The December issue of Everybody's Magazine will certainly attract atten. tion, not only because of the sensation- al interest of its jostalment of Thomas W.

Some of the best fiction writers before the public are represented within its covers. Daniel Krader, of Coburn, was lucky, in shooting a two-pronged buck which weighed 115 pounds when dressed. Mr. Krader, in company with a number of other hunters, had started early in the morning enroute to Price's camp, in the Seven moun- tains, and had not gone far until he landed the fatal shot, says the Jour- nal. It is reported that the party saw three deer at the same place. Any man can take a newspaper. It is the cheapest thing he can buy.
