The Progress of
Civilization
Nil Desperandum

Ever since the advent of Adam
into the world, man has been striv
ing to better the conditions of things
necessary to his comfort. How far
he has succeeded is shown by the
high state of civilization that exists
in this present century. We open
ly boast of our twentieth century Of
civilization, and point out the inno-
vations that have been introduced to
better the lot of mankind; we believe
we have reached the acme of per-
lection and deplore conditions that
existed few years ago, and yet in
spite of all this, are we any better
for it? Are the people as race
healthier, stronger, or more intellect
ual than they were few centuries
ago? No, they are not.
Taking into consideration the con-
ditions that existed hundreds of
years ago, and the conditions that
exist at the present time, we are,

The Women of
Dickens
w. c. Van. D.

Sairey Gamp:-Oh, there was
gay old bird! What great talks she
used to have with Miss 'Arris;
put the brandy on the mantle piece,
my dear, and leave it there in case
I feel so disposed" sounds quite nat
ural, doesn't it, and how she rlled up
that old female terrier, Betsy Prig,
with her remark, whatever you
does Betsy drink fair"
Fashions in nurses change and the
average physician has better taste
nowadays. in outward appearances
at any rate, but at heart the modern
nurse is not a whit better than old
drunken Sairey. A little bet
ter looking and younger that's all;
she cares just as little about the
patient as old Sairy did and her W inc
supper with her favorite doctor,
takes the place of Sairey's lonesome
debauch.
Lady Dedlock:- Cold, proud and
aristocratic to the finger tips, type
of everything that woman would
wish to be-but read the story be-
tween the lines. A slip in her youth,
and the remembrance of an aband-
oned child stick fast in her memory;
and the haunting dread of revela
ton hangs over her until al last her
dead body told the tale, as it lay in
an unmarked grave in forgotten
cemetery.
Dickens was not quite so familiar
with this type as he was with some
others. If he had been he would
have known that she would have
been quite happy as Lady Dedlock,
and that although her lover was dead
and her husband old; dead >lovers
are not mourned for ever nor are
they irreplacable.
Mrs Micaw ber:-With twins of
course because she didn't have
enough to eat half of the time. She
would send little David out to pawn
some household article and then in
dulge in long talks about her ex-
treme gentility. She would cry her
self half sick over an empty fire
place and half an hour later would
help her old man to empty bottle
of the best" She was very fond OF
saying Tll never desert Mr. Micaw-
-ber" OF course she would'nt her
type of women will never desert
anything ia the shape of man, you
couldn't drive one of them off. She
wasn't bad old sort however ex-

My Prayer.
ReaI1 ESnrita

Father,
To Thee kneel in humble penitence.
Forgive my sins; teach me to walk Alright
Within Thy sight:
Accept the thanks and praises that bring
Before Thy throne
For mercies unto to me that Thou hast shown;
Strengthen and guide me; lead my wayward
steps
In righteous paths.
Jesus.
Teacher. direct me in an humble way
That as 1 strive toward planes above this earth
That gave me birth
1 yet may see and turn to those who strive.
Wearied. beside me, and abide
To comfort them, until the turning tide
Renew their strength. That my loss be their
gain
''Tis gain enough.
Master.
Teach me that I may love the lowly sward.
Each blade Thy gift; may value it as such
And make it much;
That may emulate Earth's humble note.
Eternal praise.
And voicing it, may swell it till it raise
The Song of Truth so that some other hears
This is my prayer.

him in the morning."
The speaker was the foreman of
construction crew, and the listen
er was the superintendent. A big
company was building a reservoir.
which involved roads, mills and all
sorts of things.
Now, Swift, I know just how
you feel about it. Suppose you say
nothing more, but send him to me.
And how did you pick this up?
From one of the new men?"
Yes"
well, send the ex' to me in the
morning, and send the fellow who
told you in the afternoon. I want
to try an experiment.
The foreman looked frankly dis
gusted. Il think it's a lot better to
let him 60 quietly, and at once.
| Perhaps the other fellow had better
go, too. But it's all around by now,

dent, laughing. Perhaps it will
not be the best thing. But really,
Swift, what want to do is to take
time enough to find out what is the
wisest course, considering the man
himself. You know that he is a
good workman"
Yes, Mr.. Rowland, none better"
Early the next morning Daley
came to the office. He was a big,
black bearded fellow, neither young
nor old. He had a slouch, and eyes
that locked up their own secrets.
The superintendent studied him
intently, but invisibly; he liked the
man at once.

says we have no better workman on
the job"
Surprise glimmered little in his
eyes, and was banked at once; he
had expected very different salute

Thin said Daley, with little
twist in his voice, "Ye think a man
that runs crooked can get on the
thrack agin?"
Il do; of course I do," the super
intendent replied.

cept for tendency towards twins
and tears, and perhaps under the cir
cumstances both were natural.
Agnes and Dora: ~ ou must con-
slder them together because the two
characters make one real woman.
The sweet playfulness of Dora is the
youth of the woman you love, while
the wholesomeness cf Agnes is the
ripened charm that comes with age
and experience of life. Dora and
Agnes combined make the ideal of
wifely charm, and no cleaner, health
ier picture of womanhood has ever
been drawn by an author, living or
dead. Lucky is the man who, in his
youth. can meet his Dora and dis
cover in his later life that she was
really Agnes. The Dora in every
woman must die before the Agnes
can be born and luckily for the
world such women are not as rare as
the cynics would have us believe.
Nancy:-Down deep in the under
world where the Bill Sykes of today
prowl and sometimes flourish; there
you will find her. An object of
scorn to the unco guild but with a
heart that beats as true for her man
as ever maiden's did for the most
knightly lover. Her only reward a
curse or blow, yet she gives all she
has, her body and her soul, with the
most unselfsh devotion and asks and
expects nothing, not even kindness.

that society made possible for her,
Surely the mother of God will inter-
cede for her and procure for her
that peace in the other life that was
denied to her in this.
Little Nell:-The anegl child. Of
course she was too good to be real
child. She had to die young be-
cause not even Dickens could keep
up the pace and form a picture of
what such an abnormably good little
girl would be when she grew up.
Just imagine a grown girl with the
disposition of little Nell. Suppose
some venturesome youth invited her
to take a stroll in the moonlight she
probably would call his attention to
the condition of his soul or make
some other remark equally embaras-
sing Suppose little Nell did final

still kept up her angelic disposition,
what a reversal of the old joke she
would be!

speaking, at stand
still. Looking back to the stone age
we find man in his primitive state;
then there was no need for high
state of civilization, he was untram-
m lie d by tn e conventionalities.
which surround present day civili-
zation, and which only tend to ret
rograde movements. The. lack of
education was no drawback to him:
at that time it was not needed. If
he needed food he set out and pro.
cured it with apparently little effort.
Crime was unknown then, that is,
what would be called crime now.
Comparing the state of civilization
that existed then and what exists to-
day we find it about equal. In
adopting this course of reasoning we
take into consideration the environ
ment of the people, their ability as
food-getters. and how much they
have contributed to the worlds
progress. if any at all, the balance is
in favor of primitive man. This
may easily be explained. In the
stone age the population of the
world was not nearly SO great as
what it is now, mans wants were
few. AS the population increased
so did civilization improve, and with
this increase and Improvement mans
wants became more; things that were
not needed before become necessi-
ties now; competition began to grow,
causing the introduction of labor
saving devices, which, altho tending
to improve conditions, have, at the
same time lessened the demand for
labor and consequently have thrown
out of work. men who are burden
on the country. If the present day
civilization and all the recent inno-
vations existed, with the same popu-
lation of centuries ago, we would
have good cause to congratulate our
selves on our attainments. AS it is
we have not the slightest excuse to
eulogize our present century meth
Ods.
If this is the twentieth century of
enlightenment what viii be the
twenty-tifth? Competitor was never
keener than it is now, living was
never higher; sooner or later things
will clash. While years ago even
the slig excuse for an education
would suffice, today one has to have
a comprehensive knowledge of every
conceivable subject in order to gain
lucrative position. We take for
example many Of the races that ex-
ist today almost in a primitive state,
and compare them with our own
progressive and intellectual race, as
regards law and order we are far in
the rear, and other comparisons
would result Just as unfavorable to
us. Civilization of today is .neces-
sary to cope with the wants and de-
sires of the increasing population
whereas it was unnecessary to a
certain extent centuries ago. We
are no better off today as regards
conditions of living than our ances-
tors were. In fact, as / have before
remarked we are at standstill.

a hand out on his.
It's all right, my friend. You
ought to be a happy man, because
when you did wrong. society found
you out, and made you pay the
price. You have paid it fully. No
one has any right to stick outside
expense charges on you, Nike
Daley looked at the superinten-
dent. Something new and more
wonderful than words could des-
cribe come up out of the depths of
his eyes, and gazed at Rowland.
Its name was Hope,
My friend" said the superinten-
dent, Il mean it all. Go to that
shelf, and borrow any books you
want. Come in and talk them over
with me. You have ability; now
study hard, and climb up" He
shook hands with Daley and sent
him back to his work with the re-
quest:
Please tell Mr.. Swift to come in
at noon."
Mike Daley went out, in a sort of
trembling rebirth, and entered the
world of men.
Twiest he called me his friend,
twiestr' he whispered under his
breath.
Swift came in at noon, and the
superintendent took him into the in
ner office, looked at him thought
fully, questioned within himself
where to begin.
L want to tell you about something
which happened great many years
ago, Swift, back in Hartford. There
was boy there who became dissi-
pated, fell under the influence of
bad woman, and,-and, Swift, he
finally stole quite lot of money.
Then his older brother, who was
your own father, came along, and
paid the money, hushed it all up,
put the youngster at hard work out
West, and made splendid man of
him.
All that is gospel TRUTH" said
Swift, but how in heavens name
did you know about it?''
The man he stole the money
from did not keep his promise not to
tell. It became known to a number
of people"
That scoundrel ought to have
been thrashed," cried Swift, in rage.
Certainly" said the superinten-
dent, going on to draw the deadly
parallel with the case of poor Daley,
and finally sending him out firm
alley in the cause.
Before Swift, left, the man who
had told on Daley came in. The
superintendent neglec e d him a
while, watched and studied him,
then suddenly turned loose:
Malby," he said, how long did
you serve timer"
Six-no, sir. Never!.'
Where was it?'' said the super
intendent, overriding the denial.
The man told him, yielding to the
inevitable.
That's where you heard of my
friend Mike Daley, then?'
Yes"
We'll, don't you feel just a little
mean about: all this? Mike is bet
ter man than you are"
Malby began series of voluble
protestations and explanations. 1t
was an accident; it won't happen
again."
The superintendent turned to
Swift: Send this man to the other
end of the reservoir. If he talks
any more about any of his fellow
workers on this job, fire him quick.
If he behaves, give him just the
same sort of square deal that the
rest are having"
Come on, Malby," said Swift.
