curator_note: Cover, masthead, and table of contents retained. Unnumbered advertising leaves 2–4 and 101–104 are intentionally omitted; the unpaginated annual volume index on leaves 95–100 is volume-level back matter, not an issue article. The scan preserves an original out-of-order/duplicate printed “938” and two unnumbered Galveston illustration leaves; printed p. 933 is absent from the supplied scan. The explicit page ledger records these source anomalies without fabricating text.
