| e - THURSDAY' SEPTEMBER 26, 1912. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER TRACE ALPHABET FAR BACK { were unknown in Phoenician. Bellef That It Had Its Origin Wllh‘[ the Phoenicians Proved to Be | a Wrong One. In a lecture at the Royal institute 2rof. Flinders Pictrie attacked the ong acepted theory that th2 origin of | he alphabet is to be found in Phoeni- \ | sia, whence it came from Egyptian 1ierogiyphics. According to Professor Petrie, the -esearches of the last twenty years 1ave shown that signs were earlier han pictures and that it was the sign hat survived to become the alpha ind beta of one ¢ ation and the A B C of another. Just as the philologist had dis ;red one entire system of la i0 the alphabe an had discovered n the diversity of alphabets an orig- nal prototype of all. In Professor detrie’s w “The Phoenicians are seople of i compared with hose who wro ns that are of all it to po said the profes- ‘ptologists and others vere indebted for these signs, and heir development was werked out on | hese lines. Flatnose made a pot and »ut a mark on it to show that it was | iis. In time, because it was his mark. “e sign stood for Flatncse himself, ind then the sign became aftached to F und irrespective of the thing it- el Gradually the wearing down vent on until the sign stood, not for 1 sound, but a syllable, and then for | 1 letter. The signs, of course, were not an iphabet; that did not arrive until serhaps 1.000 B. C., whereas signs vere found in early prehistoric Egypt, srobably 7.000 B. C. Proofs of this | :rommon origin were plentiful, for the signs spread by trade far north and | south, and appeared similarly in a or, that the boys told a bear story. tunic, ipberian and Karlan, ana ye!l i ADDED TO THE GQOD TIME| Bear Story, Though Short, Was 3 Thing of Consequence to Those Silent Mountaineers, There were six stalwart pioneerz who settled in Upshur county, Wesl Virginia, long before the war, when | there wasn't “a stick amiss” and | hunting was good, They were brothers and their name was Phillips. Each fall after hogkilling time they held a family reunion, at whichk a feast fit for the gods was partaken of in silence, except for the blessing which was always asked by the eld est brother. They did not believe in much talk or levity. When they spoke it was usually in monosyllables. After dinner they would sit around the big | log fireplace, tilted pack in split bot | tom chairs, and smoke their corncot | pipes in silence until it was time tc g0 home and do the chores. At one of the reunions something »f unusual interest occurred—one of While sitting around the fire smoking one | of the brothers pushed up his sleeve, | exposing a badly lacerated arm. The +five gazed at it in respectful silence | for a few moments. Their experience n the mountains told them that their brother had a hand to hand fight with a bear. One of them opened the snsuing dialogue with: “Um-mph—bar?” “Yea-ah.” “Whar?” “Over thar,” jerking his thumb sack over his shoulder in the direc | tlon of Beech mountain. After this bear story of five words | they smoked in silence until it was | time to go home. For months after | that reufion they would remark to ]vismng neighbors that they had “a powerful fine time at Eben’s re union.” It was remarkable, because they nad had a bear story in addition to the blessing, which was a powerful ot of talk for these silent men. | | | Tried Trick Once Too Often. | A man of seventy-five, who of re | cent years had extorted money tromf charitable persons, in Paris, by pre tending to commit suicide, has fallen | a victim to his ingenuity. He used to fasten a rope, attached to the ceiling, | about his neck with an easy runnlngi noose. Then, having knocked over| the furniture, he would overturn the | chair on which he was standing and | remain hanging by the rope. Alarm-| ed by the noise, the neighbors would; rush in and cut him down. After be | ing revived he would depict his state | of distress in such moving languags | that money would be ferthcoming for his relief. Later he would repeat the | trick in another house, invariably with success. But a few days ago, | when he was carrying out the trick, there was a hitch. No one went tc ais help and he remained hanging, | being eventually cut down dead. Footstool Church, Mr. Raymond Unwin told a story ra | lating to the building of St. John's | church, South Square, Westminster. | The architect, he said, was reputed to | have worried Queen Anne about the | design. Her majesty at length losing pa- tience kicked her footstool over and re- The architect fulfilled the royal wishes and the church was built as it stood today—with corners protruding up-| ward like the four legs of a stool.— Reynolds's Newspaper. marked in anger: “Build it like that!" | ; | THE FINISH | THAT STANDS THE SPEED Unit System of Baking IS THE MODERN WAY TO REFINISH YOUR OLD QAR ‘When you are ready to put your Automobile away for the winter, run it in to our factory or ship it in and we will give it a new finish that will last the balance of the Life of the Car.
