Thousands of Readers
Never Heard of
Aurignacians.

There are, no doubt, many thou
sands of readers who have never
heard Of those wonderful anccs-
tors Of ours, the Aurignacians. l
must, then, explain who they were
and when they lived.
To find them we have to 60 back
so far that, from the point of view
which they occupied, the greatness
Of Babylonia and Egypt. with
which recorded history begins. was
hidden far beneath the horizon of
coming time. The space of time
stretching between them and the
days when Joseph was sold by his
brethren into Egypt is a hund,,cd
times longer than that which sep
arates us from the age of the
PharaOhs
History as we know it is only a
little iSlet in the ocean of geologi-
cal time, and when we have gone
back to the uttermoSt extremity of
our islet we have hardly drawn
perceptibly nearer to the immense
ly longer island of time that was
occupied by the Aurignacians and
their predecessors. 1t lies away
of beyond the mists and the waves.
invisible to the historian with his
myopic eyes, but percepdble to the
telescope vision Of the "pre-his-
torian," who employs the magic
lenses of geologic science.
This distance can not be meas
urcd in centuries. those trifiing
yard sticks of history. and we can
only say that its span covers hun
drcdS Of thousands of years. The
great glacial ages that have in sue
ceSSion swept over the earth form
the swinging pendulum that marks

Ability Of a Jurist Should
Be Partly Public
Property.

The greatness of an able jurist
ought to be to some extent the
property Of the public and to throw
itself along the lines of public in
terest without consideration Of a
retainer
Mr.. Choate has pronounced him
self in the same way, and has
handsomely enforced the principle
by example. Mr.. Taft said not long
ago in private conversation: q
am open to any Macedonian cry"
All of which is way Of protest
ing against commercializing the
legal profession.
But, as already stated, the appli-
cation Of the principle is not
limited to the law, but extends as
well to the service of the physi-
clan and the preacher.
Physicians are chargeable with
the responsibility of keeping the
world well, over and above the par
ticular responsibility Of saving the
lives of those who are able to
make to them a quid pro quo A
clergyman is a poor clergyman
who does not do lot Of work that
he receives no pay for and that
self-respect would forbid his re-
ceiving any pay for.
We have not even yet quite for
gotten the trouble that arose over
the matter of the compensation to
be received by the late Joseph
Parker, Of London, for coming over
to this country to preach Henry
Ward Beecher's funeral sermon.
The criticism excited at the time
indicates plainly enough the sym
pathy which the public has with
the principle underlying what Mr.
Taft said at Montreal in regard to

was made along the same lines,
while a certain degree of skill was
developed in the fashioning of
bones instead Of flints into tools
and weapons.
And then came the great Aurig-
nacian epoch, which, in the light
of recent discoveries. seems to me
one of the most glorious in the en-
tire career Of humanity. The in.
terest that one taxes in it is akin
to that which we feel in the first
dawning of intelligent action in a
child. The Auriguacian was the
typical man-child. With him homo

A Thing Is Worth What
It Will Fetch in
Shaka1c
Shekels.

Il am I, and the public is some
thing else. A thing is worth what
It will fetch in shekels. All com,
modities, the strength that is in
my muscles, the thought-power
that is in my brain, even the love
power in my heart, are all forms Of
value, a kind of pounds, shilIings
and pence, to be dispensed there
fore only on the standard Of the
dollar. Life is barter, an exchange
Of equals, give and take, at the de-
termination Of the balances"
Mr.. Taft did not put it In that
form at Montreal, but that was
what, in his more learned and
stately way, he was protesting
against.

Art Work of Forebears
Greatly Improved in
His Age.

He vastly improved the rude
work of his forebears in flint and
bone, hut his great claim to ad-
miration rests upon the fact that
he was the FIRST artist. lie gave
rein to his Imagination. He saw
the world around him with a com
pretending glance, and left in
stone, in bone, in ivory. in rock
carvings and in coIored paintings
representations Of what his eyes
beheld and Of what his fancy pic
turcd in his brain, and these rep

TT was a graceful tribute which
was rendered to Mr. Taft by
the American Bar Association
in unanimously electing him to its
presidency, a tribute to his ability
as a jurist and to his elegant and
genial courtesy as a man.
Most Of the contents of his ad-
dress on that occasion win be best
understood and appreciated by the
members of his own profession,
but the protest which he made
against practicing law merely as a
means of subsistence, without re-
gard to the worlds broader social
and communal interests, is a plea
which is easily understood by US
all, and which relates to every
kind of service as we'll as to that
of the law.
The underlying principle upon
which such a protest as that Of
Mr.. Taft is based is that man
belongs to the world as well as to
himself.
A gentleman who occupies a ma
tional judicial position Of unsur-
passed responsibility recently re-
marked to me that the public has
very little idea of the vast amount
Of legal talent that exercises itself
in quiet Office work which never
comes to outside disclosure, talent,
therefore, whose influence fails to
extend itself beyond the frontiers
Of its own distinctly professional
field.

commercializing ones self, making
ones talent a mere marketable
commodity, so much ability drop
ped into the slot and so many
dollars coming out at the receiver.
And the same principle goes
even beyond the limits of profess
sional life and extends TO all life.
1t is the common tendency of peo-
pie to think of all kinds Of COM
modify in terms Of dollars and
cents. Not only does the grocer
think Of his potatoes as being SO
much money in the shape Of vege-
table, but wants that whole amount
in money when he parts with the
potatoes.

Only Natural to Demand
Money Equivalent in

And so whatever else any one
bestows it is ones impulse to have
in mind its money equivalent and
TO expect the full equivalent from
the party to whom he barriers it.
Judas Iscariot saw in Marys
alabaster cruise Of ointment poured
on our Lords feet only its cash
value. There is in the New Tesla
ment the story Of a sorcerer named
Simon, who saw Peter working
miracles by the power of Gods
Spirit, and asked him how much
he would have to pay for enough
Spirit to be able to work miracles
himself.
Of course, that is an extreme
case, but all the more valuable on
that account, because exhibiting in
so frank a way what exists in more
modest shape in the hearts Of peo-
pie generally.
Judas and Simon were like the
rest Of people, before and since,
only perhaps in a more aggravated
form. It is well to inspect such
people, for they show us what we
should be if we were what we are
now, only a little more so.
When we ask the familiar ques-
ton viii it pay?" we mean by it
shall we get as much back as we
give?" That is the genius of COM
mercialism. 81 am for sale; now,
who will pay me what I am worth?
My services are rated at so much.
Pay me accordingly and you can

BREAKS WORLD AUTO
RECORD IN PORTLAND

Portland, June 30.-Automobile
fans are still gasping today over the
thrill they got at the Country Club
track yesterday afternoon when Bob
Burman, the racing demon, shatter-
ed the worlds record for the mile,
flying start, by taking the circular
course in As lilo seconds. This sets
at naught the previous high mark OF
1852 made by himself last Labor Day
at Brighton Beach track.
Burman hardly expected to turn
the trick when he tuned up his car
before the start. He wanted to beat
the time he made at this track Sat
urday, but believed the surface a
trife too slippery to do wonders
When the official timekeepers an.
nounced the result, wild Bob" was
as astonished as the crowd. When
the 800 horsepower Bitten Benz
flashed on the first turn with only
two wheels touching, the crowd be.
gan to realize It was seeing some.
thing more than ordinary in speed
Then the engine roared louder, the
white torpedo thing shot faster and
on the final turn. fairly rode the
top of the fence, shooting In on the
stretch in haze of dust.
Burman also won both heats in the
three mile race and also took the
three mile handicap in two minutes,
AZ seconds, which is faster than the
distance was ever made before on
the local track.

$4,000 CIVIL WAR
VETERANS IN CAMP.

Gettysburg, Pa, June SO,--Forty-
five thousand veterans of the civil
war spent today living over again the
terrific battle of so years ago when
General Meade and General Lee turn
ed their legions southwark from the
hills of Gettysburg.
The physicians attending the old
soldiers were apprehensive, but the
veterans all say 1t is not nearly SO
hot today as 1t was so years ago.
General Bennett Young, commander
n-chief of the confederate veterans,
was escorted today to headquarters
by a detachment of blue and grey
veterans. General Alfred Beers, CON-
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, is already on the
ground.
Only two hours a day will be de-
voted to any set program, the physi-
clans fearing the veterans might not
be able to stand longer strain. The
first formal function will take place
this afternoon, when residents OF
Gettysburg will receive the survivors
of General Joe Wheeler's cavalry and
Buford's union cavalrymen.
Two veterans already have sue
cumbed to the heat, and fifty others
are Frustrated. 1t is feared the ex-
citement' combined with the heat,
will result in the prostration of 9TH
ers.
