Those who are interested in him are referred to the two wonderful tales of the cave-man written in the form of stories by two great modern novelists. The books referred to are "The Story of Ab," by Stanley Waterloo, and "Before Adam," by Jack London. They may be obtained from any bookseller. Both are works of fiction, with the scientific facts cleverly interwoven into them.

To the habit generally of wearing a hat baldness is attributed by some. And the luxuriant hair of Indians and of the cave-man is pointed to as illustrating the beneficent result of not wearing a hat. And now and then somebody turns up with the idea in his head that he doesn't need a hat on it. There is a white garbed gentleman of Grecian mould who parades Broadway every day without a hat.
This youth fell in love with one of these fairies, whose beauty was great beyond description. At last, unable to control his passion, he rushed into the midst of the fairy company, seized the beautiful one, and rushed back to his home, with his prize in his arms.

Nowadays, when we hear of another marvelous invention we are very proud. "What more," we ask, "can the human brain accomplish?"
The hero, when the heroine slights him, is said to "feel for a moment the wild, primordial desire of the cave-man, the longing to seize her, to drag her with him, to carry her away, to make her his." When he takes her in his arms it is recorded that "all the elemental passion of the cave-man surges through him."
"As for this cave-man business theoretically, they ought to react to it, both of them. They're both normal, well-balanced young ladies." "They're both runnin' pretty hard to keep in the same place, just at present." "Nancy isn't doing that not by a long shot," Dick said. "She's not keeping in the same place certainly," Billy agreed. "Caroline is all eaten up by this economic independence idea."
