THE WAR IN EUROPE.

Greeks and Turks Fight Each Other Saw
agely-An Europe May BE Involved.
LONDON, April 2O.-The situation on
the frontier has not, according to adj
vices, been materially modified. Both
the Turks and the Greeks are resting
from their tremendous exertionS OF
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The
troops of Edhem PaSha We're half dead
with fatigue and hunger when the
firing slackened Sunday night Most
of them flung themselves down where
they stood on the bare ground to sleep.
The Turkish commander-in-chief pru-
IDENTIFY decided to allow the army to
rest yesterday. AS details come in it
becomes more and more apparent that
the fighting around Milouna pass was
of the most stubborn and savage char
acter. The Turks fought like devils
and the Greeks resisted in the spirit of
their ancestors. The most inexplicable
fact in connection with the whole en-
gagement is the comparatively small
number of killed.
There is said to be a sharp difference
of opinion between the military powers,
Russia, Austria Hungary and Germany,
and the maritime powers, Great
Britain, France and Italy, as to the
most expeditions and least violent
methods of compelling a cessation of
hOSt1l1U1eS, SnOulQ THIS result nOU %
reached by the exercise of diplomatic
pressure at Athens and Constantinople.
The likelihood is that the force to be
employed by Europe, if a resort to
force becomes necessary, would be by
sea, as the contingencies of military
intervention might be more serious
than the hostilities now. in progress.
At the European capitals little troubl
is anticipated at present, but it is con-
coded on all sides that conditions may
arise at any moment which would in
flame all Europe, and lead to general
war. The sympathy of the masses of
England, France and Italy is I'M
doubtedly with the Christians Of
Greece and great pressure will be
brought to bear on the governments of
those countries to assist the Greeks in
the straits in which every one expects
them to be. The feeling of the masses
of Germany, Austria and Russia can
not be expressed so freely, but the mon
archs of those three nations seem to be
determined to uphold the sultan, the
| Oriental type of despotic absolutism.

HAPPY AS THE DAY is LONG

Through the sunny bygone days OF early
life,
In a garden sweet and wild,
Knowing naught of sorrow - knowing
naught of strife
Played 1 little child;
Sporting with the sunbeams, romping with
the breeze,
Dancing to the redbird's song,
Laughing at the blossoms falling from
the trees
Happy the day was longi
This has been my motto. through the feet
ing years:
Never mind the shades of night,
They but show there's SunShine-Never
mind the tears,
They are only dew-drops bright.
Mid the blooming flowers of the summer
day,
This is still my care-free song:
Earth is but garden, I'm a child at
Happy the day is Iong,"
In the royal garden of the Prince of Light,
Flowers blossom through the years;
Yet each shifting shadow hints of earthly
night
Ev'ry dew-drop hints of tears.
There, throughout the endless, golden sum-
mer day,
This shall be my heartfelt song:
-Aeaven's but a garden, I'm a child at
play
Happy as the day is Iong!"

worth, N. h, Arrested in Montreal
MONTREAL, April 2o.-Joseph E. KEEL
1y, accused of the murder of Joseph A.
Stickney, cashier of the Great Falls

ing taken to the central police station,

being questioned, he declined to say
anything about the murder, except
that he had an accomplice. He added

ANNUAL EGG ROLLING.

Fully Fifteen Thousand People in the
White House Grounds Monday.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The annual
egg rolling festival in the white house
grounds, which always occurs on the
Monday following Easter, took place
yesterday. It was an ideal spring day,
warm and balmy. At noon there
were fully 5000 children on the
spacious lawn in the rear of the
executive mansion rolling eggs, rollick-
ing up and down the hills, and playing
about the fountain. At three o'clock,
when the Marine band began to play,
there were fully $4,000 people in the
grounds. Mrs. Mckinley, with Mrs.
Sexton by her side, sat at the window.
She was joined for a few minutes by
the president, who nodded his acknowl-
edgments to the frantic waving of
thousands of handkerchiefS.

jam was breaking, ard In few hundred
seconds the wreck would be upon him
He remembered how fearful the tu-
multi was, and how Jake Leary had
lost his footing the previous spring
when the logs went out When Jake's
foot slipped he was a doomed man;
there was yet time for Jerry to turn
and run for life. But the wind swept
down and buffeted him, and its rage
entered his heart.
The huge mass of timber and ice
ouaked and groaned and the noise of
the surging water was louder. Jerry
glanced again at the pitiful figure on
the rock, and sprang toward it, run
ming as the watchers had never seen a
man run before. He shouted to Jim to
stand ready; and Jim, though he could
not hear, understood. With his friend
near he began to recover from his
numbing terror. AS the jam moved
with it's first long, grinding swell, Jerry
reached him.
Come on! That's the way. Here ye
be- old fellow. Don't let go. Eff you do
EFF you do"
Now there was a sharp, spill tting, tear
ing sound above the dull roar, which
told Jerry that the jam was breaking
from top to bottom. He leaped faster,
his race mercer anu very Willie. Jill
could feel the iron frame gather itself
convulsively. Only few hundred feet
now, and they would be safe. All!
That was nobly done. The men cheered
wildly. Jerry ran like deer before the
dogs, but the water pursued even more
swiftly. There was a fearful crash and
| a cry from Jim. He saw a black wall of
water and Jagged logs hidden in foam
rolling down upon them. The ice be-
| meath Jerry's feet split to right and
left; it was moving, and he stumbled
twice. But with three jumps he could
reach the shore. One brave leap, an
other, and the ice cleared. Now a wide
lane of water swirled between him and
| safety. George and the doctor were
standing waist deep in the stream to
| help him, and he gathered his strength
for that last leap. The gap widened and
he saw it could not be done with Jim
as handicap. He must toss the boy
over first. Jerry's foothold was now
only pitching block of ice, caught on
temporary obstruction. As they bal

rose, increasing to a violent wind storm
as the day wore on. The softened ice
began to pound against the jam from
above, ana the loggers stood idly about
waiting for the break. On the Windfal
the men could scarcely stand against
the raging, shrieking wind. Late in the
day DIR. Mason came, asking for jim.
Behind him. Pierre struggled, breath
less and pale.
boy on river!" he cried. Come!
Hurry"
Running to the bank, they saw Jim
clinging to rock far up the stream.
Evidently he had wandered along the
ice, ignorant of danger. They beckoned
him wildly, but he was now panic
struck, and would not move. The shores
opposite him were rocky and steep, and
spiked with drift wood. The men stood
at the only spot where he could reach
land. But none offered to go to him in
the face of almost certain death.
AS they waited, there came sudden
pause, a moment when the wind rested,
and the Oswegatchie doomed less
Overwhelmingly against its barriers. 1t
was the moment to rescue him, and
the men faced each other. Then they
shrunk back with pale faces. Why
throw away their lives?
A moment later the wind swept
with grim roar along the path which
it had moved through the forest 40
years before. The great Windfall was
like a tunnel opening on the river,
where already the log jam creaked
and swayed. Jim might live to be
swept into that whirlpool with its
craunching timbers. Sickened and
trembling, they awaited the dreadful
event; these men who braved dangers
daily were cravens now. There was
one-one only-one more a man in such
a storm; but he was mile away in the
| upper camp.
They thought of Jerry with COM
mon impulse.
He'll be wild. He'll say we was a

go after Jerry"
The speakers paused, for along the
footpath Jerry was coming rapidly to-
ward them. The great muscles of his
| arms and chest knotted beneath his red
shirt as he breasted the wind. His sup
pie stride brought him quickly to the

anced, Jim chung to his friends neck,
and the big fellow smiled at him with
his old, sweet kindness, though to-day
his eyes were brilliant and his face was
strong.
''All right, old man. he said. let
go and Doc1l catch We. Don't be scarf"
The wind, water and logs screamed
and crashed all about them.
''Now!'' cried Jerry, and threw Jim
straight into DIR. Mason's arms. They
saw him stagger in the attempt to re-
cover his footing. Again and again he
clinched his hands and crouched. But
he could not jump. The ice, oscillating
from his motion he threw Jim,
sagged and careened beneath him, until
the steady feet failed and he fell face
downward. The men groaned aloud; a
few turned away, and others ran into
the water to help him. He had been
swept beyond human aid, however.
and they could only watch him die.
They saw him whirled into the water,
as the block of ice broke into a thou
sand fragments; once he faced them
and waved his hand. In his face was
the light they had seen as he strobe
along the path ten minutes earlier.
His arm sank, and he was carried into
a clear place. All about, ice and logs
plunged and reared through the foam,
but some within of wind or current held
them from the drowning man. The
river he loved was kind. For an in
slant they saw his blond head above
the water and his hair gently lifted by
the stream. Then he sank quietly, and
the logs hurled themselves over the
spot where he had been.
When DIR. Mason tells this story he
says that, as he views it, Jerry was
