New "Missinq Link"

An important find of human remains
has been made in Sussex, England. 1t
is part of skull and jawbone, and
will come to be known as the "Pilt-
down" skull. So far. it is believed
possible, the remains belong to that
immensely remote period when the
North Sea was dry and the mastodon
roamed the land; in short, to the PHO
Gene era. The skull is extraordinarily
thick, nearly one-half of an inch 1t
has a good straight forehead, and un7
doubtedly had brain. The jaw seems
to indicate, however, that there was
no power of speech. There are mere
ly two we'll worn molar teeth In place,
but other things show that in life
there were great CANNES and large
front teeth. In this it differs from the
famous Heidelberg skull, which is also
apelike in form but hman as to teeth.
1t was found with mastodon and PHO
Gene elephant bones, and primitive
flints; but these. Sir Ray Lancaster
considers may or may not have been
coeval. The skull is being restored
1t seems to link man to a new spe-
cies and confirm his near relation to
the ape. The find was made by an
amateur geologist, Charles Dawson, F.
S. A.

Quite Good Interest.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie tells the fol-
lowing story with great relish. When
his father was leaving his native
country to settle in America he bor-
rowed twenty pounds from a relative.
The family had an uphill battle on
the other side of the Atlantic, but.
when the tide of prosperity turned
with the son. he remembered his
fathers Indebtedness, and determined
to clear it of, together with it's ac-
curulated interest. He started by re-
mitting the sum Of twenty pounds, and
for several years sent the same
amount-a dividend equal to exactly
100 per cent Returning to Scotland.
the Pittsburgh ironmaster met his old
relative.
Well" said Mr. Carnegie, having
paid up good deal Of the interest, I
should like now to clear on the prin-
cipal."
"Ah, ay, Andrew, dinna ye fash
ferseP aboot the loan, Am pair
fectly satisfied with the interest"
"Ah, but I'm rich enough now, I
think, to clear off the principal!" re-
piled the millionaire.
"Dinna mind the principal, Andrew, >"
said the relative, Sits very weel in
vested as it isl" f

seven human beings I've benefited"
She turned meekly away.
Hold on" said st. Peter. She turn

What have they done for their
kind?"
The mothers eyes shone.
"One discovered a new anaesthetic-
One secured the passage of bill
which did good to hundreds. The
other established a home for blind

should blight her life?
Darling" cried the frantic Ben
ming, let me explain!"
Then explain!" blazed his Wife.
Good Lord!" groaned Benning, af-
ter a wilG instant: Il can't! I"
Il shall go home to mother" an
nounced Mrs. Benning. 81 shall tell
the janitor to bring up my trunks"
The rest of that night Mrs. Benning
held her outraged head very high
while carrying things from the closets
and bureau drawers to trunks, Ben
ming alternately tagging after her,
piteously expostulating, or sunk in the
biggest armchair in an attitude ex-
pressive of complete WEAKNESS with
the world.
Il know it sounds foolish" he
moaned, "to say 1 don't know how the
confounded things got there. but"
1T certainly does!" Mrs. BennIng
assured him, frostily. 81 at least gave
you credit for more Imagination"
1t was just after Mrs. Benning had
telephoned for a taxi in the morning
that the phone rang and Benning
stumbled to it.
"Hello!" said Usher's voice. Say,
have you by any chance got my wife's
brown silk stockings in your overcoat
pocket"
Here! Hurry" yelled Benning,
beckoning frantically to Mrs. Benning.
Come and listen to this!"
/ don't care!" said Mrs Benning
some moments later. when the crying
and forgiving were over Il never did
Ike that Mrs. Usher, anyhow! And
now, Arthur Benning. you can just set
70 work and holm mo unpocL D-Tb;
cago Daily News.
