McClure's for 1908.

Plans for McClure's for the coming
year have just been announced. The
magazine, judging from it's prospectus,
will continue to deal with great and i'm
portant subjects. The first of these be-
gan in the November number. It is a
series of articles on "Great American
Fortunes"
This series of articles by Burton j.
Hendrick will tell the story of the most
wonderful era of fortune building in
history. The development of virgin
continent of boundless wealth within the
memory of men now living is an indus
trial feat unparalleled in the history of the
world. The record of this development
is the history of a great political, fnacial,
and Industrial struggle. But added to
the absorbing historical interest of these
articles is spice of romance and adj
venture which makes fiction seem fiat.
Here are Arabian Nights daeams come
true. Girdlipg great continent from
sea to sea with iron rails, stringing it
with lights, taking from the heart of it

gourd like growth of great nation, are
the facts in the background of fabulous

five millions upward.

traordinary popular interest aroused by
the two series already published has de-
cided the editors to add several other
articles during 1908.

difficult to overstate the Importance Of
Ellen Terry's Memoirs they are a
chronicle of the literary and artistic de-
