DEPEW MAY BE JOLLY KING DA-UDU OF OLD.

Editor The Call: On page 8 OF The
Call Of February 2 there was printed a
cut Of the worlds oldest statue, and
which had recently been unearthed-
The statue bears a remarkable re-
semblance to Senator Chauncey M. De-
pew while in a humorous and satisfied
state of mind DR.. E. ]. Banks of the
University of Chicago now at Bagdad
says that 1t Is the effigy Of King Da-
Udu, King of the Babylonfan city Of
Bismyra, and who reigned 1000 years
ago.
The discovery of this very old statue,
and the fact that it is a close likeness
of Senator Depew. should be seized upon
by Theosophists-Buddhi and those
who believe fn the theory of reincarna-
ton as a probable proof of the exist
ence of such natural law as pre-ex-
istence. They claim that when we cast
off the physical body at death we enter
into state Of rest called Nirvana, the

physical and racial resemblances, and
that our names are somewhat similar.
There is therefore a psychological rea-
son why people are called John. Robert,
Bill. Justine. Nellie. Tom, Dick aid
Harry. Theosophists might claim that
the names Da-Udu and Depew sound
somewhat alike, and as a further proof
they each contain five letters.
They can also-clairr that Senator De-
pew, like King Da-Udu, is a statesman
and a leader OF men
Who knows? Maybe Senator Chaun-
cey NJ Depew is King Da-Udu Of long
ago, and that his soul keeps marching
on, but clothed in a different suit Of
flesh, and that the people he now rep
resents in the United States Senate
were once his faithful and loyal SUBJ

"HE train was thirty minutes
from Padmore when Miss Rand
sat up straight and began pull
ing the pins out of her hat, a
pretty wine-colored affair that exactly
matched her travelling gown. Five
minutes later in a tan rain coat and
cap she splashed down into the pools
of water on the open platform of the
railway station and faced the glaring
eyes of the hanson cabs, transfer
wagons and private brougham or two
lined up opposite. She paused under
a lamp midway of the line and looked
eXpectant.
Only a brougham and cab re-
her skirts and started down the plat
form. A coachman in green livery
was guiding a young woman in a wine-
colored gown to the brougham. Miss
Rand was hurrying toward the coach
man when a voice drawing from the
cab at her right made her stop short
Hello, Kate it said. What in
time are you doing here?"
We'll, Tommy Yates!" she laughed,
offering her hand. Isn't this funny?''
Yes, isn't it?' he said, holding fast
to the hand. Don't you know enough
to come in out of the rain?"
The next moment she was settling
herself on the dry cushions.
I've been standing out there hours
waiting for some one to claim me, y
she said as the door banged shut and
the cab started off. And you sitting
here all the time. Cruel! What were
YOU doing anyway?"

her. The damp air had made little
blonde ringlets about her face. You
are just as pretty as ever, Kate" He
leaned over and looked closer. Yes,

''Nonsensei" she said, blushing as
the cab passed under an arc light.
You are just as silly as ever, Tommy;
you'll never get over that

QUEER FAITH.

The Tibetans offer daily prayers for
the minute insects which they have
swallowed inadvertently in their meat
and drink, and the formula insures
the rebirth of these microbes In
heaven. Yet they eat meat freely and
square their conscience with their ap-
petite by the pretext that the sin rests
with the outcast assassin, the public
butcher, who will be born in the next
incarnation as some tantalized spirit
or agonized demon.
