THE WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS
Tlie recent discovery of art treasures placed in the tomb of
King Tutankhamen of Egypt some 3000 years at,o, is a wonder
ful revelation of the high Btate of civilization that had been at
taint far back in the dawn of history. In the popular thought,
these ages so long ago have been regarded as merely dark times
of ignorance and savagery.
Yet here 1000 years before Christ, the sense of beauty and
skill of craftsmanship had been developed to a point about equal
to that prevailing today. The records of those times indicate the
existence of men of consummate mental power, and philosophy
and arts flourished. '
Yet somehow these wonderful civilizations perished. Until
scholars and oxplon rs began to delve into the old remains, the
human race scarcely realized that back in these remote times
there existed so much knowledge and refinement.
The fall of those old kingdoms raises the question in the
minds of some whether the enlightenment of the present day may
not likewise at some time crumble into dust. All past civilizations,
they argue, have been obliterated, so why not ours? They argue
that the same evils that caused the decay cf these old nations an
operating today, and may cause modern countries to go down i i
ruin.
Yet there is this difference. The primitive civilizations were
built on a false basi3. Enlightenment was developed among aristo
cracies. Eut nothing was done for the mass of the people. They
constituted a force of unrest, that was bound to wipe out the
ruling powers.
The permanence of our civilization can be secured only
through democracy, which shall seek the welfare of all and pro
duco a condition in which the mass of the people shall be loyal
to their government and resist efforts to subvert it.

New York postal officials report that 100,000 Christmas
. greeting cards went astray In that city alone during the holiday
period. Cureless addressing was given as the cause for the bulk
of these cards and letters fniling to reach their destinations.
TIk-so figures form a graphic" instance of the need for greater
card in the addressing and sealing of postal matter. Every reason
able effort is put forth by the postal authorities to see that mail
is delivered, but when incorrect addresses are given and when
names and street numbers are written so carelessly as to be illeg
ible the carriers cannot be blamed for failing to make delivery.
One hundred thousand persons were denied the messages of
Christmas cheer which were intended for them, according to the
figures given. From a practical standpoint little real damage
has been done but when the figures are considered as an indica
tion of the general carelessness which marks the addressing of
mail matter it is readily seen that mnny thousands of far more
vuluable missives also find their way to the dead letter office.

We have read with Interest that some of the bodies unearthed
in the newly-opened royal Egyptian tombs are swathed in
asbestos. The same doubts as to the future evidently perplexed
King Tutankhamen as worry his descendants today.

Drother Dell certainly put the skids under that balmy spring
weather we have been enjoying during the winter months by
hammering the thermometer down to 21 above zero this
morning.
Wouldn't this be a great old world if everybody was as good
as the other fellow who thinks he is best of all.

Dear Fols :
Says the man, Oh, why does woman have so many funny
ways that I simply cannot understand, and will we see the days
when she'll give up wearing summer furs, for which there's no
excuse, and a thous and other foolish things which have no
earthly uxe, save t) satisfy a mind that has a reasoning nil its
own and which every man has always found is uv to le ive
lone?"
Says the woman, "Oh, you funny man, your ways are
strange indeed. You would like to wear a coat of mail and ride a
prancing steed through the streets to get attention, for you
think you known it nil, and that woman has no rikht to bo i.jnm
this earth at all, save to sew on lots of buttons where your pride
lias puffed them off. At our efforts to do something'moi-v. you
simply laugh and scoff."
Then when man has finished talking, right away he'll start
to primp, shine his shooi and change his collar that is ragged,
soiled or limp for he's got a date with woman and he'll wliistie
rs he goes, while at homo the object of his call is powdering
hit 1100 anu ner Heart Is all aflutter as she puts away the can full
of things to make her lxautiful before the eyes of man.
For their talk was only chatter with no thought to blame
or scold, they'd not have each other otherwise for all the nation'
gold.

NEEDLESS TALK
I climb Into the barber's chair to
have him freaco up my hair and trim
it uo In etyle and aa he blithely hacks
away ha talkt of Egypt and Cathay,
of staling wax and tile. I ramble to
the hardware store to buy a double
lolnted door and half a pint of nails;
and ttraightway BUI, the hardware
man, begine to toll of some fool plan
for propagating whales. No matter
where I choose to roam beneath tne
arure vaulted dome some suckers sure
to spill a lot of lauguage wise and
punk the most of which Is arrant
bunk not worth a mark a gill. When
to the teeming market place I turn
my careworn wrinkled face, I do not
talk; and those who serve within the
shops should sell me curtain poles and
mops, a double-breaeted eock, without
a lot of windy wails about the treaty
of Versailles, the tariff on hin boots
or how the French may grab off Ruhr
where that place It I'm not quite
euro or how to capture coots. Some
day mv patience will (live out and I
will bust some sucker's snout and trim
up both his eyes for spouting forth
a lot of bunk when I would buy his
mouldy lunk 'twill tike him by sur
prise. These men who spout forth
rxvelled rot should be condemned upon
the snot and taken from the town to
where the trect prow thick and high,
and there between the earth and sky
be tethered upside down.
