People's Pilot, Volume 3, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 August 1893 — Wide Awake. [ARTICLE]

Wide Awake.

The August number of this delightful magazine is much larger than usual —containing 150 pages of reading matter. Perhaps the “Story of Wide Awake” may be considered the leading article of the number. It is a graphic account of the magazine, from its very beginning to the present time. A fine frontispiece portrait of the late Daniel Lothrop, the founder of Wide Awake, most fitly opens this farewell number. Among the more notable stories and articles may be mentioned "A Race for Life,” by John Willis Hays, a thrilling Indian tale; “The North Chamber,” by Louisa T. Craigin, and “The Thrilling Story of Capt. Noman," by Charles R. Talbot; “Concord Dramatics,” by George B. Bartlett, will interest all lovers of Louisa Alcott's “Little Women" stories. With this great Midsummer issue, Wide Awake ceases to be a separate publication, and bids farewell to its thousands of readers. This new departure is explained in the article “The Story of Wide Awake." The D. Lothrop Company have made arrangements to merge Wide Awake into St. Nicholas. The price of this number is 20 cents. For sale at news stands; or mailed by D. Lothrop Company, Boston, on receipt of price. Crossing the Campus.—Miss Pretty—“Oh, I wish I could have gone to college!" Sophomore Cousin (bowing again) “Why!” Miss Pretty—“lt must be nice to know so many men!"--Puck.
