through struggle after struggle and temp
tation after temptation, until at last at
Buddha Gaya, he found the light and went
to Benares, where he first gave 1t to man
kind.
Buddha Gaya is to the Buddhists the
most holy spot upon earth. The Bo tree,
under which Buddha sat during his great
CONCENTRATIONS they believe to be the CEN
ter of the earth. They will tell you that
the original tree still stands and that
branches Of it have been carried to Cey-
lon and there sprouted. This tree is stu
ated near a Buddhist temple which is about
seven miles from the little city of Gaya.
1t lies some distance south of the Ganges
SO2 miles by rail from Calcutta, and Is
opium factories are. AS the crow flies 1t
is about 1876 miles from Benares.
The temple, which stands near the treH,
was erected about 300 years after Buddha's
death and is hence about 1900 years old.
1t is 100 feet high and the wall of its
tower is fourteen feet thick, 1t is in the
form of a pyramid of nine stories, embel-
lished with inches and holdings. I have no
space to speak of the tree or its surround
ings. The shrines are chiefly in the hands
of the Brahmins, although there are a
few Buddhist monks who worship in a
monastery nearby. They say their prayers
before beautiful statue of Buddha, which
has been brought from Japan. Buddha
Gaya has about 100000 pilgrims year.

In the Footprints of Buddha.

During my present stay in India 1 have
walked in the footprints Of Buddha. L
passed the birthplace on my way up the
Himalayas. He was the son Of a king who
lived on their slopes, in southern Nepal.
and his boyhood was spent in the most
beautiful scenery under the shadows of
the highest mountains on earth. During
the earlier part of his life he enjoyed such
luxury as only India knows. He was given
every pleasure, was married to charming
princess and in due time had beautiful
son. During this period no was kept from
the sight of all evil, sorrow and pain, for
fear that his contemplative and aescetic
nature might lead him to take to the
church. 1t was not until he was almost
20 years of age that he learned of the
troubles of mankind, and decided upon the
great remuneration. He then gave up his
palace cut off the long hair and putting

A DIuff and a EIarebnck.


Caught without the goods, after making
a daring bluff, abashed. confused but des-
pcrately retalllant, and victorious in tho
end, DIR. John o. Reed of the academic
faculty of the University of Michigan was
backed into a corner Thursday by Presi-
dent Cyrus Northrop in the university
chapel relates the Minneapolis Journal.
Thence he emerged after gathering some
self possession and landed on "PreXy'
Northrop a verbal wallop that put him into
Quiescence.
DIR. Reed, who attended the Michigan
alumni dinner ia st. Paul. came over 10
the chapel with Dean Mortimer c. Cooley
and Prof. Wnfred b. Shaw Of Michigan
for the purpose of telling the young men
and women of Minnesota how much better
off they are than Rockefeller or Carnegie.
He arose to speak. and, fixing an eye on
President Northrop. said that out Of con-
slderation for his venerable gray hair he
would desist from telling the usual string
OF stories with which he always starts n
talk TO students, because he knew President
Northrop had been laughing at them for
years and he did not wish to bore him.
Then DR.. Reed began his speech.
Tell us some Of those Stories" said
President Northrop. Instantly there was an
uproar. Tell US some Of those stories, "
said everyone in the room. In vain DR..
Reed tried TO speak OF contentment and
show them how much better off they were
than the rich Of the earth.
Tell US some OF those stories!"
Then through the bushes. coughing and
a'heming OF DIR. Reed the truth came out.
There were no stories. II was bluff.

The Great Termination.

1t was on this spot that Buddha, ac-
cording to a manuscript supposed to date
from the third century before Christ,
spent six years in penance and mortifica-
ton OF the flesh. During that time he
sat cross-legged under the 30 tree fast
ing and praying. He became a living
skeleton, was naked and covered with
dirt, and an object of contempt to the
Villages about. He was tempted by both
angels and devils. Legions OF demons,
some Of which had thousands of heads,
fought around him to vain. They threw

this estimate is based upon figures which
cannot be verified. The religion is the chief
one of Japan, two-thirds of the Chinese
are supposed to believe it, and its most
ardent followers are Tibetans and the
Monaghan population of Asia, There are
Buddhsts in Siberia and in the Dutch
East Indies. and the faith is supposed to
be alive in Korea, although the priests
there are low fellows and are despised

The commandments of buddhism.

The Commandments OF BuddhIsm.
The Buddhist religion has ITS ten COM
mandments which are taught to the chill
dren. The first five are:
!. Thou shalt not take any life at all.
2. Thou shalt not steal.
3. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
4. Thou shalt not lie
8. Thou shalt not drink intoxicating
liquors.
The second five are obligatory chiefly on
the priests in the monasteries, and by all
other good people on holy days. They are;
l. Thou shalt not eat after midday.
2, Thou shalt not dance or play upon
musical instruments.
g. Thou shalt not use cosmetics
T. Thou shalt not stand or sleep ON ele-
waited places.
g. Thou shalt not touch gold or silver.
The theory of the religion Is that every
one must work out his own salvation. and
that no one can help another except by
example.

physical condition of Theodore
Roosevelt as noted at the land
FEpIYkx3V ing stage at Naples.
khdES1O THE first thing that struck
Iuo in Colonel Roosevelts appearance, as
he walked down the gangway, was his
clothes. He wore gray tweed suit-and 1t
was we'll pressed! The wrinkle to the coat,
the bag to the trousers, so usual with him,
were conspicuously absent. Whether this
be characteristic of second youth or not,
can't say. The first near view of his
sunburnt face told the story Of his regener
alton. How Mike Donovan would have en-
joyed this first sight of him! l remember
talking with Donovan. an ex-pugilist, but
a thoroughly good citizen, who acted at
one time. as Roosevelt's physical trainer.
After commenting on the then presidents
remarkable physique, Donovan added, with
something Of a sigh:
But he's got on about twenty pounds
too much. Dieting would take him down.
but he just can't diet. You see. he has to
go to dinners and banquets and he will
keep nibbling.'
Before Roosevelt left the White House
the twenty pounds was nearer forty. De-
spite his violent exercise-including the
IOO-mile ride-he was beginning to show
.heaviness about his Jaws and embonpotnt.
All that is gone now. He seems not to
have pound of superfluous weight. His
eyes are markedly bright-and nothing gets
by them. His skin is clear and his cheeks
hard. Wrinkles are scarcely 10 be found

How nInIne FIoored a DUKE.

1t is a good story which Chauncey NJ.
Depew tells of a dinner that the late King
Edward, as prince Of Wales, once gave In
honor OF James c. Blaine, on one OF his
visits to England before he had even been
candidate for the presidency The one
disagreeable man at the dinner was a duke
of the royal house, who had a reputation
for lack OF tact. During a lull in converse
ton he blurted out: The greatest outrage
in history was the revolt Of your people
against King George III. There was no
justification for 1t then, and there Is no
excuse for It now" The prince, according
20 Or. Depew, was plaialy embarrassed.
The one man VINO had the tactfulness to
carry OF the situation was Mr.. Blaine who,
in a carefully modulated voice, replied
Perhaps II George III had possessed as
much diplomacy as his great-grandson
America might still be English" The prince

all the ball players and other ath-
ietes began to inquire as to why the
ex-students wanted the park. The
fact that at the Kamehameha 5 'hOols

people TO be skeptical as to whether
or not the Rams had anything to do
with the proposed deal

that some of the former students at

terms AS were offered to the Oahu
League some months ago.
The Oahu League could have made
good deal with the proprietors OF
the Athletic Park, before the Wa
sedas arrived, and by this time the
grounds would have been almost free
of debt. However, the league could
not see its way TO buying the park,
and the scheme fell through. There
was too much pickering within the
Oahu League, and the consequence
was that not only did the park deal
fall through, but the second series oi
the league was abandoned.
