STORY OH THU CLNTURY.
WATCtt Ml.TINU.
5mUe up n the I'as.sing of th
car tit Century Into History.
Tomorrow we will be living in a
new century. At midnight tonight
we cross the line from the old ccn
tury to the new. The world Is
ablaze with the dory of nian'g
achievement it throb with an
irresistible energy; it is a voat
panorama of life in multiplied and
amazing forces. The century we
are leaving behind has eet in mo-
tion the powers of man and imture.
Never before has it been the privi-
lege of humanity to live in ouch a
century and pass it on. But the
glare of the world's greatnesH
should not blind our eyeB to the
fact that it is continually passing
out of the hands that have made
it great. The bands and brains
that are now moving the world
will ere long bo still and the minds
that now throb with thought will
. goon cease to think. The children
which the nineteenth century took
into its arms when it was young
have passed out from this earth-
lite long ago and the multitudes
who went lorth to turn this Aooeri-
can wilderness into a magnificent
civilization have gone to their re-
gard. Where are the men who
cut down forests made fields
hewed out highways bridged
streams tunneled through mount-
ains and built cities? And where
are ibet young wives who went
with their husbands through the
path of the pioneer? Some' of
them have tombs with figures tell-
ing us when tbey were born and
when they died but the vast un-
counties thousands have not eyen
. a Btone to mark their graves. They
lived and toiled and died and
-time went on and the same will
be the case with us.
One of the great objects in life is
to make a greater grander more
luxurious and a better world for
those who come after us to live in.
You pass a house which a man
built with great toil and sacrifice.
.He don't live there now; it is the
home of another. The field which
?he fenced and plowed and grew
old and bent In cultivating is now
yielding its crops to another and
from the limbs of the apple trees
he planted other hands are gather-
ing the fruit.
Over yonder on that prairie hill-
side is a little Btone which marks
- Lis grave and beside it is the grave
of the wife who journeyed with
him up the slope of years and
-over the hill of life to where the
shadows lengthened and whose
face became furrowed and hair
.gray in the labor and endless toil
of life. Multiply these lives into
millions and you have the story of
-the century.
Then the thousands of soldiers'
graves that have been gathered
from Gettysburg and Shilob Chick-
amauga and ElCaneyand Manila.
The gates of lime have shut bard!
against young manhood and these j
graves have closed over the joys
and hopes of youth but they are
.perpetual reminders of human
. conflict and national tragedy. The
world would not eeem so splendid
. today had they not died

As a newspaper the reputation of the Globe-Democrat is world-wide. It is
known and it circulates wherever the English language is read. Its weekly edi-
tion issued in semi-weekly sections at one dollar per year is almost equal to a
daily at the price of a weekly. It gives the latest telegraphic news from all the
world every Tuesday and Friday. Reports ot current events are carried forward
from Election to section and the complete news of the world in full telegrams is
contained in the two sections.
As a home iournal it has no equal. Its departments devoted to "The Farm.
Garden and Dairy" "The Family Circle" and "The Home" are each of the high-
est and most helpful character. Its market reports are correct and complete in
every detail. An interesting story is continued from issue to issue and it has
many other features which combine to furnish help amusement and instruction
for people in all conditions and circumstances of life.
In each department and as a whole the Weekly Globe-Democrat issued in
semi-weekly sections is the peer of any family newspaper in the world and it
ought to be at every fireside during the cominii year. Send one dollar only one
