would date away Dack Oeiofo
Christ, and during his life time he wou'o
have seen nation after nation rise anu
fall. He would be able to inform the
world about all these stories wnich are
found in history AMI the Bible. and dis
testimony on such subjects would every
where be received with veneration anu
law. He would be more than twice as
old AS the oldest man ever mentioned
and provided his beard had never been
shaved, it would be about seven nun,
dred feet long, The old man couid ten
us all about the cronies of his CHILDHOOD;
how he and Nero were accustomed 10
burn Christians at Rome. and now ne
used to play pedro with julius Caesar IN
the Capitol. He could tell US all ABOUT
the building of the Pantheon and Coios-
senm. perchauce even to-day In the
latter structure he could show the spot
| vhere Hadrian and Titus were accus-
toned to sit. How many yarns he could
| snin about the grandeur of fallen Rome;
how manv stories he could tell OF de-
| narted plorv and worth! Perchance .
1irtation in his youth would be men
toned now with q sigh; perchance ne
wonld have had q thousand wives In DIS
life He could tell US all about the
chaos and corruption of the ages OF the
| earth: the discovery of America wouio
be to him of a very recent date. Wnat
a remarkable amount of learning ne
vould have; how much he would De
reyered in the world at large. And yet
No snch man lives to-day. He is only q
creature of the imagination; only . myth
without being or form. The earth Will
continue to rotate in its old fashioned
nav: the seasons will come and the sea-
sons will go; nations will appear on the
stage of life and then pass into history
forever. The Nevada Assembly Will
meet and disband session after session
the Third House will be known only as
a relic Of the past, but this old sovereign,
Of byeone days, this ideal gray haired
natriarch of the world will have no ex-
istence in truth, but will ever exist as an
imaginary creature of the fancy ana
brain.
