THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEIER. 



HE WAS SKINNED ALIVE. 



If our readers want to know who was 

 skinned alive, when he was skinned aliye, 

 and why he was skinned alive, they should 

 purchase a copy of Stanley Wood's Great 

 Divide, for March, or send a dime to the 

 publishers, Denver, Colorado, for March 

 number as a sample copy. With this num- 

 ber is an art supplement, in seven colors, of 

 Trout Lake, in the silver San Juan, which 

 is alane worth the price of a year's sub- 

 scription. 



" HURRY UP." 



When the attempt was made to give 

 twice a s many illustrations in a monthly 

 magazine as were ever before published, 

 the " know it all " people said, " it won't 

 last;" but when the Cosmopolitan went even 

 beyond that figure and continued to thrive 

 and grow more popular, the fact became 

 apparent that not only could it be done, 

 but that the reading public appreciated it. 

 So far the success of this brilliant magazine 

 has never been equalled in the history of 

 illustrated monthly literature, and it is daily 

 finding its way into new homes throughout 

 the country. The latent master stroke, in 

 obtaining the services of William Dean 

 Howells as associate editor, is the talk of 

 the literary world. 



To make the magazine still more popular, 

 its publishers are offering, for almost noth- 

 ing, a choice of the original editions of the 

 Memoirs of Generals Grant, Sheridan, 

 Sherman, McClellan and Lee, if taken in 

 connection with a year's subscription to the 

 Cosmopolitan Magazine. If you are not on 

 reading terms with this popular monthly, 

 write to the Cosmopolitan Publishing Co., 

 Madison Square, New York, for a free 

 sample copy ; then judge for yourself.

 the inventor claims for them.

 are for one pound sections. We have fif- 

 teen thousand, without tape handles, which
