One function of the up-to-date

striking thing about the December

Der, 1t is filled with good, strong fic-

stories; but first in Importance are
the contributions of William Allen

the place of Folk in national affairs

finally shows that he is not big
enough yet for presidential timber.

1t has fallen to the lot of very few
of the leading publications of the
United States to survive the vicissi-
tudes of half century. One of the
fortunate ones is Leslie's Weekly,
the first illustrated weekly newspaper
established in the United States, and
which, on December 14th, will cele-
brate it's tiftieth anniversary. When
the late Frank Leslie started this
publication, in 1855, it was question
ed whether he would be successful or
J not. He was an Englishman and be-
lieved that if England could support
several frst-class illustrated weeklies,
the United States could support one,
and his judgment proved to be cor
rect. Two years after he began the
publication of his weekly he had a
lively competitor, issued by the
Harper Brothers, and still in exist
ence. A unique feature of the Golden
Anniversary number of Leslie's
Weekly will be an exact CODY, full
size, 16 pages, of the first issue of
Leslie's Weekly. This will afford the
reader fine opportunity, by COM
parison, to judge of the wonderful
progress of the art of printing and
engraving during the past fifty years.
The Golden Anniversary number of
Leslie's will contain a number of
special features that will make it un-
usually attractive and valuable.
