The name of the Missouri Bee- Keep- 

 er has been changed to the Progressive 

 Bee-Keeper. Friend Quigley's paper 

 is certainly just what its name implies. 



There was not the usual crop of new 

 bee papers started last month that the 

 new year generally brings.

MR. HOWELL'S NEW WORK. 



The announcement that Mr. How- 

 ells will leave Harper's Magazine, to 

 take editorial charge of the Cosmopol- 

 itan, on March 1st, calls attention to 

 the process of building up the staff of 

 a great magazine. Probably in no 

 monthly has the evolution been so dis- 

 tinctly under the eyes of the public as 

 in the case of the Cosmopolitan, The 

 first step after its editorial control was 

 assumed by Mr, John Brisben Walker, 



was to add to it Edward Everett Hale, 

 who took charge of a department call- 

 ed "Social Problems," subjects con- 

 cerning which the greatest number of 

 people aie thinking today, Some 

 months later, a department was estab- 

 lished called " The Review of Current 

 Events." To take charge of this, a 

 man was needed who should be famil- 

 iar not only with the great events of 

 the past thirty years, but who knew 

 personally the leading men of b th the 

 U dted States and Europe who could 

 interpret motives and policies. Murat 

 Halstead accepted this position with 

 the distinct understanding that his 

 monthly review should be philosophi- 

 cal and never partisan. The next step 

 in the history of the Cosmopolitan, was 

 the placing of the review of the intel- 

 lectual movement of the month in the 

 hands of Mr. Brander Matthews, who 

 fur some time has been recognized as 

 one of the two or three ablest critics in 

 the United States. 



Finally came the acceptance of the 

 editorship conjointly with Mr. Walk- 

 er, by Mr. Wm. Dean Howells. Mr. 

 Howells, who is recognized universal- 

 ly as the foremost American of letters, 

 upon the expiration of his contract 

 with Harper Brothers, on the first of 

 March will take in hand the destinies 

 of a magazine which promises to exer- 

 cise a share of influence with the read- 

 ing classes of the United States. His 

 entire services will be given to the 

 Cosmopolitan, and everything he 

 writes will appear in this magazine dur- 

 ing the continuance of his editorship.
