She was glad to get away to Cahokia. They say it is fine in the Illinois Territory. You know she is fond of seeing the world." The young supple creature trying to restrain her shivers and sobs of anguish against the bark house side was really a moving sight; and Jean Bati' McClure's wife, flattening a masculine upper lip with resolution, said promptly,
This everybody here knows; therefore I do not feel as if I were betraying dear friends." From a photograph made for MCCLURE'S MAGAZINE in February, 1896. At this house Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd were married November 4, 1842, and here Mrs. Lincoln died July 16, 1882. The house was built about 1835. It was a brick structure, and there were few handsomer ones in the town.
It is hard to realize the meaning of these figures, which represent the present circulation of MCCLURE'S MAGAZINE. Three years ago five magazines "The Century," "Harper's," "Scribner's," "The Cosmopolitan," and "Munsey's" apparently occupied the whole magazine field. But their total circulation was not over five hundred thousand copies.
This movement had wholly disjointed Sherman's plan of keeping the three armies upon separate lines of march. Finding no means for rapid crossing at McClure's, he pushed one of his divisions to Field's, and so occupied and blocked both of the Coosawattee crossings, which by the orders should have been wholly at Schofield's disposal.
Jenieve desired to grasp her by the shoulder and walk her into the house; but when the world, especially Jean Bati' McClure's wife, is watching to see how you manage an unruly mother, it is necessary to use some adroitness. "Will you please come here, dear Mama Lalotte? Toussaint wants you." "No, I don't!" shouted Toussaint. "It is Michel Pensonneau I want, to make me some boats."
Every one who has a contribution, either in picture or incident, to our knowledge of this great man ought to bring it before the two or three million readers that McCLURE'S will have when we begin to publish the "Life of Grant" next November. Almost every week we add to our collection of Lincoln pictures.
A playful breeze had lifted off the tarpaulin that covered the newsstand, and the magazines were enjoying a quiet hour by themselves. "Harper's" took occasion to edge away from "McClure's." "Your cheapness makes me dizzy," it observed, with a superior sniff. "My cheapness is as nothing to your dullness,", exclaimed "McClure's," with some heat. "Nonsense!" replied "Harper's."
McClure's, was an outsider at the ball, and was, in fact, the mere tourist I was supposed to represent. I thought, however, I might get one piece of information out of him. "I don't see Mrs. McClure," I said, looking over the dancing couples. Then it was that the Highlander told me about the reception-room at the other side of the conservatory that opened out of the ballroom, where Mrs.
In the January, 1899, issue of McClure's Magazine there appeared a profusely illustrated article entitled "Voyaging under the Sea." The first part of it, "The Submarine Boat Argonaut and her Achievements," was written by Simon Lake himself. In it he quotes as follows from the log book of the Argonaut under date of July 28, 1898. Submerged at 8.20 A. M. in about thirty feet of water.
Another anecdote reminiscent of his editorial days was his retort to S.S. McClure, the editor of McClure's Magazine. McClure, "there are only three great editors in the United States." Many of them indicate a mere spirit of boyish fun.
