WITH OUR EXCHANGES. 



THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. 



The Saturday Evening Post is corning to 

 the front among- the publications that one 

 looks forward to receiving. Each number 

 seems better than the preceding one. and 

 the cost is exceedingly small. The editor- 

 ials are pspecially good. Beginning with 

 the fiction uumber. which came out Sept. 

 28th, the journal was increased from a 

 sixteen to a twenty-four page weekly, 

 with a double number every fourth week. 

 This will allow for the presentation of 

 more fiction and short stories. Ex-Senator 

 Ingall's paper on prominent men Gar- 

 field, Blaine and others, are splendidly 

 written and the lives he so dramatically 

 portrays are of keenest interest to those 

 who remember these noted men. 



MCCLURE'S MAGAZINE. 



The leading article, or I should say. 

 articles in the October number are about 

 Admiral Dewey. Very appropriate they 

 are in view of the recent home coming of 

 this great sea commander and the enthu- 

 siastic interest taken in him by the nation. 

 The first is a tribute to him written by 

 Gov. Roosevelt a hero writing of a hero. 

 The versatile governor, wlio is ranchman, 

 soldier, writer, politician, was assistant 

 secretary of the navy at the time when 

 Admiral Dewey was chosen for command 

 of the Asiatic squadron, and the article is 

 therefore all the more valuable. In the 

 one following, by Jos. L. Stickney, more 

 of the personality of the Admiral is 

 brought out and is fully as interesting as 

 the preceding one. Another who has 

 been almost as prominently before the 

 public eyes as Dewey. is Dreyfus, and the 

 "Scenes and Actors in the Dreyfus Trial'' 

 by G. W. Stevens, will appeal to the 

 readers. 



Mark Twain's contribution to the Cos- 



mopolitan on Christian Science has 

 brought this delightful humorist more 

 prominently to the fore and gives added 

 interest to the biographical sketch and 

 portrait of him which Samuel E. Moffett 

 gives us in McClures. In lighter vein are 

 the ' short stories an inimitable *'Boy- 

 ville" storv bv Wm. Allen White. 



SCRIBNER'S. 



For October gives us a beautiful colored 

 frontispiece, followed by '"The Water- 

 Front of New York" by Jesse Lynch 

 Williams, beautifully illustrated. Theatre 

 goers, especially the older ones among us, 

 will be entertained by the autobiograph- 

 ical sketch of Mrs. John Drew, which 

 begins in this number. In it are given 

 portraits of such well known perform- 

 ances, as Edwin Forrest, Booth, Fanny 

 Kemble. Charlotte Cushman and others. 

 The vaudiville theatre, that much ma- 

 ligned institution, gets a word of com- 

 mendation from Edward Milton Royle. 

 The "Chronicles of Aunt Minerva Ann" 

 furnish the necessary humerous vein 

 while a touch of pathos is given in the 

 tale by' Judson Knox on "The Man from 

 the Machine." There are other good 

 things too numerous to mention. 



THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL. 



The author of the famous "Mr. Dooley'' 

 Finley P. Dunne, has joined the literary 

 of The Ladies' Home Journal, and will 

 create this fall in that magazine a new 

 character, called "Molly Donahue: who 

 lives just across the street from Mr. 

 Dooley.'' Her creator says that Molly is 

 a bright, pretty girl of nineteen, who has 

 ambitions for the great world of women's 

 clubs, Browning societies, golf clubs, 

 woman's rights organizations, and the 

 ''high-toned literarv and social life'' which
