Mark Twain's story in the Christmas
number of Harper's Magazine lay in
his mind twenty years before he wrote
it, and when he finally set it down on
paper the words came without break.
nor did he change syllable of it after
it was written. With one exception, he
says, this is the only story he was ever
able to write in this way, as usually he
has to work hard over his short stories,
writing and rewriting them. The story
is entitled "a Dogs Tale" and begins
thus: MY father was st. Bernard,
my mother was a collie, but / am
Presbyterian" The development of the
story holds surprises for the reader.
There are twenty-five items on the
contents page of the December Leslie's
Monthly, including eight pages of color
| work and nine stories, not to mention
striking article on the Degradation of
Wall Street" and other interesting fea-
| lures.
| There are 253, 200 copies of the Decem-
Der Leslies Monthly, and the number
contains twenty-five stories and articles
and more than eighty illustrations. The
ten-cent magazines certainly show
great growth this year.
The Christmas flavor in Leslies for
December is sustained by delightful
little story called Memories" with il
Illustrations in color, by e. Benson
Knipe, by a series of drawings in color
by Charles Livingston Bull, called 1.-THE
Wild Beasts Christmas Dinner" and

The new publishers of Everybody's
Magazine declare the holiday issue of
the publication to be much the best they
have yet produced. 1t is an especially
lively and entertaining magazine, full
of really good stories, clever pictures
and well-written and timely articles.
In Everybodys one never finds a dis
tinguished name tackled to dull tale.
Among it's contributors are the ablest
writers of the day, but it is in connec-
ton with their best work, not their pot
boilers. The reading public, which has
become familiar with o. Henry, Juliet
Wilbor Tompkins and T. Walworth, for
instance, will find in the holiday issue
the most successful story each has writ
ten this year. The other items, in
long table of contents, seem to be in
the same category, notably Booth Tar
kingdoms BOSS Gorgett,' the first piece
of short fiction the author of Mon
sieur Beaucaire," has powerfully writ
ten in the last three years. It is a po-
litical story. Another big thing the
magazine has is Eugene Burnand's pic
lures of Bible scenes, reproduced for
the first time in America. Burnand is
the greatest painter of sacred subjects
since the old masters. In this number
new department, 1.-THE Players a
gossipy resume of theatrical doings, by
Hartley Davis, set off with superb pic
lures of the stars and lesser stage lu-
minaries, is inaugurated.
With the December issue of the Red
Book, Chicago's new and popular short
story magazine, which is meeting
with the success it surely deserves, is
presented highly artistic supplement;
a picture study by Stein of Milwaukee.
