THE ARENA.

A Great Magazine that handles Living Issues and deals with Present Problems.

Without doubt there has never before been a publication which during the first eight years of its existence has exerted the influence or secured the attention and respect of thinking people to the extent that THE ARENA has won during that period. As a popular journalist has said, "It does not live in the graveyards of the past." It is leading the progressive twentieth-century movements.

Not an Organ of Party or Creed.

To the pages of THE ARENA properly expressed and authoritative opinions having in view the betterment of human conditions and human life are welcomed.

Women's Cause and Progress.

More even than heretofore women can look to THE ARENA as a ready and sincere champion in all questions in which they are interested. The ablest and most popular writers of the world contribute to its pages.

Good Government.

THE ARENA will not be the organ of any political party whatever, but will be an earnest, independent and fearless advocate of the reform of abuses, and will labor zealously for the exposure and suppression of corruption, and for the promotion of good government generally.

Advanced Thought and Research.

To those who would keep abreast of the great advancement in human thought and progress in science, religion, psychology and metaphysics THE ARENA is indispensable.

To those seeking to subscribe for this magazine a late copy will be mailed on receipt of ten cents. Subscription price $3.00 per annum. Single copies twenty-five cents. Address Arena Publishing Co., Copley Square, Boston, Mass.

PAINTER'S

English Literature

HAS BEEN INTRODUCED INTO UPWARDS OF

TWO HUNDRED CITIES AND TOWNS

IN THE WEST and NORTHWEST

during the past three months.

Concerning this book, Dr. J. W. Stearns, of the University of Wisconsin, has written as follows:

"Painter's English Literature impresses me as exceedingly well adapted to meet a real want of the schoolroom-a manual which combines the historical and the critical study of our literature by a wise and helpful grouping into periods clearly described, and illustrated by studies of a few of their most important authors. Overcrowding with details is happily avoided in the historical surveys, while the biographical and critical matter is both interesting and well conceived. The book can hardly fail of meeting with a favorable reception."

The Doctor's prophecy has surely been fulfilled; the book has met with a decidedly favorable reception. If you are in need of a new English Literature, we invite your correspondence.

Owing to the business difficulties of the publishers from whom we have been getting our premium library for our subscribers, there has been an annoying delay in sending some of the books called for by our subscribers with coupons.

are attracting general attention, and its
railroads furnish the means to develop
them. The limitless iron ore deposits of
the Penokee and Gogebic Iron Ranges pro-
vide abundant opportunity for the estab-
lishment of Iron Furnaces and general iron
working industries. Hardwood timber in
great quantities attracts manufacturers of
all wood articles, including Furniture,
Woodenware, Staves, Headings, Hoops
and Veneering; the Granite and Lime
Stone quarries are attracting attention, as
their quality is unsurpassed for fine build-
Numerous
ing work and strong lime.
Clay, Kaolin and Marl beds furnish the
best material for Tile, Brick and Pottery.

All of these materials are located along
the line of the Wisconsin Central, and
any one who desires to locate a manufac-
tory is requested to write us, as we desire
to confer with every one who wants a good
location with facilities for reaching mar-
kets everywhere.

The

Scribner's Magazine

A RED-LETTER YEAR FOR 1897

THE ENTIRE NOVELTY of many of the plans for 1897 is noticeable. For instance, the series devoted to "London as Seen by Charles Dana Gibson." Mr. Gibson visited London last summer for SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE, for the purpose of depicting with pen and pencil those scenes and types which the buge metropolis presents in endless variety.

Of like novelty is the first considerable Novel by Richard Harding Davis,

"Soldiers of Fortune." The hero is one of the most vigorous men that Mr. Davis has drawn. Illustrated by C. D. Gibson.

"The Conduct of Great Businesses." "The Great Department Store;" Management of a Great Hotel;" "The Working of the Bank," and "A Great Manufactory." "Undergraduate

Life in American Colleges." Judge Henry E. Howland writes on "Undergraduate Life at Yale." Mr. James Alexander on "Princeton," and Robert Grant and Edward S. Martin on Harvard."

"Japan and China Since the War" will be a most interesting group of articles richly illustrated.

"The Unquiet Sex." Mrs. Helen Watterson Moody will write a series of articles: "Women and Reforms," "The College-Bred Woman," "Woman's

Clubs," and "The Case of Maria" (a paper on domestic service.)

W. D. Howells's "Story of a Play." George W. Cable will give a series of

four short stories, the only ones he has written for many years.

How to Travel Wisely. Mr. Lewis Morris Iddings, in two articles, will offer a variety of useful suggestions and data on "Ocean and Land Travel." This will be happily rounded out by an article from Mr. Richard Harding Davis on "Travellers One Meets: Their Ways and Methods." The illustrations by American and foreign artists will be highly pertinent.

**It is impossible in a small space to even mention the many attractive features for 1897. A beautiful illustrated booklet has been prepared, which will be sent, postage paid, on request.
