ments' leisure from business, he allowed
his memory to revert back some seventy
or seventy-tive years to his boyhood
days. why" said he, this country at
that time was a very small affair, COM
pared to what it Is to-day. In fact, our
Government in those days was hardly
anything more than an experiment. But
how different nowi Here we are, at the
doorway of the second century, the great
est nation on the face of the earth No
one in those days ever dreamed of Cali
fornia such as we enjoy to-day" Major
Wilcoxen starts out tor his next anniver-
sary as hale and robust as if he were but
90 years old, instead OF IS.
