FIVE BIG FEATURES FOR 1907:
The Editorials
Contributors for 1907
Thu publishers believe that in the monthly editorial
by Joel Chandler Harris they have the strongest feature
1hat Curie Remus's Magazine, or any other, ran boast.
They art* called editorials for lack of a word. Nothing
quite like tlve.m has ever been written before. 'The first
is on “Knowing Your Neighbors.” h is comparable in
rliarm of st ylo and delicacy of treatment only with the besi
of Robert Louis Stevenson. And kindred themes will be
treated in subsequent issues. They strike a new note in
literature: a note that is clear and true; free from pedan-
iry or didacticism, and full of sanity and strength and lov<
for fellow man. They are little sermons tha1 rearh tin
heart because they have human sympathy and are larkins.
in the dogmatism of creed or the bias of denomination
They will do more than merely entertain; they will ac
eomplish good.
Mr. Harris's Serial
Illustrated by Charlotte Harding
In the first number there will begin a serial by Joel
(’handler Harris. It is called “Tin- Bishop. The Booger-
man and the Right of W av’’ (being the story of a little
trnly-girl. who grew up: her mysterious companion; her
crabbed old uncle: the Whish-Whish woods; a very civil
- ngineer. and Mr. Billy Sanders, the Sage of Shady Dale).
The story eminently .justifies the piquancy of the title, and
those who have read it say it is the very best fietion Mr.
Harris has written. The rapt ion might load one to be
lieve it is a story for children. H is: it's written par
ticularly for children between the ages of. say, twelve and
seventy. The older you are, the more you will enjoy it—
if you happen still to he a child.
The interest (‘enters around the contest, so tvpieal of
the Old South, between the new ideas and the old. Tradi
tion arrays itself against modern business enterprise, and
a clash results in Shady Dale, Georgia, which the little
iruly-giri, somewhat grown up. is able to solve bv means
which are the simplest in the world yet which are the es
sence of romance.
Charlotte Harding has drawn some real illustrations
for the story. She has got into the spirt of the tale and of
the times, and has drawn not merely prettv pictures but
itas interpreted the text, with a delicacy and charm that
belong to the story.
Science for the People
There are “Five Men who Made Epochs.” They are
Schwann, Darwin, Wcismanu, Helmholtz, and Golgi. The
chances are that the only one <>f tlmsc vou ever heard of
before is Darwin. And tin' chances are that nearly all
you know of Darwin and his teaching is misinformation.
Kvery one of these men was as great as Napoleon or
W ashington. M. A. Lane, who is a leading American
scientist, has writlen a series of arl ides on these great men
for Uncle Remus's Magazine. Mr. Lain* was at one time
one of the star newspaper men of flu* country, lie is now
one of ihe most scholarly scientists. Fie has combined the
1 wo abilities and has written a remarkable series for i nde
Remus's Magazine. They have the human interest, the
grip, ihe putting of scientific lore inlo such form that he
who runs is hound to read and to understand and to won
der. The articles will he superbly illustrated by Leonard
H. Wilder, formerly of the British Museum and now con
nected with the Smithsonian Institution.
Typical Southern Girls
Drawn by Famous Artists
Of the art features of the year, perhaps the most
notable will appear in Uncle Remus s Magazine. !i is
the “Typical Southern Girls” scries. Those who will
draw the pictures are Henry Hut!, E. M. Ashe. G. Allan
Gilbert. Clarence F. Underwood, Karl Anderson, John
(Veil Olav, K. Y. Nadlierny, Robert Edwards, Roy L. \\ ill
buns and R. Palenske. You couldn't find a more delight
ful coterie of artists than these half a score in a month of
Sundays, and their delineation of the typical southern girl
is bound to he not merely a matter of great interest to
all, l)itt an artistic triumph. The pictures will appear in
colors.
Waterloo’s Great Series
Just at present there is raging a controversy in lifer-
nrv circles following charges of plagiarism against Jack
London, brought because of ihe similarity <>t his story,
‘•Before Adam,” to a book written ten years ago by Stan-
lev Waterloo. This book, which was called the “Story of
Ah.” attracted considerable attention because of the
originality of theme and strength of treatment in dealing
with the subject of primitive man. It is pointed out that
Jack London is using Stanley Waterloo s theme, and the
deadly parallel has been brought into evidence.
At the time this controversy was precipitated. Uncle
Remus's "Magazine had already contracted with Stanley
Waterloo for a series of stories of primitive man, along the
line of his “Story of Ab.”
They deal with a big subject in a tremendously big
way. and are full of tlic tire of fighting and the passion of
primordial humanity.
