II, GOOD BY, Father Darwin! You seemed a wise old
chap; you had your day, now William J. has wiped you off
the map. 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

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.
