NOAH'S ARK CALLED FABLE.
Chicago Rabbi Calls Biblical Geological
Excursion Impossible.

The GROWING nature fake is the
Biblical story of Noah's rescue of ami
mails from the great food, according
TO a statement by DR.. Emil G. Hirsch
of Sinai temple. Chicago.
"There may have been Noah" said
Or. Hirsch. but the inundation story
is the most palpable sort of myth.
Even if there had been the food men
toned by the Bible and Noah really
built an enormous ark for the safe
conveyance of the favored people and
the beasts. IT would have been phys
ical impossibility for such large
group of living things to have survived
voyage in a single vessel.
1.-THE primitive people of the earth
were as unreasonable as children to-
day They would easily give credence
to such tale as that of Noahs voyage
and pass ii down TO their children
But today we must accept it only as
pretty fabrication"

his eldest son entered the university

the family to spend more time In the
city.
But this town life brought on a re-

made over everything to his wife and

Long Lived Life of Peasant.
The novelist's reference to living
amid luxurious surroundings was sig
nificant of his state of mind. as he has
long lived the life of peasant. While
his family occupied a substantial man
sion on the Yasnaya Poliana estate,
Tolstoy dwelt in PEASANTS hut, par
taking only of the simple PEASANTS
food and wearing the peasants cos
tune, a rough blouse, wide trousers
tucked into high cowhide boots. a
leather belt and fur cap. He had not
always continued this humble mode of
life, but it had been his choice
Tolstoy had been in i'll health for
some time. He suffered frequent faint
ing spells and was unconscious for
hours.
In his writings Tolstoy has condemn
ed suicide as immoral and irrational
and as indicating perverted view of
the significance of life. He said:
''The perversion is in the assumption
that life is meant for my enjoyment,
whereas its purposes are the attain |
ment of personal perfection and to
help in the process which is being
worked out by the whole life of the |
world Men are given their lives and |
the possibility of dying natural deaths /
only on condition that they serve the |
life of the whole world, whereas the |
suicide exploits life as long as it is |
agreeable and refuses to serve the
life of the world as soon as it becomes
ignoring the likely fact
that his service began only at that
when his life became burden
some. Every work is at first unpleas-

Five Rules For Conduct.
Tolstoy. after his change of heart, e"
said he had discovered in the Sermon
on the Mount five laws which became
his rule for faith and conduct. He
summarized them as follows:
Live at peace with all men and do not
regard any one as your inferior.
Do not make the beauty of the body an
occasion for lust.
Every man should have only one wife
and every woman only one husband. and
lney SnOulO not De divorced lot any Ee4-
son.
Do not revenge yourself and do not
punish because you think yourself insult
ed or hurt Suffer all wrong and do not
repay evil with evil. for you are all chill
dren of one Father.
Never break the peace in the name Of
patriotism.
Whether Tolstoy lived up to the spir-
it of these rules is a question that has
been variously answered. There have

limited that the old man himself was
the real ''martyr"-that his life was
made well nigh intolerable.

ON DEATH.


Think OF death more often and
live as VI you were TO die soon.
However you may hesitate how to
act. imagine that you are to die In
the evening, and your doubts will
clear away Immediately. You will
see clearly what your duty is and
what your personal desires are.
You envy another; you are indig-
nant, angry at him: you want to
wreak your vengeance on him.
Consider that today or tomorrow
that man will die, and not trace
will be left of your evil feelings
against him.
Death is more inevitable than the
approach of night, Of winter. Why,
then, while preparing for the night,
for winter, do we not prepare our
selves for death? The preparation
for death is a righteous life. The
better the life we lead the smaller
the fear OF death. For the holy
there is no death.
Just as the owner of the fig tree
knows the time when the fruit is
ripe so God knows when to call the
righteous from this world.
Strive TO keep your life at point
where you neither fear death nor
desire II.

SOME ToLsToY THOUGHTS.
PRAYER FOR NOV. 20.

Every movement toward good
among people who live life of evil
calls forth persecution, not love.
He who suffered to the end will
be saved. How often a man grows
Respondent and stops or even turns
back when only d slight effort was
necessary for him to attain his
goal!
Do not seek the love of other peo-
pie and do not be disturbed by their
lack of love. People often love you
for the evil that is in you and do
not love you for the good that is in
you. Strive to please God, not man.

Marriage Delighted Tolstoy.

Some years later he wrote in his Con

The news conveyed is that MT. Bray has raked in tuna that tipped the scales at 429 pounds, but one pound under the record catch ever made in those waters, which gives hi mrating as the first vice president of the Ava lon Tuna Club. The rule is to rec ognize the biggest ponnd weight, in fish bagged, and had MT.

REPUBLICANS OF
 OREGON IN SESSION

PORTLAND, Ore. July 2O.-Tne political situation in Oregon is al- ready very interesting, but it prom ises to be much more so after the state assembly, of Republicans meets in the city tomorrow. The purpose of the assembly is to form ulate and adopt a party platform and to recommend to the Republican voters of the state a ticket for state, congressional and judicial officers to be nominated at the September pri- maries.
 Those responsible for the "assem- ply" plan confidently declare that every county of the state will be represented at tomorrow's gathering. They declare, furthermore, that the assembly will be representative of the Republican party of Oregon in every sense of the word and that the ticket recommended by the as sembly will undoubtedly be nomin- ated at the primaries.
 Despite these declarations a strong opposition to the assembly, un- deniably exists among many influ- ential Republican leaders throughout the state. They declare that the whole scheme is contrary to the spirit and intention of the direct primary law and is a barefaced at tempt on the part of the faction led by former Senator Joseph Simon to maintain control of the party maehin- cry and defeat the will of the rank and file of Oregon Republicans.
 Interest in the situation is height ened by the fact that Oregon this year elects a complete set of state officers from governor down, to- gether with four judges of the Su- preme Court, representatives in Con gress and members of the legisla- ture.

THREE MINERS
 PERISH IN MINE

DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 19.-Three men lost their lives, Thursday after noon, at the Fl Tigre mine, in Mex ico. The deaths were caused by asphyxiation, due to bad air.
 News of the tragedy was brought to Douglas yesterday by A. E. Lott, mining engineer, who returned to this city after a several weeks stay in the interior of Mexico, where he had been engaged on some work for the Sonora Land company.
 NIT. Lott passed through Fl Tigre on his way to Douglas and reports that much excitement was shown at the mine as the result of the acei- dent, which was the first one of its kind that has occurred for some time.
 Just how the men came to be over come before they could make their escape is unknown. It is thought, however, as they were preparing to set off a blast, one of them became unconscious while on his way to start the fan that is used to drive out the fumes of the powder after a shot had been fired.
 It is supposed his companions came to their death in their attempts to rescue their insensible comrade.
 The air in that portion of the mine is so foul that even after the men were discovered to be missing the reseuers were neld back for considerable length of time. Some of the more daring of the reseuers were overcome and were revived with diff fculty.
 Once the fans had been started the bad air was driven out and the bod ies of the dead miners recovered.
