OCTOBER McCLURES.

McClure's October number, i'll its
gorgeous crimson cover, can be seen
twice across the street, anu it's worth
crossing the street to buy. First and
foremost, there is Lincoln Steffen's
long looked for Chicago article,
"Chicago: Half free and Fighting
On"
A. W. Rolker, who wrote an excel
lent article about snakes for McClure's
a few months ago, follows 1t up with
a very entertaining account of the
"Babies of the Zoo" for which, of
course, all the baby animals have sat
for their protraits. For fiction, the
most crochety taste Will find some
thing to its liking. Henry Wallace
Phillips has a Red Saunders story,
warranted to dispel the heaviest
Crouch" Lloyd Osborne contributes
a dashing love story with a Montana
heroine, (who has evidently been
"fnished' in the East) and William
Hamilton Osborne has a tip-top bust
ness story Bullock Jr., and the
Octopus, all about the formation Of
a big skate trust. Then there Is a
beautiful little story of the Ghetto,
1.-The End Of the Task" by Bruno
Leasing, and a delicious one act
comedy 1.-The Committee on Matri-
mony," by Margaret Cameron. And
finally q stunning sea tale-perhaps
the best OF all-"The Mate from
Main" by Colin Mckay, a name one
wishes to see more of. Henry Har-
lands my Friend Prospero" reaches
it penultimate instalment; and it's a
pity that it's so nearly over.

MERCHANTS COMPLAIN.

The merchants are complaining OF
great depression in business. Some
are feeling the hard times who have
always been so sanguine formerly,
that they were never hearu to COM
plain. AS work is very slack OH the
coal docks at present, it may be that
that helps make business dull. 1t is
very certain that the last pay day did
not amount to much for those having
stores here.

Booklets Made at Home.

Booklets as gifts are apt TO be doubly
appreciated when made by the hand
of the donor. A local artist has just
designed one of these which IS a pleas
ing variation on the usual form. The
cover is made of an oblong of grayish
tree bark, and upon it, worked out in
colored beads, suggesting malachite of
different shades, is the word Friends"
Inside the booklet, on sheets of thin
water color paper, are quotations on
friendship, beginning with one from
the Bible and including others from
Epictetus, T~ennyson, Emerson, Tolls
tot and other writer's. Each quotation
has an Illuminated initial letter, fol-
lowed by a hand-painted text.-Brook-
