PORTLAND, MAY 16, 1913. 1 50c 75 c 3, m ? ? -v J. i m - 1 . v gzS Git ss- -er?. s jsz: A DISTINCT quickening of interest In the writings of Omar Khay yam has ltooii orraioned through Kit-hard 'nIton Tnlly's play, "Omar. Ihe Tfntm;i)er," -nhiih is based upon the life, times and Kubaiyat of the immortal rerslau poet. The whole world is familiar with the tilting quatrams of Khayyam, and for those who speak the Kiisli.-H lousuc they have been best rendered by tho late Kdward I-'itzgerald. whose literary fame rests largely upon Ills exquisite ver sion of th Persian verses. There are many ancient manuscripts Klvinjr the Ruhaiyat in its original form, but unfortunately for students in this country, most of these are housed in the libraries and museums of Ku rope. There is. however, in the pos session of Hector Fuller, Ksquire, of Indianapolis, a splendid facsimile of the famous manuscript of the year A. H. S65 (A. 1. 1160). the original of which is in the Bodleian 1-ibrary at Oxford. Undoubtedly this is the oldest copy of the Kubaiyat extant. Professor Cowell discovered it In IS60 anions an uncatalogiieil mass of Orien tal manuscripts comprising the Ouseley collection. There can scarcely be a more beautiful I'ersian manuscript of its age in existence. It is written in purple black ink upon thick yellow US quatrain. Kxperts have decided that the borders and headings were written later than the quatrains themselves, and in a different ink. It is known that Flt-Jera!d depended a ereat deal UDon the Bodleian manuscript, which enhances its value to the student and bibliophile. In one respect only perhaps does the Fif.Gerald Kubaiyat differ In spirit from the original and -that Is in It mod 1 lied Sullsm. FilzGerald realized that he wan writing for the rather narrow- minded Kuglisniuan of the Victorian era, and accordingly tempered the suf Istlc tendencies of Khayyam. As Rich ard Burton eloquently expresses it: "Ssufism Is the religion of beauty, whose leading principle Is that of earthly, the imperfect type, or heavenly love, lis high priests are Anacreontic poets; Its rites, wines, music and dan cing, spiritually considered, and its places of worship, meadows and gar dens, where the perfume of the rose and the song of the nightingale, by charming the heart, are supposed to improve the heart of the listener." As cverv student of literature and society well knows, the Kngland of 50 years ago was not tolerant of such a frank dependence upon beauty. Al though FitzUerald toned dowrtand sub ordinated as much as he could, the ap parent boldness in much of Khayyam, his work was nevertheless doomed be cause of the frankness that still re mained, the frankness that brought shudders to the Puritanic souls who had not yet wrestled with Ibsen and Maupassant. Not until many years after FitzOerald had completed his ver sion of Khayyam's Rubaiyat were Its recognized and lauded by Rosettl, Ten-1 nUYAL. nyson and Carlyle, and with such dis tinguished patrons the long-neglected quatrains .speedily attained an almost unprecedented popularity. That pop ularity they have steadily maintained, and now. thanks to Mr. Tully's keen drama insight, it is being royally enhanced. "Omar, the Tentmaker" is to open at the ileilig Theater May 2S for four dnys with Guy Bates Post. BUY GROCERIES HERE, NOW!

WIDOWS' AID TO GO ON LAW ('HAWKS MAY 22 IV OT TO AF FECT PHKSKNT LIST MUCH. Judge f'leeton Silent on Policy Intend ed When Juvenile Court Work la Taken Over. Chanpes which will take effect May 22 In the widows' pension law will not affect materially the present list of women being cared for under this act, according to Chief Probation Officer Mcintosh, of the Juvenile Court. The changes will become effective at the same time that the Juvenile Court work is transferred from Cir cuit Judge Gatens to County Judge Cleeton. As yet Judge Cleeton has made no statement as to the policy he intends to pursue in handling the juve nile work or whether he will retain the present force of deputies. - L'nder the law as amended by the last Legislature ?40 a month is the biggest pension that may be drawn. Heretofore there was no limit. The largest pension ever paid in Multno mah County was $50. This was to- a woman who had 11 children. "It was found." said Mr. Mcintosh, "that this family was able to main tain Itself properly with the aid of some of the larger children and by proper supervision ot a friendly vis itor and Investigator." Another change in the rule Is that the children must be ll-ing with their mother If a pension Is to be paid for their support. "Relief is granted," said Mr. Mcin tosh, "only when in Its absence the mother would have to work regularly away from home and children., and when, by this relief, she would be able to remain at home with her children. If a wife receives relief on the grounds that her husband Is perma nently incapacitated lor work by rea son of physical or mental Infirmity. ihe court may require that tho hus 'and be removed from the home. If fjt the wife or children. A new section added to the law will Keep creditors from attaching the Vnoney received as pensions. The .noney thus received Is made exempt rom attachment and execution. A great deal of credit la due." said ir. Mcintosh, to the co-operation of Visiting Nurses' Association and ie Good Samaritan, tt Vincent B and ounty hospitals and a number of phy. lans. who have all given their time help mothers and children back to 1th without the cost of one cent to mother.

The Fort Scott Tribune-Monitor gives a complete account of tho ad dress, which in part follows: "Those of you who have contributed something to be sent to the stricken Belgians need nave no rear that your gifts have not been appreciated. I do not believe any people ever appreciated gifts more than the Belgians appreciat ed the supplies which were sent to them by America to relieve their sur ferings. The Belgians are a people who do not forget. For the past 350 years they have hated Spain, nor has this hate relented in the least measure with the passage of time. And in the same way their love for America, which has been engendered by our gifts, will never die. "Brand Whitlock, the American Am bassador to Belgium. Is the most popu lar man in that county with the one exception of King Albert. The Anr lean legation In London received from Mr. Whitlock a great bag of letters which had been sent to him by the little children of Belgium. These let ters were touching, containing expres sions such as these: 'Mama does not cry any more since you sent us some thing to eat, "We shall never forget you; God bless you,' and 'America has won our hearts.
