REMAINED KING OF HEAVEN
Amusing Hindu Fable Concerning, tho
Gambler Who Succeeded in
Outwittina Fate.

"What Is written on the forehead
must come to pass" this is one of the
major articles in the Hindus' pessimis-
tic credo. Yet even India has its I'M
Observation-Disclosures who deny the
power Of fate. They offer, in scat
tered stories and proverbs, convincing
evidence Of their incredulity. A fable
tells how two fishes named Fore
thought and Readywit escaped the
fshermen, but Fatalist was caught and
persisted miserably. A rather unusual
story tells how tricky gambler out
witted fate. After death he went to
the other world. There Yama, the
judge Of the dead. said to him, "Gam-
bier, on account Of your crimes you
will have to live a wOrld-cycle in hell
but once on a time you gave coin to
a knower Of the Supreme Soul; there
fore you are to be Indra. the king Of
heaven, for 4 single day. So say
whether you will take out first your
period in hell or your period as 1ndra."
II will take out first my period as In
dra," answered the gambler. Then
Yama sent him to heaven, and the
gods. having deposed Indra, made the
gambler sovereign in his place. EN-
ploying his new power the ephemeral
Indra Immediately called to heaven all
his gambling friends and female COM
panions; then lie commanded the
gods: Garry us all in moment to all
the bathing places, both in heaven and
on earth. and in the seven continents;
and enter this very day into all the
kings on earth. and bestow, without
ceaslng, great gifts SO that we may
receive merit accruing from this gem
erosity." Thus the gods did and by
means of these holy Observances the
gamblers sins were washed away and
he obtained the rank Of Indra perma-
nently. When Yama was informed Of
the matter the next day he exclaimed
in establishment. Dear me! This
gambler has cheated us!'-Asio.

DeIectable Siberian Dish.

The Siberians make much Of their
"cold table"-raw fish, caviar, salads.
and that delicious crab whose meat
gives no nightmare, indigestion or
headache.
Their best dish is chicken, prepared
in a most unusual way. Butter Is laid
thickly on a bone; layers of light and
dark meat are wrapped around it;
then the whole Is rolled in egg and
crumbs and baked. It makes small
ham" Of chicken and is very tender.
One must be careful In cutting into it
lest the hot butter squirt out beyond
the plate.
The Russian is a heavy meat eater,
due largely to the fact that there is
an abundance Of game, pheasants be-
ing cheaper than chickens, and IN
some places venison is cheaper than
steak. In the palmy days the Siberian
table must have groaned.-Cody Marsh
in the National Geographic Magazine.

FRANKLIN FARNUM AT REX
LAST TIMES THIS EVENING

FRANKLIN Farnum, the noted mo-
ton picture actor, has in his day
brought to the dust many savage
grizzly of the Rockies, but perhaps
the most interesting chapter OF his
life is the one in which he killed
eight men in as many minutes, and
instead Of being hung for the deed
was allowed to go his way smiling.
Mr.. Farnum shares with Douglas
Fairbanks the distinction of being a
man who risks his neck daily in ord
er to give his followers a thrill.
The picture in which many thrill
ling scenes are shown will be SCREEN
ed for the last time at the Rex the
atre tonight.

Problem of high school facilities
for pupils in some of the rural schools

Pc PROBLEM OF HIGH SCHOOL

Rural Districts Must Send Pupils To Pueblo and Pay

Tax Levy
had to be given up for

school projects had to be given up for
the present
But the pupils ready for the high
school course cannot be neglected,
and so now the worry in some cases
is, how to raise the money to pay the
city high schools tuition.
The old saying that where <here's 5
will there's a way" has counter
part in where there's a need there
a law" and so resort is to be had to a
statutory provision providing for a
special tax levy in a district for needs
similar to the one in hand.
TO take advantage of this means,
application has been made by district
40 for permission TO raise the tax levy
sufficiently to realize 1900 year to
pay tuition in the city of the pupils
there who are ready for the high
school. 1t is pointed out in an appll-
cution that was yesterday made to the
boa-d of county commissioners, that
the school census of the district has
almost doubled, and that the present
assessme ent is inadequate for the edu-
ational needs of the district.
The school board of the district
NAV make an additional levy with the
o. X. of the chairman of the board OF
commissioners, the county assessor
and the superintendent of schools. but
even then, the proposition has to go
to the state tax commission for It's
approval
1t is understood that several other
districts in the county will be Obliged
to take similar action, for the peo-
pie of the country districts are justly
determined that their children shall
have the benefits of high school edu-
cation.
