WELL.--YOU MIGHT REiH This.

At the beginning of this new year
five look back over the numberless
years that have passed, we will
find. that humanity is ahout'the
same that it always was since
history first began to record events
and that questions that were
pressing 5000 years ago still re-
main unsettled. An Egyptian
papyrus recently placed on exhibit
tioon at the University of Penn
sSlvania, dating back 1000 years
before Christ shows there was
contest waging in that country
about freight rates from which the
producers and consumers suffered
alike. Another papyrus dating
88l years after Christ contains a
list Of questions presented to a
high priest in which it is asked if
it is lawful to buy wheat and keep
it long, so as TO raise prices for
the sake Of profit and list of
similar questions affecting corners
such as the people suffered from
today to which the high priest
answered: "No harm in speculat.
ing upon prices except in the
necessaries IF life" The fact is
that the scholarship of the world
has never set itself to work TO
settle the great questions that
underlie the very life of humanity
until the last few years. The
universities have devoted them
selves to literature, art and
specularions concerning a future
world, instead of devoting them
selves to the understanding of the
laws that govern the life of men
in this world. In the last few
years there has been change and
the men of learning are devoting
trained intellects to solving some
of the economic problems with
which the race has vainly strived
for more than 5000 years."
The above is from the Omaha
World-Herald. You may do as
you. please about lit believe or

SITTING ASHES.

used to sisters, but longed for a
brother. The boy was twelve recent

in anticipation of something or other.
The father was busy and the son had
to sift the ashes and care for the
furnace. At this juncture a nurse ap-
reared on the scene and two days
later she came to the little boy.
What do you think you've got?"
she asked him.

The STORY OF RAMAN

Since the time, two or three
weeks. ago, when Woodrow Wilson
said if. any man or set of men
attempted to produce panic in the
United States, he would hang
them higher than Haman," tie
bibliologists have been busy digging
up the story of Hannah and for the
last week he has been given more
publicity than for the previous
decade. In brief, the story is as
follows: - ...
The story of Hannah and the
gallows upon which he was hanged
is told in the concluding chapters
of the Book uf Esther, beginning
with the rise of Hannah in the
favor of King Ahasuerus. who. the
Bible says, reigned from
India even unto Ethiopia" When
Haman had Strengthened his position
with he king he sought to destroy
the Jews in the l27 provinces over
which Ahasuerus ruled.
AT er Humans plans were made
know to Queen Esther, she, -
ing upon the advice of Mordecai, her
father, induced the king to accept an
invitation to banquet which she
proposed to give to Hannah and the
king. When Hannah received the
invitation he was so eiated W; tn
the honor of dining alone with the
king and queen he went home
gathered his wife and kinsmen
abou; him and boosted of his
position at court. However, he
declared: his power was not safe
SO long as Mordecia was honored
by Ahasuerus.
Hanau's wife, Zeresh, feeling
confident of her husbands ability
to carry out his plans to destI
the Jews, suggested that Hannah
build a gallows SO cnhits (about
rs feet) high and on the following
day to inouce the king to hang
Mordecai on it.
Work on the gallows apparently
was rushed for the Gext day, it
was ready. r.. ..
At the banquet, which was
described as banquet of wine the
king was 20 we'll pleased he told
Esther to ask what she would, even
to half of his kingdom. The queen
then disclosed to him the details
of Humans plot to, kill TIE Jews
through the provinces. The situa.
ton apparently was a warm one
for Hannah, for the narrative says,
Then Haman was afraid before
the king and queen"
Ahasuerus stalked into the pal ace
garden to reflect. leaving Hannah
and the queen alone. When he
returned he evidently had decided
what to do, for a courtier prompt.

continues:
