Choosing a Christmas Present

When you make a present of a periodical to a friend of fam fly you are really selecting a companion to influence them for good or i'll during a whole year If the acquaintanceS of your sons and daughters were to talk to them aloud .as some periodi calls talk to then silently, how quickly you would forbid the companionship. In the one case as in the other, the best course is to supplant the iniurous with something equally attraction and at the same time worth while" A food eau be wholesome and ut terly distasteful. Reading can be made so, too But the Youths Companion not only nourishes the mind, but delights it, just like that ideal human associate whom you would choose. The Youths Companion filis that place now in more thar a half million homes. Gan you not think of another family in which it is not now known where it would be ioyfully welcomed?

Toxic, Oct. 26.-News has been re-
ceived here that Prince Ito, the fam
ous Japanese statemsan, has been as
sassinated by Corean at Hardin.
The news was received at Toxic at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon The dis
patch contained only the brief an
nouncement that Prince Ito had been
assassinated-
1t has caused great grief and con-
sternation.
Prince Hirob1mi Ito was perhaps
the greatest statesman Of new japan.
The achievement with which his name
has been chiefly associated in the minds
of Occidentals was the framing Of the
imperial constitution, by virtue of
which japan took her place for the first
time in the rank of modern civilized
states.
AS the emperor's trusted adviser and
the medium through which the state
was placed on constitutional basis, he
must be regarded as one of the positive
factors which have helped to win for
japan her present standing among the
nations.
