FIRST STORY OF IMAGINATION
Written by Ennana OF 'Thebes Tor
Eqypt's Crown Prince In 1900 B. c.

Written by Ennana OF Thebes for
Egypt's Crown Prince In 1900 q. c.
The tale of Two Brothers" writ
ten 5000 years ago by the Theban
scribe, Ennana, librarian of the pal
ace to King Merenptah, the supposed
Pharaoh Of the Exodus, Is the Oldest
work of fiction extant.
The tale was written apparently for
the entertainment Of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti il.
His name appears in two places on
the manuscript-probably the only sur
viving autograph signatures of an
Egyptian king
This piece of antique fiction, written
on nineteen sheets of papyrus in a bold
hieratic hand, was purchased in Italy
by Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold it IN
1857 to the authorities of the British
museum, where it Is now known as
the d'orbiney papyrus.
Other specimens of ancient Egyp'
tian fiction have since come to light,
which appear to prove that the Nile
valley was not only the birthplace OF
the arts and sciences. but was also thu
cradle OF romance.-Stray Stories.

ROOT OF ALL HUMAN SUCCESS
Struggle Of the Race to Get Away
from Poverty.

from Poverty.
The struggle to get away from pow
erty has been great man-developer.
Had every human being been born
with silver spoon In his mourn-had
there been no necessity put upon him
to work-the race would still be in
its infancy. Civilization owes more
to the perpetual struggle Of man to
get away from poverty than to any
thing else. 1t is not poverty itself,
but the effort to get away from It,,
that makes the man. We are SO con-
stituted that we make our greatest
efforts and do our best work while
struggling to attain that which the
heart longs for. Power is the result
OF force overcome. The giant Is made
strong in wrestling with difficulties.
1t Is impossible for one who does not
have to struggle and. to fight obstacles
to develop fiber or stamina. ITO live
without trial is to die but half e man"
