Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.

:
Human interest is the keynote of
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, Its
stories and its articles follow as closely
as may be the lines of genuine human
experience. Its editors do not reject
romance; indeed, they seize upon good
story Whenever they find 1t; 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
experience. Take for example the
January number. 1t opens with sin
gulsrly dramatic article, "The Reign of
oOapy Smith, the notorious boss of
Sksguay. The articl is descriptive Of
occurrences incredible almost, yet actu-
al, written by man who took q prom
inent part in the long fight against
Smith and his ring. The story Is more
than the extraordinary history Of bad
man, It perfectly illustrates the devel-
Opment of city bossism, reduced to its
simplest terms in the primitive ciylliz-
alton of mushroom town.
This is the first number of Leslie's
Monthly which represents the new cen.
fury, and it 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
ersl "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 magaEins Of to-day has to
bAUW.

the consent of Attorny General Rem
ley, of this state, action has been be-
gun in the district court of Washing
ton county to determine the validity
of the biennial constitutional amends
ment adopted at the election in Mo-
vember. The amendment provides that
all state, county and township officers
holding terms which expire in 1901
shall be extended for one year. 1t
should have read in 1902 and was so
intended by the authors of the meas
ure, they going upon the basis that all
terms expire on the 31st of each De-
cember, while as n matter of fact they
expire on the first Monday in January.
Many local suits have been brought

of the legislature should hold good
and for that reason prepared the COM
plant in the suit brought yesterday.
