KING TUTS VAULT MAY YET
 DIVULCE A WRITTEN STORY

VALLEY OF THE KINGS, LUXOR, Egypt, March 31.-Among the wealth of antiquities found in the tomb of Tutankhamun no trace has yet been discovered of a single scrapt of papyri that will throw any light on the ob- scure history of Egypt during that monarch's reign. Indeed, not even the hieroglyphic inscriptions and pictorial legends on the walls of the mortuary chamber reveal any ineligible facts concerning the life and achievements of the King who ruled the Nile 1850 years before Christ.
 Most of the 30 or more other royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings are adorned with innumerable sculptures, bas-relefs, paintings and tablets illus trative of the periods in which the Pharaohs reigned These inscriptions and paintings are, moreover, of a much higher merit than the few which have been found in Tutankha- nuns death chamber They have been of invaluable service to the American and British archaeoligists in piecing together, with the aid of papyrus documents found in the tombs, the fragmentary history of the Old and New Empire.
 Perhaps next in value to the num- my and sacrophagus of Tutankhamun himself are some thirty-five syca- more chests found in the funeral re- pository. The archaeolgists are hope ful that some of these may con- tain documents of papyrus which will reveal some new facts regarding the little known events of the departed sovereign's short reign. If found, they will be given to Prof. James Brestead, the great Egyptian scholar of the University of Chicago, for de- cipherment and interpretation.
 Opposite the aperture to Tutank- hamun's burial vault is a large paint ing of the King drawn in the style of the reign of Akhnaton, the heretic sovereign, with high sloping head and wearing helmet and leopard skin.

This has formed the subject of much study and speculation by Howard Carter and his American associates There is no indication that Tutankha- faith-the worship of Aten the god of the solar disc-nor anything to con- trovert the known fact that he led Egypt back to the old faith-the wor- ship of Amen, the great god of Thebes Tutankhamun is represent ed in the painting as worshipping Osiris, god of life and resurrection, in the traditional manner.
 The news from London that the in fluence of the British Government may be exerted to prevent the re- moval of Tutankhamuns body from it's burial place to a museum was re- ceived here with satisfaction and re- lief by Egyptians and others who are averse to what they term "body snatching" by foreign invaders. They declare there is as little justification for disturbing the ashes of the an cient Pharaoh as there would be in removing the dead from one of the royal tombs in Westminster Abbey.
 In this connection it is pointed out that King Amenophis, who is inferred short distance from Tutankhamun, specifically requested, by written tablets in his sepulchral chamber, that his ashes be not disturbed. The plea, however, was not observed until the British authorities in Egypt in terevened and succeeded in having the Kings body returned from the Cairo Museum to it's original resting place in the Royal Metropolis. It is now the only royal mummy visible to tourists. It rests in the heart of the living rock of the Libyan noun tains, through which a great tun- nel was pierced by the ancients

hot furnace that God walked with His faithful servants.
 So the trials of the life and the work take the missionary to God, to depend upon Him as never before. The resultant power that is manifest ed in the believer is the reaction of character that makes a better Chris tian worker.
 Now talk about trails!
 Everyone is the better for a vaca- tion-a change of place, and accord ingly the missionary stands up bet ter under the demands of the work if he refreshes the body and spirit and rests the mind by an occasional "dog mush" or hunting trip, or by camp ing in the hills.
 In the summer with pack, knife and gun, over niggerhead flats and moss covered hill tops the way leads one to the haunts of the moose or the caribou and the bear, or if you choose into the high, stern crags where the Bighorn gambols happily.
 It is narrow trail, a trifle wider than a mans foot, and often in the moss it is lost and in the niggerheads it is bewildering and 1aborious. Greeks and rivers must be forded and many falls may be had on slippery rocks in swift stream. But it is a good trail for it will take you into the heart of the hills and lead you home again.
 But winter comes and the frost king seals the streams and mantles the in summer were traversed with toll and sweat, the toboggan or sled glides at six miles an hour, and travel on the streams is the easiest of all. The trail may be broken out and hard from frequent use, and the team will Init it off" at ten mile clip to work off steam, or perhaps six inches of new snow lies in the trail. Then the musher goes ahead on snowshoes, breaking the trail, and the dogs trot gaily in his wake, apparently enjoying the joke hugely.
 Instead of leaving home it is better to take the home along. So into the big basket sleigh go robes, pillows and carbon stones, then the home in sev eral distinct personalities, and more robes on top.
 Over the hill and far away, With a skookum team and an elegant
 sleigh.
 Goodbye little house! You look for
 lorn.
 Sit tight Little Home! Mush on.
 Mush on.
 Vacation! Now we will have one. About thirty miles apart are com fortable claims where the mail carrier stops. But we are under no contract, neither bound by schedule. We will stop wherever it best suits our fancy. Everything necessary to fitting out the new home is on the sleigh. It matters not where we go we will be at home every night.
 Joyce Kilmer has said something about this kind of vacation and has said it very grandly:
 "If you call the Gypsy vagabond
 I think you do him wrong, For he never goes a travelling but he
 takes his home along, And the only reason road is good, as
 every wanderer knows, Is just because of the homes, the
 homes, the homes to which it goes.
 Yes, the trails are all good. God bless men who made the trails.
 The Natives call the Christian life "The White Trail" God grant us grace to help them-one and all, white and Native-to "mush' the white trail and to go, in the concluding words of Kilmer's poem to "the golden town where golden houses are"
 Blessed is He who made "The White Trail.'

FISHING BOATS OF DEAL
 LAND HEAVY CATCH

LONDON, March 31. - One of the largest harvest of sprats ever re- corded was caught by Deal fisher men lately, and is estimated to num- Der 2,500,O00 fish. Owing to the recent heavy gales the prats became massed in abnormal quantities, and the fishermen had great difficulty in landing their catches, so weighted and choked were the nets. Many of the boats reached shore almost sub- merged.
 Thousands of hungry seagulls swept down on the floating nets and devoured many of the fish, despite the efforts of the fishermen to drive them away. The poor of the district benefited by the generosity of the Deal men.

Let US assume, for the purposes,
Of this article, that the millionaire's
wife has decided to let her husband
make his trip across the Atlantic
alone. and to while away the
months Of his absence with her
mother-in-law in the humble shack
amidst the grandeurs Of Nature in
the Rocky mountains that had such
a profound influence in moulding
the character of her rough-hewn,
silent mate.
I am speaking, of course, Of a
millionaire, and not million heir.
AS I belong to the latter category
myself, / naturally prefer to talk
Of the former.
Millionaires are all born, take
1t, in shacks in the Rocky NOUN
tains. Million heirs are much less
interesting.
Altogether He's Safe.
There is no need for us to pry
into the behaviour of the subject OF
our study during the voyage across.
The opportunities Of giving rein to
his idiosyncrases are too limited to
justly our curiosity. The ball room
bores him and If he is approached
by the confidence trick men, he is
sure to beat them at poker before
the night is out, and SO put an
end to the possibility Of an ad-
venture.
I have never known a real mil
lionaire to be victimized by these
gentry although it has been tried
often enough. He is never beaten
in a game of wits. His heart Is
his weak spot.
Once in London the problem of
how to get rid of his liberal al
lowance Of pocket money becomes
comparatively simple. There are
opportunities at every street corner.

Some American millionaires, of
