THE SKULL IND THE BOOK


reaching peace pact of all history have
been inserted provisions whicn appar-
emily are trivial and almost frivolous,
yet rightly understood they take on q
significance as weighty as that which
attaches to the provisions redistribut-
ing European territory.
When the painstaking reader who
fought down a tendency to sleep while
he was scanning the official summary
of the peace treaty came to the follow
ing clause he smiled:
Germany is to restore within six
months the Koran of the Calph 9th
man, formerly at Medina, to the King
of the Hejaz, and the skull of the Sui
tan Okwawa, formerly in German
East Africa, to his Britannia Majesty's
govermments
To imagine the Koran of the Caliph
Othman as simply a priceless relic, is
to miss the real point. To the true be-
lever among the Moslems the Koran of
the Caliph Othman has higher valid
ity than any of the historic bibles has
to the Christian. 1t is "the one and
only" authority worth considering
when dispute arsise regarding the
teachings of the Prophet.
Caliph Othman was both kinsman
and son-in law of Mahomet. Follow
ing the death of the prophet contro-
versies naturally arose over the con-
flicting versions which had resulted
from carelessly copying or from trans
mitting the Koran texts orally. There
fore it behooved the CaIiph to straigh-
ten out the tangle and TO bring har-
mony among the jaring sects. To the
holy city of Medina he summoned
Zaid Abu Thabit, who had been am
manuensis to Mahomet, and ordered
an authentic text prepared. Mahom-
cts secretary, aided by three learned
scholars, produced a text of which three
copies were sent to Damascus, Kufu
and Basra. Thus in the year 664 the
words of the prophet were established
with certainty and all earlier copies of
the Koran were committed to the
flames. For more than 1900 years
Othman's text had been preserved in
Mahomet's holy city of Medina and had
been duly venerated.
General Allenby after conquering
Palestine, approached Medina and the
accursed Enver Pasha, tyrant of Tur-
key retired to the north With him he
took the Koran of the Caliph Gilman
But why, it will be asked, should the
book be restored to the King of Hejaz?
Four years ago there was no King of

The first shot out of the box of the
new herd district was the taking up Of
two of Charles Grants horses by Les
ter and Harry Gage. Not liking their
Imprisonment the horses escaped the
first night, and one of them was found
dead next morning near by. The
cause of death is a mystery. He was
probably a sensitive horse that could
not stand the disgrace of being taken
up. and so committed suicide.

ing to the advanced age of this old

was too onerous for them, and hence
the sale in it's present condition at

purchaser.
Mrs. John l. Matson was so op-

lives in Dietrich that has a herd law
which no one observes in the slightest
degree. Her shade trees planted and
nurtured with care are all destroyed,
as are all the rest of the exposed trees
in the village. She always has a good
garden, which would be much better
if so much of her time wasn't occupied
in chacing the marauding cows and
horses away. The stock breaks every
thing down. The cows will even try
to get through the woven wire and the
horses to climb over the barb wire on
the top. She wishes in her annoyance
and distress that she was man so she
could raise - with the stock and the
owners. And the reporter hasn't the
leart to blame her for feeling so.
