But you can't. And we can go

she was sick. And he told her to

You can't tell about the hurt

Then she CHANGED to look right
into the face of the tired old horse
who stood beside the curb, while
his driver refreshed himself in a
nearby saloon.
The horse had been dragging an
enormous load from. nobody
knows where for nobody knows
how many weary miles.
He stood with bowed and de-
jected head. breathing hard, while
he rested for a few moments, be-
fore his driver returned to urge
him on.
The heart Of the little girl
swelled with a sudden feeling of
comradeship.
The heaven born emotion Of
sympathy took possession of her
and drove out self-pity.
She slipped her thin arm about
the long nose of the old horse.

that l understand all about it;
and that l am sorry for you. And
l am saying a little prayer for
you; and hope you won't have

that you will get more to eat than

somehow know that g. tired little
girl who never had quite enough
to eat in her life wishes she could
put you in a great big field such
as she saw once when the Fresh
Air Folks took her into the coun-
try; and that she could let you
stay there forever and forever,
and that she could stay there
with you.
Now, goodbye, old horsey,"
Then she picked up her pail and
passed on.
And the driver came out Of the
saloon and said Get up" and the
old horse moved stiffly on.
But into the air of the street
had gone q vibration of divine
sympathy, making the whole bet
ter.
For just as the wireless mes
sage goes out upon the air waves,
and vibrates on and on, until re-
corded at wireless stations, so
every impulse and thought of hu-
man hearts goes on until received
at some other heart station.

HURING the prehistoric epochs
of the Paleolithic Age man
was dweller in caverns and
under rude shelters in river val
legs, and he lived principally by
hunting and fishing, With the be-
ginning of the Neolithic Age, while
he did not abandon altogether his
old manner of living, he began to
cultivate the soil, developed a rude
sort of agriculture and raised do
nestle animals. II is to this pc
riod that the recent discoveries to
which | have referred pertain.
One of the most clearly defined
of the earliest epochs of the Neo-
lithic Age is called the Azilian,
from the cavern OF the Mas-dAz
in the pyrenees, where many relics
of the men of that time have been
found. Here. for instance, have
been discovered specimens of
wheat which the people of that
time cultivated The same grain
has been found In many other loca-
tious in Europe which were occu.

other early Neolithic epochs

been recognized that this ancient

She herself was overworked and

She had been thinking, as she
walked along. how wonderful life
must be to those people she saw

of Fribourg, especially to produc-
ing straw for weaving purposes.
Better species of wheat have since
been developed for mans consump-
ton, but it is interesting to learn
that our predecessors so early dis
covered the best of all grains for
food.
Several other kinds of grain
have also been found among the
deposits left by Neolithic man,
among Them being barley, rye and
oats. But the wheat is much more
abundant than the rye. while the
quantity of barley cultivated seems
TO have been much greater than
that of oats,

Flax was cultivated, but the spe-
cies was different from that pre-
ferred to-day, although it yet grows
wild in countries surrounding the
Mediterranean Sea.
Fruit culture appears to have
been neglected, although there is
proof that wild fruits were eaten,
particularly small apples and pears,
which were usually halved or quar-
tered aud then dried One of these
ancient species of pears is still
found in Switzerland under the
name of achras.
One of the most interesting re-
suits of the investigations is the
evidence obtained that the new
people of the Neolithic Age were.

Questions Answered
PANAMA CANAL.

H. p. C.--The idea Of a PAM
anna Canal is almost as old as the
history of the Western Hemi-
sphere No sooner had the Span
iards settled along the Isthmus
than they saw the necessity for
some way of getting through
from ocean to ocean that would
do away with the long and dan
gerous sail around the South
American Continent. The De
Lesseps attempt failed for two
reasons, primarily the unhealthy
conditions prevailing at the
Isthmus and the scoundreUy

direction of Asia. The wheat that
they cultivated at various places
in Europe was, in the opinion Of
Zaborowski, of AsiatiC origin, and
they must have brought it with
them at the time of their Eruption
into the Mediterranean lands.
Wheat Of Egyptian origin is also
found in the places inhabited by
the Neolithic peoples of Western
Europe.
In these scattered facts one can
dimly perceive the course of
dramatic history far antedating the
earliest recorded acts of man,
during which hordes of strangers
descended from Asia upon Europe,
as similar hordes have done within
historic time, drove out, eXtermi-
mated or amalgamated with them
selves the original inhabitants and
introduced new customs, new ideas
and a new stimulus to progress.

IF you will think over the
women you know whose hys-
bands are crazy over them
and who are always telling what
my wife said" and my mother
thinks" you will have it borne in
upon your mind that every one Of
these women is a good humored,
cheerful woman, whose laugh is
hung on a hair trigger, and not
one of them is a conspicuously
good housekeeper. Indeed, some
OF them are woefully slack house
keepers, but the husband and the
children don't care IL there is dust
on the upper right hand corner of
the top pantry shelf, and they
sometimes have to pin things to-
gether with safety pins because
q button is off. Mother is so jolly
and so ready to chime in with
any youthful plan.
Wife's bills are not cut down to
the quick, and her cooking isn't
all that fastidious palate could
desire, but she Is always there
with the welcoming smile, and
she's always so satisfied and such
a good fellow and so ready to see
a mans point of view, and, Lord,
when you think of that and the
kind of a wife some men have
had wished on them! What's a
tough steak to tough disposi-
ton? What's watery potatoes to
a weeping woman who is always
in the doleful dumps?
That's about the way ones hus-
band and ones children argue.
It's about the way the matter
strikes most Of us, because we
are not really Sc material, after
all. We care more for the spirit
than we do for the body, and the
people we love best and enjoy
most are not those who look after
our physical comfort. 1t is those
who minister to our spiritual we'll

1t Is better for a woman to neg.

out that she's so busy with her

And men make exactly the same

his family that he leaves himself
no time in which to be com

and he comes home so deadly
tired from his days work that
he's as cross as a Bore-headed

The money that such a man
makes brings as little happiness
to his family as does the expert
housekeeping of such a woman.
Fathers and mothers and hus-

cheerfulness and good humor and
pleasantness to their families as
well as that Of providing for their
physical wants, and if they must

who devote themselves TO pleas

CENTRAL At WORK ON

tie Central railroad for the purpos >
OF establishing an experimental farm
and a large colony of white immi-
grants was done this week, when Agri-
cultural Agent j. F. Jackson, of the
railroad company, together with j. J..
Littlejohn, former owner Of a large
part of the tract, went over the land
on tour of inspection.
The tract lies entirely and we'll
within Lee county, embracing the
former Davis place and parts of two
other places, which bring it right 10
to the railroad lines. 1t is planned
to have roads worked in excellent
condition throughout the tract, while
other needed Improvements viii be
made. Work on the actual improve.
ment of the tract will begin in the
fall, and it is thought that number
o. immigrants will come in to select
farms this fall.
The people of Lee county are heart
lily in sympathy with the improvement
plans which serve to give this county
advantage in the way of exploiting its
excellent agricultural resources which
very few counties in the state possess.
The tract is just south of Leesbure
and its improvement will affect every
section of Lee county in most favor
able manner, both in the enhancement
of real estate values and in stimulat
