The KICKER.
A Theory Of His Rise and
Progress.

The word wkicker" is no more slang,
but an honorable term admitted by the
photographer to the round table of
English speech. This acceptance of the
wozd proves that there was real need
for it that certain class of people had
no word in the English language to
fifty designate them. AS class these
kickers must be as modern as the word
which describes them. They are in eff
feet new product of our latest civiliza-
ton. The word which describes the
kicker is picturesque. 1t suggests the
mule whose kicking is usually done out

The Old and the New.

| The old year with all its joys and
sorrows, its successes and disappoint-
raents is fast drawing to close, and a
new year with all its possibilities is
just ready to be ushered in to the cal:
ender of time, and all are looking for
ward to its edvent with hope ard prom
ise. yet who can tell what 1902 may
bring to the waiting millions of the sons
and daughters of man. Gould we but
draw aside the veil that hides the flu
ture from our view, and yet, no doubt,
1T is best that such power does not ex-
ist-better wait for the tear of sorrow
or the smile of Joy to come to us unex-
pected than to be waiting for the com
ing.
Over Nineteen hundred years have
passed away since the angels of God
appeared to the humble shepherds on
the plains of Judaa, and with shouts of
great joy. proclaimed the glad tlding
that Christ the Lord was born, with
Peace. on earth, good will to mar.
| Since then, nations have been born
| tlourished for season and then fell in
to decay Rome, the proud mistress of
the world, the city on the seven hills
is now but the shadow of her former
self; Egypt the cradle of art and sci
ence, of poetry and song. has long been
darkness, her great men and dark eyed
maidens have passed away and now
her glory is only in name; Napoleon,
the mighty hero, whose marching Eosts
whose tread shook the foundations of
the governments of Europe, met his
| Waterloo and died prisoner on the
desolate island OF Helena.
| America, "the land of the free and
home of the brave" yet lives, but may
| it not in an evil hour, sow the seed of
national decay? Nations like individ
uals, reach their zenith, then decay.
Today her sails of commerce whiten
every sea, and her flag is the symbol of
law, justice and power, while the name
Washington live and is hailed with Joy
on land and sea. We can only wish
that 1T has only commenced its upward
move and will continue to grow and
prosper, astonishing the world by its
progress i'm art. science, and all that
makes q nation great, mighty and hap
Ply.
| Ambition the enemy of man and M.
tions, has dug the grave Of more men
and nations than all other things com
bined. Caesar, the mighty hero, when
he reached the lubicon, the boundry
line of Rome, he hesitated for q mo-
ment then crossed over, then Roman
power tottered and fell. In conquest
her power declined, and the Roman
Eagles were trailed in the dust. Can
we learn wisdom by experience is now
the question before the American peo-
pie and on its determination may de-
pend the progress, prosperity and per-
petuity of this, the grandest political
| fabric ever reared by man.
| May we hope that we, as nation,
have only commenced the upward jour
ney of life, and in the ages to come,
generations yet unborn may rise up to
call us blessed, that our flag shall con-
tinue to be the emblem of peace, pros
perity and civil liberty, and our name,
like the flow of the rivers, have no end.

in Missouri Valley for the licen-

canvassed by the board of super
