Is Country Life In America for December, the largest maga sine with the most beautiful photographs snd pages and supplements In color to rival the great annuals of England. It Is dif ferent, however, in being really American, breathing everything of the outdoor world, from the snowy woods, skeelng, lce-boat-lng, the animals, birds and flowers to southern plantations and house parties. The beautiful magaslne alms to cover all the work and pleasure that goes on under the open sky. , Among the really notable features the "Annual" contains, are "Christmas In ths Pine Woods," by 8. E. White, the "biased trail" author; "Skeelng" as a popular sport In America, with remarkable Jump ing pictures; and the beautiful section of the magazine Illustrating Christmas greens and floral decorations In natural colors. Including the many new southern vari eties, which, togother with the large sup plement, three feet long, entitled "A Par son's Christmas," by Stetson Crawford, and other foatures, make an exqulalte run cf color. Also A. Radelyffe Dugmore's series of photographic studies of wild ani mal tracks In the -enow; the Illustrated story of "Tho Amphlblou Scooter," a hew kind of ice-boat that not only sails on the Ice but In water as well, and slides from one element to the other without a Jar; and Mrs. Burton Klngsland's com plete article, with color decorations, In yule tide preparations, Including games, stories, receipts, and a hundred nugges- tlons, are entitled to foremost mention; while "Winter Flowers" that bloom out doors December to March, Christmas In the south In the old regime and the new, by Grace King, and "The Home of the Naturalist," being Ernest Thompson Be- ton s unique country seat and wild ani mal preserve In the Connecticut hills, are Illustrated In the charming manner char acteristic, of this large magaslne. A hun dred other suggestions In many brief arti cles have to do with nature, home build ing, wonderful snow-men, how to make a living out of doors, selecting presents from a classified list of 300, flower-growing. animal-rearing, and so on. Altogether it Is the largest number this superbly illus trated magaslne has published. Charles P. Chlpman, author of two new books, "Two Boys and a Dog" and "Through an Unknown Isle," brought out this year by the Saalfleld Publishing com pany. Is now a member of the class of 1906 of Colby college, Waterville, Mo. He wrote his flmt story about four years ago in col laboration with his father, a Baptist min ister. "Two Boys and a Dog" was written for the amusement of his younger brother and his chum, who are the two lads who figure in the story, and the tale pleased them so, much that It was later prepared for publication. 'Through an Unknown Isle" touches a new field In juvenile fiction and is the result of much careful reading. Though the adventures, are mainly fictitious. the characters are real lads, as he saysi "I nave endeavored, to make my. heroes In all cases real, live boys, not fanciful, youth ful prodigies," The sales of "Marjle of the Lower Ranch' in Montana, Wyoming and Arliona, are re ported by the C. M. Clark Publishing com pany, who Issued Miss Frances Parker's novel of life In Montana, to be the largest ever attained In the West by any one of their publications. This proves that In one case, at least, an author (who Is vlr tually to be classed more or less with a prophet) is not without honor in her own country. The green. Ivory and Wack of the Cen tury's new cover, make an effective back ground for the special design marking the Christmas issue. The coronation of Charle magne by Pope Leo III In the basilica of St Peter's, Christmas day, 800 A. D., Is the subject) and the rich browns, reds and blues of the figures and robes are bright ened by a liberal use of gold. The whole cover gives the artlstlo effect of a multi- toned picture framed in Ivory and black against a soft green ground. The January Delineator contains literary and art features of exceptional value and reliable fashion Information, Including a tetter from Mrs. Osborn, the foremost modiste In America. The pictorial present uon of the season's styles Is very good. A number of pages are given to a de scription or "Parsifal," Wagner's great muslo drama, and an Interpretation of the theme by W. J. Henderson, with personal reminiscences of the first performance of the opera at Bayreuth, by Oustav Kobbe. The illustrations are from the only pho tographs ever made of the opera, and are how published for the first time. Mr. Kobbe also contributes an Interesting paper describing the life bf Mme. Sohumann Helnk at Villa Tlnl. her home near Dres den, Germany. There are stories by Jack London, whose book, "The Call of the Wild," Is one of the most popular of the year, and Kathryn Jarboe, and the fourth Installment of "The Evolution of a Club Woin," by Agnes Burbrldge. The first pa; of "Ths Fountain of Youth" Intro due. , a series of undoubted benefit to women who are In search of, or deslrlous Of retaining, good looks. In addition there is an appealing paper by Lillle Ham ilton French, and much matter of Interest to the children, including serials by Albert Blgelow Paine and Gabrlelle E. Jackson. There la also helpful information for every u.imrinioni 01 me nome. One of the earliest applications for the limited large paper edition of Richard Henry Stoddard's "Recollections," which has Just been brought out by A. 8. Barnes A Co., was from, a brother poet who of re cent years has written more state papers than poems Secretary of State John Hay. The novelette in Alnslce's for January Is entlt'ed "The Siege of Ear," whose author. Francis Prevost, had "The Measure 'of a Man" In October. In tone and setting It Is slightly different from what we have come to look for in an Alnslee novelette, but the mngaslne has certainly lost nothing, for the story Is equal to the best of the good tl.Lngs it has been giving Its readers.

M KK'S, A.hbarnham, Ontario, Testifies to the Good Qualities, of Chamber lain's t'oush Remedy, ASHBURNHAM, Ont, April 18, 1908. I think It Is only rlgM that I should tell you what a wonderful effect Chamberlain's Cough Rfmedy has produced. The day be fore Easter I was so distressed with a cold and cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as my voice was almost choked by the cough. The same day I received an order, from you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy. I at once procured a sample bottle, and took about three doses of tho medicine. To my great relief the cough and coHl had completely disappeared and I was able to preach three times on Easter Day. ITtnow that this rapid and effective cure was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this testl monltil -without solkita'.lnn, being thankful to have found such a Gsd-ssnt remedy. Respectfully yours, B. A. LANQFELDT, M. A,. Rector of St. Luke's Church, DOWN ON THE OLD COLISEUM Building Inspector Wlthnell Will I'rsre Advisory Board to Have Balldlnsr Condemned. Building Inspector Wlthnell declares that the Coliseum shall not be used an other year by the Ak-Sar-Ben or any other organisation or Individual who would bring large crowds Into It. Through the evening papers last night he learned that the knights were considering leasing the big building for another year, with a poa. sibllity of purchase. The inspector im mediately dictated a letter to the advisory board, recommending the condemnation of the structure and declaring It unfit for use. The board will meet today and likely take the matter up. . r "All the repairs that a resonable amount of money would put on the shell would not make It safe," , said Inspector Wlthnell. "An entire new. t foundation is needed. the sills and studding are rotten and the floor badly decayed The general condition of the Coliseum 4,., bad and it will take thousands of dollars)' to- reduce the- dan ger that exists, unsos the strain of large crowds. I shall" spare7' no effort to have the building condemned and do not think much . difficulty will be ' encountered In securing this judgment from the board."

"My name Is Nina E. Robinson," the woman said, "and I am Frank Hender- son'.s sister. We were motherless almost from childhood and a stepmother drove us away from home before we .were really able to take care of ourselves. Frank left home at the age of 8 and' I have seen little of film since. I do not believe him guilty," and there waa a preceptlble tremor In the voice of the little woman. "1 am on my way to Arlington, where my uncle lives," she con tinued. "He Is B. F. Mitchell, and ha owns ranch and has money. I will see what he thinks is best to do, I shall not desert Frank and will come back here and employ attorneys to take care of his caae. ' He never was a bad boy and I don't believe him guilty of these crimes." Another charge was filed against Ford by Joseph A.

'If they find Frank guilty he will be sent to the penitentiary at Lincoln," she said, "and I will move there. I shall not desert him."
