seven and IA half cents a yard. Armed
with this stock OF ignorance l at once pro-
cured a situation in the little clothing
store. then known as J. Bicknell, Jr The
business was still very small. About all
knew how to do was to pick up the loose
paper on the tfoor and that was about all
there was for me to do, and my salary, al
though more than | earned, was not large,
One of the accomplishments we both
brought with us from the farm was that
of country fiddler.
Customers were scarce and our large
surplus was in uDoccupied time. Many
hours were spent in the back shop in an
effort to get music out Of the old v!olins.
Slowly and steadily the business increas
ed and having shown my willingness to
learn. at the end of my first years clerk
Ship the little money | had brought with
me from the farm was added to the bust
ness and was partner in the firm which
has since been known as Bicknell Bros.
With increased capital and a better
knowledge of the business it began to in
crease more rapidly. 1t was now four
wears since the little store was opened
and we began to be crowded for room.
Larger accommodation were found in the
then new store in Howard's Block, 523
Essex street, where we found it necessary
to obtain more help. Renewed efforts
and original advertising year after year
still further increased the business and
we soon again became pressed for room.
Failing in an effort with our landlord
to remove partitions and give us the de-
sired room, after six years at 323 Essex
street we purchased the lot at 469 Essex
street and proceeded to build the block
especially for our business where we now
are. In the autumn of 1879 the grand
opening in our new block took place. The
occasion was enlivened by band of music.
The people looked on in amaZement for
it was then one Of the largest and most
deliberately appointed clothing houses in
New England outside of Boston.
Our competitors had a right to be jeal-
Gus, and they were. They watched the
growth of the so-called "Mushroon cloth
ing house and when our elaborate open
ing came they were profuse in their proph-
estes of failure. While they were wait
ing for their prophesy to materialize, the
people were encouraging Bicknel Bros. in
their efforts to please them by their patron
age and thus our trade gradually increased
until the crash of 90. In one feature of the
management of our business during these
twenty nine years, we feel justified in
claiming a degree of pride. Namely, we
have never borrowed a dollar with which
to pay for a bill of goods. Other features
which have led to the little success we
have had, would perhaps seem like boast
ing, and thus be ont of place in this his
torical sketch. Our extreme modesty
forbids. Bicknell Bros. Advertiser.

Gladstone's Place In History.

Gladstone's place in English history
will be high, and it will be quite apart
from any other. He will have no near
companionship in his fame. 1t will be,
we think, an eminence assigned to moral
qualities more than to intellectual powers
The very sincerity that his enemies have
denied to him will be counted perhaps the
loftiest of his claims. 1t will be seen that
few men of brilliant gifts and great ambi-
tions have sought with his earnestness for
the right in what they did or stood with
his courage by what they found 1t to be.
When he braved the scorn and anger of
the church which has always been more to
him than to most of its priests and chal-
ienged by the same act his own past in or
der to do justice to the people of another
creed, and when he made righteous peace
with the Beers in the face of storm of
English wrath, he rose to a greatness In
character that will be measured in future
time with clearer eyes than now. ATTAIN

Population In mamma.

1t is difficult TO make even an approx
mate estimate today of the numerical pop
ulation of Manila, but it probably consists
OF from 270, 900 TO 300, 600 souls. The lar
gest proportion OF these, excepting the ma
tives themselves, is composed of Chinese
and so called Chinese natives, exceeding
even that of the Spaniards. There is a
barge colony Of Germans and Swiss, who,
according TO rumor, are mainly response
tble for the present and recent uprisings,
, and also a handful of Scotch Englishmen
not too small n handful, however, to
maintain an " English club in the sub
urbs and "Tifiin club" down town.
The saying goes in the far east that If an
Englishman, "a Spaniard and an American
were TO be left upon desert island the
first would organize club, the second

REVOLUTION OR EVOLUTION
Change by Violence Was Essential when
Change by Law Was Impossible.


For more than century the people of
America and western Europe have been in
tremendous ferment. Nothing like the
activity of these 100 years has been known
since the religious awakening and the ac-
companying revival of learning in the six
teenth century. The century has been
marked by revolution and progress, and
for the last 90 years by the development Of
new energy in the process of political
evolution, or, rather, by the transformation
of an old potentially into a force which
has supplanted physical revolution. Sir
Henry Names chapter on this force-the
force of legislation-was designed to show
the crudity of an idea which underlies the
feverish activity of democracies in enact
ing laws, the idea that nature loves
change, although in all nonpolitical rela-
tions it is clear that men love to preserve
old habits and to cling to old ideas.
1t is true, as he said, that before the
passage of the reform bill of 1882 the Eng
lish parliament scarcely ever legislated,
for it is true that it was not until the peo-
pie finally succeeded in establishing the
principle that government is for them, for
their happiness, for their liberty, for their
good, that the making of laws became the
most serious business government. Revo-
luton was the predecessor of the rage for
legislation. Change by violence was es-
sential when change by law was impossi-
BILE or unknown. Change by violence and
by blood letting is thing of only yester-
day. But for us and perhaps for western
Europe the day Of violent revolution is
done, while the day of peaceful revolution
through lawmaking is full upon us.

March Winds.

far herald from the frozen north,
The green of grasses bringing,
With violets on the wayside slopes
And sounds Of bluebirds singing,
How shall we Joy 70 find thee here
When spring has slipped her tether,
Swift scattering from her, far and near,
Winds and the windy weather.
By night the wild goose phalanx lone
To polar zone Is flying,
By day the killdee plover thrills
The pastures with his crying.
The white light flung from faroff skies
Drifts downward like feather,
And bending marsh grass signifies
Winds and the windy weather.
The orchard sap begins to stir
AS swift the March wind passes.
The primrose and the wild flower meet
Where cool wood shadow masses,
And DER the hills the rain and sun
Troop down the days together
With weaving maze of blossoms spun,
Winds and the windy weather.

The March of the Dead Brigade.

No sound disturbs the drowsy dawn
As forms the dead brigade.
Its silent ranks, in serried lines,
Glide onward toward the springing pines,
All phantoms In parade.
Their steps bend not the dropping corn.
These warriors all are ghosts.
In rank and file, with solemn tread,
Their captains marching ut the head,
Move on these silent hosts.
From out the tented camp of death
Their flag Of peace displayed.
With football soft al dew at morn
These cohorts sweep the bending corn,
Where battle once was Laid.
The mark Of Gods eternal peace
Their countenances bear,
And, freed from all unholy hate,
They shine with that exalted state
Which heavens angels share.
