People's Pilot, Volume 2, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 January 1893 — The February Wide Awake [ARTICLE]

The February Wide Awake

Has a delightful reminder of Tennyson in Carroll Burton’s “Child-Life at Farringford,” described by one who actually visited and played with the Tennyson boys. The same number also contains Frederick A. Ober’s Columbus article, “At the New World’s Portal” Norman W. Bingham, Jr., one of the Harvard sprinters, furnishes the Wide Awake Athletics article, “Sprinting and Hurdling.” H. E. d'e Ramsay writes of little Queen Wilhelmina of Holland as “The Flower of her Race.” A splendid story by Alexander Ritchie, “The Pilot of the Nantucket Shoals,” opens the number with all the rush of the sea and the blinding spray of those dreaded shoals. It is finely illustrated. Gertrude Smith has a capital western story, “The Little Taylors Alone;” Abby M. Gannett has a homespun story, “Hetty’s Red Gown,” and Anna F. Burnham has a country “schoolma’am’s” story, “In the ’Pratus-Box.” Price 20 cents a number, 82.40 a year. On sale at news stands or sent postpaid on receipt of price, by D.
