Market.

Any American bicycle maker who seeks in
formation as 10 the best means Of introduce
ing his wares abroad and particularly in
Italy, cannot do better than consult n report
IN this subjec: made to the state department
The consul says that while the Italians make
a fair bicycle, the people generally prefer
foreign wheels and II the American maker
can supply them In three grades, about
$57. 90, SS6.S5 and Sll5.S0 each, there can be
no question that a good market can be
found. Much depends upon the method

KING GEORGE Is SURPRISED.
Action Of the Christian Nations Against
Him Is Deplored.

A dispatch from Athens says: During an
interview with King George the king said:
~ cannot but express my profound aston
ishment and grief upon learning that the rep
resentatives OF the great Christian powers
not only permitted the Turkish forces to en-
ploy ~ a military base "A sphere they had
taken under their protection in order to i'm
pose upon it neutrality and peace, but also
positively caused their cannons to be fired
upon Christian people driven by outrage and
massacre to struggle for life. liberty and re-
ligion. Nothing in the world till these events
occurred would have induced mt to believe
in the possibility Of such an net"
~ utterly fail to comprehend why Europe,
instead Of following historic presidents In
Italy and elsewhere. allowing the Cretans to
declare by plebiscite what suzerainty they
should desire, should attempt to force upon
them a regime alien to their feelings and in
evitably destined to result in further compli-
cations"

Parents Cannot Dictate to q College
Faculty.
The full bench Of the Massachusetts, gu
preme court handed down a decision in the
famous Lazell seminary case. The seminary
is victorious, the court ruling that its officers
had the right to control the students and re-
fuse them the privilege Of n leave OF absence,
even at the request Of the parent Of the pu-
pill. This was an action brought by Mrs.
Elizabeth Curry Of Ironwood, Mich, to re-
cover damages for breach of contract on the
defendants part In refusing to furnish board
and tuition to the plaintiffs daughter.
The plaintiff placed her daughter as a pu-
pill in the boarding school Of the defendant
corporation under a contract. At the enc OF
six months the plaintiff asked that her
daughter be permitted to spend two days
with her away from school. The request was
denied, but the girl was nevertheless taken
away. The Lazell authorities then refused
to allow her to stay longer at the institution.
Proceedings were then instituted for dam
AGES.

Friendship In Kentucky.

When Judge Pendleton grows reminis-

Mr.. Henry Tompkins walked in he said:
"Mr. Tompkins, your cousin, Louis
Garth. was the only bully l ever saw
who was brave man. He was the most
overbearing man ever saw. He was in
a poker game in camp with Lieutenant
Forrest, brother of General N. b. For
rest, and he called Forrest liar. For
rest pulled his pistol, double barreled
weapon, and, placing it to Garth's
breast. he pulled the trigger. The car
fridge failed to fire, and Garth spat out
a chew, of tobacco and without moving
a muscle said, Lieutenant, you had
better try the other barrel" Forrest
put his weapon up and said, Garth,
you are brave man, and will not
shoot brave man." They were insep.
