a bigger audience than that which
turned out to see the musical extrava-

was given in the interests of the
Philatheas and Barracks of the First
Presbyterian church. The News goes
to press too early to prepare an ac-

echo the word of thanks of the mem
bers of the Presbyterian church to the
people for their patronage and en-
dorsement. The play was a most
pronounced success from every angle
at which it is regarded.

The Skeptieism of Posterity.

There is one very large. very sad
and very certain truth about all the rel
lations of past and future. That truth
is this-the future will not believe us.
1t will not believe our most solemn and
profound assertions 1t will rationalize
them or ridicule them. In one way or
another it will explain them away. for
that is the most certain thing about the
attitude of men toward their remote
ancestors. They will believe the testl-
mony Of material things or of their own
conjectures, but never the sworn word
of their fathers. Were it not so there
would be no room for historical criti-
cism or perhaps for history as sci
ence at all.-Hillaire Belloc in Pail
