The opening page of the November
Success" brings to mind the fact that
Thanksgiving is once more rolling
round, and that we must prepare for
the festive turkey. Strickland w.
Gillian, the president of the American
Humorists, contributes a poem to this
page in Success which contains
certain delicate humor that will put
all who read it in good spirits. 1t
leads on to better things in the maya
zine, among which we find an article
entitled "The Presidency" analyzing
the principal presidential candidates,
by Alfred Henry Lewis, whose cam
paign writings have been very notice
able this year. "The Worlds Fair as
Progress-promoter," by Walter Well

Louis Exposition means to the ad
vancement of civilization and indus
trial progress. Mr.. Wellmen has gone
through the various industrial exhibits
with rare discrimination, and he has
come to the conclusion that the Fair
proves that the inventions and discov-
| cries which are doing most to change
| the world are radium, the submarine
boat, wireless telegraphy, the aero
plane, the automobile, and. the gas
producer-a small machine to replace
coal for manufacturing uses. He also
says that from careful observation the
Japanese exhibit is by far the best,
and distinctly shows that Japan has
become world factor. E. N. Sweet,

on the manufacturing of currency at
Washington, showing that it is abso.

worn out by the public.
The instalment of "Frenzied Fin

Everybody's Magazine offers what is
probably the best account of finan-
cial war ever printed Mr.. Lawson is
now we'll into the main course of his
narrative which leads by way of the
Boston gas fights to Amalgamated
Copper. Addicks has persuaded him
to take charge of his-Addick' Soon
test with Henry H. Rogers and Stand
ard Oil,' and for pure love Of combat
the Boston financier, with all his
forces, has come to the rescue Of the
Delaware 'buccaneer. It is an excit-
ing passage in which he tells of the
attacks and retreats, the tolls and
stratagems of this campaign, and for
interest and thrill it holds it's own
with the real fighting in ''The Three
Musketeers." Finally, Lawson and
Rogers come together and the dia'
logue between them as they proceed
to adjust their differences is one OF
the most striking chapters in the story
The drama of the Standard Oil mag
nate tempting Lawson away from Ad
dicks, and offering him millions to
join the STANDARD Oil" band. and the
Boston financier, refusing, is described
in language at once direct, forcible and
picturesque, and once more forces
home to the readers mind the fact that
truth is indeed stranger than fiction
The Lawson article is but one feature
of an excellently balanced and read
able magazine. .-.-." . $50 F..
