probably hardened by being dried in the
sun. The writing was traced on the sur
face of these tablets in curious characters
which greatly resemble the Chinese meth
DDS of writing Of the present day.
Toward the end of October, 1909, Prof.
Hilprecht was unpacking and examining
some of the boxes containing tablets from
Nippur. His attention was attracted by
the peculiarities of certain fragments. He
examined them closely and was startled
to find that one of them was part OF atab-
let which had been the story Of deluge.
BY the dialect in which il was written,
the earliest of the Semitic language found
in Nippur, he knew that the tablet had
lain in the ground more than 1000 years.
The ancient Sumeriana had been con-
quered by Semitic people closely akin
in racial characteristics to the Jews.
These were the progenitors of the Baby
lonians OF the times when Babylon was
the capital Of the known world. The
language of these early Semites is easily
identified by the Assyriologist. With
other characteristics and known facts OF
history it fixes the date of the deluge
tablet as about 2l00 before the time OF
Christ.
Because of its long period in the earth
the tablet was incrusted with crystals OF
nitre, which filled up the characters OF the
ancient text. Besides, the clay was in
state OF decomposition and exceedingly
difficult to handle without destroying the
tablet and losing the precious writings.
For weeks Professor Hilprecht worked
several hours day TO remove the crys-
tails and to put the tablet into state in
which il could be deciphered. Then he
set to work TO translate the writing.
THE TRANSLATION.
This is the restored text, as he gives it
in the official volume:
THE confines of heaven and EARTH
will loosen,
"a deluge | will make, and II shall
sweep away all men together;
but thou SEEK life before the del
uge cometh forth;
[For over all living beingSl, as ma
ny as there are, will bring over

The Violet.

Down in green and shady bed
A modest violet grew.
Its stalk was bent. il hung its head
As il TO hide from view.
And yet il was lovely flower,
It's color bright and fair,
II might have graced rosy bower
Instead OF hiding there.
Yet thus il was content TO bloom.
In modest tints arrayed,
And there difiuse-its sweet perfume
Within the silent shade.
Then let me to the valley 90,
This pretty flower TO see,
That may also learn to grow
In sweet humility.

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON

We hear a great deal of talk now
adays against the proniscuous kissing
of babies.
Why not make the ban broader and
protest against promiscuous kissing in
general?
Now don't be scared away by that.
young folks. I'm not going to launch
into a TRADE against firtations.
I believe with all my heart that the
woman who keeps her first kisses for
the man she marries is going to find
great happiness in being able to bring
Inn that privilege, but the girl who
has the exceptional fineness TO keep to
that ideal will do it anyway, and the
other girls won't. no matter what any
one says. SO I am not going to talk
about that
The custom I'm protesting against is
merely the promfscuous and meaning
less use of the kiss as a casual greet
ing among members of my own sex.
This is an age of extravaganza not
only of money but of habits and man
nerS.
Promiscuous kissing is one of these
habits.
And bad one. to my way of think
ing at least.
A kiss seems to me like one way of
should be kept for the occasions and
the people when and for whom it real
ly does express such a state of mind,
and not used as a sort of "Howde do
to any friend whom you meet after a
little period of separation.
ooh. dear, I actually dread the going
back to college for one thing" 1 heard
a young girl say at the close Of her Eas-
ter vacation.
'Why, what is that?" I inquired in
wonderment. 81 thought you could
hardly wait to be back"
''Well. on most accounts can't" she
said. ''only. Miss Cameron. please dom
think I'm silly. but simply hate the first
Gay because all the girls whom I know
the least bit expect me to throw my
arms about their necks and kiss them,
and when I turn my cheek or hold out
my hand they think I'm hOrrid and
stuck up. And really I'm not the least
bit STUCK UP and I'm really glad to see
them. only I'd so much rather shake

I assured her that far from thinking

Green City Riled On Water
Especial to the Tribune)


Green City, Aug. 31.-Because OF
the litigation between the Green
City and Bijou districts. the flats are
without water at this time and
heavy damage suits will undoubted-
ly result. The Bijou people are
guarding the headgates while water
is said to be going to waste. Attor-
ney Harry Haynes, and other law
yers of Greeley and Denver have
spent some days within the past
week in this district looking up evil
dence.
Feeling is growing rather high
between those who are suffering
from lack of water and those who
are allowing it to go to waste, and
that litigation will result there Is

Mr. McCrery without any aid what

send to the fair at Denver. First
prize has been taken by the Weld
county exhibit for the past two years
and it is not anticipated that the tni-
tial prize will come to this section
of the country this year.
Longmont has had five men work
ing for the past five weeks in round
ing in their exhibit and the odds
against which Mr.. McCrery has been
forced to work have been as great

SEE TEDDY; HAD Rad LUCK
(From Wednesdays Daily


II. l.. Rossman and his wife, ten
ants on the Wallace ranch in Grow
Creek. we're stalled by fate in their
attempts to see Theodore Roosevelt
last Monday. Mr.. and Mrs. Rossman
left their ranch early in the morning
and had not gone more than four
miles when the buggy broke down.
Rossman was forced to demolish a
nearby fence to get wire sufficient to
fix the break and then started on to
town.
They arrived just as the Roosevelt
special was pulling away down the
tracks. Determined that he would
get chance to see the famed hunter
Rossman informed his wife that he
was going to Denver and told her to
drive back to the farm.
Rosman went to the ticket window
and his wife started on back home.
Rosman discovered that he had lost
his pocketbook.
In consequence he was obliged to
remain in Greeley over night and
write his wife for more money.
Investigation at the point where
the carriage had broken down on
Monday revealed the pocketbook
with all Of the money still there.
To put 1t mildly. Rossman is
"sore" and says that he will never
make another attempt to see Roose-
welt unless that gentleman happens
to make special visit to the Ross
man home.

REMINGTON MONUMENT
FOR STATE OF COLORADO

Weld county, the scene of many of
the events of the early days which
have been depicted by Frederick
Remington in whose honor a monu-
ment has been suggested by Theo-
dore Roosevelt, will aid IN raisirf
the sum necessary to this end.
Many of the old timers of Welo
county. including Marshal Eugene
Williams. knew Remington person
ally and rode the range with him in
the stern old days.
Mr.. Williams in speaking OF Rem
fngton today said:
I'VE would be riding along the
range when Remington was out here
with us. Che was hardly % years OF
age then). and something would
strike his eye. He would take out
the pencil and paper he always car
ried with him and would make a
rough sketch OF the scene which he
fancied and placing the paper back
IN his pocket would ride on"
There are many In this county who
rode the range with Remington and
still others who knew well the scenes
which he has depicted and Weld
county appreciates the opportunity
which is offered to aid In the work
OF raising a monument to the men,
ory of the man who has done more
than any other to perpetuate on
canvass the raw life of the early
west.
The first meeting for the purpose
of organizing the Remington fund
will be held at the Brown Palace
hotel in Denver next Friday night.
Former President Roosevelt is
himself handling the funds. and with

toonist. Ia making the plans for the
