Mailed to any address on trial, every week from now to January 1, 1899, on receipt of only Ten Cents (Silver or Stamps)

The Saturday Evening Post has been published weekly since 1728 --170 years--and is unique in illustration and literary excellence.

AMERICAN KINGS AND THEIR KINGDOMS

Will tell the stories of the several greatest money-monarchs of our country--how they acquired and how they retain their power.

THE POST'S SERIES OF PRACTICAL SERMONS

By the great preachers of the world; it gives real, personal non-sectarian help toward better living.

UNDER THE EVENING LAMP; HALF HOURS WITH SONG AND STORY

A page bearing this title gives an entertaining collection of short bits of that sort of reading that one does not care to miss--anecdotes, information, the strange and the wonderful are all touched upon interestingly.

THE PASSING OF THE OLD NAVY

Two charming articles on the romance, antique customs and duties of the old trading-vessels, the progress of modern naval science, and how invention has killed much of the poetry of sea life. One of the best American illustrators of marine life is now painting pictures that will accompany this series.

THE PERSONAL SIDE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST ACTORS

A series of articles portraying our best known actors in their home life, and showing its relation to their struggles and successes. The series will open in an early number with the " Personal Side of Sol. Smith Russell," to be followed by four others, profusely illustrated by photographs and original drawings.

The regular subscription price of the POST is $2.50 per year. It is offered on trial for so small a sum simply to introduce it.

There are 16 pages every week, the same size as THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL, and as handsomely illustrated and printed. 

THE BOOK OF THE WEEK

Will deal with the week's foremost offering from American publishers--an extensive review will be given in many cases, a reading from the book itself, a brief story of the author's life--all fully illustrated.
