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

V0uS0l VI StNuIZaSlOus
 It's mighty short step from modern civilization to the natural impulses of ancient sayagery. If you don't believe 1t just watch some time, and you'll see a small boy-or a grown man-dis. cover a rabbit
 The first thought that comes into his mind Is to kill the rabbit. Quickly he searches his mind to see wLere "a 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 snake coiled in the road. It may be d harmless snake, but it's snake, and therefore his primitive instinct calls upon him to kill 1t.
 A weapon! He seeks about for a club. just as his ancient, skin clothed ancestors would have done, and, hay ing secured the club, he dispatches the snake, bis soul singing with tri umph.
 Modern civilization probably would have urged the man to cut 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 flat or ridden on trolley car or 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. garding what they put in their mouths.
 It's that way all through. We may have acquired 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.
