railroad, last night, Frank Taylor was
killed and his brother, John, badly

young Dallas county men. Two of the

UNLICENSED DOGS.

There were several cases in Recor>

licenses. Several were dismissed, the
persons having taken out licenses, and
Others were continued to allow them TO
do so. Lorenzo Galvan was charged
with keeping flve and Henry Arm

Monday to take out licenses. Recorder
Lewis says he win be compelled to en-
force the ordinance against persons
violating it by keeping dogs without
licenses, whether it will hold good in
the state courts or not. He says he is
there to enforce the city's ordinances
and If they are defective 1t is not his
fault. Attorneys are almost unanimous
in the opinion that the ordinance re-
quiring persons to purchase licenses
for dogs even IL they do keep them in

NEW SAYINGS OF CHRIST.

While working on the edge of the. Libyan
desert, in the neigh borhood of Oxyrhynchus,
one OF the chief centers of early Christianity,
and f1ourishlng city even in Roman times,
Bernard P. Grenfell and Arthur s. Hunt. both
OF them young oxford Fellows interested in
original research, discovered in the rubbish
heaps of the town large quantity of papyri,
mostly Greek, ranging in date from the first
TO the eighth century
among these was one fragment of capital
importsnce-no less than collection of Logia
or Sayings of Our Lord, some of them famil-
lar in their diction, others wholly new. For
reasons connected mainly with the evidence
OF the handwriting the two scholars have de-
clded that the date of the papyrus is some
where between the limits $50 and 300 A. D.
should their conjecture be justified the i'm
portanee OF these Logia in their bearing on
the gospels can hardly be overestimated.
The fragment in question, which is only six
inches long and less than four inches WIDE is
reproduced in facsimile in a little book giving
the text OF the Logia and an &C count of the
discovery OF the papyrus, published for the
Egyptian exploration fund by Henry Provide
The number OF sayings or oversees" on the
papyrus is eight. Unfortunately numbers
four and eight cannot be oeci phered
Number one is similar 10 the passage in
Matthew about 1.-The mote in thy brothers
eye"
The second declares that Jesus said that
none who do not "fast to the world" can find
the kingdom of God, and except ye keep the
Sabbath ye shall not see the Father" 1t is
suggested that "fast from the world" might
be better translation. With the reference TO
the Sabbath one may compare the az am not
come to destroy the law but TO fulfn' and
"the Sabbath was made for man and not man
ior the Sabbath" OF the New Testament.
The touching third saying we are permitted
10 quote in exteEso:
Jesus saith l stood in the midst OF the
world, and in the flesh was / seen OF them,
and found all men drunken, and none found
l atbirst among them, and my soul grieyeth
over the sons of men, because they are blind
in their heart" This recalls St. Johns words
''Ie was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him moi"
The fifth OF the Logia is not complete. but
exceedingly interesting and likely TO attract
great attention. 1t deals with the omnipres-
ence OF Christ, and going beyond the promise.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-08-08

81 am with you always even unto the end OF
the world" speaks of his presence in mani
mate nature. He is TO be sought not only in
the rocks but-"Cleave the wood and there
am 10
The sixth and seventh "verses" are variants
OF much interest on the recorded words OF our
Lord about prophet being without honor in
his own country, a physician not working
cures where he is we'll known, the city on
high hill and the house built on rock.
1t may be ad led that sayings four and eight,
which are still undeciphered, are believed on
the evidence of words and letters already
made out to be new.
1t is well known Egypt has of late years
been singularly fruitful in literary treasures.
There were, says the London Daily News, the
instructive but far from attractive verses of
Herondas. There were the precious jottings
from Aristotle's notebook on the States of
Greece. There are the fragments of Bac-
chylides, the contemporary and perhaps the
rival OF Pindar, which have not yet been COL
lected in book. But all these sink into in
significance beside sentences which purport
to have come from the mouth of Christ him
self. 1t seems that Messrs. Grenfell and Hunt
after handing over to the Egyptian Govern
ment $50 OF the most complete rolls, brought
TO this country pward of2S0 boxes of papyri.
These are written in Greek, Latin. Coptic
eighth or ninth century The majority con-
sists of contracts, letters, wills, accounts and
other official and private documents. But
there is also an unusual proportion con tanning
classical and Christian literature. Until a
thorough examination and comparative
study has been made it is impossible TO emu
merate the contents. But apart from the
Logia herewith published the discoveries have
already identified some fragments of the Gospel
OF st. Matthew, containing most OF the first
chapter, written in third-century hand. In
the department. of classical literature, besides
portions of Homer and Aristophanes, Thucy-
dides and Demosthenes, there are five stanzas
in Sapphic meter, which may probably be
ascribed to Sappho herself. and part OF
chronological work dealing with the latter
half of the fourth century B. c.
The new Sayings" will shortly be issued in
this country by Henry Provide of New York, at
an extremely moderate price, thus ena bling
them to be placed at the disposal of the stu
dent not too well supplied with money.

A study of two women who were married
and loved men other than their husbands.
One of these tempted wives proved frail and
the other true. AlthoLg h in the last chapter
the contrast between the two wome is sharply
drawn SO as to point moral in favor of legal
ties, the bulk of the book is given over to re-
cording inegitimate love and the sentiments
and argument OF those who held love as SUI
preme even over duty. Therefore the book
seems rather pandering to ignoble senti-
ment. 1t is built on the old worn foundatio

THE AUGUST MAGAZINES.
Scribner's.

The fiction number of Seribner's Magazine
has had a wonderful record for decade
1t has made the regulations OF many
new writers and increased the esteem
in which the old ones are held. This issue
sustains the well-earned reputation. 1t
con tains six complete short stories by
Rudyard Kipling, Kenneth Grahame. Frank
r. Stockton, Blanche Willis Howard, Molly
Elliot Seawell and Jesse Lynch Williams, and
it appeals to many kinds OF taste, for they are.
respec tively, railroad story, story of child
hood, farcical tale, a pathetic story, fight
ing story aud new-iournalism story.
The fiction number aims not only at the
best work of famous authors and illustrators,
but, first of all, at thoroughly enter tanning
stories Kipling's railroad story, .O07, is
brilliant piece of work (no matter who its
author). II has to do with American loco
motives in a New York roundhouse and on
an American railway. When the engines
speak they 'talk United States" 1t is a
part of the longed-for "Song of Steam,"
mentioned in "McAndrews Hymn" Kip
ling has shown, in his brief residence
here, that America is full of romantic subjects
if her authors will only see them. Kenneth
Grahame reveals new bit of the Golden Age of
childhood in ats Walls Were of Jasper"-an
imaginative boys story of the pictures in an
old volume. Maxfield Parrish has made a series
OF pictures JnaL 1uIiy OUT tue DOy lucas.
Frank r. Stockton, ''the Edison among humor-
ists," never invented funnier idea than
"The Butler odington Compact" and Peter
Newell has reveled in its opportunities for
humorous illustrations. The new journalism
has found its chronicler in Jesse Lynch VIII
liams, whose "Stoen Story" is es far removed
from the conventional newspaper story as is
the famous "Gallegher," which also made It's
appearance in a fiction number of Scribner's
This number is marked by the beginning Of
what has been called the most original mag
azine idea for many years-"The Workers; An
Experiment in Reality" In these fascinating
papers Walter A. Wyckoff, young university
graduate and student of local problems will
tell his actual experiences while earning his
en- tire living for two years as an unskilled Ia
borer There is no professional philanthropy in
this narrative. MIR. Wyckoff was met and re-
ceived by the workingnlen as one of them
selves-for in every sense he was one-and he
asked no odds of fate For the first time the
American workingman appears in literature,
as neither an economic unit nor a sensational
problem but human being very much like
other people The narrative has all the SIM
plicity and charm of real piece of literature.
