THE LAND OF GRAVES
Ancient Egyptians Believed In Con
stant Reminders of Death
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of a career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions of this life
were tame He lived with the fear of
death before his eyes Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful Initiation Into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but a prep
aration Ilis cemeteries were not hid
den away lu remote suburbs his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds or a slab of stone The whole
land was his graveyard Its whole art
was of the mortuary Are there no
graves In Egypt that thou hnst brought
us Into the wilderness to die asked
the Israelites In derision and we may
believe that Moses winced at the snr
cani
Egypt Is the land of graves and the
whole energy of the people that could
be spared from keeping life together
was devoted to death The mightiest
tombs in the world the pyramids
were raised upon the deaths of multi
tudes of toiling slaves The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries
chambers pits all painfully excavated
in honor of the illustrious dead and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit habitations for
his ghost
Wherever he looked the Egyptian be
held preparations for the great turning
point of existence The mason was
squaring blocks for the tomb chamber
the potter molded images of the gods
or bowls and jars to be placed in the
grave for the protection or refreshment
of the Ka exhausted with the ordeals
of the underworld the sculptor and
painter were at work upon the walls
of the funeral chamber illustrating the
scenes through which the ghost was to
pass or depicting the industrious life
of the departed
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were in a
sense but vestibules to the tombs in
the hills behind The sacred lake now
the weedy picturesque haunt of water
fowl was then the scene of solemn
ferryings of the dead The temple
walls were covered with the terrors of
the judgment to come The houses of
the living indeed were built of per
ishing mud but the homes of the dead
and the shrines where supplication was
made to the gods who ruled their fate
were made to last forever On these
all the strength the science and the
artistic skill of the ancient Egyptians
were cheerfully lavished London Sat
urday Review
A Preserve Owners Sick Trout
A man whose experience as a sports
man had been limited to an occasional
days fishing in the mountains bought
for himself a place with a fine trout
preserve on Long Island He looked
forward with great interest to the last
opeuiug daj as that would be his first
opportunity to fish in his own pond
and when the day at last arrived the
first streak of daylight found him leav
ing his house rod in hand
A day or two later a sportsman friend
inquired as to what luck he had had
I caught plenty of fish and big
ones too responded the owner of the
preserve There are plenty of trout
in the pond but they all seem to bo
sick
Why whats the matter with
them asked the sportsman
Well answered the preserve own
er to tell the truth we were afraid
to eat them Their flesh is pink and I
never saw a brook trout that color be
fore
Dont you know man exclaimed
the sportsman with a laugh that any
trout will turn pink if it lives in salt
water Your pond empties into the
sound and of course the trout run in
and out The next time you have any
of that sort of sick trout just send
them in to me and Ill eat them for
you with pleasure New York Times
A Tiny State
The miniature republic of San Ma
rino is a mere dot on the map of Eu
rope being the smallest state in the
world as well as the oldest independ
ent republic Its area is thirty eight
square miles only little less than
twice that of the island of Manhattan
It lies entirely in Italy but is wholly
independent Its situation is on the
easterly side of the Etruscan Apen
nines and about twelve miles from
Rimini on the Adriatic sea The fron
tier is only twenty four miles in length
and the population would make only a
small city ward numbering less than
12000 There is no public debt and
the annual expenses met by taxation
amount to G0000 The country has
bronze and silver currency coined by
Italy loS000 lire of the latter and 103
000 of the former The principal ex
ports are wine cattle and stone The
military force of the republic numbers
3S officers and 930 men
The Wild Boar
The wild boar is a most courageous
animal The element of luck counts
for a great deal in pig sticking as in
most other forms of sport and it often
happens that the foremost sportsman
who by dint of hard riding or thanks
to the fastest horse has come up with
the quarry is deprived of the coveted
honor of first spear by a sudden
jink or turn of the pig The boar
in spite of his clumsy appearance is
not only possessed of a great turn of
speed but is extraordinarily active He
will turn and twist like a hare putting
every obstacle in the shape of bushes
rocks winter etc between himself
and Iiis pursuers but all the time mak
ing for the nearest patch of jungle and
safety The pace after pig is faster
than the best of runs with hounds but

sions about a half century ago when
only a lieutenant Though he is every

In fact he is slim and small
One day he was presented to a prom
inent man of great physical propor

funny attempt to simulate difficulty in
seeing the small person of the earl and
remarked
All Lord Roberts delighted I have

ARTHUR I V0RYS
Judge Tafts Friend Who Is Managing
Ohio Campaign
During the Roosevelt administration
the tennis cabinet has been an im
portant factor in affairs of state
Should Judge William H Taft occupy
the White House for the next four
years golf will doubtless become the
administration sport as the Republic
an presidential nominee is devoted to
the game and it suits his portly build
better than tennis which necessitates
ones being all over the court at the
same time a difficult achievement for
a fat man One of the prominent Re
publicans who agree with Judge Taft
as to the general superiority of golf as
a sport is Arthur I Vorys manager of
the campaign in Ohio He can play a
good game of golf despite the fact that
his right hand is minus several fingers
Mr Vorys father Isaiah Vorys was
a carpenter by trade and owned
a large woodworking establishment
Young Arthur worked at the bench
and one day he had an experience with
the buzzsaw at tho conclusion of which
it was necessary to bandage up a very
mutilated hand A few days later his
father came upon him playing marbles
with his left hand his right being still
in the bandage
The elder Vorys liked the boys nerve

nd remarked To reward you niy
son I will buy you some marbles
You dont need to dad said young
Vorys Ive got a pocketful the fel
lers gimme for showin em the fingers
I lost Ive got em in a bottle
Whatever the game in hand Mr
Vorys makes it his business to know
how to play it Ilis success while in
Charge of the Taft boom in the Buck
eye State in the preconvention period
resulted in his being asked by Judge
Taft to continue his work in the same
field during the presidential canvass
Mr Vorys is fifty two years old and
has been practicing law since 1SS0
Lancaster was his birthplace and he
studied at the Ohio State university
He was city solicitor of Lancaster and
has served several terms as insurance
commissioner of the state ne married
a daughter of John D Martin of Lan
caster a warm friend of Senator John
Sherman
SYMPTOMS OF RABIES
Signs by Which You Miy Know Whcv
a Dog Is Really Mad
Hydrophobia is so rare and terrifying
lhat its symptoms and treatment are
little understood As a matter of fact
the commonly accepted expression ol
madness In a dog is often misleading
The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter as it is said On the contrary
oind dogs often rush to the water and
drink it cngerlj if they are able to
swallow The mad dog does not froth
at the mouth It does not run amuck
Buapping at everything in its path
What then are the indications of tho
mad dog To those familiar with a
given dog the surest symptom and tho
one which should excite closest atten
tion Is a distinct and unaccountable
change in the dogs disposition a staitl
dog becoming excitable and at frisky
duo dull That condition does not nec
essarily mean rabies but it is sus
picious and if in addition the dog has
trouble in swallowing as though It
seemed to have a bone in its throat
beware That dog should be instantly
tied up because if it be rabies it takes
but a day or two for ferocious in
stincts to develop The unmistakable
evidence however of a dog with
rabies is the sticky whitish saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips The eyes glare and
are red the dog has paroxysms of run
ning fury during which it barks
hoarsely which alternate with periods
of temporary exhaustion Caspar

BORED AND PLUGGED
The Truthful Story cf a Ship Struck
by Lightning
In Duluth down on- the docks some
days ago some fresh water Ancient
Mariners were talking of adventures
on the raging main began an old
steamship man Captain H said
one it seems to me Ive heard some
where that your vessel was once struck
by lightning while sailing sailing over
the bounding main
Yep twice said Captain n Hap
pened off Point Aux Barques bout fif
teen years ago We were joggin long
when a thunderstorm overtook us and
the very first Hash of lightnin struck
the deck amidships and bored a hole
as big as my right leg right down
through the bottom of the vessel
And she foundered of course
No sir The water began rusbin
in and she would have foundered but
there came a second flash and a bolt
struck my foreto gallant mast It
was cut off near the top turned hot
torn end up and as it came down it
ente ed the hole and plugged it up as
tin as a drum When we got down
tG rydock we simply sawed off either
end and left the plug in the planks

Fatalities
Yes said the beauteous young
thing when I asked papa if I might
go mountain climbing he took my head
off But I had my own way of
course and finally the crowd got start
ed and you know they made me put
on a lot of wraps and things that sim
ply suffocated me And aLout half
way up I slipped and fell over a cliff
and broke my neck Indeed yes
And when they had lifted and pulled
me back on the trail I absolutely died
from pain But before long 1 was
able to go on to the top but by the
time we were almost there I collapsed
and sat down for I could never
breathe again But they made me pull
myself together and in time we got
to the summit and there it was so
cold I froze to death Oo ooh And I
was glad I can tell you when we
came down at last and as soon aa
they got me home I went to bed dead
from exhaustion Independent
Will Remember His Friends
When Patrick McGiuuagan became
a member of the Chicago police force
a delegation of his friends burst in
upon him while he was at dinner and
presented him with a handsome night
stick in honor of his popularity and

by this unexpected token the new po
liceman nevertheless struggled to his
feet and stammered his appreciation
Friends ye have upset me wid yr
kindness he said flourishing the
nicht stick Oill try an do me duty

The Alphabet
The great Phoenician alphabet the
parent of every form of European
writing and of the scripts of Persia
Arabia and India as well owes but
little to Egypt It is true that in the
construction of their alphabet the
Phoenicians made use of certain hier
atic characters found in their tradedeal
ings with Egypt but this fact in no
way detracts from the glory of tho in
veution which belongs to the Yankees
