Speakina of Enns.

Little Genevieve lived with her
grandmother out on the desert on a
homestead where company was a rare
thing. When some one did come she
was almost overcome with joy.
Sometimes an automobile load
would stop to rest on their way
through the country. One day beau
tiful brown-eyed lady stopped for
while. Genevieve and she were hav-.
ing an interesting time together.
Finally Genevieve said, "You have
pretty eyes"
"Have II" said the lady. "Thank
you"
"Yes," said Genevieve, "the yolks Of
them are brown, just like mine."

PunctuaIity His Hobby.

Punctuality is a characteristic of
NJ. Painleve, the French premier. 1t
is one of his boasts that he never kept
anyone waiting second who had an
appointment with him.
He Is a great theater-goer, and at
one time was the writer of dramatic
criticisms in lie Gaulois. He is a
man of marvellous physical and intel
lectual energy.
"Give me four hours sleep, three
days a week." he said once to a friend,
"and / can work full speed for the
rest of the time"

BEGINNING or MAN
Origin Is Retreating More and
More Tito the Past.
Topic Still Absorbs Interest Of Anthro-
biologists and Other Scientists, Each
Discovery Renewing Discussion.

The antiquity Of man is still an alb
sorbing topic among anthropologlsts
and other scientists, and fresh discus.
sions arise with each new discovery
Of ancient human remains. In this
connection, 1t is interesting to note,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
that DR.. Arthur Keith of Edinburgh,
an authority on the subject, believes
that the living Australian abOrigine
Is of an older type than any of the
fossil remains of modern man found
10 Europe. The New York Medical
Journal says:
"The date of the origin of the hu-
man species, by each new discovery
of missing chapters in its history, is
shifted to more and more remote
time. The Neanderthal skull, which,
by its prominent supraOrbital ridges,
its length and flattening from above
downward, seemed to link man close
ly, If loosely, to the higher apes, still
had brain capacity quite equal to
that of the average modern man, and
on this account pointed to a still more
remote beginning of the human being.
The brain of the Neanderthal man was
not only large but elaborate, and, as
shown by the remains of his culture,
he possessed fire and made flint imple-
ments. Though ancient, he was any
thing but an ape.
i'The Heidelberg skull, which resem-
bled the Neanderthal remains but was
still more markedly simian in general
features, had also a capacious brain
case and is believed to have belonged
to creature with comparatively high
mental development The Neanderthal
man is placed some 100000 years back,
while the Heidelberg skull is presumed
to date to dOubly remote time.
"The prehistoric remains found by
Doctor Dubois in Java, the bones of |
PithecanthrOpus, as he has been called,
were of decidedly earlier geological |
date, as indicated both by their sur
and by their own features;
the brain case was small and the era
NAL traits were otherwise more ape
like than those Of any other known re-
mains. All the structural characters
of Pithecanthropus, so far as we know
them, are exactly of the kind we ex-
pect to find in the early ancestral types
of man. The unearthing of the Java
man pushed the date for the origin of
the human type backward another
period of a few hundred thousand
years, or into the Miocene epoch of
geological time.
The chain linking modern man di-
rectly with an early type similar to
the gorilla or chimpanzee seemed to be
growing strong until, in 1912, the
bones Of an ancient man Of another
type were discovered in England in
the Piltdown cave. This, according to
DR.. Arthur Keith, who is as great an
authority as can be found, is the old
est specimen Of true humanity yet dis
covered The brain of this being was,
in size, at least, up to the modern
standard, but otherwise the bones are
the most simian recorded"

Nothing Left.

Yes, we used to sit out in the old
summer house in the beautiful moon
light. Strange to say, Jack never be-
lleved he kissed me so often as 1 ac-
cused him Of doing"
"Ah, and how did you convince
him2
"Why. the next time I told him to
cut notch in the summer house eacL
time he took kiss"
"How did the scheme work?"
"Very well for a while, but-er-
by the end of the week there was no

Willinu to Help.

Being young man, he was telling a
young woman all his troubles. 1t took
him long time, and the evening wore
away. He explained how he had hap
pened to lose his last position, and
how he couldn't seem to get a foot
hold in another. She sighed, and he
took it for sigh of sympathy-may-
be 1t was. -
II am confident that could make
a success" he said, "if 1 could only get

She glanced at the clock. II can

And SO he got his start.

Roofing

on your building you will get the
most efficient roof, and will cut down
the cost of the roof materially.
CERTA1N-TEED Roofing is eco
nomical to buy, inexpensive to lay,
and it costs practically nothing to
maintain. 1t is weathertight, FIRE re-
tardant, clean, sanitary and gives the
utmost roofing service over a period
ofyears. CERTAIN Ted is guar
anteed fo' S, 10 or IS years, accord
ing to thickness Il, 2 or 3 ply.)
There are many roll roofngs, but only
one CERTAIN-TEED. Asst costs
no more to lay CERTAIN-TEED
Roof than it does to lay poor roof,
1t will pay to get the best, and save
on renewals and upkeep. You can't
tell the quality of roll roofing by its
appearance, or by feeling of it; your
only safety is in the label. Be sure it
is CERTAIN-TEED.

u You See Anything You Want, Just Grab It, and Then Loudly
 Yell Germany"

The Columbus (OhIo) Dispatch has invented new game. which. lt must be admitted. ls some game, all right. an right The following is Che outline for phying it;
 The general idea Of the game is GO grab anything you may want and then yell "Gcrmoly!" which abso- utoly offsets any impoIitcncss or Injustice in your act.
 For instance there is but one empty seat in a street. cur and you and an old lady enter the car The old lady does no. see Che seat as soon as you do and you yell Ger many" and gral ,hc seat
 Then. too, a. che dinner table there Is one large piece of Porter house. bigger han any other A quick seizure O. that piece and the cry Of "Gcrmay" upon your part lets you out Of any impolitcncss that may be involved iu Che act.
 When a gentleman friend passes down the street with big cigar in his pocket on which he has paid % threc-ccnt war 'aN, grab it and yell "Gcrmany" and your friend is out and you profit.
 We were telling this now game Co another writer che other day and he said. 70. suppose if you pass down thc street and see a pretty young girl. you grub her by Che arm and yell Germany? We said Sure, that is par. of the game and there is plenty of precedent; look ut Belgium"
