Scholars hold that the original Gospel of st.
Luke was in Greek. The apostle was a physician
of Greek descent, and his gospel gives evidence
of scholarly attainments. Early chronicles state
that the manuscripts of st. Luke's gospel was
one OF the treasures given to the monastery by
the Emperor Justinian in 527 A. d. The build
ing contains numerous representations of the
apostle writing his gospel, and these appear to
have a close association with the foundation OF
the establishment.
The library is known to contain about 500 an
cient volumes filled with manuscripts in Greek,
Arabic, Syriac and other languages. AS one OF
these great volumes may contain hundreds Of
manuscripts, the wealth Of the library can only
be guessed at, Among it's curiosities is a very
ancient complete manuscript Of the Psalms, writ
ten on its leaves in microscopic writing.
This monastery is the oldest continuously in
habited building in the world. 1t was founded
by Justinian in about sgt A. D., and has been
occupied ever since. It is surrounded by walls
30 feet high, and defended by cannon, for it was
cut off from the civilized world for centuries.
Until recently everybody who entered was hoist
ed by a rope over these walls.
The earth on which the vegetables of the
monastery are grown was brought from the Holy
Land, for there is no soil in the vicinity. IN the
first few centuries of the Christian church the
Sinaitic Peninsula was the refuge OF many Chris
tians fleeing from the Roman persecution. Then
the church trlumphed and for centuries after the
founding of the monastery it was honored by
gifts from enperors and kings.
Then came the ~Mohammedan outbreak. Dur
ing the centuries when the followers Of the
Prophet overran the eastern world this little spot
held out for Christianity.
The convent stands at the foot Of the noun
tain called Jabal Musa, which, according to many
authorities, is the actual mountain where the
Ten Commandments were committed to Moses
by the Lord. The site OF the monastery, accord
ing to this theory, is the spot where Moses de-
livered the Commandments to the children OF
Israel. This Is a disputed question, but there is
little doubt that 1t is an important site, for the
natives in all ages have revered it.
Here passed the children Of Israel during their
40 years wandering on their way from Egypt to
the Holy Land. Here occurred the many mir
acles and wonderful events of the Exodus-the
cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, the
feeding of the people with mama, the miraculous
production of water by Moses, the battle with the
Amalekites. the appearance of the Lord on the
mount, the building OF the Ark, the worshipping
OF the golden calf, the budding Of Aaron's rod.

Vigor Lies i'm fhe Careful Reg
uIdtion OF the BozOeLS.

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, ave.. woman would be a
picture Of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper han that. 1t lies in health. In
the majority OF cases the basis OF
health, and the Of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches. the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things tina women do habitually con
duCe to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is important hat the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and n
especially suited to their delicate re-
Quirements, is DR.. Caldwells syrup
Prpsin, which thousands of women en-
dOrse highly, among them Mrs. G. $.

gegtion so severe that she thought she

manently.

FRESHMEN AND HIGH SCHOOL
MEET ON MONTANA FIELD
THIS AFTERNOON.
NO ADMISSION CHARGED
Meet Will Be Free, Though 1t Is Going
to Be Worth Considerable Tinkle-
Relay Race to Be Prettiest Race in
Several Years.

The. most exciting lesser athletic
meet of the season is offered the peo-
pie of Missoula today; and it's of
! fered on a silver platter at that. The
high school athletes meet the varsity
freshmen at $3.50 this afternoon and it
won't cost anyone a nicke to see the
fray. 1t ought to be a battle royal. The
teams are evenly matched and the
rivalry is keen. Both teams are n
fident of victory and the one that
does win out will have a mighty hard
time of it.
Look the field over and judge for
yourself. The freshmen nave Jimmy
Brown, the conqueror of Hauser of
Anaconda and the fastest sprinter the
interscholastic has developed, now
running in better form han ever, as
their leader. With him in the sprints
are Molchior, member of the Missoula
relay team that won the champion
ship last year, and DoWd. the Victor
champion. The high school has a
dark horse who is hereby announced
as a conner and q contender for indi-
vidual honors in the coming inter-
scholastic. Murphy is the boys name.
He is a freshman who has all sorts of
speed. Whaley and Anderson, the
former a former interscholastic star,
the latter a lately-developed 'speeder,
will run with Murphy.
The distance races are doubtful, but
the high school seems to have the
better Of it. Jones will win the quar-
ter the other places will be contested.
In the field events it seems an even
break. The freshmen will take the
weight events and the high school will
have the edge in the jumps. If you
are looking for good bets in the spring
meet look closely at Duquette of the
high school in the high jump today.
That's a hot tip.
The freshmen get the low hurdles;
the high school will win the high. But
then it's not fair to tell how the meet
will come out. 1t will be so close tina
one event will decide it, unless our
dope is badly off.
The browning feature of the meet
will be the relay race. This one event
will be worth the usual price of adj
mission multiplied by two. 1t will be
one of the prettiest races ever staged
on Montana field, and those of you
who have attended very many meets
at the university will recall some
mighty spirited contests. Brown,
DoWd, Molchior and Lansing will run
against Murphy, .Whaley, Stone and
McHaffie. 1t will be a real race. All
this you get for nothing. The meet
starts at $3.50. Be there unless you
want to miss the best meet of the
early season.

sore eye hard as the bell rang.
Round Twelve.
Refreshed by the minutes rest An
derson rushed and snapped back
Browns head with two hard rights
that landed on nose and mouth. He
followed with a hard right to Browns
wind, making the German emit a loud
grunt. They exchanged light face and
body blows and clinched. On the
break Brown rocked Anderson's head

Round Thirteen.
Both missed their targets and they
fell into a clinch. As they broke An
derson whipped over a hard right to

using his elbow. Anderson sent
Brown reeling against the ropes with
a right to the jaw. The German was
badly hurt but fought back gamely.
Brown went to his knees under a VOL
ley of rights and lefts. He rushed
Anderson to the ropes as the bell
rang. Anderson's round.
Round Fourteen.
Anderson knocked Grown flat on his
back with a right swing to the jaw.
Brown took the count of nine n
was groggy when he arose. He hung
on. Anderson again was excited and
wild and missed several vicious
swings. Brown recuperated wonder
fully and drove in a terrific left swing
to Anderson's stomach. Brown went
down again under another right to the
jaw. He jumped up and was floored
again. Once more he failed to take
the count and vas sent down for the
fourth time for the count of five and
was hanging On at the bell.
Round Fifteen.
Anderson sent the damaged and
sroggy Brown against the ropes with
a Volley of rights. Brown was APP
parently helpless, Anderson sending in
five uppercuts to the jaw, and Brown
went down. He remained down for
the count of nine.
Brown hung on desperately. An
other right to the body sent Brown
down a second time. He rose help
less and fell under a third blow to
the jaw. The referee stopped the fight
While the New Yorker lay prone.
