The Young-Adapts theatrical com pany were seen again to advantage‘ at the Prince Edward Theatre inst evening when they presented be - fore a most appreciative altdlerrcc, McKie Rankine splendid four rrct- melodramatlc success, "The Love Divine." This is a play depicting life in Idaho, the characters being made up largely oi miners. It con- tres around the home of one Alex Fairfax played by Mr. Perry "Norman who is a whole-hearted miner, and his sister, Bess, which part. was taken by Miss Margie Adams in her usual pleasing and very capable manner.

As Jack Mason, a gambler, Mr. H. Wilmot Young played a strong part and played it. well.

The usual love intrigue of plays of this kind is a predominating fea- ture, and the parting scene in the second act is one of the strongest dramatic situations seen in a play

torical times we pass from gods and patriarchs to men living the common term of life.

Up till about seventy years ago we had no historical records. though we knew when we looked on the pyramids and ruins of pal- aces that great civiliaations exist- ed n remote times. Priceless Egy- ptian an tlBnbylonic records we know to have perished in the flames which consumed the old library in Alexandria. lt has been by groping amid ruins and decip- hering the still legible inscriptions upon them that knowledge has came oi Babylonian and Egyptian history drrting for beyond the dnys of Abraham. We find ourselves car- ried nine or ten thousand years back.—nut. to beginnings of nation- hood, but to civilizations far ad - vunced in agriculture. industry and art, with religious and philosop - hicai ideas highly developed. And during the whole of this period of nine or ten thousand years we find no change in the order of nature nor any alteration in the lives of the different. races of men.
