improvised Evolution,

A New York college student met the
following question in an examination
How does the evolution of the horse
illustrate the principle of adaptation
to environment" His answer showed
how the student-mind can meet an
emergency.
Adaptation to environment is illus
trated by the evolution of the horse.
While the horse lived undisturbed on
the plains in the West, he had large.
broad teeth for eating grass, His limbs
were poorly developed. Later the
horses limbs developed, so that he
could run very quickly. The horse
travelled across Bering Strait into
Asia. There he developed the power
of helping man, and was used as a
pack animal. Later, assisted by man,
the horse returned to North America
and conquered the buffalo. AS he de-
veloped the trotting habit two of his
toes disappeared. Even two of the
others are useless, for he walks on
only one large toe. The teeth at the
side of the horses mouth disappeared,
as they were no longer used after he
had left the plains in the West"

IN AFRICA'S WILDS
BY H. M. EGBERT.

Copyright, 1914. by w. C. Chapman9
"Mlungu!" said Roberts native boy,
pointing to the faint wagon trail that
lay among the burned grass, and Rob
erts understood The word means
white man" and is in universal use
throughout wide region of Africa
There was a wagon, and there were
four oxen. AS nobody starts into the
jungle with less than eight oxen Rob
erts surmised that the other animals
had been eaten by lions. If this were
the case, the explorer, or whoever he
was, was having a hard time of it.
The oxen had lain down repeatedly
and it was 200 miles to the nearest
settlement.
nights and on the third morning he
came upon the white mans camp.
The camp fire had gone out. The
natives had deserted, driving away the
oxen with them. The explorer lay on
his back, unconscious, on the straw
mattress in the abandoned wagon, de-
lirious and apparently dying. 1t was
Westoby
Westoby was the last man Roberts
had expected to see in these wilds. He
had left England year before, when
pretty Mary Joyce, in fit of pique,
threw him over. Her engagement to
Westoby had been announced just be-
fore Roberts sailed to hunt lions and
buffalo in the jungle.
Roberts encamped, and for eight
days he fought the fever devil that
was grinding down Westobys constitu-
ton. On the ninth day the fever devil
withdrew, baffied. But Westoby lay at
the point of death 1t seemed impos-
sible that he could survive that dread
full weakness.
He opened his eyes feebly and rec
ognized Roberts
Hello, old mani" he said, stretching
out one limp hand
Roberts took the hand and for five
days more nursed Westoby back to
life. Often the man relapsed into de-
lirium and whispered Mary's name At
such times Roberts resolutely closed
his ears. He would not listen.

Suddenly Saw Sight That Completely
Unnerved Him.

Finally the day came when Westoby
was we'll enough to sit up. They had
touched upon every topic but the one
which was vital to both of them. But
the time could be delayed no longer.
And so they dropped into the discus
sion simultaneously, after one of those
silences which fell constantly between
them
How did you leave Mrs. Westoby?''
inquired Roberts.
Very WELL" said Westoby she
often speaks of you, Roberts. You
were old friends
Yes" answered Roberts, resolute-
ly. He had learned all he wanted to
know. Westoby and Mary were mar
ried. There was no more to ask.
Why had he not let Westoby die?
The damning thought occurred and re-
Cured to him insistently. He had be-
gun to hate Westoby more than ever,
Westoby, now rapidly regaining
strength and health. He would have
pulse overmastered him.
he had never meant to return to
England, but now, if Westoby died,
why could he not go back and win
Mary's love. That she and her hus-
band had developed irreconciIable diff
ferences was sure, otherwise why
should Westoby have left her after less
than year of marriage?
The two men said good-by and sepa-
rated. Westoby was going to continue
his hunting trip in the interior, he
said. There was native village few
miles away, where oxen could be pur-
chased and fresh servants hired Rob-
erts announced his plan of returning
to the coast. He had grown tired of
the country. In truth, he felt that
Nary's spiritual presence there, re-
hected through Westoby, made Africa
impossible.
Without emotion, with a final hand
clasp, Roberts rode away beside his
wagon, his native boy upon the seat
shouting to the oxen. At the top Of
the rise Roberts looked back. Westoby
was sitting upon his horse, looking
after him with peculiar expression.
1t looked almost malignant to Roberts.
He wondered whether the man had
Sensed his own hostility toward him.
They drove all night Roberts was

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY
HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY 1T!
Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark,
Glossy and Thick With Garden
Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For so cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. By morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant You will also dis
cover dandruff is gone and hair has
stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire youthful and attractive ap-
pearance, get busy at once with Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur and look years
younger. Adv.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, BeautifuI-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after q
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at tine. The effect is amaz-
tng-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's S
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty ano Joft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's S
aIl-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

ASKED SPEAKER FOR A SONG
Anger Of Dgnifed Head of Brit
ish Parliament.

Mr.. Balfour is credited with know
ing more good stories about the Brit
ish house of commons than any other
member. One of his best is the fol-
lowing, which he told at a public din
ner some time ago:
II remember hearing of a distin-
guished gentleman" he said, "who re-
ported in the press gallery just about
one hundred years ago. He had had
an excellent dinner, washed down
with excellent wine. He was bored
with the debate He was wearied with
the supertiuity of rhetoric, which pre-
vailed just as much one hundred years
ago as today. He got bored, and he
got up and asked the speaker for a
song.
"The speaker of that day was Mr.
AddingtOn, a gentleman who was moth
ing, if not proper. The whole house,
except the speaker, was convulsed
with laughter.
The Sergeant-at-armS was appealed
to. He went to the gallery and he in
quired The culprit retained the pres
ence of mind to point to respectable
Quaker sitting below him, and this
unfortunate gentleman was actually
taken into custody"

MIR. BEAGLEs DEAD.
Former AudraIn County Man Passes
Away in Colorado.

The Message had short mention
two weeks ago of the death of Frank
Beagles at Cripple Creek Colo. He
was a brother of Judge J. w. Beagles
and Monroe Beagles and Mrs. N. s.
Johnston, of near Worcester, this
county, and of Mrs. ]. M. Atkinson
of Mexico. He visited these relatives
last fall. He held membership in the
Masonic Lodge at Laddonia and was
at one time in business there. A
Colorado paper gives the following
account of his death:
Frank Beaglss, As years old, pio-
neer miner of this district, died at
his home on Placer street, last night,
at 1925 o'clock, from miners con-
sumption, with which he had been
suffering for several months. The
last seven weeks Mr.. Beagles was
belfast, and his condition was such
for several months that he was prac-
tieally an invalid. Last fall he spent
two months at his former home in
Mexico, Mo-, in hopes of regaining
his health, but his condition was on
ly slightly improved, when he re-
turned shortly before the first of
the year.
Mr.. Beagles is survived by widow
and two sons, Eugene and Kenneth.
He was prominent in fraternal cir
cles, being a member in good stand
ing of the Odd Fellows, Eagles and
A.. F. and A. NJ, and had insurance
in the Woodmen of the World order.
Funeral services were held on
Thursday afternoon from the family
home and interment took place al

IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Cassius Clay Tells of His Visit t.
That Country.

The Farber Forum last week used
the following interview:
The Forum enjoyed talk at Mex
leo with Cassius Clay, who recently
returned from an extended trip in
South America, having been with j.
D. Orear, United States Minister to
Bolivia, at La Paz. He said that
John is making good in the respon-
sible position he now holds and has
been highly complimented Off
cially for his work in establishing
and facilitating trade relations be-
tween the respective governments.
La Paz, the capital, is situated on the
mountain summit, far inland. 1t is
city OF about 10000 people, of
which only about 10000 are white.
There are only about 20 Americans
living there. Mr.. Clay said it is a
nice city, well governed, with cleo
trio lights, waterworks, and other
modern conyeniences. He also told
us something about Bolivia that we
hadn't thought Of. He said it is
larger than all that part of the U. S.
lying east of the Mississippi River.
Buenos Ayres. capital of Argetina
and Rio Janerio. capital of Brazil,
are. he says, the finest cities he ever
visited. that in grandeur and mag
rI!cence, structural beauty of build
rigs and par6ways there is nothing
g compare witt them on the Ameri-
can continent.

The Shelbina TorchlighC makes the
following pointed observations;
President wilson favored the ship
purchase hill in order tt provide
American I5fels to ca;,V wheat.
horses and American goods and mer-
chandise to foreign markets, and to
break the power of the shipping trust
to fix robber rates. Since the waT
began this trust has increased the
rates enormously. It is said that If
the ocean rates were reasonable,
horses bought for the armies would
bring 20 to so per cent more, and
wheat would be 10 to rs cents on
the bushel higher. other things
bought by the belligerents for their
armies would bring more money.
Another object of the bill was laid in
building up trade with Central and
South American countries. Roose-
Welt in a magazine article charged
that the Presidents action on the
bill favored the foreign owners OF
ship interned in our ports. When
called on by a Senate. committee to
appear before it and furnish evil
denee of his charge he refused to
come, but wrote the committee that
he had no information on the CUES
ton other than that possessed by the
public. Then, like a pettifogger, he
repeated the charge. Such conduct
is not only beneath the dignity of a
man who has held high office.bui
is too small and contemplate for even
the ordinary man whose motives are
honest.

thing about street lights. Guess
Mexico can get along awhile any

similar to that of the grand-dad will
not hurt the bets of us. Yet, that

will not concede. Street lights and
the revenue to pay for them will
come in the right time and in the
right way, we trust. Our citizens
more than ever before are perfectly
willing to pay for what they get.

MCMILLAN NOTES.
By Erred Lavender.

On Wednesday afternoon, week
since, the students adjourned to the
auditorium for a big mass meeting.
Mr.. Street acted as chairman and
VIM. Vandeventer led the yells--the
kind that has made McMillan's
pep" and her school spirit known
thruout the State. Each of the base
ball boys made a short talk, and by
joining them altogether the students
were able to get vivid description
Of the games and of the trip. Pitch
er Bryan Atchison said it was not
his pitching that beat Macon High,
but it was the team behind him. to
use his words, "They just pounded
that old ball to death" Morris
Keath and Ryland Rodes each
pounded out a volley of two and
three base hits.
Joy Kistler told one on Freshman
Beamer that brought applause and
cheers from the students. While on
the trip the boys had been speaking
of the fine building a certain high
school has. and one ventured to say
that he would trade our building
for theirs. Then Beamer spoke
these immortal ca words. eve
might trade buildings. but we Ger.
tainly would not trade kids .. Nine
