GIANTS OF. THE PAST.
Thoughts Suggested by a Recent
: Find in Hardin County. XIV.

From the Louisville Courcr-Journal.
A Hardin county farmer has dug up
q skeleton which measures twelve feet.
The find was made at the foot oe a cliff
which evidently had been. the burial
ground Of a prehistoric race, as nu-
merous other skeletons were found,
most of them being Of gigantic proper
tons Such places Of sepulchre are not
uncommon in Kentucky. and they are
supposed to date back q matter of 1000
years. It is evident that there were
giants in those days." but the people
now on earth do not know or care much
about them.
Our predecessors whose gargantuan
frames have been sleeping the sleep OF
centuries did not leave us any history
OF themselves. Facilities for making
records of current events were not good
in this country a couple OF thousand
years ago. If the giants left any nota-
lions on the cliffs or elsewhere they
have been obliterated by Time in his
flight. More than likely they didn't
leave any. They led the simple life and
probably knew no reason why any one
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-02-18

mand. They had few cooking vessels and
in all ways lived close to nature. Whether
they dwelt in caves or roasted in trees
is not material. We may wen imagine
they believed in and practiced the fresh
air theory. since they lacked means and
ways of rOlluting the ozone or OF steam
ing up their crude domiciles. Perhaps
that Is one Of the reasons why they grew
tall and sun-crowned and were able to
leap across Rolling fork without taking
a running start.
Kentucky soil has always produced
superior class Of citizens. The discoveries
OF the Hardin county farmer supply val
liable evidence to the effect that the soil
acquired the habit early and never has
gotten out OF 1t. Whatever the present
generations may lack in length. breadth
and thickness Is well compensated for In
the quality of the fiber. In the read
tustnent of things that has taken place In
the past ZOO years the giants had to
gO-along with the mammoth and the
mastodon-simply because the world no
longer needs them In its business AT
present a twelve-foot individual would
be hopelessly out OF place and in the way.
