JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
I
At Ludlow, Mass., a young man
was glvon n gold watoh because ho
novor swore, smoked, or kissed a girl.
Hotting Is even In neighboring cities
that no women wore In on tbo gift.
It took Avlntor Rodgera 47 days,
to fly from New York to California,
but not onco did ho havo to Up u
sleeping car porter.
Tlio wlfo of tho "handsomest man
In tho world" Is suing for divorce.
News llko this makes us homely
ginks feci good.
If It Is not one dernod thing it Is
anether: turkeys are gottlng cheaper
and cranberries aro going up.
Election roports say Lima, Ohio,
olootod a man named Bean to tlio
city council.'
Thanksgiving.
I'm glad I'm not a rioh guy
IJut Just a common bloke,
A long ways off from Ensy street
And mighty near to broke.
A follow who has lots of coin,
So long as ho will spend.
Will never lack for company
And soldom havo a friend.
And all the capers that ho cut
Since he was but a child
Havo ralsod a chorus through the
laud,
"Ob, gracious, ain't ho wild?"
I'd rnthor bo a poor guy,
I'm (oiling you this straight,
A rioli man takes his lunch at noon
And dines at half past eight.
For wealth, I'm tolling you, my
friend,
j I have no fond doeiro;
I'm eithor happy 'cause I'm poor
Or olso a cheorful liar.

LONDON, Nov. 10. William Clnrk
Russell, author of itinunioniblo fas
cinating talus of tho pen, ono of Eng
land's foremost fiction writers, is
dead heor toduy, nftor an illno&s of
oijjht monthw. JIo wuh horn in Now

Among his works urn tho "IVrook of

mid "Tho Life of Nelson."
A PROGRESSIVE TRIUMPH.
I
I? THE elections this wook indicate anything, it. is tho;
triuiunh of in'oirrossivo measures and men, tho growth
pf non-partisanship,' the decay of partisanship, and tho
victory oC decency over corruption. '
In' tho cities of. tho country, local issues governed, cor
ruption was sorely smote and good government triumphed.
Now York rebuked Tammam, corrupt and contented
Philadelphia woke up and turned upon its political cor
rupt ionists, San Francisco repudiated a graft administra
tion, and Cincinnati overthrew its regime of crookedness,
despite Taft's personal ondoi'seinont, which he had tho
poor taste to offer.
Stand-patters, republican and democratic, combined
with political bosses and Wall street to injure AVoodrow
Wilson's chances for the presidency before tho country
at largo, by electing a hostile legislature in Now .Jersey.
But such tactics will only streinjihon him with tho people
of the nation and as New Jersey has the presidential pri
mary, "Wilson will havo, without question, New .Jersey's
delegation.
California recently answered President Taft's opposi
tion to the recall by adopting it b a majority of .12-1,300,
and both Arizona and Now Mexico showed their disap
proval of the executive by electing democratic governors
and insurgent legislature's. Ohio voted for tho initiative
and referendum.
Tn Massachusetts, Governor Fobs triumphed over a
coalition of big business, railroads, and politicians and
whilo the tariff was discussed, the result is an endorsement
of Foss as well as of tariff revision.
Where in tlio list is there any endoi-sement of the dry
rot of stand-pattism, or of a decadent partisanship, except
in Now Jersey? Groat gains were everywhere made by
socialists, and their progress helps to emphasize the un
rest and discontent of the people with reactionary govern
ment for special interests a hopeful sign of tho people's
awakening to the duties and responsibilities of citizenship.
OUR ANTEDELUVIAN ANCESTORS.
ACCORDING to deductions of modern archoologists,
in.-ni luis inliiihir.wl thn nnvfli fm- -ir ln;ir II 00(1 MOO
yeai, only a few thousand of which wo have any actual
record.
It is barely half a eenturv ago that the first fossil man
was found, so that our knowledge of paleolithic man is of
recent origin and as yet very incomplete.
The Oligoocne of Egypt has recently yielded a strange
anthropomorphous form, which its finder, M. Schlosser,
pronounces "ancestral not only for all the Seiniuids (true
apes) but presumably also of the Tlominids (ancestors of
man) " As the oligocene closed about 6,000,000 yeai-s ago
it is evident that human ancestry can lie traced back a.t
least this length of time. At this period, the face of the
earth was entirely different from what it is today. The
present mountain systems were unborn. Tropic vegeta
tion covered the temperate zones. Great seas flooded the
present continents.
The next fossil man found is the so-called apeman of
Java, discovered by Dubois and assigned to the end of the
Pliocene, or beginning of tho Pleistocene, before the Cas
cades began to rise from the sea. It is a question whether
it is an ape-like man or a man-like ape, so primitive in
character is it.
Following these ape-men, came the. Neandertal race,
which inhabited Europe for from 200,000 to 500,000 or
more years. The skulls show a brain capacity midway be
tween that of the man and the higher apes. The skeletons
are about the same average height, 5 feet 7 inches. Little
progress was evidently made by the race in this period.
At the close of the third ice invasion, late in the Gua
ternary, the Neandcrtalcrs were succeeded by a succession
of races, each of which were much more human, and left
works of primitive art. Many fossils exist of these races,
particularly of the Loess hunters, who were meat caters
and fed upon the wild horses then covering the plains.
Also the Grimaldians, whp left carved images of humans
resembling the modern Hottentots.
The Cro-magnonians, supposed to have been a cross
between the Loess hunters and Neandcrtalcrs, lived in the
last ice period, and were authors of the cave drawings of
mammoths, bisons and other animals of that time. From
all these races, modern man has evidently descended in
the process of evolution.
What a tiny speck of time is allotted to each of us in
the existence of humanity and "what a little s'pan in eter
nity is the life of the oldest nation 1
