that gorgeous life of 1850 years ago no
doubt she had been beautiful and clothed
with rich apparel and surrounded with
loneliness and luxury. But in death she
was not to lie as lies the true queen or

thin wood she was put away in bare

royal dead. Hardly and gifts were laid

as are characteristic of Mr.. Milliken.
Associated with him, in this work,
has been his son, Carl r. Milliken, a
graduate of Bates College, who has a
business capacity and push that has
placed him in the front rank of the
hustling young men, who are now do

three miles beyond Smyrna mills, on

which are doing a rushing business.
The mill at Dudley is now and has been
devoted to the getting out of pulp wood
and the manufacture of shingles. Its
output is about five millions year.

UNEARTHING A MIGHTY KING.
An Egyptian Monarch Who Died 45OC
Years Ago.

In all the history of excavation no
such intensely human story has been
dug out of the forgotten past as has
been brought to the light of day by the
recent work of the German Orient So
ciety of Berlin at the Pyramid of Abu-
sir.
The report of almost "a year of ex-
ploration has just been made. 1t is
couched in scientific, matter fact
language. But in it is the whole
drama of life-a tremendous sermon
preached by fallen stones and royal
corpses and the sands of the desert,
with mighty, all-conquering death for
their text.
The German professors found a
great king. So great was he that the
great gods, Sechbet. the Lion headed;
Anubis, the Jackal-headed. and the
Nile gods are shown bowling before
MIN. Upper ard Lower Egypt were
his. When he died men began TO build
a vast temple of the dead for him.
Four thousand five hundred years
ago they buried Ne-woser-re, the king.
And the centuries passed, and his tenn
pie. unfinished. disappeared below the
drifting sands. He and his family,
his royal favorite and his high priests
became hidden deep below the dwell
ings of succeeding kings and priests
end their tombs were piled over all.
Then they, too, sank away and were
forgotten. Others built and died

turns. The great clock of history still
wanted thousand years to the time OF
the coming of Christ, and Ne-woser-fe
the king, was so utterly lost ana Ior-
gotten that the poorest of the pool
