Two Young Men Who Have Built Up q

Pessimists and croakers are fond Of call

describing it as deserted village. when the
contrary is really the truth. No town any,
where else affords the same chance of ad-
vancement in return for earnest endeavors,
as does this. The progress and steady ad.
vancement Of all legitimate business is
proof of all we say. Nine years ago, in a
very small store. two boys started business
on Sixth street, and to-day they are arrang-

the city. BY attending to business they
have built up prosperous trade, and when

put the card aside on my desk,
under vase of violets, and it was not
till one morning, nearly week later,
that came across it again.
Now, every day you meet people in a
street car whom you look at for an in
| slant with more or less attentions; but,
in my case, had hardly had n glimpse
of tie mother or the daughter, and had
not even the least idea if they were
pretty or otherwise. From their accent
and manner, however, there could be
no doubt they were of the upper world
but, after all, of what interest could
they be to me?
Nevertheless, did feel interested, so
why should attempt to deny it? Their
address had been given to me, and also
their day at home. The address was
printed, but "the day" was written in
modern, angular English hand Not
so the lines of thanks; the handwriting
there was the delicate, precise kind
that young misses were taught thirty
years ago. The mother had certainly
written them.
But who had written ''the day?"
l became curious. How could find
out? Yes, there was way. But to
call on people with whom 1 had only
exchanged few words, almost on the
street, and who, in week, might have
forgotten both my name and my face,
was rather delicate matter. Then
should have to undergo the torture of
feeling myself an intruder, as the
servant would announce me in the re-
ception room where, perhaps, half-a-
dozen ladies, unknown to me, would
look me over from head to foot as ad-
vanced, as if to ask: "Who is this
person, and where does he come
from?".e s a4t sert

ANTIQUITY OF CIVILIZATION.
Evidences of Organized States in PrehIs.
tOrlc Times.

Evidences of Organized States in PrehIs-
torlc Times.
We cannot hut be struck with the
immense antiquity of civilization in
western Asia, whence, as center,
trade, art and literature spread west
ward to the Greeks and Italians, and
eastward to India and China The
monuments show us that at least as
early us $500 B. G. distinct civilizations
existed in Chaldea, in Syria and in
Egypt. 1t is true that the early date
which has been assigned to Menes, by
scholars who reckon thirty years as
the average reign of anzEgy ptian mon-
arch (whereas the dated reigns often
do not exceed five or six), rests on no
secure basis, and extravagant estimates,
based on equally unsafe deductions,
have been offered by some of our
cuneiform scholars, who would carry
back Akkadian civilization to 1000 B.
c.; but those extravagancies do not dis
credit the facts which are deduced from
better data, and which show that
even earlier than the period usually as
signed as the time when the pastoral
Hebrew patriarchs found their way
along the Euphrates and through Syria
to Egypt, there were organized states,
walled towns, chariots and horses,
riches of gold and silver. bronze and
iron, of corn, wine and oil, not only
among the Akkadians and in Egypt,
but also in Ph9nicia and in Palestine

and Costa Rican flags were waving over
the depot, and the streets lined with
bunting in his honor.
Mr.. Keith is the life and soul of the re-
public's progress and is looked upon as
kind of king by the more ignorant
classes. He is nephew of Gen. Meiggs,
the famous builder of the Peruvian rail-
ways, and came here from Brooklyn,
N. Y, about twenty years ago, in COM
paratively poor circumstances, but full
of vim, Yankee pluck and American
grit.
To-day he is at the head of the coun-
try's railway system; owns immense
banana plantations and cattle ranches,
stretching from so to 20 miles along the
line Of the railway; does two-thirds Of
the banking business of the republic;
possesses numerous coffee farms, sugar
cane hactendas by the dozen, and is in
terested in gold mines, tramway lines,
electric light plants, ice factories, beer
brewcries, and owns besides half a
million acres of wild lands. In short,
1t is said, he can draw his check any
day for couple of million dollars,
against his own banking house in Lon
don.
Costa Ricans are proud of Keith, and
they have cause to be. When he came
among them, Port Limon was fishing
village numbering but half dozen
huts, and it required three weeks time
to reach the capital at San Jose over
the poorest of mountain mule roads
now one can board the morning train
at Limon, which has grown into quite
respectable little city, and after ten
hours ride through the most pictur-
esque of mountain scenery, take din
ner at five with his friends in the ma
tional metropolis. Itrequired over z, 900
men, working steadily, over three years
to put the line through.
