To thoso whom tho Christmas sea

Rex Beach contributes some more
AVhnt's in McCluro's?
Evory ono who hns thought of tho

ber of McCluro's Mngazlno. Mr.
Hendrlck t-llo of tho growth of tho
pension system among corporations

liams contributes a paper dealing
with alcohol as a chief causo of

uol Hopkins Adams shows how Co

number contains two Lincoln arti
cles; ono tho hlthorto unpublished
account of an eye-witness of tho as-
saBslnntlon of Mr. Lincoln nnd tho
other tho Btory of "Our American

tho night of tho tragedy. An at
tractive feature of tho number is a

usually Interesting list of short stor ster
ies: "Tho MIstlotoo Bough," by

ing of tho Ranks,"' by Mnrgarot Wil
son; "Best," by Adolino Knnpp, and
"Tho Countess of Overland Halt," by
L. II. BlckforJ.
though at Intervals a trifle prolix,
abounds In drnmatlc situations nnd
torso epigrams. It Is a book In which
Lprohably vory fow rcadors will bo
disappointed, as unfortunntely with
bo much fiction nowndays.
.The vigorous motif, treating as It
does, certain plinBes of tho box ques
tion under present conditions, and
handling thnt problem without
gloves, though with veiled fiutlro for
tho modern free-lovo theories, raises
it at onco from tho rcilnis of the
commonplaco novel, of which tho
public Is bo lnoffably weary. At tho
same tlmo tho truo Btory tollpr's in
stinct, surrounding a plot, has suf
ficed to warn tho nuthor from tho
pitfall of ovor-emphnslzlng tho prob
lem nnd minimizing tho story.
Tho dollar mnrk and tho scnrlet
letter aro Inseparably linked In its
daring exposo of Wall street nnd
high life's marital Infelicities, yet
tho Btory Is told with duo regard for
decency and without tho filth which
clings to books of a certain stamp.
Though full of action whoreln Inter
est never flags, it Is n novel that
makes ono think, nnd thnt ono should
be better, not worse, for having read.
