AFRICA YIELDS OLDEST MAN
Skeleton Hundreds of Thousands OF
Years Old Found in Desert in
German Section.

Berlin.-That highly-developed hu-
man race inhabited Africa many hun
dreds of thousands of years ago is
shown, according to DR.. Hans Rock
professor of paleontology of Berlin, by
the discovery of a perfectly preserved
fossil human skeleton in the desert
of German East Africa.
The skeleton was extracted from
diluvial strata in dry and desert
canyon, once apparently a fertile,
equatorial swamp. The fossil is one
of the most remarkable in existence,
being quite perfect in teeth, skull,
ribs, breastbone and extremities, de-
spite it's incalculable age proved by
fossils of extinct animals which sur
rounded it. The skeleton shows few
signs of 'undeveloped' humanity.
''At this geological epoch a very
tied the African continent" declares
the doctor "The fossil was found
in tufa limestone, and must have
been deposited there when the exist
ing desert was equatorial swamp;
that is, at the period when central
Europe was passing through the gla-
cial epoch
The same tufa excavations revealed
monstrous elephants, hippopotomi,
rhinoceros, gigantic apes and many
other animals either extinct or degen-
Grated. The skeleton is believed to be
much nearer than anything yet dis
covered to the original foundation Of
the human race

'possum waddled fatty away the rabbit
sat down to plan out the words he
would say when he got to- the next set
tlement.
Early next morning the rabbit and
the 'possum started out. In very
little while the rabbit was far ahead of
the 'possum, for the 'possum was fat
and slow traveller. SO the rabbit
came to the next settlement at noon,
and when all the animals there had
come in to eat dinner the rabbit stood
up and said that he had brought the
message from the Great Council of the
animals for all the animals in that set
tlement to get married at once
Everybody knew that the rabbit was
the messenger from the Great Coun-
Gil, and SO, even before they sat down
to eat their dinner, everybody who was
not married picked cut wife. The
rabbit picked out wife for himself,
too; and then they all sat down 20
make their dinner a great wedding
feast.
In the afternoon. when the 'possum
came along, there was no wife left for
hin! But the rabbit said to him:
THAT is too bad! Now, | will tell
you what we will do; we will go on to
the next settlement, and there you will
be sure to get Wife And after the
'possum had rested and eaten some
thing they set out again. But, again,
the rabbit got far ahead of the wad-
ding possum, and when he came to
the settlement he called all the ami
amls together and stood up to say
Il come from the Great Council, and
I bring word that you are all to begin
to make war at once. So long have
you been at peace that you are getting
lazy. Now, everybody must begin to
fight at once!" And the rabbit said it
SO loudly that everybody in that set
tlement took up their arms and began
to fight.
But the rabbit did not want to fight
and in six jumps he was off and away,
taking his wife with him. Then. Just
as the fight was getting fierce, the
'possum came up, and they all jumped
on him. Not having any weapons to
fight with, because he was on a we'd
ding journey, all the possum could do
to save himself was to fall over, curl
up and pretend to be dead.
And SO, say some of the old people,
he does to this day whenever there is
| trouble.

The Success Label.

Upton Sinclair, commenting in Bal
timore on the enormous fortunes now
existing in America, said:
'In no other place the world over
are such fortunes to be found One
reason is that our laws regulating
financial transactions are less strin-
gent than those of other countries,
and another reason is that even where
we have laws our magnates forget
about them.
"In fact" Mr.. Sinclair concluded
with a laugh, "the histories of some
of our largest American fortunes show
clearly that on the door of success is
