he completes this great classification,
will have to catalogue the results of
the last expedition, which has already
been five months in coming from Bas-
sorah, by way of Arabia and the Red
Sea, to Constantinople. To add to the
immensely of the work, all the catalog
uing must be done in two languages,
Turkish and French.
Prof. Hilbrecht obtained the only
marble vase of the time of ArtaxerXes
that is in existence. 1t has Inscriptions
upon it in Persian, in Median, in Baby
lonian cuneiform and in Egyptian hei-
oglyphics.
He has also discovered the oldest
cuneiform tablet yet found, with the
name of the oldest South Babylonian
king in the land of Tello inscribed upon
it. Prof Hilprecht had to work four
weeks to get this out the whole of
which time he had to watch the move
ments of six rivals. among them an en-
bassador, all of whom were working
to obtain the same treasure. Two lead
ing German scholars declared that the
University of Pennsylvania ought to be
congratulated for having obtained such
a rare antiquity. 1t is worth at least
$4,000. Prof. Hilprecht was also fortu-
nate enough to obtain eighteen eight
cen beautiful ancient Greek vases, eight
of which belonged to the famous collec-
ton of the late Tewfik of Egypt. These
belong to between 700 and 500 BIC.
For six years Prof. Hilprecht's special
secret aim has been to find out the ex-
act spot in Asia Minor where the fa-
nous Capadocian tablets came from.
To find the place he made special tour
in Asia Minor, using the railroad as
far as it went, some 800 miles Baron
Won Kuehlman, chief of the railroad,
gave him special car and placed every
facility of the road at his disposal. BY
this means he was able to examine care
fully all places from Scutari to Kutahia
and Koniah, and at last found where
the tablets came from. The Turkish
government has given him permission
to eXcavate there for four weeks in or
der to identify the ancient city buried
there. Prof. Hilprecht means to avail
himself of this permission upon. his
next visit to Asia Minor.
He also found on his trip a very val
liable and extremely rare coin, known
as q silver dareikos. Accidentally he
stumbled upon an ancient Armenian
graveyard, which was, as he said, ''lit-
orally filled with ancient Greek tomb
stones" These tombstones had been
taken from an ancient Greek city some
ten miles away and simply placed by
the Armenians upon the graves of their
dead people. These tombstones had
Greek inscriptions on them, together
with the representations of manhood
and womanhood.
In some cases the Aremnians had cut
the names of their dead below the
Greek Inscriptions. The Greek inscrip-
tions are of great Importance, for they
furnish u large number of entirely new
Phyrgian proper names, which are i'm
portant in connection with the discus
sion concerning the language spoken by
the ancient nations of Western Asia
Minor. The entrance to this graveyard
was formed by an ancient Greek altar
taken from the same city, and which
was ornamented with figure of Apol-
10 and a dedication to the same God
inscribed on 1t.

AFTERMATH

I sometimes linger DER the list
OF friends l lost in other days,
And still the question with me stays
1 doubt If others think the same,
Or even wish to share my thought
That men were foolish who have sough
To leave IL never-dying name.
When thou hast run thine earthly race
Thou wilt not leave a world in tears"
Nor will men come In after years
To view thine earthly resting place.
Thy poor remains will rest as we'll,
Thy spirit Will be no less free
Although it is not thine to be
A Milton or a Raphael.
Fret not thyself. but heaven thank.
If all the good that thou cans't do
May be so done that only few
Need ever know thy place is blank.
Be thankful if but one true heart
Shall feel for thee the moments pain
Ere it can say, 1--WE meet again"-
OF knowing what it is to part.
One loving heart thou mayest crave,
Lest all thou caredst for on earth
Should seem to have no lasting worth
And end forever in the grave.
One faithful heart beneath the sky
In which to leave a seed of love-
To blossom in a world above
And bear a fruit which shall not die

AL were quite ready to undertake, and
yet the soldiery are expected to defend
the people and thir homes.
As the Apache band, ir single file, ap-
preached the point where the two men
were concealed. with Winchesters in
hand and revolvers ready, AL. said, very
cooiiy:
you take the first one, Frank, and
I'll cover the second. When they drop
we'll serve the next two in the same
manner.
"All right" replied Frank.
The Apaches came into close range.
Have you coppered the first red?"
asked AL.
YES"
"Then let 'er go!'
Two ringing reports burst forth simul-
taneously, and true enough the bullets
sped, for the two foremost Apaches
dropped from their horses to the ground.
Next" cries AL.
Again the rifles cracked, and the next
two savages tumbled to terra firma.
The four Apaches remaining were
thrown into a panic. Turning quickly
and hugging the opposite sides of their
horses, they were soon lost among the
other animals. AL succeeded in bringing
down one of the horses ridden by an
Apache, but the redskin mounted an
another very quickly and, making wide
circles, the band soon disappeared down
the valley.
The next movement on the part of
Frank and AL was to go forward, seize
the guns of the dead Apaches and break
them over the rocks. Then they Sc
cured the scalp-locks of the four good
Indians, after which they went over to
the old camp, loaded up their jacks and
started for San Marcial, about forty
miles away.

and hearty congratulations on all sides.
There was no mistake about public SEN
timent; it was with Frank and AL.
During the evening, while the Angeleno
miners were in a hotel surrounded by
a crowd of admiring friends, the land
lord called them aside and said:

But this action seemed likely to result
like others before, in failure. Neither
the marshal or the military succeeded in
finding a bad Indian. 1t remained for
those two Los Angeles miners to mete
out little frontier justice to the
bloody Apaches, as will be noted, and
their brave action is still praised
throughout New Mexico.
When the news of the McComas muir
der reached the two miners, through a
passing squad of cavalry, Frank drop
aexclaimed:
"This Is enough. I'd rather have a
'Pache scalp at this moment than all the
gold in the guich, and 1 propose to go

by the two daring miners. Secreting

because they were well aware that

hainly they failed to reach the point
where Frank and AL. were stationed for
several days.
At last, one morning when the men
had about decided to take the trail in
search of the savages, their patient and
wise waiting was rewarded. A small
band of Apaches, with large number
of horses (supposed to have been stolen)
were seen coming up the trail. AS they
came nearer eight Indians were counted

Since the late Drs. HUFFMAN and
Schleimann carried the famous spoils
from the ruins of Pergamon and Troy
to the museums of Europe, and since
Handy Bey has been appointed direct
or general of the Imperial Ottoman
museum, new law has been passed
which forbids the expectation of ar
Genealogical antiquities. To this law
French and English excavators have
had to yield, and likewise the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania archaeologists.
All antiquities excavated by the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania expedition in Bah
ylon had to be sent to Constantinople.
Prof. Hilprecht, however, was asked to
organize the Babylonian section of the
Imperial museum, and to critically ex-
anime all antiquities left there by the
English, French and University of
Pennsylvania expeditions. He thus be-
came an officer of the Turkish govern
ment during his summer vacations.
What was forbidden by law Prof. Hill
precht obtained for the University of
Pennsylvania by his unselfish work in
the Imperial Ottoman museum. The
sultan and the Turkish government see
ing that he was one of the few foreign
ers who devoted his time to their own
interests, appreciated it, and requested
him, through the director of the muse
UNI, to accept as a present from the
objects, as compensation for his SER
vices. Thus, as personal gift, he re-
ceived over sixty boxes of valuable an
tiquities, which he in turn has pre-
sented to the museum of the University
of Pennsylvania.
According to expert opinion, the
Pennsylvania expedition is the most sue
cessful ever sent to Asia Minor. One
of the leading historians of Germany, in
his review of what the expedition has
done, said: 'In this last decade we
have been accustomed to surprises in
the discovery of Tell-Armana tablets,
which give us an entirely new concep-
ton of Palestinian conditions in the
fourteenth century B. c., and by the
grand results of the French expedition
in Tello, and by the discovery of the
famous pyramid text in Egypt-but all
this is completely overshadowed by
Prof. Hilprecht's expedition work, the
results of which are truly sensational"

HE FOUND GID BABYLON.
Prof Hilprecht, Who Has Carried His
tory Back 1000 Years.

Prof. Herman " Hiprecht. LID.
curator of the Babylonian department
of the University of Pennsylvania mu-
scum, who has been conducting archae-
illogical Investigations in Asia Minor
and cataloguing antiquities in the i'm
perial Ottoman museum at Constant-
nople arrived in New York on Wednes-
day night by the steamer Havre on the
German Lloyd line. He came to his home
in this city Friday morning.
The work Prof. Hilprecht has been
doing in Asia Minor as the head of the
University of Pennsylvania archaeolo-
gical expedition, which was sent to that
country to carry on original investiga-
tions, embraces the summer months of
eight successive years. His investiga-
tions have been receiving the attention
of not only the eminent archaeologists
of the world, but Of many of the greatest
historians and scientists, and his dis
coveries have been such as to result in
important additions being made to our
knowledge of primitive history. His
work has been of such great Importance
that it would be difficult to over-esti-
mate it.
In speaking of his work Prof Hill
precht said that he had spent the sum-
mers of the last three years in organ
izing and cataloguing the Semitic Sec
ton of the imperial Ottoman museum,
in Constantinople. He has finished cat
aloguing the Semitic and Hittite sec
tions of the imperial museum, which
comprise the results of the great Eng
lsh expedition under Layard; of the
French expedition, which worked for
fourteen years under De SarZec, and
the results of the University of Pennsyl-
vania expedition, which has been in the
field for eight years.
The antiquities comprised $4,000 cunei-
form talets, thousands of archaeology

dreds of inscribed fragments of vases. be-

His discoveries, according to Prof
Cheyne of Oxford "are really exciting
news"
The University of Pennsylvania ex-
pedition, by Mr.. Haynes patient work
and by Prof. Hilprecht's decipherings
of the cunieform tablets and reconstruc-
ton of early Babylonian history, has
cleared up for the first time the exact
relation of the early Semitic dynaties
to the old Sumerian kings of Babylonia,
and has added about thirty new kings
previously unknown to history. In ad-
dition to these important additions to
knowledge, Prof. Hilprecht has carried
farther back our knowledge of human
history, on the basis of written docu-
ments, some two thousand years.

1.-THE military are after you, boys. Get
right out the back way and take to the
hills. Well send your jacks and out
fit after you tomorrow"
The men did not linger, but started
at once for a given point about three
miles away, where they went into camp.
The next day about noon their jacks
arrived in charge of a friend from San
Marcial, and in addition to the regular
luggage there was large supply of good
things eatable and drinkable, which had
been provided by the people of the town.
After enjoying rare feast Frank and
AL started west, taking care to avoid
all towns and main Travelled roads.
On the second day out another Apache
incident occurred as follows: An
Apache scout from the fort suddenly
appeared on the trail. and riding past
Frank covered AL with his gun and Or
dered him to throw up his hands. Now
Frank did not stop to inquire what the
Apache wanted of AL, nor did he give
him time to shoot. Within four seconds
from the time that the Indian had
brought his gun to bear on AL a bullet
from Franks rifle had perforated what
little heart the savage possessed and he
dropped.
All simply said: "I'd have done as
much for you, Frank" And that was
all.
They buried the Apache and his trap
pings, and taking the horse, fine gray,
went on their way as if there had been
no interruption. And it is doubtful if
the military ever knew what became Of
their Apache scout.
Arriving at the big cattle ranch of Bill
Marmon warm welcome was given
Frank and AL by the generous and popu-
lar cattle king. At the same time he ad
vised them to take trip to California
not that the people of the territory
were displeased at the work they had
done, but that the government would not
see the justice of giving the murderous
Apaches a dose of their own medicine,
like that administered by Frank and Al,
The territorial officers would not make
the boys any trouble. bu. the United
States officials and the military evil
IDENTIFY thought the affair required their
Interference. They could not bring to
justice themselves the numerous
brave miners took judgment against the
red-handed devils they wished to bring
them in and place them on trial for their
lives for doing the good work.
Marmon gave Frank and AL a good
round sum for their outfit, and shortly
afterward- they took the train for Dag
gett.
No further attempt was ever made to
apprehend Frank or AL for their work
on the Apache lode by the powder and
lead process. In fact. they received
numerous letters from citizens and OFF,
cials of New Mexico, including Governor
Ross, asking them to return to the ter
ritory and assuring them that they
need fear no trouble from the authori-
ties. But our friends still think that
