BURN NEGRO
AT THE STAKE
lContinued from FIRST Paee.j

cries had ceased and the crowd stood
silent The first burning I'm the state
In the history of a generation had
been accomplished.
Not a man of the immense mob
moved a MUSCLE or raised a hand IN
protest against the negro's fate. and
for a half hour they stood almost
motionless watching, watching and
waiting as the flames hickered lower
and lower and then lower until the
pile was but a mass of glowing Goals.
The negro's body was entirely con-
sumed and not a vestige of his cot
or anything that may have served to
prove that the body of a man had
been prey TO the flames remained.
with the exception OF the chains
which had bound him to his bed and
which lay glowing redhot I'm the cen
tre of the embers.
The chains We're quickly snatched
from the Goals and dipped into water
and then broken up as souvenirs.

Huntsinger's hires nine of the very best teachers, pays the largest salaries, get the best results, hence the gradu- ate does the best work in the business office.
 Huntsinger's remains permanently interested in its graduates.' There are always plenty of positions for Hunt singer graduates During the twelve months ending June 30. 1911, no less than 466 business men called upon Huntsinger's for stenogr aphers. book keepers, typewriter operators, bill clerks, etc. During this time there were only prepared students enough ready at the time of the calls to fill 211 positions. Hence there were 255 openings that could not be filled by this school when the calls came in. This indicates clearly the popularity of its graduates, ,which in turn means the thoroughness of the work done by Huntsinger's.
 Huntsinger's helps graduates to get start in business-a tremenduos ad. vantage to young people who have no influential friends in business.
 MT. Huntsinger lays special em- phaaia upon up-to date work. Not -ealy does he KNOW what should be done, but he helps his teachers to DO it.
 Read the Huntsinger advertisement and see what this school has dbne during the twelve months referfed' to. It is the strongest argument why a young person should attend 4Huntsing- CTS. The mere fact that 1t has more than twice as many calls for office help than it can supply shows the thoroughness of the work this school does.
 Huntsinger's is built upon prin- ciples of thoroughness. It is steadily gaining in power and influence. It offers advantages never before offered.
 The entire building has been re-kal- somined and re-painted and the school rooms are the lightest in the oity of Hartford. .......-.. ....... :. -....
 It costs no more to get first-class training at Huntsinger's than to get fair training elsewhere, and for that reason two-thirds of the young people who go to business schools iD Hartford attend Huntsiuger's. ..~.. .....,

rha AntinuItx of Man.

It has been known during long time that in western Europe man ex- isted during the glacial epoch. We now know that the great ice age con- sisted of different glacial times sepa- rated by 1nterglacial times. In glacial times the snow line dropped 5000 or 4,OOO feet below it's present level in the Alps, whereas in interglacial times 1t lay about 1000 feet higher than at present Thus the temperature seems to have been higher in the interglacial periods than it is now. There is abun- dant evidence, in the opinion of Penck that man existed during the beginning of the last glacial epoch. There is some reason for thinking that at least 10000 years have elapsed since the last glaciation and that the man whose 1awbone was found in 1909 near Hei delberg lived 100000 years ago-Scien kiflc American.
