OUR NATURAL sAvAGERY.
It Will at Times Break Through tn,
Veneer Of Civilization,

It Will at Times Break Through the
Veneer Of Civilization.
It's n mighty short step from modern
civilization to the natural impulses of
ancient savasery. If you don't believe
it just watch some time, and you'll
see small boy-or a grown man-dis-
cover rabbit.
The first thought that comes into his
mind is to kill the rabbit. Quickly he
searches his mind to see where q
weapon can be found.
The second thought is to secure a
rock to throw at it, Just as some cave
man might.
A man finds a snake coiled in the
road. 1t may be a harmless snake,
but it's snake, and therefore his
primitive instinct calls upon him to
kill it.
A weapon! He seeks about for a
club, just as his ancient, skin clothed
ancestors would have done, and, hav.
ing secured the club, he dispatches
the snake, his soul singing with tri.
umph.
Modern civilization probably would
have urged the man to cut q forked
stick and catch the snake by the neck
with it, then to secure 10 cents worth
Of chloroform and kill It swiftly and
painlessly. But he goes after the club
just as naturally as If he had never
seen steam heated fat or ridden on
trolley car or seen an automobile.
Children roam in the woods and eat
every variety Of berry they can find.
1t matters not If they be poisonous.
They taste them all from the looks,
and the amount eaten depends on the
taste. This is probably what the cave
children did. and the modern infants
show the same intelligent caution re,
garding what they put in their mouths
It's that way all through. We may
have acquired a more or less thick
veneer Of modern civilization. but let
EMERGENCIES arise and we're as print
tive as the most primitive Of our an
cestors.-Galveston News.
