After SeYenty.Fina Years.

A visit to the old home is one of the
most delightful experience Of old age.
In New England more and more has
been made each year Of the feeling for
the old homestead, and it is only nat
ural that the "old home'' paper, ''The
Youths Companion, should participate
in this renewal Of cold home" acquain-
tances.
Last week the publisher Of "The
Youths Companion enjoyed a visit
from one Of their seventy. five-years
subscribers, Mr.. r. w. Peabody Of
of Chicago. now ninety one years old,
who had been spending a few weeks in
New England. He is one of the few
subscribers on record who has taken
"The Youths Companion" continu-
ously since its first issue, April II, 1927.
The letter in which he sent his original
subscription was one of the first he
ever wrote. Through young manhood,
maturity and old age, through times Of
war and times Of peace.in New England
and in the West, through all the last
seventy-five years Of his life, his one
constant companion has been the old
"Youth's Companion
The growth Of "The Companion" IT,
self from the first small FOUR page issues
to the great family paper of the present
is merely typical Of the growth Of the
country during Mr., Peabody's lifetime.
The wonderful triumphs Of steam, and
electricity; the great inventions that
made the nineteenth century what il
was, nearly all occurred in the period
through which DIR. Peabody and "The
Youths Companion" have passed side
by side.
The regard Mr.. Peabody holds fol
the paper is not because Of its age, bui
because the paper, although the same
in purpose in its last issue as in that o.
seventy-five years ago, has kept pace
with all the extraordinary develop
ments Of these three generations, and
instead Of growing old has grown
young in enterprise, in originality, and
in the ability to know ard supply tn,
