The inauguration of a President, the selection of his Cabinet, and the seating of a new Congress—national events of the ooming year —suggest the question, What are the powereHand duties of these high offioi&ls? During 1b97 it will t>e answered through the Youth’s Companion, in a remarkable series of articles bj Secretary Herbert, Postmaster-General Wilson, At-torney-General Harmon, Senator Lodge and Speaker Reed. The Illustrated Announcement for 1897 (mailed free on application to the Youth’s Companion, Boston) shows that the above is only one of many brilliant "features” by which the Companion will signalize its seventy-first year. Three novelists who at present fill the pablio eye— lan Maclaran, Budyard Kipling and Stephen Crane —will contribute some of their strongest work. Practical affairs and popnlar interests will be treated by Andrew Carnegie, Hon, Theodore Roosevelt Dr. Lyman Abbott, Madame Lillian Nordica, Hon. Carl Sohura, Charles Dudley Warner, Mrs. Burton Harrison, and a hundred other famous men and women. Four fascinating serials, more than two hundred short stories, and ten times as many sketohes and aneodotes will be printed during 1897; and all the departments will be maintained at the high standard which has made the Companion’s name a synonym for impartial accuracy. The oost of the Companion is but 1.75 a year, and we know of no investment that will give so great returns for so small an am't of money.
