grimly by his side like a gendarme on

At length we reached the pension.
We said good night, and l. standing,
watched them away, the tall boy
looming protectingly above the shorter
and stouter man, both moonlit, with a
touch of uncomfortable sadness,
heartache impossible to soothe crush
ing with difficulty the impulse to run
after him and cry:
Come back and tell me goodby

you. l know l shall never meet you

so convulsively that the sleepy porter
who sat, as usual, at the door to the

first step and looked up at me, inquir-

The situation had at last dawned
upon me.
The tall boy was the Elderly Lady's
son.
Well, | knew that. l had known it

But the Laird, my bonny Laird, who,
having outlived the age of self con-
seriousness, had grown to be so lovable

whom she was out on her wedding
tour.
And that was why the tall boy had

a Weak
Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.

A GOOD BARGAIN.

The Board Of Education has secured
the old University buildings and
grounds for High School purposes. The
price is 100000, but the sum OF Sl2,bOO
having been expended on the property
by the board, the actual cost at present
Ia $s7,bOO Mr., Joseph Geoghegan, rep
rcsentIng the board. made strong
plea with Governor Wells and secre-
tary Byron Clroo representing the state
land board, TO obtain a reduction In the
purchase price. He was not successful,
Tor the statementf'an and arguments ad-
duced by the Governor were too con-
elusive and convincing to admit OF any
change. The arrangement entered in.
10 requires the cash payment Of $4,000
and the balance Of $4,000 is to be paid
by July /, 1904 and the debt carries
no interest
We think the Board OF Education has
made an excellent bargain, For II has
acquired title to the property on First
North street that was formerly held
by the Latter-day Saints College
which was transferred to the Unyer'
hity, In addition TO the square occupied
by the University buildings These
form very valuable acquisition, and
the board is to be congratulated ON Sc
curing those very suitable grounds and
premises.

ORIGIN OF MAN.

A somewhat novel theory Of the orig
In OF man is set forth by Prof. MCGEE,
the vice president Of the American as
ISOLATION. According TO him, there Is
not single fact in support Of the the
DRY OF common origin; on the con-
trary, as far rs observations 80, they
point in an opposite direction
In proof OF this assertion, the profess
sor argues that mankind is not differ
entiating In either physical or psyohl-
cal aspect, but converglng, migrating,
blending, unifylng, both as organlsms
and superorganlc groups. The popu-
latlon is Increasing, but the races are
not, On the contrary, the number OF
distinct people is decreasing, and racial
boundaries are slowly but surely melt
ing away. Races have not come up
tribes have not multiplied, but distinct
peoples have ooalesced, dialects and
languages have blent into common
tongues Peoples are pre-eminent In
proportion to the completely Of their
blood and culture And the conclusion
drawn from these facts is, according to
Professor Niece, that the development
is convergent instead Of divergent and
the theory Of polygenesis Is better sup
ported than that OF mopogsnesis IN
other words, we are asked to suppose
that man first made hi5 appearance on
earth IN numerous places, each ances-
tor having no relationship to the other.
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-01-15

and that from this multitude u origins
relationship has been created by bHne'
ing and mixing Of blood-a procesn that
win continue until the unity OF the hu-
man family shall have been completed.
This attempt to account for the ofiRln
OF mankind fails 10 take any notice
whatever Of the evidence furnished by
human traditions and languages, which
IL supposed to furnish very strong
ground Tor the doctrine Of q common
origin. But this cannot be Ignored IN
an investigation OF this important sub
jeot, II It is true, Tor Instance mat
traces OF the language, culture ana NJ
trature Of the ancient inhabitants
OF the Americas, are atill found
In the civilizations Of Africa, Asia and
Europe the presumption Is In favor Of
common source OF all these clvilzo-
tons, and the nations that have sprung
up under their influence, That mankind
was made OF one blood IL a PROPOSE
ton better substantiatcd than the op-
posite. The very fact that blending
ana unihcation now unquestionably are
going on, should b. proof Of original
unity, for how can elements mix blond
and become one, II there Ia no affinity
whatever between them2
The testimony Of history ~ that the
earth was peopIed from common ances-
tors, ana that their descendants De-
parted in different directions, Gradu-
ally tribal, national and racial differ
onces appeared. But It was not the
purpose OF the Father TO permit This
dlsintegraton TO continue forever on
the contrary His plan was 10 bring to
unity ond harmony an things both In
heaven and earth. IN the fulness of
time provision was made for the gath
erlng again OF that which had become
separated, for the destruction OF the
separating walls OF caste, nationality,
distance and 80 on, Il Is this gathering
work that Prof MeGee has observed
It is q special feature Of our own age
But TO conclude that II has always been
going on, Is not sound reasoning IT
does not necessarily follow, Scientists
would do well to consult, on all such
questions, that which has been revealed
to man from o divine source, For as
far or that Ia given for guidance ana
information. Il IA perfectly safe, II does
not conflict with any known fact or
demonstrated truth,

by WAY OF EXPLANATION.

We have received letter from a
well informed friend dated January
~. 1902, complaining of incorrect in
formation given through morning
contemporary. and desiring us TO make
some explanation for the benefit Of
people who may have been misled on
the subjects spoken OF. He says
"The following appears In the Cues
tlons and Answers column OF todays

ton, the answer undoubtedly refers TO

leased from the penitentlary, where

the part of the Tribune to misrepre-
sent. or to state anything but what
