HAPPENED IN THE STONE AGE
Beautiful Love Story Of How Cave
Man Showed His Great Devotion
for His Mate.

through the early dawn. Slung from
his shoulder were three large stones,
and on his face was an anxious grin.
At the door of the ave stood Bla, the
cave woman, a scovi Of wrath In her
face. and a large. knotty club in her
hand.
Club gulped when he saw her, and
hastily set the stones on the ground.
Grinning sheepishly. he approached
and struck her afectionately On the
side Of the jaw, following the blow
with a tug at her black hair. But
these Establishments were all lost on
Bla, the stony-hearted. who fixed him

the club.

At the sound Of his voice, Bla broke
into a prehistoric shuttle and removed
the club from her mates eye.
where have you been?" she shifted.
"I1l bet l know. I'll bet you've been
over with those nasty. lowdown tree
jewellers rolling bones till all hours,
with your wife and children waiting
for you and thinking you had been
run over by a glacier, and the best
ichthyosaurus stew you ever saw 60
ing to waste. o. Booi Noi"
Breaking into loud, pa 81. chic sobs,
Bla once more brought the club to
bear upon her spouse's pithecanthropic
map. Club was grieved and her re-
proaches made him feel guilty. so he
knocked her down apologetically and
confessed that she was right. He had
been rolling bones with Sweek, the
tree dweller.
"Yes," howled Bla. 81 know 1t. j
knew you we're rolling bones. A fine
thing for a man with a family to
gamble away all his good shells and
stones and even skins, when the chill
dren have hardly a whole fig leaf to

that unless you scare up a dinosaur
this very day we shall starve. Fine go

Club was repentant.
"Bla," he said. IT know It was
wrong to gamble-very, very wrong
but see what I won from Sweek, the
tree dweller. See the three hollow
stones filled with dinosaur meat and
Adams apples. Wahl What do you

Bla, in the transports of her JOY

Sir Douglas Haig's Popularity.

The prime factor in Sir Douglas
Haig's great popularity among the
British armies was undoubtedly the
interest he always showed in the boy
soldiers. During the many inspections
In France 1t was the invariable prac-
tice of nearly all generals-Kitchener
and French included-to hurry along
the ranks until they came to the old
soldiers with the rows Of campaign
ribbons on their breasts. Sir Douglas
Haig always singled u the youngest
boys for his attention. You could see
them flush and stammer and straight
en- up with pride at being noticed by
the commander in chief. Nor did he
ever omit In these early days his spe-
cial word of thanks "to all those who
have left their benches. shops, and
Offices to help us professional soldiers
to see it through"

Speaking of the wonderful country
in which we live Mr.. Lyon quoted
some figures which show the great
wealth of America and of the neces-
sity for this country to loan money
to the European powers in order
that they in u might pay the in
terest on their debts to h United
States. The speaker told of the in
creasing desire to save money being
shown in the banks, not only through

alliances of which so much is said
in these days, former Judge Lyon de-
clared we are already allied to these
countries by the loans which we have
made to them and r interested in
their business as their success will
mean the payment to us of what is
