It has been known during a long time that in western Europe man ex- isted during the glacial epoch. We now know that the great ice age con- sisted of different glacial times sepa- rated by interglacial times. In glacial times the snow line dropped 3.000 or 4,000 feet below {its present level in the Alps, whereas in interglacial times it lay about 1,000 feet higher than at present. Thus the temperature seems to have been higher in the interglacial periods than it is now. There is abun dant evidence, in the opinion of Penck. that man existed during the beginning | of the last glacial epoch. There is gome reason for thinking that at least | 20,000, years have elapsed since the last glaciation and that the man whose jawbone was found in 1909 near Hei- delberg lived 200,000 years ago.—Scien- tific American Improving on Shakespeare. “In a Jacksonville court,” said a Florida congressman, “a lawyer quot- ed Shakespeare— Who steals my purse | steals trash’—to a deaf judge. “ ‘What'’s that?' the judge demanded. “{“Who steals my purse stealg trash,”’ the lawyer repeated. *** *T'was | something, nothing; ’'twas mine, ’tis ] his and has been slave” '— “‘Louder! I can't hear you! said the judge irritably. **“Who steals my purse,”’ repeated ing for his patrons the Gallarine Troupe, one of the big European musical novelties that are now tour- ing this country. There are four people in this troupe, two women and two men. The company is an exceptionally big one to book at the Brinkman Theater owing to the high price the performers demand, and the fact taht the seating capacity of the Brinkman does not generally guar- antee attractions of this standard. But Manager Brinkman determin- ed to secure the best vaudeville pos- sible for his patrons, has been mak- ing special efforts to have the first half of the week program of special strength and booked this attraction. It will be one of the biggest that has appeared at the theater. C. Varley will present a comedy act. Albert Wild, a mimic; a very fun- ny turn, which is billed to furnish plenty of laughs added to the three big vaudeville acts, will be a pro- gram of the high class Brinkman photo plays, assisted by the Brink- man orchestra. Manager Brinkman is now arranging for the last half of Xmas week. Watch for this ad. Prices remain the same; no extra charges. Fact or Fiction? ‘“The trouble with these literary clubs,” sald a captious crite, “is that they always degenerate into meetings for the exchange of gossip.” ‘“Prue enough,” replied an enthuei- astic member, “but how can you ex- pect: anything else when facts are so much stranger than fiction?’ A Gentle Reminder. John—I understand Dashleigh's un- cle has died. leaving him a fortune. Tom—Yes; he has recelved a great many congratulations. Why, even his tatlor sent him a bunch of forgetme- nots yesterday.—London Mail the unfortunate lawyer, * “'steals trasb. ‘Twas” '— “‘Can’t you speak up? growled the deaf judge. “At this point the crier thought it time to interfere. He bent over the judge and shouted in his ear: “‘He just says, sir, that anybody | what steals his pocketbook qu't get nothing.” Cromwell and the Specter. The stories of the *“white lady” that periodically visits the German royal family and of the “little red man" that frequently paid his respects to the great Napoleon are tolerably well known, especially that of the former. But few perhaps are familiar with the story of Cromwell's “giant specter.” It appeared to him one night when he was wide awake and quietly resting | on his couch. In appearance the ap- parition was a woman of gigantic pro- portions. Approaching him, she ap- nounced in tones like thunder, “With in the year you. my son. will be recog- nized as the greatest man in Britain.” Insects That Use Rubber. When para trees are tapped after the gum has run into receptacles and stiffened a species of large black ant is accustomed to cut out pieces of the rubber and carry them away. Bees also find uses for india rubber, and some species in South America actually cut the bark of trees that produce resi- nous substances In-order to cause a flow of the sap. The gum is employed by the bees as a ready made wax for their nests.—Harper's Weekly, is Ways. “My husband.” sobbed Mrs. Frivol. “is the most, contrary kind of a man.” “How s0?" asked her sympathetic friend. “Why, every time,” responded the aggrieved wife, “that I begin dressing op be is sure to give me a dressing down.”—Baltimore American. Hidden Danger. Owner—How did you come to punc- turé the tire? Chauffeur—Ran over a milk bottle. Owuner- Didn’t you see #t in time? Chauffeur No: the kid Rad it under his coat.—Town Topics. Gautier's Su;’un!itlon.' and poet, like many another great 'man, was superstitious and belleved in the evil eye. Offenbach was his aversion, and in this respect a Paris contemporary tells us that one day the son and father were walking together. The son, for wickedness’ sake, start ed a conversation about Offenbach, and his father gave him to understand that the subject was disagreeable. Noth- ing daunted, the lad led Gautier to a shop window where was exposed a photograph of the composer. As they resumed their walk the son observed, “Well, you see, father, after all, nothing has happened through looking at the photograph.” At that moment they were turning the corner, and the son preceded his father. In full view of the passersby Gautler ad- minjstered to his tormentor a paternalt kick, observing, half in anger and half in humor, “Well, something has hap- pened.” Tight Collars. ‘Writing in the Hospital, London, Dr. ‘Walford warns everybody against tight collars. He considers it remarkable that no one seems to have noticed or, at any rate, to have laid great stress on the fact that such slight obstacles to the free circulation of the blood through the vessels of the brain may adversely influence the health of those who are in the habit of wearing tight- 1y fitting neckcloths, “The fact ap- pears to be well known to veterinary surgeons, who tell us that neck con- striction through badly fitting harness is a causative factor in ‘staggers’ in horses,” says the writer. It seems to be equally well known that dogs suf- for a great deal through having to wear tightly fitting collars. Is it too much, then, Dr. Walford asks, to argue that those of us who wear our own collars too tightly buttoned may find in that practice some explanation of symptoms ascribed to other causes? Tiny Republics. Kileln-Alp i a diminutive republic tucked away between Switzerland and ‘Francé. Only in summer is the re public inbabited and them by miners !ud cowglrls, There is one hotel, closed during the winter. Another little re- public is in Tyrol, between Austria and Italy, and in long gone years was under the juriediction of first a king jand then an emperor. But in the ad- justment of frontler lines the state of Val di Ventino was in some way over- looked, and it promptly organized it self into a lilliputian republic. It has now about 2,000 inhabitants living in six villages. Neither Val d1 Ventino {nor Klein-Alp has any taxes. There !are no officials or compulsory military ! services. The only industry of Val di Ventino, aside from the farming of i small fields, is charcoal burning. His Tribute of Respect. The freckle faced boy who was about to be emancipated from high 1 school thraldom was writing his grad- iuafing essay. i “I'suppose I ought to wind it up,” he | reflected, ‘“‘with something touching and sentimental about the leather | headed. snub nosed, squeaky voiced, | conceited old spoozer that rums the | shebang.” { Thereupon he wrote, “And now, our idear and honored principal, we turn ! to you,” etc.—Chicago Tribune. i The Translation. 1 Toole. the great English comedian, fwas once greatly tickled at finding in a French provincial town a poster an- ,nouncing a translation of “Walker, ! London,” the farce which he himself :had made famous. The adapter had translated the title as “‘Londres qui se promene,” or “Londen which goes out | for walks.” H i A Dream of a Hat. She—I dreawed last night you bought me a new hat. He—Well, that's the | first dream of a bat you ever had that f 4idn't cost me money.—Club Fellow. { | y V o/ Specials Civilizing the“fridian: The following is from ‘“The Soul of the Indian,” a book by Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman, himself an Indian: “Long before 1 ever heard of Christ or saw a white man I had learned from an untutored woman the essence of morality. With the help of dear na- ture herself she taught me things sim- ply but of mighty import. I knew God. I perceived what goodness is. 1 saw and loved what is really beautiful. Civ- flization has not taught me anything better. As a child I understood how to give. 1 bave forgotten that grace since I became civilized. I lived the naturai life, whereas 1 now live the artificial. Any pretty pebble was valuable to me then, every growing thing an object of reverence. Now I worship with the white man before a painted landscape ‘whose value is painted in dollars. Thus the Indian is reconstructed, as the nat- ural rocks are ground to powder and made into artificial blocks which may be built into the walls of modern soci- ety.” Light Men. At a certain hotel in Liverpool an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were arguing as to which of their respective countries had the lightest men. The Irishman led the argument by saying: “We have men of Cork!” “That may be,” said the Scotsman: “but we have men of Ayr.” “Well,” said the cockney, “that is very light, but we have ‘lighter’ men on the Thames.” TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tab- lets.
