SATURDAY EVENING POST 



A recent issue of the Saturday Evening 

 Post contains an article by John Ingalls 

 entitled "Famous Feuds." in which the 

 three men who were once so prominently 

 before the public, are again brought to 

 mind by this brief history of their bitter 

 enmity. The three men are Elaine, 

 Conklin and Lamar. Those who can 

 remember the circumstance will like to 

 read the account of the encounter between 

 Conklin and the latter in the Senate, and 

 also to read Elaine's sarcastic utterances 

 against Conklin. Sarcasms so keenly 

 pointed as to end any semblance of friendly 

 feeling that had ever existed between the 

 two men and make them life-long enemies. 



MCCLURE'S MAGAZINE. 



Those who read the delightul "Boy- 

 ville" story which appeared in an issue of 

 Mc(Jhire's last winter will welcome 

 another by the same author in the July 

 issue, and if that is possible, a better 

 one William Allen White understands 

 boy nature and "James Sears: A Naughty 

 Person," who has to churn on Saturday 

 morning and who, while thus engaged, 

 "promised God that if he would let him 

 grow up his little boy should never have 

 to churn," is familiar to us all. He is 

 such a natuial, lively boy; his naughti- 

 ness is so boyish, so familiar that the tale 

 is a delightful one from beginning to 

 end. 



In view of the commotion caused by the 

 automobile in some of the parks, the 

 leading article in McClure's as to "The 

 Automobile in Common Use," by Ray S. 

 Baker, will interest many. He tells of its 

 cost, how it is operated and what it will 

 do three things which any one who is 

 progressive enough to care to read of new 

 inventions, will be glad to learn. The 

 article is well illustrated. "The Un- 

 solved Problems of Astronomy," by Prof. 

 Simon Mewcomb; the continuation of the 

 story of the "Gentleman From India," 

 and the papers regarding Lincoln, with 

 short stories make up the very in eresting 

 July number. 



THE FORUM. 



The Forum has a number of interesting 



WITH OUR EXCHANGES. 



articles this month. Among them are: 

 "The Trust Problem and its Solution," 

 by ex-Senator W. Peffer; "Lord Kosebery 

 and the Premiership," by H. W. Lucy, 

 who contributes the weekly "Essence of 

 Parliment" to Punch: "Was Columbus 

 Morally Irresponsible?" by Prof. C. Lom- 

 broso, the eminent criminologist: and 

 "The Future of the Negro." by W. H. 

 Council!, the colored presidentof the Agri- 

 cultural and Mechanical College of 

 Negroes, at Normal. Alabama. 



In an article entitled "The White Race 

 and the Tropics," the Hon. Truxon Beale 

 meets the objection to expansion, made 

 by many, that the white race can never 

 colonize the tropics. Mr. Beale argues 

 that the advances of science, and modern 

 inventions tending to minimize the actual 

 manual labor devolving upon those en- 

 gaged in agriculture, must' before long 

 I'ender out-door occupations as little 

 dangerous to health in tropics as they are 

 in some parts of the United States during 

 the summer months. Further, that just 

 as the dangers of smallpox have been 

 reduced to a minimum, so yellow fever and 

 other tropical scourges will be stamped 

 out, or at least reduced to insignificant 

 proportions. 



LADIES HOME JOURNAL 



"Half way between Munich and Salzburg 

 is the third castle Herrenchiemsee built 

 by Ludwig II," writes Professor J. H. Gore 

 in the July Ladies' Home Journal. "This 

 great structure is incomplete, fortunately 

 for overtaxed Bavaria, for no one could sur. 

 mise what its cost would have been. One 

 room alone the renowned bedchamber 

 could not be duplicated for less than a mil" 

 lion dollars. The vaulted ceiling is one 

 great allegorical painting-, the rounded cor- 

 nice is covered with a score of richly 

 framed mural paintings, the walls are pan- 

 els of hammered gold of inUicate designs, 

 and even the floor is of marvelous pattern- 

 The only suggestion of the purpose of this 

 wonderful room is the sixty-thousahd-dol- 

 lar bed with its canopy more magnificent 

 than any that covers a regal throne.
