farther back than our hoyhood days, we
can sec a marked Improvement in the
condition Of affairs, men and animals.
1t is useless to 20 OK to the dark age-
when men were put to the rack for their
opinions .ako; as in the days of the
Spanish sIuquisi,iou; nor to medieval
history when Superstition ruled a majority
who in that age were considered enlight-
ened; neither to the witchcraft of later
day when a judge upon the bench could
say "to deny witchcraft is to deny revela-
ton, but we can come down to our own
knowledge of twenty or thirty years ago
It used TO be no uncommon thiug-as
am inforned-in the days of the ore
business around Milton, and which many
may remember. for the haulers of the ore
to be in town by daylight, waiting to
unload their ore. Aud when they were
paid a majority would get a jug Of rum,
pound Of coffee. and the resi- in some
thing else. Now his is all changed.
Not that tn country is amy better for the
d VS. of iron ore being passed; but the
people have grown better, if not wiser
Aud Why is this It is because educ 'tiou
and ci ,i.izsdou. .twiu brothers, are revo'u-
tioniziug the World. What is it that
keeps The graudees eff the necks Of the
lower classes today? It is tbe civiIiza
ton os the country. It is tile education
of the times. Many of the laym@n Of
to-day know as much as do their teachers
And were it not for this education among
the laymeu their leaders now would
throttle them with as much impunity as
did the leaders Of Rome in the Sixteenth
aud Seventeenth Centuries. It is said
"humau nature The same everywhere
We believe this. But there is a power
that keeps "hmuan ua.are' under and
makes it sul-uryicn, to The will of others
That power is civilization and education.
Ned we advance any further proof of
our subject? Why, The very animals
have become more dociie and obedien..
/ recall When a boy, that It was no uu-
co 'mou thi"g to see boys going Ground
with a great scar on their head or fore
head, and when asked what made that
scar, the reply would be, - horse kicked
ME Now we st dou see a boy or uan
S ared up by the aick of horse, aud this
shows that tae horses are getting better.
And it is the same with other animals
We shal contend the wurll is growing
better

day afternoon Miss Eva Smith and Miss

tion as delega es, which held its session

The little Milton girls, ana he older
ones, too, are getting to be ladies in every
acceptatiou of the word. This is notice
ably, aud the question naturally arises:
as this due to our new Superintendent
lf Schools?"

Ex State Treasurer G. II. Atkins will
have phone put into his home This
