4 short story of long meanings this,
covering geological yesterdays, todays
and tomorrows, each a span of years so
multitudinous that even our most winged
gft-ima agination-fails to measure them
as completely as would everyday mere
rule of thumb.
These monstrous spaces are here filled
with the biological history of man. Il
record spread out for the one purpose
Of demonstrating that the human
through the invincible processes of evo-
luton. has acquired a straight line of
motion that will carry him ultimately
past the point where warfare is possible.
Adaptability, inheritability, the afro
phies of disuse, the deep intenSificationS

immeasucable ages carved unalterably

biological product the inevitable goal of
mans evolution is a condition of interde-
pendence, solidarity. altruism.
These big chapters, unfolding a future
peace in spite of ourselves. as il We're,
have an engaging simplicity. a richness
of illustrative and confirming detail. an
easy, approachable way with their great
learning. that give them an -absor6ng
and stimulating interest.

-HIS essay won the prize. the

in American history. That II
should do this is not at all matter OF
surprise. for the exposition is not only

vein of substantial and significant ms.
toric fact Mountains of plain hard WORK
underlie this scholarly enterprise OF
tracing the development of the Pehns!f

method of original scientihc researcl,
marks its course and another organized
body of fact added TO the common s.oe"
of knowledge stamps its consummation.
Innumerable records. hidden away IN
dust-buried and forbidding crypts. and In

the general reader as history itself by
way of this d:scrminative, compactly or
Sanized reliable presentation of the sub
iect Mr.. Turner here traces the negro
of this locality back Ia a time when the
region had not yet been organized as the
colony of Pennsylvania. From this early
starting point he follows hsm out of an
initial serv.tude into slavery. and out of
slavery into freedom, making in this pro-
gression the various aspects OF negro lie
in relation TO it's economic and social en-
vronment. In clear and complete circum-
stance. the study points the SLOW steps
10y which the black man in Pennsylvania
came ultimately into a civic and politi-
cal equality with the white man. AS the
chief agents of opportunity for the negro,
apart from his own somewhat negligible
initiative, the Friends, the abolitionists
and the anti-slavery advocates of this
commonwealth come together here in the
specific character and form of their al
truistic service. Scientific in attitude and
development. authoritative in fact, Pc
culiarly pleasing in its literary person
ality, the whole study rounds to a full
and representative unit of American
history.

THIS BLACK CAT is
A GREAT VEGETARIAN
Prefers Green Things TO Most
Meats

Atlanta, Ga, March 6.--John l..
Fields, of Ponce de Leon avenue has a
black cat that is a vegetarian. The
cat is one of a litter that were born ia
the Field backyard and none of its
brothers and sisters have ever eXhih-
tied the slightest popularity. But this
young cat, little more than kitten,
has a passionate fondness for all
kinds Of vegetables, and refuses alb
solutely to eat meat, either raw or
cooked
If piece of fresh raw fish and a
lettuce salad are placed side by side on
DISH the cat will eat the fish, if it
happens to be hungry, but it will always
eat the lettuce first. AS for beat, or
other flesh, it simply won't touch it al
all
The cats fayorite dish is beans,
when let loose in the back garden it
chews the fresh young grass, like a
COW, and occasionally pulls up the
slender onion shoots.
For several weeks after the pecul-
arity was noticed, Mr.. Field thought
the cat was suffering from some dis
ease that gave it the abnormal craving
for green diet, but the little feline Is
in perfect health, and is growing fat
1t simply likes vegetables better than
meat.

Meriven and Sydney were astounded
at the number of grown-ups present at
the circus, how really fascinating the
circus was to adults and how bewilder-

one time.

One of the causes which leads to
over-eating, especially among men and
busy people generally, is the haste
which frequently attends their meals
There is no enemy OF over-eating like
elaboration. If any of you doubt this,
just try it! Eat slowly, masticating
your food carefully, and see If you
don't satisfy your appetite with less
than you do when you gulp down each
hurried mouthful. But more time
might be given to eating than is often
granted it by busy persons. You can
not enjoy your food when you eat it
In rush, and you spoil yourself for
all future enjoyment by upsetting your
digestive apparatus When you eat
slowly you accomplish two ends, for
you eat less and have more pleasure
in the process.

ON LUCAN'S HEAD
| RESTED BLUNDER
He Ordered the 600 to Their
Doom

London, March ga statement left
by Lord Cardigan, who led the famous
charge of the Light Brigade at BaIak-
lava in the Crimean war, Oct. %. 1854,
now published for the first time,
throws the responsibility for the her
Ole blunder on Lord Lucan, who COM
manded the cavalry division.
Hitherto it has been believed that
Lucan's aide-de-camp, Capt. Nolan.
gave the erroneous order.
Cardigan describes how Lucan
ordered him to attack the Russians in
the battery" Cardigan replied:
Certainly, My Lord, but allow me. to
, point out that there is a battery in
front, battery on each flank, and the
ground is covered with Russian rifle
men"
Lucan answered 81 cannot hell
that. 1t is Lord Raglands positive
order that the Light Brigade is to at
tack the enemy"
Cardigan continues: after advanc-
! ing about eighty yards a shell fell
within reach of my horses feet, and
; Capt. Nolan, who was riding across
J the front, returned, with his arm up
through the intervals of the brigade
shrieking like woman"
Evidently Nolan seeing that q
! terrible blunder had been made, rode
across the front of the brigade en-
eavoring with his sword to direct it tc
make the flank movement Raglan
intended instead of the insane frontal
attack which Lucan ordered. Nolan

MUCH COED DONE BY STRIKE
Lawrence Tragedy Has Shown lnfamy
and Outrage of AIdrleh Brand
Of Protection.

The situation at Lawrence, Mass,
Is staring exhibit Of the wrong and
outrage that are wrapped in the rob
Der cloak Of Schedule X.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
is plainly right In his statement Of tho
case. The woolcn manufacturers Of
Lawrence have been haunting the lob
bies of congress for more years Of
rBpacity and intrigue than fairly be-
long to single generation. Under
the cunning hand Of Aldrich they
have spun and woven their 1ndefen-
sible" schedule--in hypocritical pre-
tense Of protecting free American
worBinRmen from the competition of
the pauper labor Of Europe"
With this same woolen schedule In
their pockets the same manufacturers
who have so unctuously negotiated
X and imposed Its heavy taxation upon
all American clothes have sailed of
securely TO Europe, and there have
ransRcked the darkest corners of the
old world TO find aud bring to Amer
lea the very "paupers" from whom
Americans were to be protected.
Or II the poor wretches OF the op-
pressed lands OF the old world were
not quite paupers when they landed
on these shores the WOODEN manufac-
turers have done their best to make
them paupers after they got here, by
paying them paupor wages.
Did ever screaming farce end in
such pathos--in such tragedy? Law
renee has been made into an economic
plague spot-a menace to the board
and clothes Of all honest working
Americans.

Testimonials to the Necessary Man.

Like the steel trust, the sugar trust
now enters a plea of immunity,
The steel trust holds that, us more
than one Republican president "ac-
quiesced" in its organization and de-
velopment, It cannot be prosecuted.
The sugar trust maintains that the
decision In the Knight case in 1904
is a bar to proceedings against 1t for
conspiracy
In the Knight case there was a pre-
tense that the department Of justice
WAS moving against the sugar trust,
but the case was so carelessly pre-
pared that nothing came of II. Some
people we're unkind enough TO say
that there was no purpose on the part
of the governments officers to secure
a conviction.
People who are not exactly crazy
over the third.term movement should
make note of the fact that the Repub-
lican president under whom for near
ly eight years the government "ac-
quiesced" In the operations of tho
trusts and carried on prosecutions that
good lawyers said were foredoomed
to failure was the necessary man"
who is now awaiting "a call to arrcs." ?"

A Sharp Corner,

The esteemed Outlook. which some
times says things with which the con
tributing editor dlsagrees, remarks
that the ex-president's deelination Of 8
third term In 1904, repeated in 1907
Is to be llkened to a man at breakfas 81
who has had two cups of coffee and
who says: Positively no more" The
meaning Is that he will have no third
term and no more coffee that morning
The devil himself cannot tell what he
will want the next day.
We absolye the contributing editor
from all responsibility for this subtle
ty. says the st. Louis Republic. Nc
one not educated In theology could
have done this. We think we car
recognize the guilty man. He Is Rev
Lyman Abbott.
A truly good preacher can turn 1
sharper corner than a politician.
