which cost more than half a mil

auction at Chicago as old junk and

his salary, never drew cent and

Since then other men have made

Russia has periodical spells of

Any one who takes the pains to
scan the literature and look be-
meath the surface thought of the
present day cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with the conviction that
the worlds keynote at present is
optimism. There is of course
dissatisfaction, there is always
discomfort, these are always
present among men. There never
was a time when people were
completely satisfied, but above
the undertone of murmur and
dissatisfaction there is the general
chorus of rejoicing that the world
is as good as it is. It is not as
good as it should be, still all things
considered, it is better than it was
when we came into it and will
likely be still further improved
after we have gone out of it. The
improvement may not be visible
from year to year. perhaps not
even from one decade to another,
but by taking a longer period OF
time into consideration, any one
can see that an advance has been
made. Civilization does not go
backward. There have been times
in the worlds history when it
seemed to do SO. Men say that
the civilization of the Roman
Empire, for instance, was over
whelmed by the barbarism of the
north, but as matter of fact, the
northern tribes which swept over
Southern Europe like resistless
flood were more truly civilized in
the highest sense of the word than
the degenerate, vicious popula-
ton of the empire. From the
dawn of written history, perhaps
for ages before, the progress OF
the world has been forever on
ward and upward and there is no
reason why it should not be con-
tinued.
