The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1910-11-15

Some documents from central Asia
have been acquired by the Asiatic so
ciety of Bengal from Montenegriu.
They consist Of five leaves Of brown
ism yellow paper. measuring eight
inches by SIS. inches.
The significance of these five leaves.
the genuineness Of which cannot be
doubted, is that scholars are here con.
frontei with number of consecutive
passages in a language 10 which no
clew has yet been found. and of which
hitherto only fragments have been
rescued from the sands of central
Asia.
II is possible that by means Of these
five leaves an important literary Ian
guage of whose existence the world
had no suspicion may be rescued from
oblivion. The paging on the reverse
of each leaf shows that they once
formed a part of an extensive work.

earned a livelihood as o coobler. ne
studied law while on the shoemaker
bench, and how thoroughly he mastered
mis- lessons is shown by the fight he won
later on.
During his 20 years or more OF active
practice in the law in Austin he was
connected with all the big litigation Of
the time. Among the mcst notable o.
these legal battles may be mentioned
| the Manhattan line suits. the Rees'

Battle Mountain with papers of attach

the mail cars and notified the conducto
that the engineer could pull out on tim

Thomas chained the cars to the rail

On the Ely.

Probably the windiest place in North
America is the short stretch In Wash
ington from the + street q line to
the entrance to the senate wing of the
capitol. On a good blustery winters
day 1t is possible at almost any time
to see two or three people chasing
their hats across the street. The old
timers have learned that it doesn't pay
to chase your own hat. Somebody else
will be sure to run after it and bring
1t to you.
One day Representative Murdoch of
Kansas rebuked a friend for starting
to chase his own hat.
"Nevcr do it," he said. Somebody
will bring 1t to you"
"Well, you ought to know" replied
the other man. kansas Is the wind
