Francis Willing Wharton has new
novelette, in the September number of
Lippincott's Magazine entitled ''The
Deep Waters of the Proud" This
title is, We believe, taken from one of
the Psalms of David TT DIS the sorry
of young man who, with the whole
world at his feet, hears from his physi-
clans that he is going blind. With the
promise of twelve months of light be-
fore the darkness finds him, he re-
solves to enjoy all he can get out of
living and then-die game. How he
is turned from his purpose belongs to
the author to reveal. The GREATNESS
climax is handled with the greatest
cleverness, while the tale throughout
excels in power and interest.

one of the most attractive selections
of short fiction to be found anywhere

! McClure's Magazine for September
is a vigorous expression of American
life and interest, part fact, part fiction,
all entertaining. Several serious arti-
cles give it commanding importance
and character. OF these William
Allen White writes of Roosevelt and
the Postal Frauds" and in a clear and
concise maner he tells the engrossing
story of this great crime against the
government and the manner of its ex-
posture. But he does more. He reads
the lesson Of these events and keenly
charactenzes the men who made them
1t is in all an article which every
American citizen will want and ought
to read. Ida M. Tarbell gets at the
very heart of the trust question in her
Standard Oil History in a mastery
paper on "The Price of OIL" Here is
what the consumer wants to know,
how the trust affects prices. Miss
Tarbeu traces the variation of oil
prices under the Standards manipula-
tons from the beginning and draws
convincing conclusions from an over
whelmng array of facts, evidently
wrought out with infinite pains.
The secret method of multiplying
millions by which the enormous fur
tunes Of Standard Oil and other big
financial institutions were created
veritably out of nothing is the text
Of the September instalment of
''Frenzied Finance" by Thomas w.
Lawson, in Everybody's Magazine. It
is no exageration to say that the arti-
Gle is of the most sensational inter-
est and Importance. The story of how
Standard Oil set about getting the
control of banks and trust and insur-

the upbuilding of the greatest financial
power in America to-day, makes q
revelation of the most startling signif.

finance offer no difficulties Mr.. Lawson
cannot get past, and his explanations
are extraordinarily clear and convinc
ing. He frankly states his own par
ticipation in the Amalgamated DEAL
declares that the various partners, in
