Everybody's for January is the

announce that hereafter they will cele-

The American Magazine by its as
tonishing articles on Bar,arous Mex
leo has awakened throughout the
country an intense indignation. In its
January issue the editors bring for
ward further proofs of the truth of
their statements and they reaffirm that
slavery is existing at the present mo-
ment in Mexico, that that country is
rife with barbarous political persecu-
ton, that there is Imprisonment for
free speaking ard that personal and
political liberty are being suppressed.
Other features of this issue are: The

PUBLICATION NOTES

Hampton's Magazine made even a
greater hit than its management had
hoped for when it purchased Peary's
own story of his north pole discovery.
The management paid Peary S1.2O per
word for the story, a higher price
than Roosevelt gets on his articles. 1t
also insured Peary's life for $4,000 as
a precautionary measure. Now the
exposure of the frauds and impostures
of DR.. Cook has been exposed the
Peary story is more valuable than
ever. There are many other splendid
features, stories and some excellent
fiction in the January issue. The
reading public not only admires the
enterprise of the management, but its
selection of the material 1t runs,

Notions About Sleep

One of the rudeSt acts in the eyes Of
Il native of the Philippine Islands is to
step over person asleep Oh the floor.
Sleeping is with them very solemn
matter. They are strongly avcrse to
waking any one. the idea being that
during sleep the soul is absent from the
body and may. not have time to return
if slumber is Suddenly broken.
If you call upon native and are told
he is asleep You may rs well depart.
To get Il servant to rouse you, You
must give him the strictcst of orders.
Then at the time appointed he will
stand by your side and call, Senior,
senor!' repeatedly, each time more
loudly than before, until you are half
awake. Then he will return to the
low note and again raise his voice
gradually until you are fully conscious.

Mr.. liarriman's wealth IN real and per
