That man of us who seizes upon the salient facts of our life, who tells what we thought, what we were, and for what we stood that man shall be the mouthpiece to the centuries, and so long as they listen he shall endure. We remember the caveman. We remember him because he made his century imperishable.
It must be remembered that the instances given are instances only, but they can be multiplied myriads of times. It must also be remembered that what is true of the United States is true of all the civilized world. Such misery was not true of the caveman. Then what has happened? Has the hostile environment of the caveman grown more hostile for his descendants?
Watching the girl's eyes, wonderful with their changes of thought, listening to her attempts to explain what it was evident she did not understand, Madeline gathered that if ever a caveman had taken unto himself a wife, if ever a barbarian had carried off a Sabine woman, then Ambrose Mills had acted with the violence of such ancient forebears.
So it must have appeared, and there is no age in history in which some dreamers have not dreamed of the conquest of the air; if the caveman had left records, these would without doubt have showed that he, too, dreamed this dream.
Letting 'em have their own way would seem like neglect and indifference, and their hearts would be broken. They eat it up, sis, eat it up, that kind of love!" His sister leaped from her chair. "How anybody with an ounce of brains can take stock in this caveman nonsense is more than I can understand!" "It has nothing to do with brains, sis! It's in here!" He tapped his finger on his breast.
"Say, Miss Nash, I did get you this time." "Oh, don't tell me that my presiding goddessship is over already." "Uh sure! Now I'm going to be a cruel boss." "Dee-lighted! Are you going to be a caveman?" "I'm sorry. I don't quite get you on that." "That's too bad, isn't it. I think I'd rather like to meet a caveman." "Oh say, I know about that caveman Jack London's guys. I'm afraid I ain't one.
Heading the dreary marches through dark ages; Where the rest perished that the rest might be, Out of the aeons raw and red of bloodshed, Man that was caveman, found the stars. Forever Man to the stars goes marching from the sea. His poem Central, in which the telephone girl's work is interpreted, is as typical as any of Mr.
Wonderful artifices have been made, and marvellous inventions, all tending to increase tremendously man's natural efficiency of in every food-getting, shelter-getting exertion, in farming, mining, manufacturing, transportation, and communication. From the caveman to the hand-workers of three generations ago, the increase in efficiency for food- and shelter-getting has been very great.
The Cave-man gave a startled jump. "My goodness," he said, "you startled me!" I could see that he was quite trembling. "You came along so suddenly," he said, "it gave me the jumps." Then he muttered, more to himself than to me, "Too much of this darned cave-water! I must quit drinking it." I sat down near to the Caveman on a stone, taking care to place my revolver carefully behind it.
I am thinking of him in his capacity of wooer. All this ought to have put him in rare shape for offering his hand in marriage. I shall be vastly surprised if it won't turn him into a sort of caveman. Have you ever seen James Cagney in the movies?" "Yes, sir." "Something on those lines." I heard him cough, and sniped him with a sideways glance. He was wearing that informative look of his.
