When it was first mentioned that
the mills of the gods grind slowly l
have no doubt it was true. Every
thing was slow in those days. The
mills had always been grinding slowly
wien those words were frs. written,
perhaps as slowly as some OF the
courts grind at this time, and there
was no reason to believe they would
ever improve.
The observer added as sort OF
consolation that they grind exceeding
ly fine, and let it 60 at that. Even that
is more than can be said of some
courts, to continue the comparison
between the mills and the courts.
It is impossible to doubt that the
mills ground slowly after taking one
glance into the past We may recon-
Gle this condition to the crying need
OF those days by the reflection that all
machinery is imperfect at first. If
Robert Fulton could come back now
and be present at the anniversary
celebration he would have to admit
that the steamboats, he used to build
were dinky.

advanced as rapidly as steamships and
automobiles in recent years. but they

and studied elOcution. When he would
be at home. none of his mothers
friends would come to their house for
fear he would be asked to recite
'Lasca," of The Boy Stewed on the
Burning Deck for them.
He practiced in the squire's court
awhile and got to be right good petit
logger. Once he tried case in which
the main squeeze, William p. Sylla,
was prosecuting, and won it. Cicero
heard that Sylla was looking for him
with gun, and SO he went away from
there. Also Cicero's tummy gave him
lots of trouble. He had eaten once
at a lunch counter at a railway sta
ton when he was away at school and
had never recovered from it. But he
got some better. and returned when a
postcard from home told him Sylla had
quit looking for him.
Throughout his entire life, Cicero
was noted for his keenly appreciative
qualities. This wonderful faculty of
appreciation was largely used on him
