There is being much said about
uegro Peonage 10 the South, which
means holding negroes in inyolun-
tary servitude. a federal Judge in
Alabama has gone so far as 10 con-
vIoeot peonage a white man who
tovoed negro to work out debt due
higu, the negro raising 90 objections
unti iustigated by others to prose-
cute the man who had extended
credit 20 him. In many of the fac.
tories of the North, the white labor
ers are but little better than slaves,
hut we hear no especial clamor be-
Tug raised about their pitiable con-
dition Next thing, the "peonage"
question will be applied to negro
iail birds who are held in ''iuvolun-
taSy servitude. "

The July lumber of Every body s
Magazine is specially strong in fc-
ton. A new serial is begun in that
number by Gelett Burgess and Will
Irwin, called "The Reign of Queen
Isyl", a gay, vigorous, human tale
of modern California and a fiesta
queen who vanished on the eve of
her coronation. The fantastic hu-
NOR of Gelett Burgess and the
sturdy realism of Will Irwin have
combined to make a charming story.
"The Marriage of Martin, by
Frederick Walworth, is lively
tale OF Irish twins who loved the
same girl. 1.-The Atavism of John
Tom Little Bear, by o. Henry, is
a humorous story of an Indian, who,
after receiving a college education,
becomes Indian again tor few
hours, much to the readers edifica-
tion and the Indian S credit. "The
Poet and the Hall Bedroom is a
dainty story by Emily Watson, full
of sentiment. 1.-THE Wooing OF All
TIE concludes in the July number.
1t is the strongest instalment of
strong story. The Indian snake
dance is given with such realism as
to suggest that the author must
have been an eyewitness.
