MAN THF GREATEST
THING ON EARTH
Unknown to Biology Be
cause He is So Far
Above AH
Tbere is a profouoa reason for
Mau'e exceptlo ial reiatiou to all liv
inn Nature, which is tbla, that roao
is unknown to biology because be
is so far above it. All biology knows
la tbe an'niNl homo, about whom It
explains so much that many are da
ceived into eopposiuK that Homo Ha
pten can nl so be explulued by It,
wheri'tiH be la wholly unaccountable
and inexplicable by blolouy, with uo
1 bint to bia coining anywhere in the
1 lou series nf animals endhiK with the
apes. How could KBolnyy, for exam-
!i1h, fort'shadow au earthy belu w ho
cau turn to a true menial servant
tbiit which in Nature causes thunder
to peal so itrandly, and bid it warm
'and 1 Ik lit bis bod room, cook ain'
1 wseb for li i in. and curry his uiessaies
1 to the end of thlf earth faster than it
can revolve or tbe sun travel through
space? He also who can talk Heroes
oceans with notbipu which can be
seen or handled, by means of that
Komcthlntf which prevades all wpaoe
Is simply above Nature and truly na
tural, beoause he is not like anythius
which Nature aver hue seen or ku.owu.
Mao Is greater thau tbe ether, be
cause the user Is ureater than tbe
thinu used i aud there can be uo
doubt that eventually ba will make
tbe ether obey bini as iaiplW'ity as
now be makes electricity nfiey-blm.

Merry Christmas to All
Christmas
Long Ago
By FRANK ti. SWEET.
(Copyright. M. by Anicrlcan Press Asso
ciation.) A GOOD old fashioned Chrii'mas
with the log npoa ' the
t hearth.
The table filled with feasten an' the
room a-roar with mirth,
With the ttockin's crammed to bust
in an' the medderi piled wit i
snow
A. good old fashioned Chrii'maj like
we had so long ago!
Now that's the thing I'd like t see
ag'in afore I die,
But Cnris'mas in the city here it's
different, oh, my!
With the crowded hustle-'justle of
the slushy, noisy street
An' the scowl upon the faces of the
strangers that you meet.
Oh, there's buyin', plenty of it, of a
lot of gorgeous toys.
An' it takes a mint of money to
please modern girls an' boys.
Why, I mind the time a jackknife
an' a tffy lump for me
Hade my little heart an' stockin
. jnst ohock full of Chris'mas glee.
An there's feastin', Think o' feedin'
with these stuok up city folk!
Why, you have to speak in whispers,
an' you dar'sn't crack a joke.
Then remember how the tables look-
ed all crowded with your kin,
When you couldn't hear a whistle
blow across the merry din.
m Parrtv Crf. J Wi
Ton see, I'm so old fachioned-like I
don't care mcch for style.
An' to eat your Chris'mes banqcef
here I wouldn't go a mile.
I'd rather have, li'i SIonson. e
good yarb dinner tet
With real old friends' thaa tnrt'e
! soup with all the nobs you'd get
i There's my next doer nji-r'-ibT. Gur
ley fancy how his bro-vs Vc"
lift
If I'd holler: "Merry ChriVma?!
Caught, old fellow! Chris'mas
gift!"
Lordy sakes, I'd like to try it!
Guess he'd nearly have a fit.
' Hang this city stiffness, anyways!
I I can't get used to it.
Then your heart it keeps a-swellin'
till it nearly busts your side,
An by night your jaws are achin'
with your smile four inches
wide,
An' your enemy, the worst one,
you'd just grab his hand an' say:
"Mebbe both of us was wrong, John.
Come, let's shake. It's Chris'mas
day."
Mighty little Chris'mas spirit seems
to dwell 'tween city walls,
Where each rnowflake brings a soot
flake for a brother as it falls
Mighty little Chris'mas spirit, an'
I'm pinin', don't yon know,
For a good old fashioned Chris'mas
like we had so long ago.

It's absence of the presents
That I, ot all, moat fear."
