him on waking. Now he sat up un.
til worn out with work and loss of
sleep. And II then sleep would not
come. he counted sheep jumping over
n wall. watched water falling from q
high precipice down down-or
reached out his hand for the opiate
that stood always at hand. Anything
was better than the hopelessness OF
memory.
Perhaps the hardest part was the
utter loneliness OF It all. He had
turned to Helen with every pleasure
or sorrow. Now he was called upon
to face the greatest sorrow Of his life
alone-absolutely alone. He seemed
to have lost the sense Of human kin
ship.
Sometimes a sudden sight would
touch his heart-two lovers walking
together. He would follow them as
long as he dared. noting every glance
and gesture between them. 1t com.
forted him to feel that love was still
in the world-althouSh 1t had gone
from his own life.
Except for this slight link he was
cut on from his ellow-beings-adrift
on q shoreless sea. He did not feel
that others suffered as he was suffer.
ing. that many a gallant ship that
passed with colors flying was freight
ed with burden as heEvy as his own.
He clung with pathetic eagerness to a
belief that others weru happy and
found life worth living. For. as time
went on, he found the question of the
worth OF life forcing itself upon him
with cruel insistence-rot as q specu-
lation, but out Of the bitterness of
life. 1t met him at every turn. 1t
stood waiting at his bedside to greet
him when he woke and 1t followed
close at his side through the day.
Why should he take up the burden of
another day? No one depended on
him-would mourn for him. His
mother?-She was now independent
OF his help. She did not need him
No one needed him. One plunge and
he would know whether death ends
all. or whether in a new life one may
meet or make new happiness.

Proper Way to Drive Nail

Another thing" continued the old
carpenter. 'the beginner generally
tries to drive his nails as perpendicu-
larly as possible. This is another
error. for nail driven little diagon-
ally holds the parts together much
more firmly than one driven perpen-
dicularly. And in driving a nail
diagonally 1t is even more necessary
to proceed with gentle taps. for hard
blows inevitably displace the surfaces
that are to be held together"

GREAT OPPORTUNITY
 FOR PICTURE MOULDING
One of the Many Victims of the Sac
 rifice at BaIke's Big curio Store.

The cut prices at the clearing out filling the place with customers. giving it the appearance of the holiday trad ing season The cut prices apply to everything in the store that is for sale at all. It has been mentioned that some of the curios, such as old arms are not for sale at any time or at any price But everything else goes at figures in the making up of which the original cost was not considered. The proprietor has only one thing in mind: that is. to get rid of the goods so that he will have room for the large new stock with which he will begin the next season.
 A special bargain is offered in pie ture frame moulding. There is in stock about 1000 different styles of moulding. Of many of these styles. there are remnants of from eight to ten feet. These remnants are being almost giv en away: at any rate they are sold much below the original cost They are being closed out, for the saNe styles will never be kept again. It has been the policy of the Big Curio store in its picture framing department never to duplicate a style of moulding.
 There are many other things being closed out at the Big Curio store as regardless of cost as these remnants of moulding There is not room here for their enumeration.

SALE Of VALUABLE ;.
 INSIDE PROPERTY Half Block on East Washington Be- tween Third and Fourth Streets
 Bought by Syndicate.


Another important transaction in realty was practically consummated yesterday when a syndicate of proper ty owners interested in the upbuilding of the eastern part of the business dis trict of the city. bought the half block on the north side of Washington street, between Third and Fourth streets. The papers have not passed yet. but will just as soon as they can be drawn. and it was established last night that it is a bOnafide transaction, one that means much to the east end of town It was currently reported that the considera- tion was S35.000 and though it was learned that that was not the exact figure it was doubtless very close to that price. The property Is consid- cred good buy at that price in any event. and if it passed for any less the new owners are the gathers.
 The property consists of seven lots. six of which were owned by the Phoe- nix National bank and one by a non- resident. There is now on the prop erty the residence and office of Dr. R. F.. Lightburne, historic old adobe building now utilized as Chinese laundry, lunch stand and a couple of bill boards. None of the present inn provements can be regarded as perma- nent in respect to any building opera tions that may be later undertaken.
 The purchasers of the property are represented by Joseph Thalheimer and Louis Killeen. who have engineered the deal. It is reported that among their associates are NJ. J. Pettid of the Home bakery: Mrs. Frank Baxter. and pre- sumably some other east end property owners. No one could be found last evening who was willing to discuss the plans of the new owners, but their very reticence indicated that they had plans of considerable importance. Whether they contemplate the early erection of fine business block or have merely bought the property for investment could not be learned. But judging by the personnel of the new owners, their business interests, etc. it is inferred that some kind of a building project is in the air and naturally it will be q creditdble one, for no one would think of constructing shacks on that proper ty at this stage of the city's growth.

CORN
Show To Be Held In City OF
\ Columbus

Already the plans for the fourth an
nual corn show which opens in Co.
lumbus, Ohio, January 30, to continue
through February IL, have reached
such proportions as to insure the great
est, by far, of any National Agricuitur-
al exposition that has ever been held,
and the present indications are that
all exhibitors now clamoring for
space cannot be Accommodated.
Regardless of the fact that already
more than 80 states have arranged for
exhibits from their respective agri.
cultural colleges and experiment sta.
tons with the best of their products
representing each state, there will be
at least several more states to enter,
correspondence from the additional
states being OF the most favorable
tone, and each state college express
ing the deepest interest.
The fact that there will be so many
national and state meetings of the
greatest possible importance to the
agriculturist, to be held at the same
| time and place as the National Corn
| Exposition, has caused some of the
leading men of the country to suggest
Madison Square Garden for the next
show, and it is more than likely that
such pressure will be brought to bear
upon the officials of the National Corn
association that the proposition will
receive most careful consideration.
Agriculturists over the country, be.
sides government officials and agricul-
tural college and experiment station
people have been watching with an
eagle eye the progress that has been
made for the coming exposition and
interest is now at the very nlgaest
| tension,
Farm publications throughout the
world are devoting much space to the
enterprise, which has for it's motto;
"Betterment of Agriculture" and with
most excellent and unlimited pub
licty it is bringing enthusiastic in
quiries with each mail, seeking infor-
nation.
AS only educational features are
considered, the big National show will
be the greatest possible advantage to
the farmers and they highly appreci-
ate, the fact that it is to be kept free
from any alliances which would be in.
terested for profit alone.

GARNER'S EXPERIMENTS

Professor Richard l.. Garner is back
from Africa after long trip, and
ready to summarize the results of his
six years study of the anthropoid
apes, a study apparently scientific
and sincere. He does not claim to
have found the Missing Link" But
he has identified, he thinks, eleven
words of the monkey language, and
has learned the meaning of nine of
those words.
The only absolute difference be-
tween the anthropoid apes and man
is in the organs of speech. The rela-
tive differences of degrees, are many,
chiefly in the skull capacity, the size,
number and complexity of brain con-
volutions, and the development of the
forearm that obeys the brain in do
ing things. Since the study of Pro-
fessor Garner thus affects the only abb
solute difference, 1t must have a large
bearing on the mooted question of the
ape-origin of man.
The nearest thing to the Missing
Link" yet discovered is the Pithecan-
thropus Erectus, probably extinct, a
few bones of which were found by
Eugene Dubois, in pliocene deposits
near Trinil, Java, about sixteen years
ago. Scientists divided on the ques-
ton whether these had belonged to
monkey, man or an intermediate
type. A plurality of the scientists
held to the latter theory. The skull
development of this missing link was
about 1000 cubic centimeters, whereas
that of certain low types of man is
$50, that of the anthropoid apes is
from 500 to 600, and that of civilized
man ranges from HOO to 2200 cubic
centimeters.
The chimpanzee brought back with
him by Professor Garner distinguish
es colors, exhibits affections, and has
laugh like child's The professor
says he knew one chimpanZee that
could understand and speak the
French ."feu," for fire. Students will
await with interest the scientists
own synopsis of what he has discov-
cred. 1t would be essentially unfair
to judge the range of his work from
necessarily imperfect newspaper in
