AS we gaze at them the mists of

Brain VS.. Drawn.
The gorilla-like creature with
the appraised club, the face of a
devil and the limbs OF a giant, and
his antagonist with the flint knife
and the profile Of a cunning ape
are human beings who, as yet,
know only one side of their ma
ture-the brute side.
Under those fiat skulls there is
just enough intelligence to enable
their owners to sharpen a piece of
flint to a cutting edge, and to tie
a stone 10 the end of a club in
order to make a more effective
weapon.
But it is this spark Of intelli-
gence which, transmitted to their
descendants, will found the mag
nificent race of intellectual man!
With absolute unconsciousness
of what they are really doing,
these creatures are cultivating the
BRAINS that are to save their
kind from the common fate of
mere brutes The germ Of every
art and science was in the MAX
ing of that flint knife, the tying
OF that stone to a stick, the sharp
ening of that javelin in the fire
Two mere brutes would have
fought for that prey with the
weapons that nature gave them
teeth and claws.
These creatures have already
proved their superiority by IN
VENTING something better to
fight with. They are fighting with
their brains, although they are not
yet aware that they have any
brains.
Their descendants will use guns,
swords and bullets instead of
stone clubs. flint knives and fire.
pointed javelins, but the fight in
stinct will remain for ages 10
come.
Under these low. receding brows
there is the beginning of some
thing else, which is to be Of far
greater value to future humanity.
There is forethought and consid-
Grafton for others.
Dinner in the Balance.
The human ape with the knife
probably lives in a cavern and
there his family, his wife and chill

Of the struggle, which is to decide

A Story Worth Study.

Is there any story better worth
studying than that of this gradual
development Of man out of the
brute? Is there any better way
to stimulate the resolve, which
everyone must feel deep in his
nature, TO do something to has
ten the time when war and blood
shed shall cease, than by looking
upon this vivid picture Of the
origin Of those things? Il tells
us, as no words could do. how
dreadfully slow our progress has
been.
The same ungovernsd passion
that inspires those two brutes in
the picture masters men on the
battlefield to-day The clenched
jaws. the glazing eyes. the Kissing
breath, the vicious strokes TO AL
all come back again as repul.
sive as they were in the old Stone
Age.
But the hope Of humanity lies
in the fact that the moral in
stinct has gained upon the purely
selfish one. The men of the pre-
historic caverns had no sympa-

|EGBERT DECLARES
BARKEEP HIT HIM
Was Result of An Argument
Over Payment of a
Drink.

An argument over the payment for a
drink of gin with peppermint" last
week was the cause of C. Q. Egbert's
filing an affidavit, charging assault
and battery against William Reaser,
bartender. Egbert claims that he was
struck by Reaser while this is denied
by the defendant The case was tried
in police court this morning but could
not be settled because of the conflict
ing stories of the chief witnesses.
Because Egbert did not pay for a
drink, Reaser, the bartender at a sa-
loon at 912 Main street, refused to
make him another drink later in the
day. When Reaser was ordered by the
proprietor to make the drink, he quit
his job and another argument between
he and Egbert followed.
Reaser denied striking Egbert but
stated that he would have done so had
it not been for Egbert's age. The latter
says that his lip was cut by the blow
which Reaser struck him. Both men
are now waiting for the return of a
man who witnessed the affair and both
expect his testimony to prove their
side of the case The witness was call
ed out of the city on account of the
death of relative and the case was
continued by Mayor Zimmerman.

New Ideas For Nursery.

Mothers are anxious to make the
nursery attra, tive these days. What
are called life motifs" or studies from
nature are now popular designs for
decoration and can easily be achieved.
Take a single large sheet of water
color paper and on this paste a variety
of cut out white paper animals, which
are to serve as frieze. At regular
intervals of twelve inches paste one of
these animals-a dog, cat, squirrel.
kangaroo or any kind of bird. All
these must be cut out of white paper
though a little variety is afforded by
giving yellow bills and red feet to the
chickens.
The walls above and below this
frieze Of white animals may be painted
in tan color and so serve as a restful
background to the decorations.
The bird motif in the brilliant colors
of every gay hued parrot. robin red
breast, bird of paradise, etc, is also
highly effective on a background OF
gray cartridge paper and invariably
pleases nursery of children.

BIRDS AND COLORS.
Pigeons and Chickens Can See What

Is Invisible to Man.
1t has been slowly brought to our
understanding that the world is not
the same to all creatures, and probably
no experiments have tended more to
make this clear than those on the
color sense of chickens, pigeons, owls
and kestrels.
Hungry chickens and pigeons were
first kept an hour in a bright room for
them to become accustomed to the
light. The floor was then spread with
smooth black cloth, evenly covered
with grains of wheat. strong spec
trum was thrown on it from the CELL
ing and the hungry animals were turn
ed loose. They picked the wheat first
from the bright red, then the ultra red,
next the yellow and finally the green.
They touched nothing in the blue and
violet because they saw nothing; but,
on the other hand. they saw the grains
In the ultra red that were invisible to
the men.
