LITERARY NOTES.
MCCLURE 8

Alfred Oivant's bob, Son of Battle;'' has
always been popular, but, though many readers
would gladly welcome il, no successor has yet
appeared. The author has recently, however,
published one or two short stories; the latest of
which appears in the February McOue's. The
Lord and the lady's Glove" is delightful love
story that tells itself charming in the vivacious
dialogue of the lovers themselves.
OUTLOOK.
Among all the articles that have BEEN pub
lished about Prince Henry and his visit none has
shown such personal knowledge of man, his
character and his family relation as that by Mr..
Poultney Biglow which appears in the OUTLOOK
for March |. Mr.. Biglow knew the sailor
Prince when the two were boys and he found
him then as he is now sympathetic, simple and
courteous. Prince Henry says this writer, is
sailor not of the parade kind but of the Dewey
and Target role.

YoUrH's COMPANION.

The Constitution Of the United States of
America has put new meaning into the word
citizenship. The high ideals of the fathers Of
our country have laid the foundations of good
citizenship in such way that the industrious,
high-minded, ambitious men and women of all
nations have focked to our shores. The present
prominence OF our nation among the rations of
the world and its new fields of useless and
power have given to American citizenship a
fresh inspiration toward true living and great ac-
compllshment
The high sentiments of our Chief Executive
in his address, "The New Citizen" printed in
The YoUTH's COMPANION, are fttingly pub
lished in the Washington's Birthday Number.
George Washington, by his pure life and wise
conservatism and ambition for the new country,
fairly won his title of Father of his Country.
Theodore Roosevelt, the best exponent of our
twentieth century activity, has equally high
ideals for the nation and in this address and in
his life he laysparticular stress onthe individual
his stewardship, his usefulness in home and pub
lie life.
Washington and Lincoln led our nation over
tsmost difficult paths. 1t has been left in recent
years for such men as Theodore Roosevelt TO
embody the highest ideals of private and public
citizenship.

Every true son has the highest respect and love

freedom she breathed into my spirit from her

MCCLURE's.

Chauncy Thomas knows how to mix fun and
adventure in his stories of cowboys and soldiers.
His latest is "Kiowa's Revival" in the March
McClure's which tells how the hap!ess parson of
Kiowa was forced by a committee of leading cit-
zens-who were celebrating an election-very
much against his own will into embezzlement
and horse-stealing. He was caught and very
badly scared at the trial, but the committee
owned up last, and led by its vindicated par
son Kowa had the greatest revival in its history.
NATIONAL MAGAZINE.
Senator Hanna who has been contributing to
the "National Magazine" series of articles on
civilian Mckinley AS I Knew Him." has
been so busy with party and national affairs DUR
ing the past thirty days that he was unable to
prepare the third paper of the series for the
March number ofthat magazine. He has chosen
for the theme of this paper the story of McKin-
ley's first days in the White House. No other
living man is so well able to tell the exact truth
concerning the events OF that time as Senator
Hanna, and from no other living man will the
American people be so eager to hear that story.
The Senator promises to have this article ready
for publication in the April number of the "Nat-
ioual;" and it is safe to say that it will have
more readers than other magazine contribution
of the month.

A saloon row of several days stand.
ing was brought up in police court
this morning. II was all news to the
police and warrants were sworn out
for the arrest of the hard hitters. Dan.
iel Apodaca. a young native. was
pounded up in fine style and kicked
around over the floor In the saloon of
+. Badaracco, on the corner of North
Third street and Tiieras venue The
B%adaracco and the bartender, Thomas,
are charged with being the chief pro
moters and victors in the fight, and
they will appear in court and tell their
stories. Apodaca is said to be in a
critical condition, which made 1t neces-
sary to summon a physician to attend
his injuries. His right eye Is swollen
so that 1t Is impossible for him to see
out Of it. At first It was thought he
would lose the sight. but from the lat
est report the injury is not considered
serious. The peculiar part of the affair
is that the matter was not reported to
the police until 1t was found Apodaca
was injured so bad that he could not
leave his bed.
The case is set for tomorrow morn
ing.
