El periódico publicó los primeros trabajos de Thomas Hardy, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Sir James Barrie y Rudyard Kipling.
Texto Original: Invictus Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
