FIRST STORY OF IMAGINATION
Written by Ennana OF Thebes for
Eeypt's Crown Prince in 1900 3. c.

Written by Ennana OF Thebes for
Eeypt'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 reigped as Seti il.
His name appears in two places on
the anuscript-probably the only suc-
yiving autograph signatures Of an
Egyptian king.
This piece of antique fiction, written
on nineteen sheets of papyrus in bold
hieratic hand. was purchased in Italy
lby Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold it IN
&S57 to the authorities of the British
museum, where it is now knownl 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 the
cradle OF romance.-Stray Stories.

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

Y'he struggle to get away from pow
erty has been a great man-developer
Had every human being been born
with silver spoon in his mouth-had
thereA been no necessity put upon him
to wdrk-the race would still be in
its inAaucy.s 'erv1i.as ,s a.,s..r 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 man"

WOLVES ARE HARD TO SHOOT
Seen for Only an instant, They Seen
to Melt Into the Landscape.

10 melt into the Landscape.
The wolves now found in Jackson
county are in size between the coyote
of the western plains and the big
wolves found in the Ozark region. In
general appearance they bear re
isemblance to the Scotch collie dog.
, They live in unfrequented places,
generally in the timber or along the
streams, and a favorite abode is in
caves or under overhanging lodges
Of stone.
Scratching out a shallow hole in the
ground they line it with small sticks
and dry leaves. Here the mother wolf
takes care of her young, while the
father is securing the country for
miles around in search of food.
He is rarely seen by day, and then
only for an instant. for he seems tG
melt away like a mist into the weeds
or brush, his tawny hide making It
easy for him to disappear from sight
His skill in eluding his enemies, es.
pecially human, is remarkable. and
this is one OF the most aggravating
things about him. If a hunter sue.
ceeds in getting within gunshot of
him the chances are 10 to l that no
damage will be inflicted
His hide is so thick and tough and
is covered with such a heavy coat of
fur that an ordinary discharge from
a shotgun has little or no effect. With
an ease that is exasperating he sim
ply lopes out of danger and is soon
lost in the brush.-Kansas City Star.

was made clear by that report that the
public is fonder of illustrated lectures than
of those on education subjects.
Capt Oyster and Mr.. Cox inquired what
the school physicians, paid out of the
boards funds. are going. and after some
discussion 1t was agreed that committee
of three be appointed to confer with the
District health officer on the subject
Before the board adjourned it listened to
an exposition by Assistant United States
Attorney Mcnamara of the school law in
regard to the direction of expenditures. Mr..
Mcnamara held that the board was au-
thorized to direct expenditures under the
supervision of the Commissioners. The
Commissioners business, he thought, is to
decide upon the legality of a money trans
action.
The question arose through the trouble
over the long-standing bill of $3.50 for
the superintendent's livery. Mr.. McNa-
mara advised the board to return the bill
to the Commissioners. with an explanation
that this was the market rate and request
that the board approve it and order it paid.
the Commissioners having previously re-
turned the bill with the note that they had
never allowed so large amount before
for such a purpose. This action was taken.
On motion of Mrs. Mussey the board adj
journed. Capt Oyster having announced
that he would like to have a special meet
ing very soon to consider the report of the
