No one will ask for better holiday
reading than that which the Christmas
number of McClures Magazine will fur.
nish. First and foremost, of coure, is to
be mentioned John LaFarges article on
Michael Angelo, the first of series in
which during the following year this
great artist and critic of our own day
will discuss III the pages of Mcclure 5
the greatest artist of the past
But at this cheerful time of the year
fiction is especially seasonable, and it
needs but glance at the title-page of
the number to show that it provides
this not only in right Christmas like
abundance, but also in range of style
and variety of subject to satisfy every
taste and stimulate every interest
There are, in fact, no less than seven
separate short stories, most of them by
writer's already well Llown to readers
OF McClure's, and all of them certain to
stick in the memory and provoke a de-
sire for more from the same source.

There is the usual careful editorial
summary of foreign politics in the De-
cember Review of Reviews, the special
topics of the month being the passing of
LII Hung Chang and the outlook in
China, the projects of England and
Russia in the far East and in Afghanis-
tan, the aggressive attitude of Germany
in the region of the Persian Gulf, the
Balkan question, Turkish demorilaza-
ton and the French expedition, the
place of Ireland in British politics, and
the South African situation.

In the December Forum a paper by
Joseph Sohn on The Empire of Islands,
deals with neglected phase of colonial
expansion. He shows how Great Bri-
tain, although losing valuable posses
sions on the mainland, has succeeded
through the possession of a number of
scattered islands in developing world
wide empire. Her islands have first be-
come colonial centres; then milestones
of commences; then strategical bases;
and, finally, in some cases starting
points for exploration and discovery.

The complete novel of the Christmas

author Of Darcy of the Guards" 1T
is genuine romance of old France, in
which young American gentleman, as
polished as his Gallo rivals, fights and
woos by turns until he wins a gentle
lady from the tolls of dark conspiracy
against her fortune and freedom. The
story breathes of chivalry and patrician
and is us full of color and
as if it were set on the stage.

Juvenile Robbers.

"Wednesday two boys of but twelve or fifteen years of age, were arrested at the depot and lodged in jail with charges of robbery pending against them.
 There had unaccountably disappear ed from the warehouse a number Of boxes of rifles and cartridges and a box of matches. Upon the day men tioned the two boys were observed eo- ing under the building and they were followed with the result that the missing boxes were found.
 As stated the boys were arrested, but it is believed they were but the accomplices of older persons, who talk ing advantage of having business about the depot sneaked out the miss. ing boxes one at time at opportune moments, and got the boys to hide them. In the course of business dur. ing the day all the customs brokers and their "cargadores" have free access to the warehouse. It is thought that some of these latter, taking ad- vantage of momentary absence ol of brokers and railway employees ab. stracted the boxes and gave them to the boys to secrete where they were found. awaiting an eQu lily Opporbune moment to remove them to some other place where they could be con verted to the use Of the thief oI thieves

A Gasoline Surprise !.

Ohboiiht urPiihcs
 Thursday afternoon while working with gasoline assay furnace at the office of Charles Taylor & Co.,, MT. R. Burnham, one of the firm, and Dr. A. w. Bonney received surprise, From a leak in the feed pipes, which caused sudden rush of flame, envel. oping Mir. BurDham, burning his wrists, face, ears and neck, setting fire to his clothing and burning his back. At the instant Doctor Bonney was stooping oyer, and the rush Of flame passed over him, by which he escaped all Injury. The telegraph messenger, Guero Gaxiola, had just come in looking for scme one for whom he had message, and had started out. As he passed through the door and turned the flame caught his right hand burning it severely.
 In the supply tank were about twenty gallons oigasolne, which ran out on the ground, fin the shed where the furnace was working, and spread across the lot to the fence of Breen & Peck's corral, sheet of flame. An alarm of fire was sou1ded and the de- partment turned out, turned on a stream in short order and quickly quenched the flames, from which but little damage had resulted. The gas oliDe fed tbe fire and it had not as yet taken hold of the woodwork Of the building or a0ythiDg else com bustible in the vicinity. The prompt ness and energy of the department deserves commendation.
 McCurdY & EKey, the law firm whose office is i" the front of the building, moved out their furniture and library, and after the excitement was all over moved back again.
 Doctor Bonney dressed the injuries of his companion, and yesterday he was resting easily. He is again about but he is in no wise i'm proved in beauty by his mishap.

around which seemed to embrace the

said
"The hand that buried this money
