THROUGH EYES OF cEoL OGlsT
Man of Science Sees Mother Earth
/ as Many Hundred Millions OF
Years Old.

The geologist supposes that 1t took
from sixty to three hundred millions
of years for the earth's crust to as
sumo its present appearance, and cal
culates that from the time when the
first rudimentary form Of life appeared
there have been IL important geologic
periods of the advancement Of life,
the last of them being the Quarter
nary or Post-Tertiary, when mankind
appeared. The first part Of this POST
Tertiary age or period when man exist
ed Is called the PleistOcene. At that
time beds Of drift gravel were deposited
In which have been found flint hatchets
and other implements, apparently mace
by men. Primitive man Is also knowa
as Paleolithic, and the age in which
he lived Is often called the Old Stone
age. Some authorities, however. BE-
lieve that primitive man existed be-
fore Paleolithic man, but left no traces
of his existence. He probably gained
his food through hunting. wandering
along the river valleys-and then later
took to cave dwelling. Rude drawings
have been found in caves. the work
of the "cave man." The flint weapons
gradually improved, the cave man be-
came a better artist. he domesticated
animals and cultivated the soil. In this
period, which Is called the New Stone
age. man is known as NeOlithic man.
Then came the Bronze age, when
bronze took the place Of flint; after
that the Iron age and the Age Of His

Man, SMALL MANI.
Feminine Poll Clerk Learns All
About Him.
No Longer Can She Be Convinced Of
the Superiority Of the So-Called
Sterner Sex.

The amateur poll clerk, who was
likewise an ardent feminist, returned
to her home on election night tired,
but aflutter with excitement as re-
suit Of her first attempt at checking
prospective voters. AS she entered
the house the first persons to greet her
We're her brother and her fiance, both
of whom had the obnoxious habit OF
poking fun at her efforts to uphold the
dignity of her sex.
You will rant to me about the su-
periOrity of man. will your" she dc,
handed militantly, according to the
New York Sun. well, let me tell You
that it takes day at the polls to
prove what's what Until now I've
had to submit to your insults because
l had no way to prove my point, but
now l know all about you great big
splendid men. Don't you ever dare to
tell me again that women aren't the
equal Of men in every way or that you
are any more competent to run the
country than we are"
As she paused moment for breath
her dual audience seized the OppOr-
tunity to get word In edgewise and
demanded, as one man, to be told the
reason for this unexpected TRADE.
I'll tell you all about It," she re-
piled. You know that the law, since
women have won the vote, has been
: remodeled so that voters in stating
their ages need say nothing more than
Over thirty. That, according to you
men, is permitted out of Difference to
a silly old superstition that we women
dislike to tell our ages. Ha ha!
Zone of the first voters today was
old Mr.. Jones. He's so old he needs a
companion to guide him about the
street. When I asked him his age he
said Over thirty and he has been that
for the last fifty years at least.
Then, a little later, young Jack
Mersereau came in. Every one knows
this is only his second vote, yet he had
the unprecedented nerve to stand
there and tell me he was over thirty.
There's your male supremacy. All he
wanted was to have me go out and tell
the girls he is over thirty, l suppose, so
that he can pose as a blase man about
town,
"Why, there were just as many men
as women who refused to state their
true ages. Whatever their reasons
might be, I'm sure could never guess.
Now, with women it's different. They
must always seem to be young or else
they will lose out in the social world
and be regarded as old dowagers, to be
Stunned by all the younger set"
With total disregard Of the mascu-
line grin Occasioned by this explana-
ton the amateur poll clerk continued,
her ardor unchecked:
at would be different, of course, If
the men had any real reason for want
ing to conceal their ages, but under
the circumstances it seems to me that
such actions betoken an exceedingly
low rate of intelligence"
Then, without giving her audience a
chance to come to it's own support, she
ran up the stairs to her room to make
a quick change before dinner

Gan Ounce Of Prevention is Worth a
Pound of Cure"

A disturbance Of the even balance of
health, which often occurs in these try

serious trouble. Nobody can be too
careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite,
or to get tired easily, the least i'm
prudence brings on sickness, weakness,
or debility. The system needs tonic.
Graves it, and should not be denied iii;
and the best tonic that many people
recommend is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
What this medicine has done in keep
ing healthy people healthy, in keeping
UP the even balance of health, gives it
the same distinction as preventive
that it. enjoys as a cure. It's early use
has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that "a stitch in time saves
nine"
Preventive treatment now and then
calls for the use of a good cathartic or
laxative, like Hoods Pills, which are
purely vegetable and act quickly and

THE MIRACLE OF SPRING.


(Alice Amelia Flagg)
After the dead leaves falling,
After the winters snow,
After the March winds blowing,
Deep in the sod below
Things that in sleep were dreaming,
Seeds of life now past
Stir with a life renewing
Under the stormy blast
God, overhead, is keeping
Always His watchful care
And never a springtime faileth
Its blossoms of incense rare.
The bitter within the tree trunks
Is sweetening under the sun,
And under the lash of the north wind
Upward life forces run.
God knows it will soon be summer
He knows that the winter is gone,
That His smile will melt the snow
drifts
For the flowers to feast upon.
And he that is faint and weary
And he who is winterworn
Nav know that His south wind blow
eth
The cold from His Easter Morn.
