TORCH AND MAGAZINE

The London Spectator thought the
British people would not enter on a
course of crime even to preserve the
European concert of the European
peace. So thought the world. The idea
of permitting the sultan to threaten the
peace of Europe every moment could
not be entertained. The natural conclu-
sion was that Crete would be handed
over to Greece ad interim, the arrange
ment to be subsequently ratified by a
European conference. In such a case,
however, the Mussulman mob of Con-
stantinople might endeavor to take ven-
geance upon the Greeks of the capital.
and Add Hamid neither could nor
would restrain their ferocity. If the
Greeks were driven to desperation a
civil war would result which would COM
pei the powers to occupy Constantine
Pile; and that is the predicament they
have all been dreading. Surely every
one is aware of the fact that an exten
sive uprising in Constantinople, at
tended by a massacre of the Greeks,
would be the beginning of the end of the
Ottoman empire. 1t will be strange, in
deed, If some one does not accidentally
or purposely drop torch into the mag
azine and cause an explosion that will
shake all Europe.

when it charges that the Coyote scalp

HER PRETTY BLUE EYES

(written for The Herald.)
In a face that I saw,
The Master had given
The glimpse of an angel
Just waking in Heaven;
Whose beauty sublime
So subtle the while,
The stars were transfxed
BY her ravishing smile.
Yet love seemed dream.
And Fate stood apart.
For none had e'er shared
The wealth of her heart.
SO l paused, and / wondered
As 1 gazed' at the skies,
If the truth could be read
In her pretty blue eyes.

(By William s. Lord)
I was sitting alone one evening
Counting the tireless tick
OF the clock that hung In the corner,
Until drowsiness played me trick.
From out Of the hallway came romping,
As children 80 often will,
A dear little girl and her brother,
And rudely bade them be still.
The face Of fair Ethel grew solemn
And Jamie looked suddenly sad
While his lips asked the pertinent question
Ethel, what makes papa bad?"
How quickly my heart then relented,
And gathering one to each knee
I told them a wonderful story
OF the wonderful days to be.
They listened with eager attention
Until happiness shone on each face,
Ere long they were slumbering sweetly
And my lap was their nesting place.
Then 1 lifted them ever so gently
But that was the end of my JOY,
For woke from the dream was dreaming
And I've. no little girl or boy.

AS rule, in proportion as the possi-
bility of great and sudden wealth in
creases, the element of safety in in
vestment decreases. One of the most
promising opportunities for profitable
speculation is the funding of prospectors
for gold in districts where gold is
known to exist. In order to avoid loss.
however, it is necessary to apply the
principles of insurance, and invest in
numerous localities, so that If loss is
sustained in one instance, gains in other
instances will more than compensate. In
order that the protection afforded by
this principle may be secured, it Is
sometimes necessary to cooperate.
Capital and labor, providing the latter
is of the practical sort, may cooperate
with greater success in gold mining
than in most other fields of industry.
