worst of all.

1t is the same old thing over again.
The first man, who taught the world
to be round and moving, was burned
at the stake. They came near destroy
ing Fulton's vessel when he endeavored
to demonstrate to the people the pos
sibilities of navigating with the aid Of
steam. Ever and anew these buckers
put their heels down in the ground,
throw their weight backward and at
tempt to hold back or stop the train
OF progress. We have seen consider
able Of the same spirit the dominant
factor in retarding the upbuilding and
wholesome growth of a town and COM
munity. It's the same spirit which
prompted women to kindle the fire,
when Johan Huss was burned at the
stake, and aiterward on their knees
thanking God for giving them such a
grand opportunity to show their de-
votion to the church. But the onward
march of civilization and progress has
swept by these petty obstacles, and the
knockers were hardly aware OF it's
presence before they found themselves
far in the wake, tumbling along in
the maelstrom OF progress simply be-
cause they couldn't prevent it. II this
people knew how little their work
amounts to in the attempt to stop
commercial progress, they would quit
kicking and start pushing.
