tama, the last Buddha. All, equally
with the huge reclining Buddha form
part Of the religious rites of the
Buddhists. For the essence of Bud.
dhism consists in the struggle to be-
come like Buddha. to attain his per.
lection by obedience to his precepts.
To do this 1t is necessary always to
have Buddha in mind. and it is for
this reason that every city in the Bud
dhist world is literally crowded with
MS Images. Buddha himself is not
deiied; potentially every Buddhist
may attain his perfection, but only by
the eternal imitation of his practice.

Bible on Long Trip.

Chicago-In the fall of 1900 Ma
sons of Chicago started Bible on a
long journey. 1t is to be kept for a
time in the possession Of at least one
lodge in every principal city Of the
country and ultimately returned to its
starting point to be placed among
the precious archives Of the Chicago
Masons.
1t Is expected that 25 years will be
required for the Bible to complete its
passage from lodge to lodge until all
the blank pages provided for the rec
ord of its custodians shall have been
filled. A lodge in Columbus, O., sent
q special train to Springfield in that
state to convey the travelling Bible to
a lodge there, where 1t was received
with impressive ceremonies. Before
reaching Columbus 1t had been in the
possession Of lodges in Cincinnati and
Dayton.

killing one of these years, just as
sure's shootin, and when do I'll put

Fike has staked s175,OOO in FIVE
years on the chance that there would
be enough rain and seasonable weather
to give him a bumper crop of wheat

wrong, either 1t didn't rain enough to
start the wheat right, or 1t didn't
freeze enough to give it a good stand,
or the high winds blew most of 1t out
OF the ground, or the drought hindered

five years to return him nearly all he
had ventured. and in several of the
years he made profit of mere $780,
