LITERARY NOTES.
Ladies Home Journal."
When Martha Bulloch, the fair daughter of a
wealthy Georgia planter, married Theodore
Roosevelt half a century ago she little dreamed
that her name would be handed down as the
mother of a President. The pretty romance of
her meeting with the New York man, their court
ship and marriage, and the long honeymoon
journey in a stagecoach, forms a new inteiesting
chapter in connection with the hie of the present
Theodore Roosevelt. In the June number oi
The Ladies' Home Journal this romance and
many unknown facta concerning the President's
.1 tf a Oft or .a
mower are tow oy cousin ot Martha Bulloch.
Success.
The menu arranged by the editors of "Success"
in the May number, contains a long list of whole
some dishes, spices with inspiration and good
cbeer. "success" has no sympathy with oessim
ism, as its pages show, but flings far and wide,
the essence of optimism, which, io a large mm
sure is responsible for its spirit-ptirrin? onalitiao
The May number contains some important articles
showing the upward trend of the rrorld. The
opening article is by Rebecca Harding Davis and
is entitled "The Return tothe Soil." It is a strong
plea' to those who obliged to live in the oitv.
to seek some communion with nature, in order to
find new life and new interest la tht for Id. I

An air oi1 Spring pervades Scribaer'ji Magazine
for May. It contains a beautiful drawing in
color by Henry McCarter to illustrate Heine's

"Afef-Soog 1 there U a brecsy saltwater nam'
tiVQ lur Jamel & Connolly, who. gives bis ad
ventures "On a North Sea Smack" (illustrated
by M. J. Burns) another of those inimitable
fishing sketches which have already put Mr.
Connolly in the first rank of writers of the sea;
an exciting "Fight with a Muskallonge," by
John R. Rathom, who io a very brief space gives
the reader all the sensations that an expert fish
erman gets in landing a gamy fish (illustrated
with a spirited picture by A. B. Frost); and there
is an "Early May" poem by John Burroughs'
Womas's Home Companion.
The May number of the Woman's Home Com
panion opens with an article on "Where the Cir
cus Starts From," by Euvene Wood. "Behind
the Scenes in a Department Store" gives shoppers
a glimpse into the workings of these great enter
prises, lhere is a valuable article on Ellen M.
Stone. "Little Journeys to the Woods and
Fields" and "The Month of May-Days" are ap
propriate outdoor features. The reproduction of
five paintings by Charles Schreyvoeel, makes a
striking double-page feature. A new serial story
by Cyrus Townsend Brady, entitled "Woven
With the Ship," makes the magazine notable in
fiction. Will N. Harben and Elliot Flower con
tribute short stories. Published by The Crowell

A series which should have been named ''The
Enchantments of our Modern Aladdins," if con
sidered solely from the point of view of romance,
is begun in the May Cosmopolitan. But these
sketches possessas well a business interest equally
for clerk and capitalist, for manufacturer, farm
er and merchant. - The' man who would under
stand the drift of our news in finance and busi-
ness must read, these lives, so full of Incident, of
chance, of hard labor and marvelous success.

Ex-Sepator Hummel and Hon. Thad M
Mabori are the two candidates registered in
Juniata County and are the only candidates for
Congress io that County for the primary election
to be held Saturday of next week. It is simply
preposterous that a man of Hummel's narrow
and scanty qualifications should represent an
intelligent district in the National Congress.
The people of this district need a man of
brains and Jlummel certainly can not be put in
to-ihat class. -
We welcome with pride and adoration the
magnanimous offer of Chief Burgess John F.
Stetler, to donate a triangular lot south of the
Lutheran Church for the purpose of erecting
thereon the proposed Monument to be erected in
honor of the Soldiers and Sailors of Snyder
County. ' The design for this magificient struct
ure is shown on the first page of the Post this
week; Under an act of the assembly a certain
portion of the cost of such a monument can be
taken out of the county treasury, by a vote of
the County Commissioners. The law however.
will not .permit of a sufficient . appropriation to
Duiid the monument,. A great ideal ot it must
be raised by private contributions. The Grand
Army Posts of the county are taking the matter
np and will try to raise the amount needed, in
addition to the appropriation from the county
