FINDS SECRET OF HISORIGIN

put Forward by Darwin.
The theory that he had sprung
from some remote protoplas.
mic organism, that his twenty,
times-great-grandfather was a
wire haired baboon in the wilds
of Abyssinia and other near-
Darwinian monstrosities, were
all regarded by Sergeant John
Burrows of the Marine corps
as so much “ bunk ” still,
his mind was never at rest.
The Sergeant re-enlisted af
ter the war and was ordered

came from Sergeant Burrows
in Guam.
” At last,” he stated, " I
have discovered where my an
cestors have come from.”
The sergeant explained that
natives of the island had en
lightened him. In accounting
for the origin of man, they
said that everything in the wor
ld was derived from a certain
rock on the island of Guam,
which first became human, then
a stone, and gave birth to all
men. From this island men
were scattered all over the
world. They forgot their lan
guage and ” talked like fools
without understanding one an
other nor knowing what was
said.” Portland Oregonian.
