96 THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. [January, teurs as well, and also the general public. The fiction number is happily timed. It contains the beginning of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell's new novel, "The Red City," and short stories from May Sinclair, Jack London, Charles D. Stewart, David Gray, Barton W. Curne, Katherine Metcalf Roof, Roger A. Derby and Frances T. Lea—tragedy, pathos and humor being well balanced. . A new novel by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell is always a cause for con gratulation; and "The Red City" renews acquaintance with some of the characters and scenes of Dr. Mitchell's greatest success, "Hugh Wynne." The opening chapters tell, in the author's characteristic fashion, of the coming to Philadelphia, in the time of Washington's presidency, of a young Huguenot emigre and his widowed mother, and of their meeting with Hugh Wynne. In this number, too, F. Marion Crawford tells the true story of Beatrice Cenci—"a great love-drama, less noble, but ever more human, and surely far more awful, than the 'Bride of Lammermoor'"—basing this new version of a long misunderstood tragedy, in part, upon some recently found valuable letters and documents not before published. The topics of the times seem especially timely—"A 'Demonstration' by 1908—Editorial Our Subscription Campaign 2 FARM MANAGEMENT: Editorial—Work for the Month 3 Rotation of Crops Land Improvement Fertilizers in the Central West 6 — Governor Hughes," commending the State Executive's recent utterances on civil service reform; "A Good Working Hypothesis," the doctrine that things are really getting better; "Mars: a New Phase," "Hard Times and Good Books." It should be a Happy New Year surely for every youngster fortunate enough to have the January St. Nicholas, for a richer, fuller number of that children's magazine was never issued. It is almost a White House number Chester M. Clark telling in much interesting detail of "A Day's Work With the President," all the routine of one of President Roosevelt's busy days, while Jacob Riis relates the story of "Slippers, the White House Cat." This first-of-the-year number brings the beginnings of three tempting new serials: Ralph Henry Barbour's "Harry's Island," continuing the fun and adventures of the old favcfrites of "Tom, Dick and Harriet;" Agnes McClelland Daulton's "The Gentle Interference of Bab," opening delightfully, and Carolyn Wells' and Harrison Cady's funny, very funny, "The Happy Chaps." Besides all the jingles and pictures and departments, there are several exceptionally bright short stories, more chapters of the fascinating "Three Years Behind the Guns," General CONTENTS.
