IMITATING THEIR ANCESTORS.

Cleveland. It is from our remotest
ancestors that we get many of our
habits. Mankind's 1 1-11 ke of dark
ness is as old as he is himself. All
children fenr the dark and few grown
ups are quite at their ease In it.
Scientist trace stage fright back
to the days when to be conspicuous
meant to invite attack from more
powerful animals. And the shyness
Home people have about crossing a
large room when other people are
present i another inheritance from
our primitive ancestors. In the for
ests ,it was only the biggest and
strongest animals, such as the bear,
the elephant and the mastodon, who
dared to walk straight across the wide
open space. The others preferred, for
safety's sake, to sidle or slink around
the edges.
Sclent 'st declare that the paraly
sis that a sudden fright Is apt to
cause la a trick we learned In our
wilder dnys, nnd exactly corresponds
to the death-shamming that some an
imals are so adept In. The weaker
anlma's learned ages ago that a mov
ing object is much less likely to es
cape the notice of a prowling enemy
than the one that stays motionless.
Do you like shaking hands? Many
old people do not, and avoid the
ceremony as much as possible. It is
the old, animal dislike of being touch
ed. The ordinary house dog is so civ
ilized that it likes being petted, but
take any wild or half-wild animal,
such as an Eskimo dog, a touch will
make It spring yards away, or bury
its fangs into the intruding hand.
All of us overcome this dislike in
the case of our Intimate friends, but
there are many people who, if their
hands are touched accidentally In a
crowd by a stranger, stealthily wipe
them.
The dream that everybody has had
that of falling and being brought up
w-lth a Jerk is a dream that always
brings the dreamer awake with a
start. Psychological science declares
It Is probably the very oldest memory
of the human race going back, In
deed, to the days when our apelike an
cestors lived and slept In trees

An Infant Tliat Kronen Wraith and

Scranton, Pa. When the stork
dropped Into town on his usual rounds
it called at the home of Charles R.
Connell, nephew of former Congress
man William Connell, and now Scran
ton is boasting of a "half-milllon-dol-lar
baby," while the boy's mother is
proudly displaying Its charms to her
fr'ends and at the same time showing
a $10,000 diamond sunburst, the gift
of the proud father.
Under the will of the baby's grand
father It was provided that if Its fath
er died without Issue the estate was
to go to the children of the former
congressman, and Inasmuch as Mr.
and Mrs. Connell had been married
eight years without their un'on bless
ed by chMdren, it began to look very
much as If the behest of the will would
stand. The arrival of the baby, how
ever, set aside thi provision of the
will and the J500.000 will now remain
'n the other branch of the family, no
provision having been made by the
decedent for its conversion In the
event of the child's not living.

250 SWAINS
BKG OF 230 WIDOWS
Cupidity" of Bachelors' Club Is
ljirtrest lit Matrimonial History.
Santa Monica, Calif. Constituting
what is said to be the largest matri
monial offer in history, members of
the Oatman Bachelors' Association of
Oatmnn, Ariz, have proposed to 250
widows of Santa Monica.
The offer is official, coming in the
form of a letter to Chief of Police
Barre'.to and being signed by sixteen
directors of the bachelors' organiza
tion. As the widows hold the balance
of power in the city election of De
cember 6 however, all steps toward
a reply to the gigantic proposal e'th
er Jointly or severally, will bp post
poned until after that date, as the
widows are needed to vote here then.
The letter to Barretto, after stat
ing that a newspaper account of the
political power held by the widows of
Santa Monica had reached Oatman,
cont'nued:
"We have an equal number of
bachelors here, ranging in age from
20 to 41 years We also have a
bachelors' association. If you could
find It convenient to communicate
with some of those fair widows and
notify them of our Intentions, should
they Intend to get married, we are
convinced they would have no trou
ble In getting husbands."
Then follows a long list of the
bachelors' names and descriptions,
such as. "Andy Porter, 29 years old,
six feet one Inch tall and 220 pounds
heavy.'' The letter concludes:
"These names are only a small
margin compared with the great
number of bachelors employed at the
Tom Reed mining camp. We would
suggest that you try to find us life
partners." '

and I will be. the victim." said Bell. 1
After the friends left Mrs. Bell says

sure sign of death. Mrs. Bell arose
and left her husbaNd in bod. Soon af
