Everybody's Magazine November, 1903.
A mission is liable to swamp a
magazine. So much zeal is
oped that the real function of the
publication, which is to entertain, is
forgotten, this excess Every-
body's Magazine, which has recent-
undertaken a crusade against the
habit in America,
is obviously not to be led. The
November con tents-table makes a
most inviting showing, presenting
as it docs stories and sketches by
such amusing writers as Alfred Hen.
Lewis, Henry and Eugene

policy at all, and the reader is likely
to find himself in the midst of Fran-
