HJWi 



HE OCTOBER number of McClure's 



Magazine will contain, among several 

 unusually good stories, one entitled "THE 

 HORSE-THIEF: Ho<0) the County Assessor and His 

 Partner Came to Leai'e Montana" by E. Hough. 

 It tells of a ludicrous, though nearly successful, attempt of 

 four Western ranchmen with a genuine love of out-door 

 sport to "run off a bunch" of over two hundred horses. 

 The story is remarkable for its brilliancy and animation of 

 style; even Kipling never wrote anything more humorously 

 and vividly dramatic. The illustrations are by H. R. Poore. 



rHE quaint old city of Jena, in the Duchy of Saxe- 

 Weimar, Germany, is chiefly famous for three things 

 — for Napoleon's famous Battle of Jena, for its Univer- 

 sity, and for its glass works. Jena lenses have a distinction the 

 world over among men of science. Ray Stannard Baker will write 

 of "CASTING A GREAT LENS," and will describe in detail the 

 methods employed at the Schott Works and at the Carl Zeiss Optical 

 Works. The article will be copiously and attractively illustrated with 

 drawings made on the spot by George Varian. 



CONAN DOYLE will write a paper 



embodying some of his own personal 

 observations on the status of the English 

 South Africa and the manner in which 

 some of the more important manoeuvres 

 were conducted. He criticises the 

 yarious departments of the service in 

 detail, and devotes a good deal of atten- 

 tion to the lessons which the war has 

 taught. Moreover, he suggests more 

 than one method by which the effi- 

 ciency of the army may be increased. 

 Instead of making the army larger, 

 he suggests reducing it and picking 

 the men with trreater care. 



i i OIR HENRY MORGAN AND HIS BUCCANEERS," by Re-v. Cyrus Towhstnd Brady, 



O is a graphic account in Mr. Brady's well-known vigorous and animated manner or some of the 

 exploits of the most bloodthirsty and wicked of all the buccaneers. It describes Morgan's expedi- 

 tion in Central America, the sacking of Panama, the "Gem of the Pacific," and many other deeds of 

 violence. It is a stirring story of a man who was not merely a brutal pirate, but also, as his victories over 

 the Spanish armies showed, a valiant soldier as well. The pictures are by George Gibb ? . 



/ CT-'RUE STORIES FROM THE UNDER-WORLD," Josiah Flynt's and Francis Walton's 



/ tales of criminal life based on their own actual experiences, will be represented in the October 



issue by '■'■Found Guilty," a story of the outcome of the murder of a New York policeman. 



These tales throw wonderful light on the relations of the policemen with professional criminals. Moreover, 



thev are well told stories, and they possess remarkable realistic force. 



Besides these articles and stories, the October issue "will contain many others 

 possessing qualities of especial interest. McClure's Magazine is published on 

 the first of every month, and is on sale at all news-stands.
