to the House his congratulations on
our work. said he, "and to say that
he expressed the hope that it would

PINGREE AND THE TARIFF.
Message Michigan's Governor
Wired to the President.

DETROIT CMich.), July Ex-Governor
H. S. Pingree to-day wired the follow
ing message in duplicate TO the Presi-
dent Senator Burrows, Congressman
'Corliss and Spaulding of Michigan:
I regard the duty on lumber, hides
and sugar as unrepubhcan, unpatriotic
and unfair. The lumber now used goes
largely into small homes and farm
houses and to a class already greatly
overtaXed. The labOrer wears twice
as many shoes as the millionaire and
must contribute twice as much for the
tax on hides. He must use as much
sugar and pay as much toward the
duty on sugar. 1t is grossly unfair to
make the poor pay as much per capita
as the rich toward the support of the
Government. Properties, not human
stomachs, should be taxed. Property
is protected by our laws, and should
pay for its protection.
"(Signed) H. S. PINGREE."

LOS ANGELES, July 24-Dr. f. K.
Ainsworth, who has been mentioned6in
connection with the Kapus claims
transaction, believed to be a gigantic
swindle, returned from the East to-
day.
DR.. Afnsworth said he had brought a
great many claims from Kapus, be-
lieving them to be legitimate, and all
of them except the last one had been
paid. He remembers discovering a
Goodall-Peri1ins voucher for 81, 500 for
loss of dynamite on the Yaquina, but
inquiry at the company's office disclos-
ed the fact that no such claim had
been made, the dynamite being insured
for its full value.
1t is probable that a general cleanup
of the claims will be made in a day or

Mr.. George Q. Cannon returned yes

Mr.. Cannon arrived here on the 1915
train very tired from his long journey,
and he went to his home at once. Es
WIS too much fatigued to give any ex-
tended interview, but ii is known that
it was the important business in con-
nection with the Deep Creek road that
kept Mr. Cannon away from the Jubi-

osition 10 the Oregon Short Line Off
Gals in the east, which provides for
placing Saltair and Garfield under one
management, with one standard guaGe
road running to both places and con-
tinuing as far as ODhir. and also for
building the road from Tintic to Deep
Creek.
This proposition has been approved
by the Short Line officials here, and
Mr. Cannon stated yesterday that his
conferences in the east were very sucS
cessful. Although it would be delib-

positively that the Deep Creek road
will be built, and ali the other features

OLDEST FAIRY TALE KNOWN TO NAN
Told Six Thousand Years Ago to the Little Egyp
tan Children.

Here is the oldest fairy tale in the
world. 1t has been translated from the
original Egyptian by the well-known
Psychologist. Rev. Charles E. Mold
enke. Phi D. This is the first complete
translation published. The parypus
containing this tale was purchased by
the British museum from Madame
D'Or5iney. But While this manu-
script is more than 5000 years old, it
is only a comparatively modern copy
OF a far older original which may date
as early as 1900 or 5000 years b. c.
The special interest Of this tale lies
in its resemblance TO the well known
incident related of Joseph and Poti-
phar's wife. in the 39th chapter Of Cen
esis- 1t is not at all improbable that it
influenced the Bibicle account of Jo-
seph's temptation and final triumph
The tale is interesting for itself aside
from any other consideration. A few
lines OF the original are here given, to-
gether with the translation of the en-
tire tale Of the Two Brothers.
TEMPTATION AND RESULT

and simply fac smile of the story of

some seed. He finds his brothers wife
arranging her hair and his fine muscu-
lar form arouses her admiration. The

comes like a Southern Panther" and
flies into towering rage. Then as in
the well known tale already known
throughout the world, the wife becomes
afraid, ard although Batau promises
not To speak of the matter. tells her
husband that his brother has wronged
her. Anubis then waits in the stable
with a knife for the purpose OF Staying
his younger brother, but the beasts of
the field warn the latter of his danger
and he fees. Pursued by his brother
he invokes the aid of the sun god, Ra-
Hor-Khuti. VINO causes a river TO flow
between the brothers. The stream is
