its
simplest terms in the primitive civlliz-
alton of q mushroom town.
This is the first number Of Leslie's
Monthly which represents the new CEN
tury, and 1t may fairly be taken as es-
tablishing the high water mark of
mechanical excellence in magazine
making In an inexpensive form.
The editors are conventional enough
to believe in appearances, and they
wish to call especial attention to
the looks of the Monthly-the printing,
the paper, the Illustrations and the gen
eral makeup" The illustrations show
the best results yet achieved by ten cent
magazines. The paper is opaque; the
print In single column, big and clear
the best print for weak eyes which any
illustrated magazine of today has to
show,

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lied world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by DIR. Dom
