WISE MAN FROM PERSIA
Or. Hansin Truly Lives With

HOW TO LIVE 400 YEARS
The Man and Some of His
Great Teachings

In addition to teaching how a man may
prolong his life four hundred years be-
yond the prescribed three score and ten.
the Rev. DR.. Hanish of Chicago, thinks
he has solved the servant girl problem.
The cook is no longer dominant, so far
as he is concerned. The way he has freed
himself from this despot of the kitchen is
simply to order his way of living so that
the necessity for the constantly recurring
serving food is eliminated. The man who
wrote:
He can live without books-what is knowl-
edge but grieving?
He may live without hope-what is hope
but deceiving?
He may live without love-what is pas
sion but pining?
But where is the man that can live with
out dining?
did not know Ir Hanish and his ways,
for he is a man who can, and does. live
without dining Truly, he eats. but only
to appease hunger, and of the simplest
food, which he prepares for himself and
takes without the formality OF table set
ting or service.
The Rev. Dr. Ottoman Hanish-he has a
number of other names, but they are not
easy to write or reads the founder, pro-
moter and high and only priest of the
sun worshippers, who have their head
quarters in Chicago, and he teaches the
Mazdaznaa philosophy. The name Maz-
daznan is taken from Ahura Mazda, the
great spirit of the ancient Zend religion.
As matter of fact, neither DR.. Hanish
nor his followers. who number several
thousand, worship the sun. In explaining
this he says:
The sun is the center of the solar sys

is the center of the universe, of
all that is. BY worship We do not mean
bowling down to the sun. but rather hold
ing it in worthiness as a symbol of
thought, since it is the brightest most
life giving object of which we
have any knowledge
Dr. Hanish relates OF himself that he
was born at Teheran, Persia, of Russian
and German parentage, in December 1Si3.
He was from birth delicate, sickly child,
and although his parents tried every
means of which they could learn to re-
store him to health he grew steadily
weaker and more helpless.
AS a last resort they decided to take
him to the temple Ell Kharman. about $50
miles from the Persian capital. At the
time he was about eight.
The priests received him, on the condi- !
lion. as is their rule. that his parents |
should relinquish all right to him, and !
that he should belong absolutely to the !
emple In nine months DR.. Hanish was |

AID HEALTH FARM
REV. A. c. PECK. OF DENVER, TO
SPEAK AT Y. M. G. A. ROOMS
IN THIS CITY.
Y. M. C.. A. Health Farm Is Conducted
by Denver Association for Benefit Of
Members Seeking Health In colora-
do-ottumwans on Farm.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Rev. A. G. Peck, Of Denver, Col, will
give short talk at the Y. M. @. A..
rooms tomorrow afternoon at 4:30
o'clock In the interests of the Denver
Y. M. G. A. health farm. All interest
ed in the movement are invited to at
tend.
Mr. Peck is said to be most inter-
esting talker. He was formerly dean
of the university of Denver and is at
present pastor of the City Temple in
that city. He is now enroute to the
east in the interests of the health farm
and will be in Ottumwa only between
trains.
The Health Farm.
The health farm is conducted by the
Y. M. G. A. of Denver and is for the
purpose Of caring for members of any
Young Mems Christian association in
the world who go to Colorado for their
health and apply to the Denver associa.
ton for help. The fruit farm is pleas
ant. Special attention is paid to the
sanitary conditions and the men are
cared for at nominal cost.
Origin of the Farm.
For a number of years the Denver
association was oyerrun with applica-
tions for help from members of the
association who had come to Colorado
for their health and spent all their
money. In the edition of the Topeka
Capital edited by Rev. Sheldon, an ar,
ticle contributed by the secretary Of
the Denver association suggesting the
establishing Of such a farm. A veal
thy resident of Germany became inter
ested and sent $4,000 for promoting
the plan. A forty acre tract of land
near Denver was donated for the pur.
pose. The plan has proved most sue.
cessful and arrangements are being
made for charging the accommoda.
lions of the farm. For the men who
are able light work Is provided and In
this way the expenses are kept at q
minimum. Ottumwans who have lived
on the farm state that it is admirably
managed.

Tucson, Arizona.
Tucson, Arizona, is 300 miles west of
Ell Paso
Nothing could be more disappoint-
ing than the Rio Grande river itself.
This river, which looks so big on the
map and which sounds so large as
being the border line between this
country and Mexico, at Ell Paso is
nothing more or less than dry bed
OF sand, which contains running water
only at certain seasons of the year,
and then For a few days at time. One
can easily walk across the Rio Grande
river at this point.
The trip is made in abou. IL hours
on the Sunset Limited train of the
Southern Pacific railway, and is an
interesting one, because OF the very
desolation of much of the country
passed over. There are stretches of
many miles where no living thing is
to be seen and where the outlook as
far as the eye can reach is desolation
itself. There are other stretches of
good grazing land, but as a whole, one
| wonders what that part Of the country
| was ever intended for; certainly not
| for the habjtation of man.
Tucson Is located in beautiful val
ley and is city of about $1,000 people
doing a large business i'll supplying
| the mining camps that are scattered
in all directions throughout the sur
rounding mouEtains for distance of
hundred miles or more. Tucson,
like other places in this part of the
country is growing rapidly, and is
emerging from the old Mexican adobe
building into the modern brick and
stone structure. Tucson is proud in
the possession Of a new hotel, the
Santa Rita. which is indeed a gem
and one of the best that we have met
in our travels. Though only opened
the first Of February, it Is already full
of people comprising both health
seekers and commercial Travellers and
in order to be sure of accommodations
! 1t is necessary to secure the
same in advance. Tucson is the seat
of the Territorial university of Arizona
which in addition to giving thorough
English collegiate course, conducts
one Of the finest schools in mines in
the country. A visit to the cities of
Ell Paso and Tucson is well worth
while. and persons making the trip to
California, will find it an enjoyable di-
version to stop off at these two places.

WIENER A WONDER
LOCAL souTHPAW EXPECTED TO
PITCH EVEN BETTER BALL
THIS SEASON THAN 1903.
Yesterdays Chicago American Con.
tanned Full Figure Likeness Of
Jacob, Together With a Compliment
airy Write-Up.

1t is James X. Harris opinion that
Jacob Weimer Of this city, who tossed
such remarkable ball last year for the
Chicago Nationals, will this season,
do even better than 1903. The Chicago
American yesterday morning had full
figure likeness of the Ottumwa reared
pitcher and complimentary write-up
with quotations from President James
K. Hart, of the Chicago National
league club. The article follows:
when the Microbes leave for their
western training trip, the eyes and
thoughts of Chicago ball fans will be
with Jake Weimer, Jim Harris special
wonder.
''In a company of right handlers Jake
is the only southpaw in Harris outfit.
His work last season when he pitched
Chicago to victory in games with New
York and other eastern teams is not
forgotten.
.''Weimer has a speciality.
His slow ball has done deadly exc
cution among. willow wielders who
have stood before him. Although Wei
mer is at present in Chicago, no news
of his exact location has been given
out.
Colonel Hart is enthusiastic over the
prospects for his members the com
ing season and particularly enthusiast
tic about Weimer
Hart says that with Weimer to
pitch critical games and Johnny King
behind the bat, there is sure to be
something doing during the pennant
race. Weimer has the record of having
won as many close games as any man
in the leagues and Colonel Hart ex-
poets him to duplicate his last sea-
sons performances in this regard
"Weimer has been with the Mic.
robes for the past two seasons and he
has emphatically made good each
time.
Colonel Hart says: While the Nat.
ional club has no lack Of good pitchers
we expect great things from Weimer
He is a good, steady man, with
plenty of good speed and good control
He has a creditable record Of strike
outs and at the bat he is generally
good for a hit. Weimer is an all
round player and he will do even better
this season than last"
