Today Stone, Bronze, Iron. 3 Ages of Barbarism Ancient Cruelty. Some Tame News. By ARTHUR BRISBANE \__---' The front page of any news paper tells you where we are in civilization’s history—namely right at the beginning. A young girl in Maryland—-it might have happened in any other state—is mobbed, stripped naked, beaten by a crowd of 60, and set running through the country, cove ered with hot tar and feathers- A “matried lady” was jealous of her. They did not tar and feather the math The other day our vice consul, ImbHe, was murdered by religious fanatics in Persia. A young Per sian now stones the dead man’s widow. Perhaps he missed the original fun. The sympathetic Per sian. police did not interfere. Qreece notifies 60,000 Armenian refugees that they must get out to make room for Greek refugees driven home from Turkish terri tory. The Armenians have no where to go. Qjl the River Djosna, in Russia, bandits boarded a boat loaded with passengers, and organized a po grom, picking out the Jews, mur dering and throwing them over board. Fifteen bodies have been recovered. The bandits thought they were pleasing their Creator, and _ went aboiit their iVork with consciences as dear as those of the mediaeval judges that burned thousands of Jews and others alive, as a pleas 'ribpte to their creators. It} Poland, Stanislav Zbonski and his wife, Germanida, confessed 61 murders. He is 28, she 22. The couple, for excuse, say that mur iermg persons to rob them is their only way of making a living. Their first victim was her first husband. They waylaid travelers along the road, killing them with knives and revolvers. Interesting hunting. Once, Spartan youths were taugirt to ’ murder defenseless Helots in the same way, as part of a soldier’s education. There is progress. We leave murder now to private initiative. It is no part of any curriculum. All that is written above you read on one page of a newspaper, and there is more of the same stuff scattered through other pages.

One day when l wan reading the paper I saw the Lydia E. Pinkham’a veg etable Compound . , advertisement and saw what it did for other women, so I thought I would try it. I have taken three bottles, and cannot begin to tell you what it haa already done for me. I do all fny work now and keep up the whole day long without lying down. 1 have no mor# headaches nor tired feelings. 1 hope every woman who takes the Vegetable Compound will get aa much benefit out of it as I have.'’ — Mrs. Percy W Richardson, R.F.D No.2, Skowhegan, Maine. You have just read how Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound helped Mrs. Richardson. She gave It a trial after she saw what it had dona for other women. For nearly fifty years Lydia E.

Men had developed faint ideas of right and wrong. But while they had begun to leave their great for tunes to education and science in stead of seeking to bribe their deity and buy eternal bliss for their own worthless souls, they retained the worst feature of the earler bar barism. The discoveries of science in chemistry and psychics were used for war murder on a gigantic scale. The dregs of the race committed murder with their own hands. The so-called upper classes lived in shameful luxury, utterly indifferent to poverty, disease and ignorance around them. They even herded young children of the poor into fac tories and mills, grinding them into profits for their own use. On the whole, that culminating period of the iron age was inferior in dignity and decency to the stone age. Photographs of the two young Chicago murderers, smiling at sight of an iron bar used to kill a de fenseless boy, are hideous in their cold cruelity. Not insanity of a modern kind, but rather ancient, deadful cruelty is in those young faces with no trace of pity. It is to be remembered that such cruelty was once common every where among men. Torture of in nocent witnesses was defended as necessary by the “best men” as the only way of getting at the truth. Ninety-nine per cent of all sports, from Roman gladiator fights to British bull baiting and bear baiting, offered brutal cruelty as their charm. The human race has been fed on cruelty from the beginning wheth er you look into the history of Mexican Aztecs, with priests tear ing the heart from living human sacrifices, or more ancient religions, with fathers quite ready to cut the throat of a son, to gain their own salvation, you see fiend cruelty among the positive virtues. What wonder that it should survive in those young murdererg. The ques tion is, should they survive to per petuate their cruelty?

These were anxious days for Mrs Happy Jack Squirrel. She worried from the time she opened her eyes in the morning until Bhe closed them at night. Four frisky children art enough to worry any mother. Don't you think so? It was simply impos sible to keep those four little Happy Jacks inside the house. She would leave them in there to go to hunt for food, but the moment her back was turned out they would come. So she did her best to teach them as fast as she could the things it was necessary for them to know. They didn’t have to be taught to dig their little claws Into the bark. They did this as naturally as they "Sou must leave each other’9 tails alone," she dcelared. breathed. Of course, at first they re mained very close to the entrance, so tfyat they might scamper In every time they were frightened. This was very often. You see, everything was so new and strange that they didn't know what things to be afraid of and what not to be afraid of. So, often they were frightened when there was no cause for fright. One would be come frightened at something and scramble for the safety of the house. The others would scramble after him. But it wouldn't take them long to get over their fright, and they would be out again.

Whei she was with them she taught then In their play. They didn't know thej were being taught, but they were. Ir playing tag they learned how to dodgf around the trunk of a tree. Why they tried to catch their mother some how she always managed to keep th< tree between her and them. "No on* can catch you If you keep the trunt of a tree between you and the ont trying to catch you.” she explained And they soon found that this wat so. After that when they were play ing by themselves they would chast each other around and around the trunk of the tree. Sometimes one would get on ont side of the tree and one on the othei side of the tree, and the first one wolud try to catch the other one. The other one would dodge back ami forth, so as to keep the tree between them. Mrs. Happy Jack would nod her head in approval. “You'll find that a very useful trick one of these days," said she. • One day she discovered one of them teasing his sister by pulling her tall. She put a stop to that right away. “You must leave each other's tails alone,” she declared. “A good tall is very Important to a Squirrel. What ever you do, take care of your tails. A good tall may save your life some time.” “I don’t see what good a tall Is, ex cepting for looks,” whispered one little Squirrel to another. His mother overheard him. “Watch me,” said she sharply. She ran out along a branch and made a long leap from that branch to a branch of an other tree. Then she Jumped back again. “Without that big tali of mine I couldn't have made that long Jump,” said Bhe. Copyright. 1924.
