Life as a Trade.

Man has forgotten how to live. Life
should be an art, but has become a
trade. Men place emphasis. not upon
labor, but upon that which labor pro-
duces. And the trick is to acquire, by
hook and crook, the greatest compen-
sation for the least expenditure. And
instead of yielding the JOY. of creative
energy and the privilege of uninter-
rupted toll, life becomes a ceaseless
hubbub. For the meaning of life and
peace of soul can neither be bought
nor acquired by trickery, and all ones
gains become inadequate. And in
place OF happiness, men must content
themselves with diversion. = Mabel

TEXAS ONCE CANNlBAL HOME
University Man Finds Evidences Of
Depraved Prehistoric Race in
Southern State.

Evidence that Texas was inhabited
by a prehistoric people, different from
the Indian who roamed the plains
when the first white man came, has
been unearthed by James E. Pearce,
professor of anthropolegy of the Uni
versity of Texas. TIE early inhabi-
tants, he said, lived nomad-like ex-
istence, roaming from one part Of the
wilderness to another and killing, with
rude stone weapons, animals and even
humans for food.
Professor Pearce, who has been in
vestigating the mounds for more than
a year, reported: 'The life history of
these people has been read from the
reports they left in their burned rock
mounds or kitchen middens. These
mounds are piles of broken and
charred bits of limestone three or four
feet high and sometimes as long as
100 feet. They are made up of the
kitchen refuse of these prehistoric
peoples who had regular camp sites at
