YOUTH'S COMPANION TAS8KS.
Once I'onUr Juvenile Journal la No
Mere.
What old man, middle-aged man or
even oi??-just-come-of-age doea not
recall with a keen tense of reminiscent
delight the weekly visits, during
hit boyhood,- of the Youth's Companion
7 How many derived also no small
amount of pleasure from securing
clubs of subscribers, receiving as a
reward an air rifle or any one of a
hundred other articles given by the
publishers as premiums, and so glowingly
described in illustrated advertisements
in its columns?
To all this vast army of folk# the
news that the Youth's Companion Is
no more, will be received with a tingj
of sadness. It has been swallowed up
by the American Boy.
Sunday's New York Times chronicles
this event in its editorial columns
as follows:
Even in thia wicked town there
must be many old and not so old
boys whose households used to be
visited every week by the Youth's
Companion. In its prime it published
as an advertisement a map of the United
States with the circulation figures
for each statet It was then under the
direction of the late Daniel S. Ford,
still remembered in Boston for his
benefactions. In those days it used to
be the theory of New York newspaper
owners that every literary person in
Boston not otherwise engaged was
one of Mr. Ford's editors at a salary
of $25 a week. It is our impression
that most boys blessed with the
Companion appreciated its "healthful
tone'1 rather less than the opportunities
it offered for getting free a wide
collection of destructive or illuminating
things in consideration of new
subscribers roped into the fold by
their efforts."
It was founded something over a
hundred years ago by Nathaniel P.
Willis, Sr., whose not at all Youth's
Companion kind of a son, Nathaniel
P., Jr., started in 1820 the American
Magazine, deported to New York and
consolidated with The Mirror in 1831.
Senior and Junior, the Revolt of
Youth! After all, the good old Deacon
got the best of it. His paper became
the most successful and lasted
the longest of all periodicals "for the
young." But youth came to desire
livelier companions. The great weeklies
and the Sunday papers ' lured
away the tendor juveniles. The American
Boy has swallowed The Youth's
Companion. May good digestion wait
on appetite!?Gastonia Gazette.
Horse That Was Never Whipped.
According to the International
News Service, Theodore Bates of
Fort Wayne, Indiana, owns a horse
26 years old that has never been
whipped and can still do a full day'*
work. Bates said he has never had a
whip on any of his wagons and never
will.
"If all the money spent on whipcord
were expended for good feed,
and all the strength applied in wielding
the whip were devoted to kind,
patient treatment, drivers of horses
would get much more work and satisfactory
service from them," Bates
declared.
Bates and his faithful horse were
one of the main features of n parade
held in Fort Wayne.?Our Dumb Animals.
Killed in Melon Patch.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 20.?Robert
O'Brien, 16, son of a Birmingham
manufacturer, died early today of
ahotgun wounds received late last
night while in u watermelon patch
with men.
S. E. Burnett, 40, told deputy sheriffs
that hoboes had been stealing
melons from his patch and he was on
guard last night with a shotgun loaded
with buckshot. He said he fired
when he eaw the three carrying off
melons. Burnett was not arrested.
