The Early Stages Of Human Developm mt

The Early Stages Of Human Development,
M. de Mortillet has occupied himself
with this progress. and, persuaded ina,
existing mankind is only resultant,
and the last term of series of success
sive transformations, distinguishes be-
tween several men, as tertiary nan,
quaternary man, existing man. The
man of the ancient quaternary, the
Neanderthal. the Denise, and the Can
stadt man, appear to him 50 d.tferen;
from the historical type. that not only
does he separate them from it. but he
creates for the time anterior to the
quaternary human or p>eudo-human
category OF particular order There
were in this view, precursors OF man,
TO which he applies the significant
name Of aH,IropopI,hscuS, or man
monkey, because he believes they pre-
coded man in the scale Of beings, and
constituted an intermediate type be-
tween the living anlhropomorphic apes
ana man. We should then have 10 deal
with creature high enough above the
gorilla and the cnimpanzee 10 know
now 10 cut h.nts and use fire, low
enough not 10 he able 10 rise above that
industrial grade and become a real man:
or with race standing 10 the Bush
man and Tasmanian as they seem 10
stand to u. Theology does not absO-
.utely repel this view, for it discusses
the possible existence Of pre-adamites.
Religion even seems disinterested in
the question. for the Able Bourgeois,
whose discoveries have given rise to NJ
de Mortillet's anthropopithecuses, AMI
who has not rejected the theory, has
always passed for a soundly orthodox
priest, while he is known to be a keen
observer Nothing is against an i'm
partial examination of the question
Only the objection may be offered to
his views that no one mas ever seen an
anthropopithccus, the structure and
characteristics OF which have been
worked out by pure reasoning alone,
and that the distance that must have
separated the precursor Of man from
man himself is calculated upon the ex-
trcmcly uncertain basis Of the distance
between quatcrnary and existing man.

Officer Button, at tho Union dennL
picked up the other day momoran-
dunn book evidently lost by some one
attending the state fair All the entries
arc made in businoss-liko manner
and some OF them are readable. The
first entry is:
Small take SIG with me TO the state
fair. Second-cass hotel good enough
for me. Beware of pickpockets. Keep
your eyes open for good-looking
widow View the animals, and don't
forget to take two clean handkerchiefs
along
The second entry reads:
Fair up to the average. Saw
widow in the car going up. Didn't
seem to like my style. Somebody has
stuck me with bogus half dollar. Saw
another widow on the grounds. Rather
too stout. Viewed the animals and was
kicked by steer.
Third entry-"Good attendance. Slept
on the floor. Jam on the street cars.
Passed the bogus money off on boot
black. Saw widow at the hotel. Most
too lean. Went to the theatre last night
Saw several widows, but no chance to
make an impression"
Fourth entry-"Big crowd on the
grounds. Beat my way in. Saw a
widow on the fence. Most too bolster
Gus for my locality. Saw horse race.
One horse beat all the others. Viewed
the machinery and was hit on the ear
by loafer. Saw widow viewing the
headless rooster Mouth most too
largo for my part of the state. Slept in
a barn for nothing"
Fifth entry-"Saw widow in the
post Office. Blind in one eye. No good
Big jam, Tried to beat my way in, but
couldn't. Saw a horse-race. Saw
widow on the grand stand. Bowed to
her. Cold cut. Viewed the big OK.
Saw widow in Honey hall, Raised

ARE THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY
DRAWINGS FAIR?

The two commissioners who superin-
tend their single-number drawings, when
interviewed on the subject reluctantly adj
mitted that the numbers which were
placed in the tubes and put in the wheel
were only counted TWICE A YEAR. They
draw the lottery every month. Is not this
a bare-faced fraud? Their excuse is that
it would take ten days labor, with four
assistants. How, then, can any ticket
buyer in this lottery know that the num-
Der on his ticket has corresponding num-
Der in the wheel? If they desire AN honest
drawing, why do they not, on the day of
and just before their drawing, allow the
ticket holder the privilege of calling out
his number and see that it is placed in the
wheel so he then can have some chance of
its being drawn out with prize from the
other wheel? Other lotteries have done
so. Under their system, why don't they
make their capital s1,000,000? They
might as well. Is not the published list of
winners in their lottery also fraud? 1t
is very easy for few dollars to get per.
sons who are willing to let them use their
names as the holders of big prize. Is it
any longer q wonder how they controlled
the Louisiana Constitutional Convention,
courts and legislatures and former post
Office administration. Under this system
of drawings, it will be no trouble To make
money enough to control and run our very
government. From the Chicago Inter

window-tray, just rs it had fallen from
the case when some hasty hand had
moved it, and the man standing outside
knew that he could slip in and snatch it,
unnoticed, at almost any moment when
the door opened and what beautiful
thing it would be for his Janey to wear
on her dainty white neck.
His Janey! The Jewels in their vel
vet cases faded out of sight, the gold
neck-chain with its engraved heart
shaped locket, vanished, and there stood
before him little slender child, with
the light of Heaven in her eyes, with
soft, falling locks of bright hair, with
pale lips, and the weary, wasted look
which suffering brings overshadowin9
her like the clouding OF IN angels wings.
All! an angel! And he wanted the gold.
en-, glittering bauble for her-he would
sell his soul that his child might have
the paltry, perishable thing!
He went on his way then, grimy, I'M
work to do--nothing to live on but
promises and the little his good wife
could earn by days labor when she
could leave Janey, the sick child. He
went home to the one poor room they
occupied, and was cautioned not to wake
the little one. She was very sick-the
doctor had been there, and said 1t was a
crisis; she must be kept very quiet. The
man strobe to the bed and looked at her,
his one wee lamb. There she lay, sunk
deep in the poor pillow scarcely alive,
scarcely breathing, her cheeks pale and
sunken, her small hands crossed on her
bosom. Should she wake she would
ask with the pretty caprice of baby
what "pappie" had brought her. and
he had not earned a penny that whole
week.
When the supper of bread and tea
was eaten he said he would 60 out and
take stroll while his wife cleared up
the dishes, and he took his hat and
walked down the street in the direction
of the jewelers. store. He half hoped
that it would be closed, but it was not.
He looked in the window; the gold
chain lay there yet. Some purchaser
hurried in. leaving the door open. He
did not think of Janey; he did not think
at all. The only thing he knew was
that he was walking away, and clasped
in the palm of his grimy, closed hand
was the bauble he had coveted. 1t was
the first fruits of dishonor that hand had
ever clasped.
"Stop thief! Stop thief!' He ran
when he heard that cry, not in the di-
rection of home, but towards the river;
he sped on with the words ringing a
knell in his ears. Then he found that
he was not followed; they must have
lost track of him, or-it couldn't be that
they meant him; his sin had not surely
found him out so soon. He turned and
went home.
