The December MagazineNumber
of The Outlook will be its annual
Book Number. The Outlook was,
it is believed, the first of the weekly
papers to form the custom of print
ing each year a special number fully
illustrated and containing not only
descriptions and reviews of the im
portaut holiday books, but also lit
terary articles of special interest at
this season. This year a group of
articles on Artistic Hook Making
will form a prominent featureot the
number. Mr. Theodore DeVinne,
the head of the famous firm ofartis
tie printers, Mr. George Wharton
Edwards, the artist, and Mr. E. D.
North, the well-known bibliophile
and expert in books, will contribute
to this series, and the illustrations
will be of a high order. Other fea
tures will make this number, it is
believed, more attractive than any
of its many predecessors put forth
by The Outlook Company. ($3 a

seemed to lie sinking at each other.
After driving a little closer, w
easily recognized a full Hedged tus

rob the other. I drove my horse a
fast as I could ; and when I approach

and was scarcely able to walk. We
learned that the niau was a jew ied-
ler by the name of Genzburger of
Mifflinburg. The peddler stagger
ed around ami we assisted him
on the wagon and followed him
to Hartleton. The victim had con
siderable money about him and a
great many goods. The would-lic
rohliers were masked and wore large
bags. As Mr. Gciizlicrger stopped

W lien the ease was postponed less

that W'intersteen was to leave the
town and state within two weeks,
and this was cited as the primary
cause ol the withdrawal of Mr.

the rumor which prevailed at. the
time the trial was postponed.
