Yon almost had convinced us that we were sprung from apes; but William cries, "Men do not rise from such unseemly shapes." You bunked us, Father Darwin, you led us all to think that if we'd seek, week jiftcr week, we'd find the Hissing Link. You dug up skulls and shinbones of monkey and of man, and cried, full tilt, that they were built upon the same old plan. Anil , we as marks were easy, we 'fell for this cheap plant, absorbed your bunk, and thought the monk might well ha niece or aunt. I watched the fierce gorilla and thought my great-grand-dad, on some past day roared just that way, and doubtless looked as bad. 1 often paused to picture my forbears in tho trees; they warbled tunes with cheap baboons and tinhorn chimpanzees. And, think ing I was humbled, for no man can be proud, if he can trace his tribe or race to such a measly crowd. l!ut William J. has sarml us, restored our self-respect; our pedigree is fine to see, and everything's 'correct. So Farewell, Father Darwin! You put your graft across; you've had your day, now William J. shows you're a total loss.
