MERELY "0LD MAN JONES"

Newspaper Writer.

Maybe you didn't know Old Man
last week. and there was a piece about
him in the paper. The piece was four
lines long and 1t was on the thirty
sixth page of the paper in the lower
right-hand corner under an advertise
ment about soap or something.
Maybe you didn't see the piece In
the paper. No? Well. 1t Is no wonder.
There Is so much IN the papers, and
old Jones didn't amount to anything,
anyway. AT least, he was of no i'm
portance. You could not expect the
paper to give him any more room when
he died. That same day there was a
big scandal in high society. there was
a revolution in Germany, seven people
were caught drinking liquor. movie
swamp" said her diamonds were stolen,
and lot Of other very important
things happened. Old Jones was lucky
to get even those four lines In the last
hidden corner of the last page.
And. besides all that, we are very
sure that old Jones didn't and wouldn't
give whOop II the paper never even
mentioned that he was dead. He had
left the country and was In another
country far more to his liking. He
was with Socrates and Homer and the
old gods and fighting men that he
knew and loved in greasy books that
he found In cheap secondhand stores
and garbage cans where they had been
discarded.
Many sunny hour have we spent
with old Jones, learning from him
things we never knew before. For so
years he had read hooks that opened
up Paradise to him. His life was
spent happily. Death meant to him
merely another journey which. at the
last, he was eager to take. Fe was
very wise and always very kind, and
usually poor.
Now. he Is with 10000 yesterdays
and as quickly forgotten as though he
had been a king or a millionaire.
Good-by. old Jones. Give our kind
est regards to Socrates and all the
other fellows out Epnder in the Shad-

First Needles Primitive

The earliest needles known in his
tory did not have eyes. but were like
avis and were used for making holes
in skins, through which long roots of
plants or leather thongs were passed
and then tied. Later a hole was
bored through one end of the stone
or bronze needle. through which the
root or leather was passed, and thus
dragged through the hides as punched.
Such needles are found in the remains
OF the stone age. Bone needles with
GyeS are found in the reindeer caves
of France and lake dwellings of CEN
