really have been preceded by thousands of
others, long before Greeks, Romans, Baby
lonlans, Assyrians or Egyptians were known.
1t is probable that the jumping shrew our
grandfather dates back only about 2,63O,OOO
years-that is quite respectable family tree.
In one of the geological periods known as
the Eocene, or possibly the earlier cretaceous
IN which new forms appeared, this Shrew was in
existence, hopping about on the surface of a
planet very different from that we now inhabit
You might read with interest many volumes
If they were properly and plainly written
concerning the marvellous transformations
through which life on this planet and the planet
itself, have passed.
You would learn that this little mouse be-
longing to the family of moles and hedgehogs,
was the ancestor of man destined to rule the
planet, BECAUSE HE HAD THE MOST
BRAIN IN PROPORTION TO HIS BODY
AND LITTLE MOUSE AS HE WAS HE De
PENDED UPON HIS BRAIN FOR SUCCESS
RATHER THAN UPON SAVAGERY OR
WEAPONS
Already, in this first old mouse ancestor of
ours, we md that thought and brain power are
the real forces that lead to the highest places.
While that tiny mouse hoped about cau-
tiously among the roots and the thick pollen of
the great fern trees, he was using his brain and
developing it constantly
Near him were gigantic animals crocodiles
with tremendous teeth, huge tortoises, some of
the birds and monsters that might have swal-
lowed thousand of the shrew mice at mouth
full
The tortoises had their shells to protect
then-so they did not think
The crocodile had his thick scales, his sharp

teeth. He relied upon them, and he did not
think
The birds, wonderful creatures, with warm
blood, powerful hearts, eyesight far above our
own, had WINGS-they relied upon them and
did not think
Gigantic monsters that are only memories
to-day reproduced in our museums had their
vast bodies, their huge crushing bones. They
relied upon them, and did not think.
The little mouse, weak defenceless, HAD
TO THINK.
And because he HAD to think and DID
think, that humble animal gave to this great and
beautiful world the thinking men destined to
rule it, regulate it, drain it's swamps, cultivate
its deserts, and bring it into harmony with the
rest of the universe.
In thousands of ways your humble little
hopping ancestor Of two and one-half million
years ago was superior to his competitors. He
could Jump. That helped him to get out of the
way of big feet and away from sharp teeth.
AND HE COULD THINK
Those were his only virtues. But because
he had those two fine qualities, that humble lit
tie citizen of the Eocene age, has among his de-
scendants Beethoven, Archimedes, Jane Addams
and Paderewsk
All of those mentioned and everv other
well individual, simply represent one
kind OF THOUGHT and thought was the only
wealth, the only inheritance that the little
mouse OF ages gone by had to leave to his de-
;cendants.
The theories of science the discussion of mans
1escent the analysis of by the thinking men of
the scientific word-a of these recent speculations
backed up by proof-are intensely interesting

control of the world because they did not have to waste
time adapting themselves to their environment" That
neans that they did not have to energy changing the
forms of their bodies developing weapons slowly al
ering skeletons, etc. Instead of getting weapons
teeth, claws, etc. they used the BRAIN. They kept max
ing that brain bigger and bigger inventing tools and
weapons and the brain conquered the tigers teeth, the
elephants trunk the birds WINGS and all the other sub
stitutes for thought
It is interesting to know that power is developed in
proportion to the ability of the animal and later OF the
man. to live and develop independently of conditions sur
rounding them
We find to-day that the most successful races of
those that have changed the least that say those
that retain the animal characteristics
The Aryan race, called originating probably in the
northwestern OF Europe compelled to develop fam
lily ties by the cold of Winter that has kept the family
around the fire. to the animal than other races

The ruling race of this planet is carnivorous race

hairy individual with beard all over his face He is
lighting, aggressive individual He close to the AMI
NAL yet hairy and meateating fighter chat he he rules
with great ease three hundred millions of smooth-faced
peaceful vegetarans, Asiatics in single locality
If our little grandfather the jumping shrew, had not
started to solve all his problems with thought he had
put his energy into growing muscle teeth or adapt
ing himself to his environment he wouldn't have the
fine race of sons and daughters that he hasname
the human race.
Men and women remember that what applies to
the jumping shrew alleged to be your ancestor applies
also to you The you make yourself independent OF
your surroundings the ably you cope with cond,
tons as you find them, the greater and rapid Will
be your success.
If you use your hours days and months of youth IN
Wasteu attempts to develop muscle you will take just
much away from your brainand be just much less Of
a human being.
Those that dislike the idea of monkey ancestors may
find comfort in this theory about the jumping shrW

Other, wiser, descendants of the little shrew wasted
no time trying to be like the gorilla like Jack johnson
Jeffres.
They put all their energy and vitality into the deve

During centuries of feeble thought these

The pooIIttle Grade Crossing.

The hearing upon the question Of
abolshing the Doolttle grade crossing
was held at the selectmen's rooms in the
town hall Friday afternoon before the
state public service commission. which
was represented by John Il. Benton of
Keene and Mr.. Niles of Concord. The
state highway department was repre-
scented by State Highway Engineer s.
Percy Hooker of Concord and Division
Engineer G. M. Brooks of Keene. AS
sistant Engineer c.. ]. Griffin attended
in the interest of the Boston &c Maine
railroad and Attorney Alexander in the
interest of the town.
The need of adjustment was readily
recognized, but the best way of doing
so was a problem upon which there were
many opinions. The idea expressed by
many that a railroad bridge over the
highway at the location of the present
crossing was the best solution, is con-
considered by engineers altogether too
expensive. A plan was presented by the
railroad to make a change in the high
way there by leaving the present high
way at a point north of the Doolittle
place and following a ravine up the
| hill eastward to the land Of Albert
| Smith, thence southwark, joining the
| present highway at the point Of its in
| tersection with the Barber road. There
would be two sharp curves on this
| route, but on neither would the view
be INSTRUCTED. The cost of carrying out
this plan is estimated at $20,000 and SIS
| per cent of this would be borne by the
railroad and the remainder be divided
| between the state and town. 1t had
| formerly been understood that the state
would pay rs per cent and the town
| 10 per cent but this is now thought
| to be erroneous. A hearing was an
nounced for Tuesday in Concord to de-
eide upon that point.
