Literary News and Notes.

Judge Shute, EIWaru SITaCeMcyei,
Everett T. Tomlinson, and HOratio AL
ger, Jr., occupy prominent positions IN
the November American Boy with
their stirring serials. Scarcely second
ary to these are short stories whose
very titles should stir up the interest
of the boys: "a Visit from the Chey-
ennes"; ''The Lard Eaters; ''The So
ciety of the F. F. F.; "a Fight With
a Panther; can Historic Walking
Match; ''Tim's Pig; ''For the Glory
of St. Mary's," fine football tale.
There is enough of adventure and hu-
NOR to please boys, and those who are
serious minded will find some things to
keep them busy in the more than fifty
items devoted to school, travel, blog-
raphy, electricity, mechanics, amateur
journalism, and other boy hobbies.

aspect. The poets in this notable issue
are Henry van Dyke and Mabel Earle,
and the story-writers, Elsie Slngmas,,
ter, Harry James Smith, and Hildegard
Brooks.
The National Magazine for Novem-
Der has distinctly harvest festival
THANKSGIVING spirit. Its editor, Joe
Mitchell Chapple, has taken trip back
to his old home in North Dakota, riding
through the great wheat fields and rich
country of that remarkable State, and
he draws a vivid picture of the wealth
and grandeur which he found (mOst OF
the time looking from the windows OF
a Pullman) and this he compares with
the conditions more than twenty years
ago when he went with his fathers
household goods, and farm machinery
and stock into the great wheat State
Senator Hansbrough and MI. W. H.
kellogg are also contributors to the
North Dakota articles, which form a
great feature of this number. These
