arms. These clubs were shapeless
limbs of trees, picked from the
ground in forests dense; there were
no guns or snickersnees or other
weapons of offense. And when a
man went forth to slay an OK or
bear for his repast, he had to pound
away all day, before the critter
breathed its last 1t took long hours

SO big it gives me fantods, even now.
But 10. a great idea strikes the
leader OF savage clan. and in his
club he places spikes, this scientist,
this superman. He goes a-hunting
with a smile, and with one Blow. of
proper zest, he slays the roaring
crocodile, or knocks the warthog

foolish dubs knocked his invention
as shame. and piled their shape
