making OF the April number of the

in The Disinherited Fathers. Articles
in the lighter vein are Dream Travels,
a woman's naive confessions; A Cradle
of Great Americans. the remarkable
story Of little Indiana town that has
produced more famous men than any
other place in America; California's
First Native Governor, and A Contest
ed Partnership the story of how a man

The Pilgrim for April is opened by
the editor, Willis ]. Abbott, with com
ment on Men and Matters of Mo
ment," in which are touched upon
frankly and sanely the various events
Of the month that would seem to be of
vital significance to the people Of this
country. In fiction the Pilgrim for
April is especially rich. First among
its stories is The Tiredness ofAiaude,' -
by Edward Stratton Holloway. which
will be read with especial interest by
young urban couples of certain sort.
Another adventure Of the versatile Wig
orous Daunt recounts his experience
with an admiral of the Turkish navy. A
splendid story of the plains is by Ar
thur Stringer and is called "The Gal
lantry of Spider Griffin" Hitchcock, ,"
a story with an unusual motive is by
T. X. Hedrick, new name to readers
of the Pilgrim. The April instalment
of the Pilgrims Patriotic Calendar has
to do with Benjamin Franklin, and the
last paper of the two dealing with the
literary women Of Chicago conveys in
teresting information concerning Lii
liam Bell. Gertrude Potter Daniels,
Clara Louise Burnham and Myrtle
Reed. The many departments that in
the past have met with such favor are
