Harper's Round Table, January 7, 1896
Produced by Annie R. McGuire
"Harper's Round Table, January 7, 1896" by Various is a weekly publication that likely features a mix of articles, stories, and illustrations aimed at a youthful audience, reflecting the late 19th-century social concerns and interests. The opening portion highlights a story titled "Cressy's New-Year's Rent" by L. A. Terebel, which centers around a young reporter named Fred Hallowell as he navigates a snowstorm to assist a struggling, sickly family facing eviction. The narrative captures themes of compassion, social justice, and the struggles of the lower class during a time of economic hardship. The beginning of "Harper's Round Table" introduces Fred Hallowell, who works as a reporter amidst a snowy blizzard, feeling a sense of empathy for a French family at risk of eviction due to unpaid rent. As he investigates the family's plight, he learns of their hardship, including the father's sick wife and a young daughter caught in a desperate situation. Fred's determination to help leads him to confront the wealthy landlord, Q. C. Baggold, with the hope of persuading him to reconsider the family's eviction. The story unfolds with themes of urban struggle, kindness, and moral responsibility, setting a poignant tone for the challenges that Fred is willing to champion for those in need.
