SARDINIA: THE ISLAND OF PYGMIES AND WOLFRAM A traveler of fine imagination sug gests that travel involve a double Journey '"one forward through space, the other backward through time." Your steamboat ticket from Ovl taveci'liia. tl.e Hrt of Koine, entitles you to uu eigbt-hour voyage to. Sar dinia, but affords a premium of sev eral thousand years backward to Eu rope's earliest traoeuble hickory. Sardinia bus a double Interest Just now because of the reported native demand for home rule, and because Americans have found tracts contain ing wolfram, highly prised as a source of tungsten. Second only to Sicily among, Medi terranean Island. Sardinia has been referred to as the lost isle of that sea. 'Geographically It has been said to turn Its back on Italy, for Its east coast la mountainous. This Isolation has a eoopeaxjoii in preserving the st 4 people who have a Sardinian Miners. special Interest for students of racial history. Sardinians are small of stature. Even their soldiers have an average height a fraction under five feet, four inches. But the most conspicuous curiosities of Sardinia are Its nuraghl, great round towers, relics of the bronze age. which served as fortified dwellings for some prehistoric people. There are 5,000 or more of these towers, some 60 feet high, usually about 30 feet in di ameter at the base, made of stone blocks and smeared with clay on the insldd Stairways lead to upper cham ber and platforms. , Interesting as are these relics f on known inhabitants, even more fasci nating are the traces of ancient civili zations to be . found la the dally life f Sardinians of today. One may find oxen plowing as they did In the days of the Roman empire. Implements which were Introduced by the succes sive occupants, one Catalan, town (Algbero) where there .to no Jarring note fn the illusion , of old Spain, and dances of fhe classic Greek period at the mountain feste. t .. Only in Sardinia and Corsica vu the mufioni, predecessor of our sheep, to be found. Wild deer, and .wild, boar are plentiful in the mountain districts. Tunny fishing Is a major industry. In area Sardinia la con parable to Vermont, but has more thaa twlca the population of. that state, Te Island lies direct! j south of Corsica, and is separated .therefrom by .the narrow strait of. Bonifacio. .In shape It has been compared to a human footprint .tft I Advertia la. Th pally Gasettc .-V v O v 4 7-; gGAY; OLD MEN : tlOAM JAOWAY was trying to be. i 3 funny, -this ' morning," i- related th horse doctor. "He saw some boys turning - handsprings, 'and undertook to show them how the trick used to be done bi the halcyon days, and the doc i ftjl. ,y tor says be U wrenched- bis 1 back so he'll be In bed for neveral days." Disasters of that sort usually happen to the graybeard who tries to demon strate that he hn't an lder than he was forty years ago," com mented the village patriarch. "I'm always being tempted to do some idiotic thing, and hare to suppress such impulses with a mailed fist It's all the outcome of vanity. A man hates to admit that he's a back number. He wants to assure the plain people that, notwith standing his gray whiskers and string halted legs, he's a four-horse team with a dog under the wagon, when It comes to athletic skill. "I was In the livery barn the other evening, when young Fretsinger be gun explaining that he bad been tak ing boxing lessons from one of the old masters. He had learned all the trlckB of the game, and was Just Buf fering agonies because there was no body present who would stand up and exchange scientific swats with him. "In my younger days. If I do say it myself. I was a star performer In the ordinary knock-down-and-drag-out form of combat, but I never was worth shucks at boxing. Nobody knows that better than I do. Why. then, did I Inform Fretsinger that I would be glad to spar a few rounds with him? It surely was vanity and nothing else. I hnd n n Idea that, while he might have plenty of the fancy stuff on hand, I might land one of my old-time haymakers; In which cane I felt sure the town would soon be ringing with the story of an old man's prowess. "So I took off my long Jimsvrlnger coat,, and my vest, and stood up for kettle. If anybody tells you. my friends, that Fretsinger doesn't know how to wield his bands, yon may re gard the story as a roorback. I never saw fists so numerous as on that occa sion. I couldn't see anything else for a while, and they landed on me In many unexpected places, and I don't remember 8 time when I was so em-barrassedy'-'. ' "Fretsinger explained afterward that he riwrrty tapped me gently be cause I was a Venerable man, old e'nough to be his' grandfather. In that ease I never want to become Involved In an argument with him when he Is In earnest I bad a black eye for a week after this recital, and my nose has never satisfied me since. Every time I came downtown, I had to ex plain to thousand people that I black enect my eye while splitting kindling,' or that I dropped a sad-iron on it There Is nothing more " nominating than a black eye, and I made up my mind that Td, try to realize my ad vanced age thereafter, and behave my self like a grave and reverend man. "But no sooner bad my eye recor ered than, I was In trouble again. I saw some young men wrestling, and paused to point out that' they didn't know the rudiments of the game 1' assured them that In my younger days I was a holy terror, and I didn't think that my hand bad lost Its cunning. It would afford me' genuine happiness, I said, to show them how wrestling was done in the-palmy days of. Mul doon and Whistler. . ' . "So I removed my coat and vest and went Into executive session with , a huky young man who bad no respect for gray hairs. I am not sure about what followed, bat I think be must have thrown me over his bead. , Any how. I made a great dent In the earth with my person, and I was so sore for two weeks that I had to take myself around in a wheelbarrow. Of course, I am determined to make no more bad breaks of the kind, but I haven't much confidence in myself, and tomorrow you may see me climbing a tree half a mile high, to show some boys bow to rob birds' nesta."
