Probably nothing illustrates more clearly the marked change in the literary tastes and viewpoint | of life in general between the present and a century ago than the suspension of the Youth’s Compan- jon and the circumstance that its disappearance caused scarcely a ripple. In fact, it was not gen- erally noted. It long ago ceased to be an import- ant factor notwithstanding that it was published at Boston for nearly three years more than a cen- tury, and for two or three generations easily occu- pied first place among American publications for the young.

What a disastrous mntake‘ to present religion which ought to be a sourcel| of cheerfulness and quiet confidence as a dull dreadful thing! But in tens of thousands of homes | there was no alternative, and few if any of such homes ever thought to question the suitability of | worms and epitaphs as representatives of Lhe; spiritual. For example, an early number contained an| article on the “Death of a Child Six Years Old there was a conversation with a philosophic In-| dian; there was a paragraph on a Child’s Duty| to its Parents, hints on education, two columns | of poetry for which the sheafs were responsible, items on godly parents, filled out with quotations from Proverbs. But it filled a real need in that| day for there was nothing else, and it was prob‘! ably permitted as Sunday reading. | Years later a new personalily took hold, Daniel Sharp Ford, who, too, was full of beneficial ideas | for improving the moral tone of the young, but he was also a shrewd business man who preceived| that the times were changing, and he proceeded to put a little human interest into the paper. Fic- tion began to appear, highly moral fiction of course, but yet fiction. Writers were discovered who had a real knack of writing for boys, and girls too, for girls like so called boys' tales no less than their brothers. Premiums were offered for subscriptions, the list of which reads like the forerunner of the catalogue of a mail order house. The list furnished really thrilling reading and inspired thousands of girls and boys to become canvassers for subscriptions to | the paper in the hopes of securing one or the} other of the handsome prizes. Circulation increased | rapidly and enabled the magazine to pay hand- somely for contributions from famous authors, a| feature which again helped to place it among the really important periodicals of its hey-day. Not only articles from native authors, statesmen, and men of affairs, but the paper could boast of such con- tributors as Alphonse Daudet, Rudyard Kipling, Wilkie Collins, hardly known to this generation, but the author of interesting tales, Gladstone, and Huxely. At one time, Gluyas Williams, one of the most successful of contemporary humorus artists, was on the staff, and Ellery Sedgwick was for a time the editor. The Youth’s Companion played a large part in its day in the education and mental' and moral training of Americans. There are few middle aged Americans who do not cherish memories of precious | hours spent with it. UNCLE SAM'S REAL ESTATE | PURCHASES. In the excellent Alaska editorial that he wrote | for the Atascadero News which was reproduced | in The Empire Gov. Bone made a mistake by re- with approval an extravagant statement that has been repeated so often that the author other real estate transaction, based upon results, proved so remunerative and endur- ingly profitable? The United States has made no less than three real estate deals which have been more profitable thus far than the Alaska transaction, and two of them promise to be more enduringly remunerative. ‘When Jefferson and Monroe purchased for $15,000,- a part of more than a dozen States, they got a better bargain for their country than Johnson and Seward got when they purchased Alaska.
