1.-THE Great Powers should take warning
before It Is too late" said the King. ssThe
Greek nation cannot endure this state Of
affairs much longer, and the situation will
become uncomfortable. The world has never
before witnessed such a spectacle as six
powerful nations, acting In the name of
Christian civilization, surrounding an island
with their warships and starving a noble
Christian people. whose only offence is that
they have fought for their liberties. While
doing this the nations are feeding and up
holding their savage Turkish oppressors.
at seems almost incredible that the egoism
OF the Powers could lead them to outrage
every principle of humanity, ignore and
trample downthe public sentiment Of Europe
and infiict slow death upon the brave Gre
tans. ! cannot understand it."
The lines in the Kings face grew hard and
his big brown eyes flashed, the veins stood
out with painful distinctness In his temples.
sit is hard 10 restrain the natural impulse
OF the Greek army to vindicate the Honor OF
their flag and advance on the Turkish forces
which threaten our northern frontier" he
said. "We did not send our torpedo boats
and troops to Crete until the Turks threat
ened to send more troops to subdue the
Christians in the island, and we did not sent
our army to the frontiers Of Epirus and
Macedonia until a large Turkish force threat!
ened us there.
''Now 1t is said that the Powers are threat
ening 10 blockade Yolo, the naval base Of
our forces In Thessaly. It would be an In
famous thing to blockade Volo while the
Turkish army menaces our territory.
'If 1t Is done 1t will be useless to attempt
to hold our troops back any longer, and 1
will order them to go forward. My mind is
made up. N
'.There is not anoraer people IKE the
Greeks in the world. See how the Greeks
are coming here across seas and continents,
from the most distant ends OF the earth, to
fight for the cause of liberty and ~clviliza'
ton.
''Those men who are marching past the
palace at this moment are Greeks from re-
mote parts of the Caucasus. There are
more than 700 OF them, their Greek ances-
tors having lived in the Caucasus for a cen.
fury.
s'Greeks are coming from every country.
and all this shows what an uncomfortable
spirit moves the Greek race at this moment.
Their national sentiment Is magnificent.
They are prepared TO make any sacrifice, and
no loss can be too great for them.
''They will fight barefoeted; they will fight
even without hore, and, IL this conflict be-
gins, the Greeks will not cease till they have
achieved victory or ths last fighting man has
fallen"

A goodman, fond OF strong drink, re-
piled to his masters warning that he knew
whom TO stop and no ono should ever SEQ him
drunk. Christmas came soon after and Pat
drank freely with some friends. At night he
was ordered by his employer to bring an old
horse and buggy to the door.

said the gentleman to his little son. 81
ordered him to bring Il buggy to tho door
nearly q half IN hour ago."
.'Oh. papa, come and sec what Pat is
doingi' said The lad a few minutes later ms
he rushed In almost bursting with laughter.
HE wants you to come out"
Going to the coach house the owner saw
the coachman In great excitement trying to
force q horse collar over tho head and horns
OF an old Jersey COW that stood quietly before
the buggy. The Irishman had already put
on some OF the harness and tried in vain to
put the collar in place. Said he as the owner
appeareds
Her ears are as shtlff as shticks and Oh
can't make the collar go over thim.'
Don't try any more, but put her back In
the stall. then cote bed yourself. " responded
the owner. "When you can't tell the differ.
ence between an old horse and a Jersey cow
you are too drunk to work."
The mex morning, sober md humble, Pat
begged his employers isardon ami said that
he had taken too much Christmas the day
before. so did not know what he was akoui.
Then he added;
''Whin a mon don't know an old harse
from a Jersey COW, then he don't know whin
he'sRot enough whuskey and it's tonne for
him to shtop. That's what OF name to do"
From that day, nearly five years ago, Pat
has let whisky n strong drink alone. He
Is now a faithful temperance man.

A Colony of Two Thousand Five Hum
dred Moves Il North Dakota.
Two thousand i've hundred Dupkard
colonists passed through Chicago from East
ern States on their way to join the Hdhkard
colonies already established in North
Dakota.
1t will probably be the largest party of
actual settlers ever taken West over one
railroad. Pennsylvania, the State in which
Dunkards ure most numerous, contributes
the largest portion of colonists to this move-i
ment. Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Ohio and Indiana also assist In swelling the
number.
During the last two months, wherever any
gaod-sized community OF Dunkards has
been found, mass meetings have been held,
and letters Of encouragement from brethren
who nave settled in North Dakota aud
tested its soil and climate have been read.
Devils Lake and Canao. where the prin-
cipal colonies OF North Dakota Dunkards
are located, will, be the destination of the
majority OF the latest settlers. New colonies
will be formed, and tho arrival OF over 1000
recruits will result in Tho building OF several
new churches. Fewer than 5000 Dunkards
IRE now in North Dakota to welcome the
new arrivals. They are all farmers, Inc re-
garded as good farmers, at that.
Most OF, IL not all, the families In the
present movement have been engaged in
agricultural pursuits, in accordance with
the canons of the Dunkard Church. There
were several special trains for passengers
aud long rows of freight cars, carrying
personal effects OF the settlers.

left on the field ten bodies that they were I'M
able TO remove. Tho Spanish loss was only
one man killed and one Lieutenant and
twenty-four privates wounded.
General Velasco sent General Rivera,
Colonel Bacalloa, and Lieutenant Terry, in
charge of two companies OF troops, to San
Cristobal. Lieutenant Terry was so badly in
jured, however, that he died on the road.
Speaking to a soldier at San Cristobal,
General Rivera said that he had been kindly
treated by his captors. He complains greatly
Of the pain OF bic wounds, but is cool and
Jelf-possessed. He has one bullet still lodged
In his thigh. He Is lodged at the quarters Of
the Guardia Civil.
Rivera succeeded to the command In Pinar
lei Rio after the murder OF General Maceo.
When Maceo was killed the Spaniards re-
loiced In the belief that there was no man to
AXE his place. Rivera. however, speedily
proved that the death Of his chief did not
mean the suppression Of the uprising in
Pinar del Rio. He continued IN an active
campaign in which heproyed himself a brave
leader and o consummate strategist. Under
his command tho insurgents have harassed
he Spaniards on-every hand, and time and
again inflicted defeat on their troops.
Private advices have been received hero to
the effect that o. @. Crosby. the correspon-
lent Of a Chicago newspaper, was killed
while witnessing the recent combat at Juan
Criollo, near Arroyo Blanco. 1t is said that
he was with the insurgents.
