A FEAST OF GOOD THINGS.
ST. Nicholas in 1908 Promises to Go
Far Beyond Past Successes.

Professor John Bach McMaster recent
ly wrote to the editors of ST. Nicholas {:
Thank you very heartily for the pleas
ure and profit st. Nicholas brings to
my boys"
Boys and girls are very much alike the
world over. The delight and help
that ST. Nicholas is giving to Professor
McMaster's boys, and thousands Of
other girls and boys. IL holds for every
girl and boy who can understand Eng
fish.
Since the first number of St Nicholas
was published, nearly thirty years ago,
many weekly and monthly publications
for children have come and gone; but
st. Nicholas still holds its place. the
unrivalled prince of periodicals for
young folks" Ii was never more en-
joyed by its readers than now, for in
addition TO the usual serial stories short
articles, etc, there is a department
called The ST Nicholas League" in
which the children themselves have an
opportunity to take part. There are
said to be nearly fifty thousand children
now belonging TO the League and prizes
are given out each month for the best
stories. poems, drawings and photographs
sent in by the young members. Any
reader. of ST. Nicholas may become a
member.
st. Nicholas announces for 1898 ''The
Story of King Arthur" written and
illustrated by Howard Pyle, a compan-
ion story to his famous Robin
Hood" but which readers of the
manuscript think surpasses that in the
strength and interest of the narrative
and beauty of the illustrations. Two
short stories by Miss Alcott. written for
her own little nieces and never before
published. win soon appear in st. Nicho-
las. with other stories and articles by
the author of Mrs. Wigs of the Cab
bage Patch" by Ruth McEnery Stuart
Frank r. Stockton. Clara Morris. and
scores of other well-known writers. St
Nicholas makes a speciality of papers OF
information. richly illustrated articles on
practical subjects, like the Navy Yard
the Assay Office, etc.
The price of St. Nicholas is three dol
lars a year. The publishers announce
that new subscribers who begin with
January may receive the November and
December numbers free, and so begin
the volume and get the commencement
of all the serials. The publishers are

No Ordinary Politician.

Benjamin B. Oden, jr., who has just
been reelected governor OF New York
state. is a man of no ordinary accom-
plishments as a politician. He left his
studies in Columbia university before he
was of age TO manage a political cam
paign for his father. He has served two
terms in Congress, representing the
Newburg district. which was formerly
Democratic. In 1898 he was chosen
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee. Two years later he was elected
governor of New York by a plurality of
over III, 900. He succeeded in practi-
cally wiping out the direct state tax.
We would say that Odell is a man that
must be reckoned with in future polit-
cal combinations in the Empire state.
