Food Refuse Clue to Caveren.

Food Refuse Clue to Cavemen.
1t cavemen had not been 50 accom-.
modating as to leave their remains in
caves, we should be without clues re-
gardtng the human Inhabitants of Eu-
rope thousands Of years ago. Marett,
the anthropologist, tells Of a cave in
Jersey, near the Bay Of st. Brelaide,
where scientists dug down through
some 20 feet Of clay and rock rubbish,
probably carried there in the course Of
the last Ice age that mantled Europe,
and discovered a prehistoric hearth
with the large stones that had propped
up the fire, and even some Of the ashes.
Bones were found in a heap Of food
refuse, which, when examined, proved
to be the remains Of the wooly rhinoc-
eros, the reindeer, two kinds Of
horses, of wild OK and of a deer.
Thirteen human teeth were found in
the food-heap. The diners had also
left their knives-finr clipped on one
side.

The Black Wall

When first 1 knew my death was at
hand I stood facing the blank, black
wall; sobbing 1 hammered at it and
set teeth and clenched fist attempting
to knock it down. To my vain and
tired effort 1t seemed but to increase
in gloom and immortality, until my
tear-dimmed eye perceived intrenched
there not only the lawful strength of
immutable death, but greediness for
it's prey, the longing to crush me at
once, even before my time. Then I
revolted against so much unnecessary
cruelty and turned from it in disgust
1 vowed that wall should not crush
me. Bad enough to die at my age!
While life is mine I mean to live

The Eternal. Feminine,

Occasionally some one breaks into
print with the complaint that we are
getting "too much girl on our mag
agine covers. Old stuff! Read this
from Wilkie Collins MAN and Wife"
written in 1873; "One popular type of
beauty proclaims itself, in it's fullest
material development, at every shop
in which an illustrated periodical is
sold. The same f1eshy-faced girl. with
the same inane smile, and with no
other expression whatever, appears
under every form Of Illustration, week
after week and month after month,
all the year round -Boston Tran
script.

some like my brothers2!' replied the
Leaf. II am not large and green as
they are. 1 am small and am turning
brown before my time"
"Oh, but you look beautiful to me-
replied the Flower. "You are nearer
TO me than your brothers. Why l do
believe you are going to drop off, and
ii you do you will drop right down be-
side me-"
- IF can do that I shall never be
sorry that I did not grow strong and
handsome like the other leaves" said
the Leaf. II have wondered for a
long time what would become Of me
If dropped down there, where before
met you it looked so dreary.''
before the two little friends could
say more along came breeze and
snapped off the last link that held the
Leaf on the branch and down it
dropped close beside the Purple
Flower.
There it lay close to her and on
emily nights or when it rained Leaf
covered the Flower and kept her COM
Portable.
Purple Flower grew strong and beau
tlful, and though Leaf grew brown and
Wlthered, it knew nothing about it..
for did not Purple Flower tell him
each day he was: the most beautiful
leaf in the world? And she thought he
was because of his great love for her.
The strong green leaves on the tree
over them looked down and smiled
scornrully at the brown Leaf snuggled
close to his sweetheart, but the green
leaves knew nothing Of the joy Of a
great love nor did they know that
beauty that the eye can see is not to
De compared to that. Of beautiful
soul.
And so, when the cold days came
and winter with his soft white blanket
covered the lovers expect they silent
until Miss Spring came ana awakened
them and there, no doubt, she found
the Leaf 8 close beside the pretty Purple
Flower. 800 "a - 3.

LOVE OF BROWN LEAF

0NCE on a low branch of a tree in
the woods hung leaf. It had not
thrived as did it's brothers, and 50 it
grew to be very lonely and sad.
One day it was swinging in the wind
when it heard sob right under it,
and looking it saw a purple flower
growing there.
"Why are. you so sad?" asked the
leaf, forgetting it's own troubles.
You are so pretty and sweet to look
upon that you should not cry"
II am alone" answered Purple
Flower. Some one came along and

Wood that will not burn Is, Of
course, much-to-be-desired thing. It
is reported that not long ago there
was tested on considerable scale in
England an American invention for
making wood non-irfammable. 1t ap-
pears that the sap is first withdrawn
from the wood by evaporation in
heated vacuum chambers. Then fire.
prooing solution is forced into the
pores of the timber under hydraulic
pressure. It is said that wood thus
treated resists decay as well as fire. =

ADMITS HE HAS FOUR WIVES
Kansan Also Says He's Served Term
In Missouri Penitentiary
for 1igamy.

Emporia, Kan.-Four wives were
too much for d. e. Waller, alias Davis
Walton, under arrest here on a charge
Of disturbing the peace. Waller has
confessed having four wives living
and one dead, according to local po-
lice. A quarrel with wife No. 2 led
to Walters arrest
According to Walters alleged con-
fession his first wife Is dead. The
second, third, fourth and fifth wives,
all living, he married in Missouri.
Wives No. 3 and now live in Mis-
souri,, while the second and fifth live
here. 1t was while Waller was at
tempting to leave Emporia with wife
No. 5 that his legal wife interfered,
firing one shot at him, according to
police. His arrest followed. The po-
lice said Waller admitted having
served a term in the Missouri peni-

Heenan altered his plans, taking the
prisoner through to Gregory.
A crowd stormed the train at Spen-
Ger and again at Anoka and Fairfax
and searched the coaches for the pris-
oner, but the sheriffs ruse Of having
Simmons secreted in trunk was sue
cessful.
Paul, an automobile dealer here,
was murdered and his body pitched
over a bridge into a creek, near Bris-
low, according to the verdict Of the
cOroner's jury. The body was found
by one of several posses that had been
securing the territory for two days.
Simmons is said to have admitted
to officers that he abandoned Paul's
automobile near Spencer, Neb., where
a searching party found 1t, blood
stained.
He denies all knowledge of the man
ner in which Paul met his death.

The child's story didn't sound right
to Mother" McCrea. It was too con

Easter before they made such ridic

their approval. They were deter

them he saved the girl from injury
by catching her in his arms. They
turned deaf ears to him. Mrs. Carl.

Of violence. The child merely insisted
that the pastor hugged her.
