The Man With the Spade.

Every time an antiquarian spades
up a bit Of earth in the Levant or in
adjacent countries, theory is eX
ploded or some ones simple faith is
crushed. The man with the hoe com
mands pity; but the man with the
spade occasions the liv2liest discom-
fort. If today We pin our faith on the
probity Of Abraham, tomorrow, the
spade is apt to turn up a bit of evi.
dCnCo that not only WeakenS our
confidence in him, but makes us
doubt that he ever saw either ur or
Canaan. There's the case of Khan
murabi. 1t seems that just the other
spading in Susa Persia, turned up
with the sod a picture Of Khammur-
abb, an autographed letter of Khan
murubi's ana a code of laws, which,
since they were filled with praise of
khammurabl, the antiquarian very
properly ascribed to him.
\ London publisher has published
the code, and now the world learns
that Moses was something of a pla-
giarist. That some Of the laws and
much Of the language that are to be
found in the Hebrew leaders code
for the worlds guidance are original
with Khammurabi. The latter ruled
in the golden age Of Babylonia, just
twenty-five hundred years before the
beginning of the Christian era, a
fact that makes Moses seem like a
comparatively modern prophet. The
code shows that Khammurabi's meth
cd Of dealing with crime were sim
pie and direct. When a man was &C
cused of wrong doing, he was thrown
into the Euphrates. If he was
drowned, he was guilty; if he floated
he was innocent.
Aside from the fact that his code
is the oldest in the world, and that
he furnished points for the Hebrew
law giver, the early Babylonian seems
not to have been a particularly inter
esting gentleman Moreover, the pic
tire excavated shows him the reverse
of handsome But the excavation
calls attention to the energy of the
man with the spade; and to thi:
fact, also: That the author who il

has only to purchase mummy ant
bury his masterpiece with it in thu
neighborhOod of Persia, in order tt
win recognition. Some antiquarian
is sure to dig it up, and once I'm
earthed, it will only be a question o
, selection so far as publisher il
concerned.

TRACKS COVERED WITH WATER
Seven Miles Of Track Under the Wa
tiers of the Kootenai.

Fully seven miles of Great North
ern track, near BOnner's Ferry, is
under the waters of the kootenai
river, which has reached the highest
point known in years, and as re-
suit. traffic between Kalispell and
Spokane has been at a standstlll
since Friday. No. l, the Westbound
Great Northern Flyer, has been l.
varted at Havre, going over the Mon
tana Central tracks to Helena and
then going to Spokane on the North
crn Pacific. The same has been
done with eastbound passenger NO.
., which leaves Spokane by of the
Northern Pacific, and strikes the
Main line again at Havre, The great
spread Of water at Bonner's FERRY
Mas made it impossible to transfer,
and as a result serious inconVenl-
ence has resulted. Not in years
have the waters of the Kootenai
been as high as at present, and resi-
dents along its banks have suffered
large amount of property loss,
while in Bonner's Ferry, row boats
ate used in the streets and are the
only means of transportation.
! At different points three engines
are lying submerged in many feet
of water, while the roadbed has been
soaked to such an extent that large
amount of work will have TO be done
to again put it in shape. Since Sat

senger train a day in each direction.

Tonight's No. 1, and tomorrow NO

through the water, but there is lit
tie hope they will succeed In some
places now submerged, the railroad
company last year raised the track
from four to seven feet, thinking thai
that height would be sufficient, but
water has covered these places to
