OUR NATURAL SAVAGERY.
# Will at Times Break Through the
 Veneer of Civilization.

It's a mighty short step from modern civilization to the natural impulses of ancient savagery. If you don't believe It just watch some time, and you'll see q small boy-or grown man-dis over a rabbit.
 The first thought that comes into his mind is to kill the rabbit. Quickly ha scare hes his mind to see wLere a weapon eau be found.
 The second thought is to secure a rock to throw at it. just as some cave man r9'vht.
 \ t,..t finds snake coiled in the roac ! may be harmless snake. ybut its snake, and therefore his pr.n it1e instinct calls upon him to kill II.
 A weapon. He seeks about for clui, iNst as his ancient, skin clothed an~eStors would have done. and. hay ing secured he club. he dispatches tue snake, b., soul singing with trf urnnh
 Modern civ, ;zadon probably would have urged t'r man to cut forked stick and cate, the snake by the neck with 1t. then t' secure 10 cents worth os chlorofolai and kill it swiftly and patulessly B'c he goes after the club Just as natur ly as if he had never seen steam 'leated fiat or ridden on trolley car seen an automobile.
 Children roam in the woods and eat every variety of berry they can find. It 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- sarding 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 primi. tive as the most primitive of our an ceStors. Galveston News.

PROSPERITY.

The Graphic as newspaper is known throughout southeast Arkan- sas as one of the best papers in tae state. To. advertisers of the same section it is equally as well known as a most efficient medium for reaching the people. When the Gra- phic is so we'll and popularly known in the daily journalistic field of the entire state and especially the south east, it will be interesting to the readers and admirers to know that the Graphic is one of the most prosperous and progressive papers of the state and is still forging ahead enjoying the wave of prosper ity.
 The circulation of this paper is really remarkable in its growth and figures show that in recent months the Grahic has set new pace ill adding to its hundreds of readers The rapid climb in the circulation of the Graphic has .fSt a precedent in modern newsps 1T circles. With a present dailMissrculation of some- thing over thsee thousand five hum dred, which covers the local field to pArscti6n and reaches the gen. e1hl reading public of this section before breakfast in many cases, the Graphic is each day sending out papers to new subscribers.
 Readers will remember the suc- cess of the popular contest which the Graphic conducted few months ago. As was stated at the close of the contest the circulation was in- creased by over thousand new sub scribers, and the general average of these new subscribers was for three months. By this calculation the contest subscriptions would have run out the first of March. In view of this fact the circulation de- partment's report for March shows that the total stops for March were 73 in the city and g through the nail On the other hand the re- ,rt shows xtarts' in the city for,

 wi)it now show a great per cent of .sSin in face of the theory that sub- RcriberS gained hy contests will mt stick to paper. It is more re- Nmarkable when it is fact that ten of the 'stops during March were for non-payment of subscriptions.
