RED ROSES INSTEAD.

The place formerly occupied by one
of Spokane's most notorious saloons

Once out OF midnight sweet with mys-

The wonder of all wonders came TO be.

Angels Of innocence I'm mortal guise
Shall look upon with their faithful

And. looking. see
A greater thing in me
Than the bare figure OF tree
Behold in every limb

For whom stand i'm memory.
Kings Of the east and wise men three
Who brought to him rare frankincense

So do my baisamed branches when they

In the warm airs that move about this

And render forth their homage In per-

TRACING ORIGIN OF WRITING
Early In the History Of Man Symbols
Of Some Kind Were In Com
paratlveiy General Use.

The origin OF writing grew out on
three needs which became pressing
early In the history of man-to recall
at q particular time something that
he has done. to communicate with
over things by a distinctive mark.
There arose. hence. knot signs, mes
sage sticks. marked pebbles. picture
writing ~snd gradually writing itself.
Engraving a visible object on q hard
substance and drawing or painting
marks which could be identified date
from the earliest times to which the
history OF man can be traced. II is
not possible to state the precise orr
gin OF what we know as actual writ
ing or to name the source OF the first
alphabet" The Egyptian system OF
writing Is perhaps the oldest of
known scripts" and the development
OF writing from Photography can with
certainty be ascribed to the ancient
peoples Of the Old World-Assyrian
Egyptian. and Chinese-through the
conventionalization of pictorial SYM
bols. As for the alphabet. wherever
II originated. there seems to be no
doubt that it's first importation in a
form closely resembling that with
which we are familiar was from the
Phoenicians to the Greeks. The
Phoenicians are known to have been
using II with freedom In the ninth
century r. c.. and II is believed from
their mastery OF II that they must
have been in possession Of II for
long time before scholars were able to
trace IL with certainty. AS for the
Egyptians. Psychologists themselves
are at variance as to whether the
Egyptians alphabet was, or was not,
the original. and whether It had any
influence on the development Of the
Phoenician: there are various con-
ficting theories on the entire subject.
The earliest alphabetic document that
can be dated with comparative GER
tainty is the Moabite stone. which
goes back to the first half of the
ninth century b. C.
