The history of Abraham Lincoln during the War—the personal, 
lDner history— Mill be recounted by the private secretaries of Mr. 
Lincoln. The Siberian traveler, George Kennan, who has just re¬ 
turned fiom an even ful journey of 15,000 miles th ough S beria 
and Russia, undertaken with an artist, at the expense of The 
Century, will make his report oti “Siberia and the Exile System,” 
in a series of papers which will astonish the woild. Mr. Kennan 
made the personal acquaintance of some 300 exiled Nihilists and 
Liberals. Edwaid Eggleston, author of “The Hoosier School¬

authors, will furnish novels and novelettes; there will be narra- 
____j tives ot personal adventure in the War—tunneling from Libby 
Prison, etc., etc., with an article by Gen. Sheiman on “The G/and Strategy of the
