What young man of our race would not gladly give a year of his life to roll backward the scroll of time for five decades and live that year in the romantic by-gone days of the Wild West; to see the great Missouri while the Buffalo pastured on its banks, while big game teemed in sight and the red man roamed and hunted, unchecked by fence or hint of white man's rule; or, when that rule was represented only by scattered trading-posts, hundreds of miles apart, and at best the traders could exchange the news by horse or canoe and months of lonely travel?
I, for one, would have rejoiced in tenfold payment for the privilege of this backward look in our age, and had reached middle life before I realised that, at a much less heavy cost, the miracle was possible to-day.
