MNSOziNe headers.


DURING the past decade the number of maya
zines published in this country has almost doubled.
Where formerly the readers of magazines were num-
bered by the thousands, they be coun-
ted far into the millions. Indeed, few of them,
alone boast of million subscribers It is true that
many of these magazines do not rate high as litera
ture but the worst of them succeed in getting
a large paid circulation and wellpatronized
advertising section. It is the advertisements that
make these cheap magazines profitable. The
tents and the low price aids to exploit the
we'll written ads.
Truly this is "a magazine age. What has made
these magazines popular? Do they appeal to the
masses? In some respects they do. Their low price
is within the reach of the people. Those persons
whose purses far from pethorc, and who like to
read exciting adventure, find their pabuum in these
magazines During the of year Of
these magazines publish at least five serial Stories
When these stories bound in book form, they sell
for at least dollar each. So it be seen that the
one dollar magazine pays the reader big dividends.
In passing it would be we'll to state that few Of
the persons who write for these magazines are known
to the book world. Most of them are beginners or
men who have made failure writer's of good lit
erature. Their articles can be bought at the pub
lishers own price, and this is exceedingly low.
Oftentimes these writer's imagine they are genuses,
and that their little red-wagon is hitched to star.
Sooner later most of them hit the wall of experience
good and hard and wake up. If it not for this
everncreasing class of writer's the cheap magazine
of today would not be paying investment. AS con-
dtions are, most of them pay big profits to their
owners.

Prize FiShtiN6.


LIKE football, prize fights are now being frowned
upon by respectable people of all nationaties The
prize ring has evidently otlived it's usefulness Its
history can be traced back to the Olympic games of
ancient Greece. Since that period the game has
met with many vicissitudes. improvements are
noticeable but as to the ethics Of the manly art OF
sefdefense there certainly appears to be something
lacking.
Are prize fights necessity? Do they contrib
ute toward the physical development of the human
race? AS the game is conducted it could he
dispensed with without the culture of the age suffer-
ing any serious loss. 1t has no tendency toward de-
velopng the human Only its immediate
followers derive any benefit from the sport; and the
only aim they to have, is to get much money
as they can from the public.
If prize fights we're honestly conducted and the
rules diverged more toward scientific boxing, there
might be some hope of awakening interest in the
sport AS it now the audience is deceived and the
manly Of self defense far from what it should be.
Indeed, it has fallen low that deaths in the ring
are a common occurrence There are few men but
what like to witness good boxing match. They
want to the best win, but they object to be-
ing humbugged. It is deceit that is killing prize
fights.

instincts of gentleman in their makeup they will

do harbor such thoughts for years. They do not

It often happens, as the poet has aptly remarked
Revenge at first tho sweet, bitter ere long back

dom repays for the trouble in getting it, This
is true of most trivial MISUNDERSTANDING For one
to allow his mind to be dominated by such ignoble
thoughts, betrays not only ungenerous disposition
but weak mentality we'll.
To return good for evil is better than seeking
revenge. The following is related Of Pericles: "A
man once called at his home and abused him vio

not observe how late it was growing, and when he
had exhausted his passion. it was quite dark When

viewpoint may look at it.

Those Red Noses.


A WRITER in one of the current magazines
explains the phenomenon in regard to those deepred
noses which are such an abomination to their
owners. Many people are under the impression that
red nose is synonymous with excessive bibulous-
ness. This is not true. The author of the article
says this color is due to enlarged blood and
that intemperance has nothing to do with it. By
tapping these blood-vessels the nose assumes it's
normal appearance.
This will be welcome news to the thousands of
unfortunate beings who have suffered because of
their telltale proboscis. Think of the temperance
tracts they have received the innumerable jokes made
at their expense; and think how heartily the skeptic
al would laugh when told that the man touched
drop of liquor The owners of red noses have
to be happy. No more will we those bright ilu-
limitations that were the delight Of the small boy No
more will the teetotaler frown on seeing a man
approaching with red nose. No more will the good
deacons speculate among themselves as to how much
it cost so-andso to get the desired effect. The red
nose is doomed, but let us not weep.
