The Century Co.'s Magazine for Young Folks.
Enlarged and Printed in New Type.

Since 1873 when, under the editorial manage
ment of Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, the publication
of ST. Nicholas for Young Folks was begun it has
led all magazines for girls and boys Nothing
like it was known before, and to-day, as the Chi
cago Inter ocean recently sad lit is the model
and ideal juvenile magazine of the world"
Through its pages the greatest writer's of our
time are speaking to the youth of America and
England. and the best artists and engravers are
training the eyes of the boys and girls to appre-
many readers 81. Nicholas has. In the third
largest public library in Amerca-that in Indian
apolis-more than 5000 people read each months
Since the first issue Mrs. Dodge has remained
as editor. EARLY in its history other young peo-
Pies magazines Our Young Folks, y The Lit
ted with it, and its history has been one of growth
from the first. Tennyson, Bryant, Longfellow,
Whittier; Miss Alc0tt, Mrs; Burnett, Charles
well-known writer of our time have contributed
to its pages. There is only one way in which its
conductors can make it better, and that is by
making more of it, and so they announce that
with the beginning of the seventeenth volume
November, 1897 81. Nicholas will be enlarged by
the addition of eight, and sometimes sixteen,
extra pages in each number. This enlargement
is absolutely required to make room for the rich
store of new material which has been secured
for the benefit of 50. Nicholas readers. The use
of new and clearer type will be begun with the
November number.
During the coming year there are to be four
important serial stories by four well-known
American authors. Athletics and outdoorsport
will be special feature contributed by Walter
Camp. of Yale, and others) and there will be
