ANCIENTS NOT INFERIOR TO
TRAINED MEN OF TO DAY.
Tablets Found in Ruins of Babylon
Cast Insight Into Life of Old
Community That Is Most
Interesting.
That among the ancient Babyloni
ans, 3.000 years B. C., there were law
yers of rare ability, real estate men of
more than ordinary shrewdness in
driving and clinching a bargain and
craftsmen with great ingenuity and
pride in their work is the opinion of
Eugene F. Ware, lawyer, poet and
“Kansan. ’
In an address before the real osfa'e
men of Kansas City some time ago Mr.
Ware made the statement that as long
as 5,000 years ago men w re dealing
in real estate and that those men
were as energetic traders and as keen
in their transactions as he real estate
dealers of to-day, says tin* Kansas
City Star.
Mr. Ware explained the result of his j
research into the history of the Baby j
onians which litis caused him to form
this opinion. While traveling in Eu
rope several years ago he came upon
a number of clay tablets at the Louvre
In Paris. The tablets are specimens
uncovered by excavator who were
searching for records of the ancient
Baby Ion ians. Several thousand of
them have beer, found in the city of
Nippur, capital of the ancient Babylo
nian state of tiiat name. Nippur was
one of the largest cities of Babylonia,
ituated on the banks of a canal con
necting the Tigris and Euphrates riv
ers. The city was iainous as the seat
of worship of the god Bel, chief deity
of the Babylonian pantheon.
A tablet owned by Wr Ware is a
replica of one in the Louvre. It re
sembles nothing so much as a cake of
toilet soap. In color it is pure white
and is covered with letters of the
cuneiform alphabet. The Baylonians
used tablets similar to the one owned
by Mr. Ware for all their writing, and
on these recorded deeds, leases and
other real estate transactions. The
tablets were made of white clay very
much like that used by modern sculp
tors. They varied in size front speci
mens as small as a pea to others the
size of a bushel basket. They were
made by men who probably occupied
the same position in the Babylonian
business world as our modern public
stenographers c \ A lawyer would go
to one of these scriveners on the
street corners, dictate his brief to him
and th(> “stenographer in clay” would
write on the tablet with a three-cor
nered stick. The tablet was then
baked in a charcoal oven and was
ready for use. The writing on the tab
lets was first translated by Sir Henry
Rawlinson in 1854.
The tablet owned by Mr. Ware re
cords a transaction between a jeweler
and a real estate man. The real es
tate man purchased a gold ring with
an emerald from the jeweler and the
ablet records the sale and contains
the jeweler's guaranty of the ring for
'20 years. _

RACE AGAINST TIME
TROOPER LOST OPPORTUNITY BY
NARROW MARGIN.
William Kerr One of the British Sol
diers Who Reached Fatal Spot
Just Too Late to Save
Prince Imperial.
Digging in a mine in Joplin is Wil
liam Kerr, who narrowly escaped be
coming famous. He ran a race against
time and failed, says the Kansas City
Journal.
For years Kerr was a resident of
Kansas City, but it was not until a
short time ago, just when he was on
the point of taking his departure for
the zinc fields, that he divulged his
history. Day after day, seven years,
for one plumbing firm alone, he had
dug. Neither did that concern care to
part with his services, for Kerr, more
generally known as “Scotty,” was a
valuable man in his way.
New pointers in the art of digging
trenches came to Kansas City with
Kerr. His was none of the slow shov
eling which usually obtains. When he
went into a trench the dirt flew in a
constant stream. He had a peculiar
manner of handling the shovel which
brought three times as much work in
a day as the average digger could de
liver. Of course, this ability brought
his extra wages, but even at that he
was a valuable man. No doubt he will
make good in the mines.
But this story is to tell of the race
made by Kerr as a British trooper on
his good mount, the goal being fame.
The opponent was Father Time, boast
ing of no other conveyance than an
hour glass and scythe. Yet Kerr and
the horse lost.
France was not safe for a Bona
parte after the Prussian invasion and
the commune. Napoleon III., dying
heart-broken in 1873, left little but
! his son, a delicate youth of 17. in
j England this lad attended Woolwich,
i thp fnmrms mil? tnrv Ciphnnl fitHntr him.
i self out to become, when times should
! be better, a reigning I^ouis Napoleon.
School life and inaction palled when
• in 1S79 came the chance which he had
I hoped for. England was at war with
| the Zulus. Grudging permission was
j granted the young prince to go to the
| front, but not as a combatant. He
was to be treated more as an observer
and as a guest of the English nation.
So read the instructions to Gen. New
digate, commanding a column.
When there was chance to do some
scouting with a small party the prince
imperial, as he is known to history,
■ went along. Apparently the venture
was destined to he harmless. In fact,
I the party had dismounted for rest
! when a hand of savage Zulus rushed
I upon the soldiers.
Those who managed to reach their
! horses in safety escaped. The prince
! might have escaped also had not his
| horse became unmanageable, die was
: thrown and was killed by the Zulus.
| The troopers as they fled were joined
: by the riderless horse. Shortly, too,
I as they lied they were met by a re
! lief party sent as soon as the prince’s
absence was discovered. These troop
ers of the relief spurred back to the
place where the fight had occurred. In
this party was Kerr. Spur as they
would, death outstripped them. When
they came upon the scene of the con
flict the last, of the Napoleons was
past aid. Kerr himself tells how an
hour or two might have altered every
thing.
An examination of the place of am
bush revealed the body of him who by
the imperialists of France was termed
Napoleon IV. The Zulus had stripped
it of everything save the famous amu- j
let of Charlemagne suspended by a
chain around his throat.
So the thanks of France were not :
for William Kerr, once trooper for her
majesty. The man whom fame passed
hv is digging zinc ore in Joplin.
Hint Worth Knowing.
If one is ever seized with a sudder,
hemorrhage from the lungs, the first
thing to be done, before the doctor
• ts there, is to take dry salt as quick
ly as possible. This often prevents
further bleeding < ntirely. A teaspoon
ful of salt is not too much to fane, pro
vided it is done gradually, so as noi
to choke. The patient should, more
over, keep perfectly quiet and free
H in excitement and stay in u room
not too liot.
The Remedy That Does
“Dr. King's New Discovery is the
remedy that does the healing others
promise hut fail to perform,” says
Mrs. H. K. Pierson, of Auburn Centre.
Pa. “It is curing me of throat and
lung trouble of long standing, that
other treatments relieved only tem
porarily. New Discovery is doing me
mi much good that 1 feel confident its
continued use for a reasonable length
of time will restore me to perfect
health.” This renowned cough and
cold remedy and throat and lung heal
er is sold at J. I. Sturdivant's drug
