Announcements 



In early numbers will be found the following attractions: 



RUDYARD KIPLING'S NEW NOVEL 



Just before going to the Doer War, Kipling completed his revision of the longest 

 story he has yet written. It will appear serially in McCutre's Magazine, commenc- 

 ing this fall. It is a tale of life in India, the land where the author spent his early 

 youth, which he knows so thoroughly, and where his earliest literary efforts were made. 

 The story will be- fully illustrated! and will be found to be of extraordinary interest. 



COLONIAL FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS 



this number will be found the second of a series of stories of early American 



historv, by the 



Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady 



the most popular historical writer of the present day. Mr. Brady was educated at 

 Annapolis and served some years in the navy, and was chaplain of a volunteer regiment 

 in the Spanish war, so that he writes of the strenuous life with authority as well as with 

 charm. The present series deals with famous fighters in Colonial days, and besides 

 Wolfe, includes Frontenae, De Soto, and Sir Henry Morgan. Mr. Brad)' has had access 

 to new historical material and writes of the almost forgotten heroes in a vivid and entertaining style. 



STORIES OF CHICAGO 



In the next issue will be found the first of 



ries of stories of Chicago life written by 



Miss Edith Wyatt 



of that ' city, and illustrated from life by Frederic R. Gruger, who spent some time in Chicago for 

 the purpose, working under the author's direction. These are not fiction of the ordinary sort. The 

 author does not tell her stories merely as creative works of the imagination. She strives to give exact 

 impressions of the various phases of life in that wonderful city, and uses the story form only as the best 

 medium for her purpose. She paints her portraits sometimes in delicate tints, sometimes in the 

 impressionistic method, and sometimes in a bold, vigorous coloring. These will form a new contribu- 

 tion to Western literature and will attract unusual attention. 



POLITICIANS AS THEY ARE 



1'robably no article about a politician, written from a non-partisan standpoint, 

 ever created such widespread attention as that on Bryan in the July issue of 



McCluke's Magazine, written by 



William Allen White 



the vigorous young editor of the Emporia (Kansas) Gazette. In the next issue 

 will be found the second of the series, and others are to follow. Mr. White is a 

 man of views, but not of prejudices. His candor is complete, his style graphic, 

 and his sympathies broad. In that refreshing manner of his he makes his subjects living beings to those 

 who have thought of them as mere abstractions. The reader can claim almost personal intimacy with the 

 ' men he describes. A number of other pen portraits are to follow.
