GREAT ART FEATURES 



Its illustrations will continue to be one of the Magazine's special points 

 of distinction. The best artists, no less than the best writers, will be con- 

 tributors through the coming year. 



C. D. GIBSON'S EXPERIENCES IN EGYPT 



Last spring Mr. Gibson visited Egypt in the interest of McClure's 

 Magazine. He studied the country not only from the point of view of the 

 artist, but from the point of view of a keen American observer. The recent 

 fall of Khartoum adds a peculiarly timely interest to Mr. Gibson's work. His 

 illustrations will be most interesting, and the articles will show him as a 

 writer of very unusual qualities. 



MORE LIFE MASKS OF GREAT AMERICANS 



When we published last year the series of Browere's Life Masks with 

 Mr. Charles Henry Hart's romantic story of how the masks were made, then 

 lost, and then recovered, it was remarked on every side that we had made a 

 valuable contribution to the pictorial history of the country. A second 

 series is in preparation, giving the living images of Dolly Madison, De Witt 

 Clinton, Gilbert Stuart, Martin Van Buren, Commodore David Porter, 

 Attorney-General Rush, Charles Francis Adams, and John Quincy Adams. 



SPLENDID SHORT STORIES 



Our short stories during the coming year will be of unusual distinction. 

 They will come from such writers as 



Rudyard Kipling Robert Barr Sarah Orne Jewctt 



William Allen White Stephen Crane Octave Thanet 



Hamlin Garland Cutcliffe Hyne Sarah Barnwell Elliott 



We shall publish also a number of striking stories by new writers, and 

 those short, dramatic episodes from real life which our readers have come to 

 know as a special feature of McClure's will be frequent. In this general 

 department we may mention 



STORIES OF THE EAST AND THE WEST 



These stories are by Mr. W. A. Fraser, a civil engineer, whose profession 

 has taken him into many parts of India and about all parts of Canada. Thus 

 he has gathered material for no end of good stories. He has had a good 

 friend and counselor in Mr. Kipling, who greatly admires his work. 



POLITICAL SHORT STORIES 



We have in hand for early publication three remarkable short stories of 

 political life: " In the Third House, '\" A Woman who Hesitated," and " In 

 the Last Ditch." They are by a new writer, Dr. G. W. Barr, of Keokuk. Iowa. 



NEW ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN KETTLE 



Cutcliffe Hyne's creation, " Captain Kettle, "is already a favorite with the 

 public. The author has written a new series of stories with Kettle as the hero. 



NEW "BOYVILLE" STORIES 



Mr. William Allen White, the author of the " Boyville" stories, those 

 most refreshing and delightful tales of real boy life, will be a frequent con- 

 tributor to the magazine during the coming year.
