The Valley Magazine.


When the publication of the
Mirror Pamphlets was begun 1t
was only with the idea that tho
little periodical would have a cir
culation 1T though few. Contra
ry to expectation the demand for
the little essays was quite heavy
and the attainment In two years of
a circulation OF 10000 copies was a
surprise.
This ucccs of n periodical de-
voted to but one article, nm issue
and by the same writer, naturally
suggested that an enlargement of
the scope of the periodical wo uld
still further appeal to the public,
and so negotiations were begun
with a view to making ofthc Mir
ror Pamphlets n popular magazine.
Il has now been determined to
merge ''Thc "Mirror Pamphlets"
in ''Thc Valley Magazine" and to
issue the new periodical monthly
at the small price of 30 cents per
year or five cents per copy-thc
same rates charged for the PAM
phlcts.
The first number of The Valley
Magazine will appear about July
LIST and all subscribers to the origi-
nal publication will receive the
new one until the expiration OF the
term for which they have subscribe
ed.
A strong corps of contributors
has been secured for The Valley
Magazine and the contents will be
of n character so diversified that
there will be something for all
tastes that n good tastes. The
reading II made up % original sto-
rics, critical articles sn literature
art, the drama, etc, poetry, bio
graphical, historical and travel
sketches, editorial comments ON

literary matter that II appropriate

ton. The publication will be OF
no political persuasion and. In
fact. political matters will be
barred from its pages.

him in carrying out the purpose
of his mission.

cipal dailies; addressed the Press
