z r a T. !
The December issue of Everybodys'
Magazine will certainly attract atten-
ton, not only because Of the sensa-
tional interest of the instalment of
Thomas w. Lawson's "Frenzied FL
nance" but through the distinction
and excellence Of its general contents
and the beauty of its illustrations.
Some of the best fiction writer's before
the public are represented within it's
covers. The instalment of "Frenzied
Finance" in this number is perhaps
the most startling and specific Mr..
Lawson has yet given. 1t goes to
prove his oft-repeated assertion that
what has been written of his story
is no more than stage setting for what
is to come. The vicissitudes of Bay
State Gas continue to be the main
theme, but new character, H. M.
Whitney of Boston is introduced, and
We are led through a series of ex-
traordinary transactions to the bribery
of the Massachusetts Legislature Of
1896. The open and business-like way
in which the votes of the members
were purchased is described in pic
turesque detail. The disappointment
of the conspirators and the mysterious
disappearance of the lawyer and his
secretary, who had been the chief fac
tors in the transactions, from a de-
movement more strange and sensa-
tional than ever novelist invented.
Mr.. Lawson, in his critical department,
enters freely and frankly into a dis
cussion of the management of the
great life insurance corporations and
develops an interesting controversy
with Pesident John A. Mccall of the
New York Life.
The Christmas issue of The Metro
politan Magazine contains illustrations
in color by number Of the best
known artists who draw for the maya
zines. A charming paper by John
Corbin entitled "A Boys Eye-View of
the Circus" as illustrated in full color
by Jules Guerin. Mr. Corbin de-
scribes visits to the circus which he
made upon representations of Toby
Hamilton, the world-famous press
agent. Life behind the scenes, the
pleasures and the woes of the folk of
the big show, old friends in the arena
and out of it, are described by one
who looks through boys eyes yet
cannot forget the judgment of the
adult. "Carou the Cast $500 prize
story by w. A. Fraser, is illustrated in
color by Charles Livingston Bull,
whose work is too well known to need
comment. "Once Upon a Time" an
ideal story of love and life by Richard
lie Gallienne, past master of imagery,
is illustrated in full color by Maxfield
Parrish, whose wonderful tint effects
have caused so much comment during
the last two years. An Uncle Re-
mus" story, than which Joel Chandler
Harris has never done better, is en-
titled Brother Rabbit and the Gizzard-
Eater" Thomas Nelson Page contri-
butes charming "Old South" study,
AN Old Neighborhood in Virginia"
being his theme. Charles G. D. Rob-
erts in 1.-THE Terror OF the Air. has
done a little masterpiece in describing
the pursuit of a wild duck by an
Arctic goshawk.
