What's in

McClure's Magazine begins the
year with a number filled with
American activity. and decency.
From the first article telling Of the
daily life of probably the most con-
sistegtly active man in the country,
the president, to the editorials at the
end which preach the gospel of de-
cent, upright living, there is not a
page bare of either instruction, APP
peal, or healthy entertainment.
Lincoln Steffens writes of Mayor
Mark Pagan of Jersey City. Ray
Stannard Baker presents the third
article of his series, THE Railroads
ON Trial" making astonishing ex'
posures this time of the strange, dew
ious methods of the big shippers t.
hold up the railroads and the public
and to gobble wealth from boil
through. the private car abuses
Henry Beach Needham in an article
illustrated with rare portraits ant
photographs of Mr.. Roosevelt tell
of the routine of the presidents life
of the marvellous amount of work h.
manages to accomplish in a brie
time, and of the diversity of his in
terestS.
The "Reminiscences of Carl Schur:
continue, dealing with the vital
events from which the present Ger
man empire drew its life.
Steward Edward White begins ir
the January number a new series o.
short stories, woven together by {
slight chain of narrative, with the
title Arizona Nights" Each stor!
is to be complete in itself. "Uncle
,Jim's Yarn, the Indian Story" the
first of the new series, borrows life
from the out-of-doors; it breathes
rough health and contentment, ane
is full of the true spirit OF the west.
George Randolph Chester, whose
Bargain Day at TUFTS House" was
welcomed as the most entertaining
farce of the summer, mas scored
again in ~"Quarantined Rivals,
which appears in the January Nc
Clure's. The story of how two young
men in love with the same girl, who
has Just Q%uarreled with both of them
are quarantined in her house by rea-
son of the cooks sister having small
box, has possibilities all of which the
author sounds. Then there is "Ellif
Johnson's Book" by Myra William
Jarrell-another sort of story with
real pathos; ''The Heart of Eric" by
Gilmore Elliott Peake; "The Lady
Across the Aisle" by Ellis Parker
Butler, and why Rifles Deserted
by H. T. Greene, a strong story of
the American occupation of the Phil
ippines.
The poems of. this number are
Song" by A. e. Housman; "Thf
Guild Tunes" by MORA O'Neill; and
"a Colloquy," by Louise Imogen
Quincy.
There is an editorial on the True
Opportunity of the American Youth"
and another on the Durable Salts
factions of Life" in which is quoted
President Eliot's address to the un
der-graduates at Harvard at the OPP
e1ing Of the university last fall.

Aftermath,

One man gave lavishly of gold
And builded tower and town;
Then smiled content to think his deeds
Should win him great renown.
Another, poor in worldly gain.
Gave all within his ken
OF strength and tenderness and truth.
To help his fellowmen.
The record of the rich mans gifts
Lies on a dusty shelf:
The poor man lives in countless hearts,
Because he gave-himself!

That seems to me the proper time TO

! much dislike to wake up with a start,
And leave the downy mattress with a
leap.
1 like to lie abed till eight or nine,
Or even ten. If l can have a chance.
And much il roubles me to have nv rest
Disturbed by some unkind, d~iscordant
voice.
1t makes me angry when q needless noise
Awakens me before the proper time.
In such a case the awful things think
Could hardly be referred to in this rhyme,
So everybody in the neighborhood
VIII kindly due precautions take
70 let no careless voice disturb my rest,
And let me sleep until l choose to wake.

What, IndeedP

I'll bet the little Japs are glad
To see their daddies come
A-marching down the street and home.
To the tapping of the drum.
And there are tears in baby eyes
For those who never come
A-marching proudly home again.
To the tapping of the drum.
Since Japanese do never kiss,
When one comes home again
And lifts his baby in his arms
What do they both do then?

The Fires of Autumn, and in wreaths are

For great Michabo sits mid falling leaves
And browsing lights the Peace Pipe of the

Spreads through the land, and lingering

With laggar6 footsteps, yet awhile to

Amid the light of Autumn trees ablaze.

Last Words of Henry Irving.

Into thy hands, o Lord, into thy hands"
Thrice fitting words, apt climax from the
lips
OF one just passing meath the nights
eclipse.
Prophetic utterance from one who stands
Upon the mystic border of the lands
Earth's pilgrims travel to. The spirit
slips
The light control of life, its loves, friend
ships.
Its tolls and triumphs and its high de-
mands.
The stage Of life, the mimic stage of art
Quilted at once, or ere its splendor
dimmed
Or tinsel furnished, while from his great
heart
He with consummate speech and gesture
limned
The dreams and passions and the tragedies
Of life's great stage, its sweetness and its
lees.

R OF THE DAY.
The Editor and the Advertise

AlC GdALOA aA1u LA6 AQNtIIl6GEe
Once on a time I knew a man
Who said 1t didn't pay
To advertise the goods he had
To sell or trade away.
To prove that he was off his base
And make him clearly see,
l gave him half a page of space
And Jet him have it free.
1t almost scared him into fits
To see himself displayed
As l displayed him, but be felt
Its influence on his trade.
l kept it up, his business doomed,
The customers swooped down
Upon his store until he had
The biggest rush In town.
One day l went around TO call
And found him on the run,
With people waiting for their turn
When those ahead were done
well, we'll" l cried. in great delight
To see things boom that way,
Don't advertising pay, old man?
What have you got to say?"
l thought he'd like my work so much,
And think my plan so nice.
That he'd not only praise my wares,
But pay me double price.
And did he do It? Listen, please:
thought that I'd drop dead
When suddenly he turned on me
And vigorously said:
Take out that advertisement, quick;
Goldern yer pesky skin,
I'll never git a chance to rest
Ez long ez it stays In"

I'm looking over the reports of the past
year." said Secretary Hutchins. of the
Relief society, .'I find the affairs of the
society to be in better condition than ever
before and the support we have received
during the last twelve months is certainly
encouraging. More families were provid-
ed for this Christmas than ever before
and the list of children who received pres
.ents on our recomm endation is the larg-
est in the history of the society.
There have been an unusual number of
destitute cases this year, but owing to
the increased generosity of the citizens
we have been able to meet all demands in
a way that has been very encouraging
to us.
People are already coming in to pay
their subscriptions for this year and
many new faces are seen. 1t seems the
general public realizes that we have ac-
complished a little good and are taking
a greater interest in the work we are try
ing to do. Every day receive letters

The month of August holds the record
for the largest number of coroner S cases,
with total of forty one; October comes
second with thirty-fiye; September and
December each had thirty three May
had thirty-two; March, thirty; July,
twenty-nine; January and April. twenty
eight; June, twenty seven; February,
twenty-four, and November twenty
three.
During the year 101 autopsies were per-
formed and ten inquests were held. The
coroner was called upon during the year
to investigate eight cases of holnicideS,
four of which occurred outside of the
city. Carl A. Swanson's death at st.
Joseph's hospital in January, caused by a
blow received at Cannon Falls, was in
vestigated and an inquest was held. Louis
Mobergss body was found in box car
at the Minnesota Transfer and it was
found that he had been killed ct Owa-
tonna Anthony r. Wisch, soldier pris-
ener at Fort Smelling, was shot by a
guard while attempting to escape Fred
Watson was killed in barn at Merriam
Park in February as result of a blow
with an iron pipe Esther Coll, a young
girl, died as result of d Grim
.inal operation.- Ruth Teachout, whose
body was found at the st. Paul boom,
was declared by the coroner's jury to
have been murdered, but the murder
theory was discredited by the Mime
apolis police, who asserted that she had
committed suicide. Joseph Phillips was
stabbed to death near Como park in July,
and Percy A.. Young was shot in a room

All the prominent merchants and many

Ing to live in an old shack on the wagon
road somewhere between st. Paul and
Saltwater. The woman was poorly
dressed and represented herself to be the
mother of six small children. She further
said that her husband was dying at the
city hospital in st. Paul and that she and
her family were both starving and freez-
ing. At all the stores she was kindly re-
ceived and given small. amount of mon

visions or clothing. The fraud was finally
discovered when the Relief society, of
