King Nabonid, it is proved, built his fortif-

by his predecessors, as the excavators found
brick with four lined inscription Of Herr
glissar, in which this ruler, whose inscriptions
have hitherto been missing, describes himself
as "the accomplished of good deeds"
The excavations made in Assur by DR.. w.
Andrae in the season April to October yielded
still more important results. The complete
ground plan of the Temple of Assur was laid
bare, and the history of the great building
pushed back to the third millennium. B. C.
This makes it the oldest Mesopotamian temple
so far discovered.
The temple was renewed by the King Samsi-
Adad about 1900 B. c., and It was burned down
500 years later under Salmamassar l., who,
however, reconstructed it on exactly the old
lines.

OPINION NOT WAYS FINAL
Pretty Safe to Say That Doctors
Diagnosis Was "Away Off"
in This Case.

The pretty daughter of physician
Is engaged to college student OF
whom her father does not altogether
approve. His daughter is too young
to think Of marriage, the doctor as
serts; the college student is too
young to think of it, likewise. 1t is
out OF the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night
Father says" she summed 1t up:
father says, dear, that I will have to
give you up"
The young man sighed. Then it's
all over?" he murmured, with gloomy
Interrogation. And the girl laughed
and blushed.
WELL" she said, well, you-you-
know that when the doctor gives you
up that's just the time for you to take
moro hope. Isn't it sometimes that
way?"-Reboboth Sunday Herald.

remains, but the temple well built by Sennach-

The Temple Of Assur is shown to have been
of vast extent. The excavations reveal a court
yard surrounded by rooms and two immense
halls. The excavators found here fragments
