AN EGYPTIAN FAIRY TALE.
Curious Echoes of Biblical Records in
Ancient Folklore.

AnCient FotkiOTe.
In the year 1895 the trustees of the
British Museum purchased a fine
papyrus roll, written on both sides,
the diverse bearing a series of rev.
enue returns, dated in the ~" year of
the Emperor Claudius, B. G. 46-47, and
the reverse a series of magic tales
written in Denote. The latter, with
a fine facsimile, have been published
by the Clarendon Press, Oxford, ac-
companied with a translation and
commentary from the pen of Mr.. F. L.
Griffith, the Psychologist.
The stories are part of series
which center in hero named Khan
mas. High Priest of Memphis, the his
torical original being the Prince
Regent Kha-m-uas the son of Rameses
II. The writer of these stories has
collected great quantity of folk
legends which were current in Egypt
at the time when this manuscript was
written, about A. D. 1880, and the
the papyrus may certainly be de-
scribed as one of the richest collec-
tons of first century tales ever dis
covered.
The stories relate to Khamuas un-
der the name Of Seteme, derived from
his title of Sem, priest of Memphis,
and his son Si-Osiris. The story of the
birth OF this youth is given. He is
the miraculous child of his mother,
and his name is revealed to his father
liz a dream-"His name shall be ST.
Osiris (son of Osiris, for he shall do
many marvels in Egypt" We are told
that "he grew big, he grew strong and
went to school" and that he rivaled
the scribe who taught him." and he
began to talk with the scribes in the
House of Life (the library of Mem
phis), in the Temple of Ptah, and
all the land wondered at him"
The resemblance between this ex-
tract and the story of the birth Of
Christ is most astonishing, and it is
still more so when we read again:
Behold the boy Si-Osiris reached
70 wears of age, and there was no
scribe in Memphis that could equal
him in reading or writing or magic"
II in these passages we have an adap-
tation of the story Of the birth Of
Christ. as told by the disciples, ii is
certa;-ly the earliest record known,
being less than 20 years after the IN
PRODUCTION Of Christianity into Egypt
by St. Mark CA. D. CD.
The wonder-worker takes his
father to the regions Of Amenti, or
Hsdes. and the cycles of the land of
death are described. Here we have a
mass of valuable legendary matter
derived from Egyptian, Christian and
Jewish sources. The judgment scene
differs much from that described in
the one hundred and twenty-hfth
ohaper Of the Book of the Dead, and

LITTLEDANDElioN.

Gay little dandelion
Lights up the meads,
Swings on her slender foot,
Telleth her beads,
Lists to the robins note
Poured from above;
Wise little dandelion
Asks not for love.
Cold lie the daisy banks,
Clothed but in green,
Where, in the days agone,
Bright hues were seen.
Wild pinks are slumbering;
Violets delay;
True little dandelion
Greeteth the May.
Brave little dandelion,
Fast falls the snow,
Bending the daffodil's
Naughty head low.
Under that fieecy tent
Careless of cold,
Blithe little dandelion,
Counteth her gold.
Meek little dandeiion
Groweth more fair
Till dies the amber dew
Out from her hair.
High rules the thirsty sun,
Fiercely and high;
Faint little dandelion
Closeth her eye.

The inventor lives in Binghamton,

YORK CITY
HAS RESIGNED AS SECRETARY
w. A. Gates VIII Serve Out jack
sons Unexpireti Term With State
Board of Corrections and
Charities.

Anticipating by a few weeks the final
dissolution of the state board of correc-
ton and charities under the law which
created the state board of control, j. f.
Jackson has resigned the position of sec
rotary of the first-named department
He will go to New York city to accept a
position with the associated charities
there Although the now moribund board
of correction and charities has not yet
taken formal action upon Mr.. Jackson s
resignation, it follows, as a matter of
course, that it will be accepted for the
reason that after July 81 the position
which he has held will cease to exist
Arrangements already have been made
to have w. A. Gates, state agent of the
board Of corrections and charities, serve
as secretary for the short period which
that body will continue to exist.
Mr. Jackson has been secretary for the
board Of correction ana charities more
than three years, he having succeeded H.
II. Hart, when that gentleman went to
Chicago to take charge of another branch
of charitable work. Previous to his ap-
pointment to that position Mr.. Jackson
served for five years as secretary Of the
associated charities in this city.

LITTLE BOY TRAVELLER.
LOOMS Rogers PASSES Through En-
Route to Tacoma

Loomis Rogers, an eight-year-old citl-
zen Of Indianapolis, arrived in St. Paul
last night, en- route for Tacoma. The
youngster was travelling alone, but had
letters which insured safe passage to his
destination. He was met at the depot
by E. d. Rockwell, passenger agent for
the Northern Pacific, but stayed by the
car until his other friend, Fred SeiXas,
showed up.
Il am to meet him here he said,
land l know he will come
Mr.. SeiXas was on the spot in few
minutes, and, with Mr.. Rockwell he gave
the lad pointers on the rest of the jour
ney. The little fellow apparently thought
light of the trip, as he had been met
by soilcitous friends at every point of
changing cars. He told Mr. Rockwell
that he wished the beds in the sleeping
car TO be removed in the daytime, and
as a special mark of favor orders to
this effect were issued by the obliging
official
To Mr.. Seixas he confded the fact that
he had plenty of money but did not
want the general public to get wise" to
1t. Several purchases were made here,
but the boys plethoric wallet was not
opened, and at 1925 he went west, con-
signed to his uncle and aunt, Dan and
Mrs. Calkins, Of Tacoma The young
traveller was provided with letters from
a number of officials, and one, indited
by G. s. Fee, will insure his reaching his
destination over the last lap Of a long
unaccompanied journey.

SAVING Old LANDMARKS
SERVE HISTORICAL STRUC-
TURES AT SMELLING.

Maj. Ray, who is the commanding Of
ficer at Fort Smelling, is doing all in
his power to save some of the old land
marks at the fort. The old block tower,
which stands upon the banks of the Min
nesota, and which was erected in 1919, is
receiving some attention. The roof is
being replaced with a new one and every
effort will be made to save il from fall
ing into decay.
At one time there were four of these
towers occupying the four points of a
diamond-shaped area inclosed by four
walls. These walls have all fallen into -
cay, and two of the towers have follow
ed them. All that remains is the old
round tower and the block house men
toned above. 1nasmuch as these are all
old landmarks, and will some time be
of great value and Importance from an
historial point of view, every effort made
to save them from ruin is to be com
mended. Maj. Ray thinks that it would
be a good work for the State Historical
society to take up this matter and en-
deavOr to receive from the government
sufficient appropriations to save these old
landmarks from ruin and decay.

PROPOSE 70 ABAIE TAX
TWIN CITY RAPID TRANSIT WANTS
A CONCESSION OF $14,-
900 MADE
REQUEST MAY BE GRANTED
Strong Effort on Other Hand Being
Made to Compel Commissions
ers to Collect Full
Amount

Unless the protests of County Attorney
Kane prevail, it is practically conceded
that the board Of county commissioners
at their next meeting will accept the Of
fer which the Twin City Rapi1 Transit
company has made as a compromise for
the heavy bill of personal taxes that the
county holds against it.
The tax in question amounts 70 Il 1T
tie in excess of SAT, co., and this sum the
county, through it's legal depart nent, has
brought suit in the courts to secure. The
compromise, which the comm saioners
are about to accept, makes a pce ie1t to
the Transit company of nearly $4,000 and
dismisses, for the time, the valuation
which the state board of equalization,
through the efforts of Elk Gov. Lind, SIC
ceeded in establishing, as far as Ramsey
county is concerned.
In the Office of County Auditor Johnson
a secret meeting of the tax committee
of the board was held yesterday, the con-
ference, which included Commissioners
Whitehorn and Powers, being also par
ticipated in by representatives o. the
Transit company and County Alto icy
Kane and Assessor Conley. Reporters
were denied admittance, but from infor-
nation obtained from others than the
commissioners, sufficient was CLEANED to
show that the board is willing to make
the concession of $4,000 to the Fl ..,sit
company, If some stumbling BLOCK in the
shape of a legal impeachment is not pre-
scented by County Attorney Kane.
At the last meeting of the board q
resolution was in readiness favor ag the
abatement of the tax against the COM
pany, but Mr.. Kane protested strongly
against any such action unless the legal
side of the question was investigate AMI
his action prevailed.
Many are advancing the opinion that
the board must stand by the valuation
placed by the state board of equl .i:iar;on
and it is even rumored that mandamU5
proceedings will be taken by OUTSIDE par
ties to compel the board to insist on the
tax demanded by the state board

Dr. Richard Price states that there is
still! good reason for parents guarding
their children against animals with the

eXtermlnated after a hard effort, but it
appears that the efforts were not as sue
cessful as was supposed.

had to be killed because Of this disease
He says the animal was very radically
affected and attempted to bite everything
in sight, but fortunately did no harm.
DR.. Price urges that parents cannot be
too careful of their children, for there
Is every reason to believe that this dan
gerous disease is still at work in the
city. He says the impression that the
disease will always manifest itself with
in fourteen days is decidedly incorrect.
Sometimes it requires six months to pro-
duce fatal results. A dog that was taken
up on Iglehart street last February af-
ficted with the rabies died only a day
or two ago.
