John C. Peters was just returning from the depot with a load of broom corn and one of the herd of cattle got tangled up with Mr. Peters’ horse, almost causing it to run away. Another man, a stranger in a buggy, came driving along about that time and his horse frightening, backed into the bridge abutment, throwing the man out on hishead. Though things were quite exciting for a few minutes there was no damage done except the slight injury the stranger sustained by being thrown out of his buggy. Pine Grove Mention.

Five yes ago some banks in Pittsbuig, Pa., began to advertise, and recently they measured the result by comparing their wusiness with that of banks thas did nos advertise. In tue five years the banks thas sought new business through printer’s ink pained 38 per cent in assets and 85 per cent in deposits; the other banks gained 27 per cent in assets and 11 per cens in de- posits.

The December Delineat or, with its message of New Advertisements. New Advertisem ents, good cheer and helpfulness, wiil be welcomed in every home. The fashion pages are unusually attractive, illustrating and describing the very latest modes in a way to make their construction during the busy festive season a pleasure instead ot a task, and the literary and pictorial features are of rare excellence A selection of Love Songs from the Wagner Operas, rendered into English by Richard de Gallienne and beautifully illustrat- ed in colors by J. C. Leyendecker, occupies a Prominent place, and a chapter in the Compos- ers’ Series, relating the Romance of Wagner and Cosima, is an interesting supplement to the lyries. A very clever paper entitled “The Court Circles of the Republie,” describing some unique phases of Washington social life is from an un- named contributor, who is said to write from the inner circles of society. There are short stories from the pens of F. Hopkinson Smith, Robert Grant, Alice Brown, Mary Stewart Cutting and Elmore Elliott Peake, and such interesting writ- ers as Julia Magruder, L. Frank Baum, and Grace MacGowan Cooke hold the attention of the children. Many Christmas suggestions are given in needlework and the Cookery pages are redo- lent of the Christmas feast. In addition there are the regular departments of the magazine, with many special articles on topics relating to woman's interests within and without the home, McClure’s Magazine for December fairly radi- ates the spirit of Christmas. There is good cheer pleasant entertainment, the beauty and joy of life shining out of its pages; and underlying all this there is compelling seriousness and import- ance. The magazine seems to grow constantly richer, more varied, more brilliant, more author- itative—all qualities weli reflected in this nu m- ber. That rare combination of illuminating arti. cle and absorbing story is effected by Ray Stan- nard Baker in his story of the Garment Workers’ strike, “The Rise of the Tailors.”” Mr. Baker discusses the whole question of the ‘‘open shop,’ the very erux of the labor problem, with discrim. inating analysis, while he recites the dramatic narrative of ‘‘democracy on its way up” in New York’s East Side. What will be a revelation of tremendous significance to most readers are the hard facts, sustained by incontrovertible figures and comment, found in an article on “The In- crease of Lawlessness in the United States,” by 8. 8. McClure. Mr. McClure sees the worst, but hopes for the best. The position of distinction held by MeClure's in story as well as article is well sustained by the fiction of the number. There® are many stories that appeal to our primal sense of what is beauti- ful and tender, to our better instincts and tastes, with a moving force, and a long list of most en- tertaining articles on interesting subjects which round out to completeness this most attractive magazine.
