OLDER THAN OLD KING TUT.

Thirty-three hundred years have slipped along
the backward path Of time since Tut-Ank-Ahmen
was laid in what was intended to be his eternal rest
ing place. These centuries nothing compared
to the mitless stretch in either direction implied
by eternity. "For 1000 years in Thy sight are
but yesterday when it is passed. Just now the
dried up, withered remains of that great king are
again viewed by mortal eyes.
Surrounded by what is said to be the most magni-
fcent of tombs. Encased in miracles wrought in
gold. Studded with precious stones. Wearing the
crown Of Egypt and its gods. Thus the kings

observation such know little of in these days.
That alone is enough to awe But something else
was found that will excite the imagination more than

of friends poem, in which she depicted the meet

Ahmen and the Egyptian maiden who his queen.

ception of the love that animated the young couple,
terminated tragicay by the early and unexpected
death of the youthful monarch.
When the sarcophagus opened, and the body
exposed, above the golden the head of the
sleeping king found the remains of a wreath of
natural flowers chapet that bore with it
of sincere love and affection than all the gold and
jewels that make up the millions of treasure found
in the tomb. Whose hand put it there? Did the
queen take her last leave of the she loved and
in the silence of the night and the pognancy of her
grief lay that floral tribute the brow of her lost
love? Or did some weeping slave slyly pay this last
devoir? Who can say?
Those flowers, dust after so many centuries,
give proof that and women have
changed little in all these long years. Hearts beat
then as now. Romance had it's little day. Love and
life and death ran in circles then as now one follow

Golf and Temperament
From tn. New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Amended to a recent work on the
rules OF golf Is a list of "don'ts Tor
those who imperfectly understand the
delicate etiquet OF the game. IL
may be Judged by these maxims that
the golfer is somewhat supersenst
tive to distractions. II golf bag Hes
within the range of his vision while
he Is making a putt, II he does not
know the exact position OF every otner
member of foursome while he Is
driving, the shot is missed, and. in all
probability, the match Is lost.
Not even opera singers are so
completely possessed by tempera-
ment as golfers. Unlooked-for sights,
unexpected sounds, throw them on
their game and plunge them into
fury or despair. Not even the saw
age and voluble berating OF caddy
can adequately relieve the awful
nerve strain that Is caused by the
shuffling Of an opponents feet or the
swish of his partners practice stroke.
Nevertheless there are many peo-
,ple who play very good golf indeed
even in the midst of alarms. Among
these. are the professionals who
make a business OF the game and
who have. learned to concentrate so
thoroughly on what they are doing
that their minds are not to be dis
tracted by anything short OF pistol
shot Immediately behind them. And
there Is really no explainable reason
why the golfer should be any more
temperamental than those who play
any other game which REQUIRES CO.
ordination.
When golf becomes. as 1t Is GER
tain to, so popular that It will be fol-
lowed by galleries" comparable In
numbers and character with baseball
audiences, the golfer will discover
that what he has deemed the absolute
necessity for silence and order Is
largely imaginary. The time may ar
rive when amateurs and professionals
alike WILDE greeted with boots and
catcalls when they go up to tee off.
that they will have to keep their eyes
out for flying pop bottles and their
ears open for cries Of Take him out"
or Watch him dub it." When that
comes to pass they will discover that
they can still play the game and while
playing it remain as oblivious to. the

are the athletes whose meter is base

FORD AS A FACTOR IN OMAHA.

One of the most impressive sights in connection
with the Transmssissppi Exposition was the march

well he might feel proud, for more splendid body
of men marched under the American flag.

more important. Eleven hundred employees will go
in and out Of the Ford plant in Omaha each day;
each month they will carry home $145,000 in pay,
all of which will find its way into local business
Most Of it will go to the neighborhood grocery or
