that Milton should receive for his
immortal work i've pounds down,

five pounds each after the sale of
two more editions OF the same size,

But Milton did more than write
Paradise Lost" He wrote, among

made by man for the freedom Of

which we live, and the one great
guarantee for the future peace and

John Milton with the possible eX-

Gated, unread, uncultivated youth
But at middle age he is no more
that crude, gawky, unlettered bow
than his Immaculate broadcloth is
the blue denim Of the overans he
used TO wear. He has worked. and
studied, and improved, and polished
himself in mind and body, and the
woman who has stayed just as she
was. who has not advanced an inch
IN any way, and who was the wife
of his youth, is the wife of his ma.
turity in name only.
They have not one single thing in
common, not one taste, not one in
terest, not one idea, and in the
pathos of their lot he is just as
much to be pitied as she.
Nay, more, for it is always the
one with the keener intellect, the
more far-seeing eye, that suffers
most. The grounding can. to
large extent, be satisfied with ma
terial things, but the one who scars

what life might be in the rapture o,
a perfect companionship.
In all the world there is nothing
more terrible or more sorrowfuI
than this development Of one Of
married pair, while the other is
stunted. Nor is it always the hus-
band that grows away from his
wife. Sometimes it is the woman
whose mind and heart get bigger

In such cases the woman who has
outgrown her husband clanks the

Turing this past winter there
l. have been two interesting
and successful plays pre-
scented in New York that had for
their theme the trading OF old
wives for new.
In each of these plays the hero
was a self made man. He had be-
gun life as a poor boy of humble
social station, and by his own
brains and Drawn, and grit, and
determination he had worked him.
self up to fame and fortune, so that
at middle life he sat among kings,
as it were! And in his climbing up
the ladder this man had educated
himself and had been educated by
life until he took his place among
the highest in the land as an equal.
He was fitted Tor the place he filled.
Each of these men had married a
girl of his own people when he was
very young. She had been a de-
voted and faithful wife to him, and
in the stress of his beginnings had
toiled with him. She had washed
his clothes. and patched his trous-
ers, and cooked his dinners and had
been perfectly happy in doing so,
but she could not climb with him,
or she would not climb with him.
SO in the end she was left at the
bottom of the ladder, while he was
at the top, and the play resolved
itself around the mans effort to
find some answer to this common
and insoluble problem Of matri-
mony where one of a couple out
grows the other.
