MILE POSTS or PROGRESS.

That blessings appear brighter
a. they take their fight, We are
all ready to admit, but with the
passing of youth We reluctantly
acknowledge that the present is
the best time the world has ever
known, and a better time still
may await US in the future.
We condemn the political COR
ruption of the day, but forget
the intrigues and frauds OF the
past. Upon the same principle
we forget the wickedness of the
tyrant and remember the great
ness of the truly good rulers and
statesmen.
As it is only the good that
lives, it must mark our steps to-
ward progress. The public school
system is an evidence OF a for
ward movement, which will yet
bless every civilized nation I'M
der the sun, and marks an era in
the history Of our nation.
!. Another undoubted evidence
Of our progress 3 the hberality
ia gifts from monied men toward
Libraries and higher education.
Whereas in the past the opulen'
spent their surplus cash upon
costly monuments, palatial resi-
dences and pleasures, which
benefited only themselves, they
now donate fortunes toward the
education and uplifting of tbs
less fortunate and for the furthe-
rance Of science.
Never too, was there greatel
b snificence in the support oi
c ,aritable institutions. The num-
Der Of hospitals and homes fol

in war there Is a decided tenden'
cy toward kindness and charity

and lofty plain of living, ant

to mark progress by such mile

There was terrible commotion among
the inhabitants of Hareyllle. The March
lions and the March lambs and lambkins
could hear it from their respective
abodes, the lions from the deep wood in
the heart of the forest and the lambs
and lambkins from their delightful valley
protected from the winds and storms by
O range of purple mountains.
When the noise reached the ears of the
lions they came from their lair to prick
I'D listening ears and TO put scenting
noses to earth. The lambs and lambkins,
domain of their neighbors, gathered to-
gether to hold council. What can it
be?' asked one of the older lambs of the
flock. "There is some sort of trouble in
Hareyille," answered another lamb. one
of the favorites of the flock. And all the
Iambkins sat up '.Baa. baa, baa." with
all their pretty might.
The lions in their lair heard the lamb
kins, and their pitiful bleatings caused
the lion cubs to begin roaring. These
noises of wood and valley, added to that
coming from HarevilIe, where the March
bares dwet, made the whole countryside
tremble like an earthquake.

Queens Of England.

Anne OF Cleyes, fourth wife OF Henry
VIII, was young German woman of
plain face and figure, good sort of soul,
simple in taste aud OF a domestic nature,
having been brought up In the closest
companionshp OF her thrifty and house
wlfely mother She was little educated,
for al that time the German people
scorned the notion of girls learning the
languages and music. The needle and
household management were considered
more fitting 'plishments for the falr
sex. Therefore, wnen Anne came TO
Henry VIII. she fell far short In his
critical eye, both physically and mentally.
Indeed, the very moment Henry eyes
fell upon Anne OF Cleves he drew long
face and was heard to murmur the most
uncomplimentary things to his courtiers
about the physical bemishes of his bride
to-be.
And at that very moment Henry deter
mined to be rid of so ungainly woman,
either before or after marriage. In vain
he urged Cromwell to ''ind II remedy to
prevent the marriage, but matters had
gone too far and Cromwell urged Henry
to fulfil his marriage agreement. Most I'M
willingly Henry acquiesced, but Cromwelfs
doom was sealed And from tn2 hour when
he welded Anne of Cloves Henry began to
scheme to. have the marriage annuled.
1t Is needless to say Tat he accomplished
his desires, for Henry was not one 10
suffer n disappointment. Within n short
time Henry found excuse To be rid OF
his fourth wife. Previous to Henry's
negotiations for Annes hand in marriage
she had been betrothed to II young Ger
man nobleman. This was reason sufficient
TO have his marriage with her annulled,
and parliament confirmed his decision.
Anne, perhaps well Informed about the
fates Of Henry's former wives, and ap-
prehensive about her own fate should she
declare to stand for her rights, calmly
agreed 90 the arrangement by wnlch she
was to become the kings most dear SIS
ter" instead of his queen. Henry, well
pleased with her docilty, gave her fine
country estate, servants and plenty of
money to keep up her establishment In
grand STYLE also writing her ''brotheriy
letter" In which he told her she should
he welcome at court whenever 1t pleased
her to present herself there. Also that
