Club, the cave man, hurried home
through the early dawn. Slung from
his shoulder were three large stones,
and on his face was an anxious gr|n.
At the door of the cave stood Bia, the
cave woman, a scowl of wrath In her
face, and a large, knotty club In her
hand.
Glub gulped when he saw her, and
hastily set the stones on the ground.
Grinning sheepishly, he approached
and struck her affectionately on the
side of the Jaw, following the blow
with a tug at her black hair. But
these blandishments were all lost on
Bia, the stony-hearted, who fixed him
In the eye with the largest knot on
the club.
“Have a heart, sweetie"—or words
to that effect—begged Glub.
At the sound of his voice, Bia broke
Into a prehistoric snuffle and removed
the club from her mate’s eye.
“Where have you been?” she sniffed.
"I'll bet I know. I’ll bet you've been
over with those nasty, lowdown tree
dwellers rolling bones till all hours,
with your wife and children waiting
for you and thinking you had been
run over by a glacier, and the best
Ichthyosaurus stew you ever saw go­
ing to waste. OI Boo I Hoo I"
Breaking into loud, paleolithic sobs,
Bia once more brought the club to
bear upon her spouse’s plthecanthropic
mnp. Glub was grieved and her re­
proaches made him feel guilty, so he
knocked her down apologetically and
confessed that she was right. He had
been rolling bones with Sweek, the
tree dweller.
“Yes,” howled Bia. "I know it. I
knew you were rolling bones. ’ A fine
thing for a man with a family to
gamble away all hfs good shells and
stones and even skins, when the chil­
dren have hardly a whole fig leaf to
their names, and the meat is so low
that unless you scare up a dinosaur
this very day we shall starve. Fine go­
ings on for a man with a family that
needs to be saving his strength to
go out and get meat for them and fig
leaves and skins to keep them warm I”
Glub was repentant.
"Bia,” he said. “I know ft was
wrong to gamble—very, very wrong—
but see what I won from Sweek, the
tree dweller. See the three hollow
stones filled with dinosaur meat and
Adam’s apples. ' Wah 1 What do you
think of your Glub now?”
Bln, In the transports of her 1oy
flung the duh Into the cave, and flung
herself upon Glub's neck, choking him
violently.
“My own Glub I" she cried. “Come
into the cave and have breakfast.”

BOUND TO GET THAT HAT
OLD WELL STILL PRODUCING
Hole Drilled for Oil In Pico Canyon,
California, Continuée to Pour
Forth Wealth.
The first known discovery of petro­
leum In California vias made In 1865,
by u Mexican hunter, who had followed
a deer trail to the head of Pico canyon
In Los Angeles county, near the pres­
ent town of Newhall.
He came upon a seepage of sticky
fluid that wns unknown to him.
Prompted by curiosity he collected a
small quantity of It and took It to the
mission settlement at San Fernando.
There a Doctor Gelsich, who had for­
merly resided In Pennsylvania, Identi­
fied It as [tetroleum and at once formed
a company and staked out claims. In
1870 a shallo,w well was drilled at the
head of Pico canyon, and is snld to have
produced at the time of drilling be­
tween 70 and 75 barrels of oil per
day.
About this time D. G. Scofield
formed what was known as the Cali­
fornia Star Oil company. Later the
Pacific Oil company was fortned, and
the two companies were operated un­
der the same management—C. A. Men-
try being field superintendent, and Mr.
Scofield, vice president and general
manager.
The old well today Is the property
of the Standard Oil company of Cal­
ifornia, and stands as the first and
oldest well In the state. It has never
been a prominent factor In California’s
petroleum Industry as It Is known to­
day, but while hundreds of wells since
drilled haven't even a derrick left to
mark their location. "No. 4," as it Is
known. Is still alive and still pro-
during.—Petroleum Record.
HISTORIC BERMUDAN CHURCH
st. Peter's Has Many Mementoes of
Interest to Both Englishmen
and Americans.
One of the most Interesting
churches to be found anywhere la old
St. Peter’s In Bermudu. It is in the
told town of St. George’s, and was
built in 1713 on the same site as the
first church, built In 1630. It Is built
of the native white limestone, as are
all the buildings In the Bermudas
and it shows the marks of time.
Everything in and about St. Peter's
Is intensely interesting. Its church­
yard contains, among others, the
grave of Hester Tucker, the “Nea” be­
loved of Thomas Moore, tile poet, who
was an official at St. George's at one
time, and promptly fell in love with
pretty Hester. Every square inch of
the ol(J church walls, inside, are cov­
ered with memorial tablets, many of
them being the work of famous Eng­
lish sculptors. Not a few of the tab­
lets perpetuate the memory of mem­
bers of the English nobility, and it
makes one realize what a scourge yel­
low fever and smallpox were before
science got in Its beneficent work, for
allusions to smallpox and yellow fever
being the cause of the deaths are very
numerous. St. Peter’s has a massive
silver communion service presented
by King William III of England, and
a christening basin, the gift of Gov.
William Browne of Salem, Mass., in
1788. The pieces presented by the
king all have the Insignia of the Or-
der of the Garter.

He came to Indianapolis on Sun­
day. He wore his light-blue Sunday
suit and his best SBnday hat. He had
been reading about the welcome home

see for himself. So when he landed
at the Traction Terminal station he
made a bee-line for Monument circle.
It was all as he had read. The Vic­
tory arch, the Greek pillars, all white
and clean, the staid old monument In

It lifted it high and
wafted It gently down Into the Monu­

dismay. The Sunday crowd grinned
and stayed to see the fun. He reap­

in the Monument fountain. He plunged
on. The hut was his again. He plant­

down the street.
ITS GLORY BUILT ON SAND
Once Famous Shrine in 1 the Kashmir
Valley, India, Today Pathet Io
in Its Decay.
Pnndrlnthan Is a deserted
crumbling temple in the pleasant
Kashmir valley In India. Its fate la
an example of the oblivion that come«
to those who worship false gods—
another proof of the fleeting glory of
kings who build unwisely.
Long ago I’audrlnthan stood In the
heart of a splendid city—the Srinagar
of history and story. A great king
built the temple walls and planted
the willow trees on the shores of the
lake. It was the court of Naga, the
snake god. Thousands of dark-faced
men and women crossed the tiny bit
of water to lay their offerings and
worship at the shrine.
The great king died a thousand
years ago and gradually his city has
crumbled Into dust. Its magnificence
Is gone. The tottering temple and the
willow trees are the only reminders
of the glory of ttje past.
The seene Is eloquent of a thousand
years of neglect. The waters of the
holy lake are stagnate and black with
slime. The ancient temple Is enten
with decay. The murmur of the wind
among the aged willows suggests the
echo of the chant the priests used to
drone before the altar. The stillness
•nd desolation remind one of the ad­
monition, “Let there be no other gods
before Me.”
True Happiness.
Edmund Burke said: “Taking the
whole view of life it Is more Bafe to
live under the Jurisdiction of severe
and steady reason tliun under the em­
pire of Indulgent but capricious fash­
ion.” It Is not likely that Burke’s
doctrine Is much followed In these
days of excitement and pleasure.
There Is a strong revolt against “se­
vere and steady reason” whenever
one looks about him. Pleasure seems
to be the dominant side In all the
activities which one encounters. Hap­
piness Is not understood and reully
It is the only good. A man who Is not
happy has gone astray; he Is not re­
ligious, nor educated, nor patriotic,
nor helpful to society. Ills body Is
taking a lonn Journey and leaving his
soul behind. A world of materialism
does not understand this. There fa
much regret behind our sensual Joys.
Burke understood this better than we
do. Lives are better built on the idea
he expresses.—Ohio State Journal.
