McClure's Magazine for May makes
the most casual reader stop and think.
| AS usual it covers wide range of hui
man interest but the impressive effect
lof the number is produced BY another
appalling picture OF the results Of our
industrial warfare. It is found in Ray
Stannard Bakers article on the great
labor conflict in Colorado between the
striking miners and mine operators
under the fitting title, '"The Reign of
Lawlessness." The inside narrative
of the Hayes-Tilden election contest,
written from new sources of informa-
ton and hitherto unpublished. facts
by Joseph M. Rogers. In an entirely
non-partisan manner tells how this
crisis in American political history
was met and civil war averted. Nc

writer's, several of whom appear to
great advantage in this number. Myra
Kelley, who in her own unique vein is
close upon Mrs. Martin and Josephine

comic sketch of East Side school life
in New York in III r. H. The Prince
Of Hester Street." Henry c. Rowland,
who by the way, is himself a doctor,
mixes love and therapeutics delight
fully in ''The Doubling of the Doctor"

recognition with his stories of the
west, now seeks Alaska for the back
ground and in North of Fifty-three'
describes thrilling Klondike adven-
ture. Alvah Milton Geer has another
! of his popular railroad stories located
ION the Saddle Bow Range" in the
far southwest. Like Mr.. Beach's it is
story of strenuous heroism.
Forrest Crissey's new book. '.Tat-
things of Retired Politician" is we'll
named. Some one who knows all the
ms and outs of politics has been stat-
Ting" and while the identity of the
characters is disguised as far as pos
sible, the anecdotes and stories relate
to real experience. Thompson &
Thomas, Chicago, announced the pub
LEGATION of the book April rs, but so
large an edition was made necessary
by the advance sales, its appearance
has been somewhat delayed.
