A PREHISTORIC MAN
A Gentleman Darwin Would Have
Liked to Have Met

Two priests OF ChappeIe aux Saints.
in Southwest France. week or so
ago discovered the skull and other
bones of a man who is believed to
have belonged 10 a race that existed
not less than 10000 years ago. The
formation of the skull, the jawbones,
the arms and the legs was such as TO
make sure in the minds of the scien-
lists that the remains were not of
simian origin. though there were Ger
tain resemblances to the bones of
apes In fact, the most ancient au-
thenticated ape bones showed rather a
higher state of development than those
of this prehistoric man, who lived in
the glacial period and doubtless slew
his food with his hands or with sticks
and stones He was contemporary
with the mammoth and other ex-
tinct species Of animal life whose re
mains have been found in fossiliZed
form in various parts of the world.
including the phosphate fields of South
Carolina. France and Belgium.
According TO the scientists, this
earliest man" did not walk in a Who'll
Iy erect position. but stopped. This is
shown by the bent knees. He was of
great physical strength, which is indi-
Gated by the broad shoulders and big
bones. He was a very serious person
and was without the power to laugh.
according to the story told by the con-
formation of the jaw. Life was no
joke to him. 1t consisted in killing
for food and in escaping the fate OF
being killed for food
This discovery is regarded as being
of high value in that it tends to
strengthen the now current scientific
theory that the missing link which
Darwin and others sought is faIlacy;
that there is no missing link" be-
tween apes and men. The earliest ape
known TO science, il seems. showed a
higher development than this earliest
known man. In short. the ape was In
advance of the men. There were diff
ferences in their types which have
been followed. apparently TO the pres
emit The evolutionary ancestors of
monkeys and men Were distinct. as
their progeny are now distinct from
each other There has been discov-
cred no period OF divergence in types.
There may have been such divergence
of course but so far nothing has been
discovered which tends To prove il
conclusively. The supposition, there
fore, is that evolution has been merely
along the development of each type
without radical change in the type
! itself-Savannah News.

Dr. Fletchers subject was Love.

bashful SWANS and despairing lassies

wives and husbands. He included in
his talk a few sidelights on the use
Of broomsticks by one of those to the
contract.
ITS this way" says Or. Fletcher
"As long as courtship is made com

often young persons get married take
a honeymoon trip and come back and
use the broOmstiek on each other.
When woman gets &c talking
about platOnic love you nay be sure

MURDERER
BAPTIZED
FRANK JOHNSON SAYS GOD HAS.
FORGIVEN HIM AND HE'S
READY TO DIE.

CLARKSBURG. May 2s.-Another
chapter was written In Harrison coun.
ty's history Wednesday when Frank
johnson. colored. condemned murder.
er, was baptized in the county Jail.
Such an event was never before
known In the county and perhaps may
never occur again. y y; ~
1t will be remembered that John.
son was recently convicted of the
murder OF Mrs. Beulah Martin, color
ed, at. Gypsy. The jury returned q
verdict OF first degree murder. with
out recommendation, which means
that. unless a new trial is granted or
the sentence is committed by the
governor. the prisoner will be execut-
ed at the State penitent!ary on data
yet to be fixed.
Since the verdict was rendered
johnson has thought seriously of his
condition. He realizes that his lease
of life Is not secure and he claims
he has made peace with his God anil
cen walk upon the scaTold, believing
that when the trap is sprung and his
soul takes its flight. all will be well.
Recently he called for a bible and.
tits said, he spends long hours every
day reading. Tuesday he expressed
a desire to be baptized saying to his
friends he had been converted and he
believed It was his duty to follow his
Master in this ordinance. So 1t was
arranged and Wednesday the minister
of the colored church in the west end
responded to the call and after. pray.
ing with the prisoner performed the
ordinance in the presence Of a NUM-.
ber of prisoners.
Johnson told his spiritual adviser
that he entertained no fears for eter-
nifty as he had been forgiven. of his
sins and was ready to die. After the
ordinance OF baptism was performed

ished his Fellow prisoners to follow
his example seek the Lord while he
may be found. !, i;s1 H
