A Hundred Years Ago.

leaped forth in the astonishing powcrit is.
One hundred years ago, says an exchange,

Then what is now the most fourshing part
of America was as little known as the coun-

Kentucky" tho gallant and adventurous
Boone, left his home in North Carolina to
become the first settler in Kentucky. The
first pioneer in Ohio did not settle until
twenty years after this time. A hundred
years ago Canada belonged to France, and
the whole population of the United States
did not exceed million and half of peo-

exploits which nave made him Immortal III

great Powers of Europe combined. A hun

Washington WAS young and modest Vir-
ginia colonel and the great events in the
history of the two worlds, in which these
two great but dissimilar men took leadino
parts, were then scarcely forcshadowcd. -
