l The war between Turkey and Greece
 is again over, and this time it appears
 to be over for good, or bad The Pow CTS have sent a note in which they say l they are ready to fix things up if Greece | Will recall her troops from Crete, adhere l formally to autonomy for Crete and accept unreservedly the counsels which the powers give in the interests | of peace And poor little Greece de- clares she will proceed to recall the royal troops from Crete, will adhere formally to autonomy for Crete and will confide the interests of Greece to
 the hands of the powers.
 Thus Greece is saved from literally bending her knee in suppliance to the Turk, but she is trembling at his power { and is glad of the chance to be 'let down easy" It doth not yet appear 1 how easy she Is to be let down, but it | is probable that she will fare much bet ter with the Powers than she would l with the unrestrained Turk. The end of the tragedy Is just what was fore seen from the beginning, and yet there | is sorrow that Greece hasn't made better showing. What the civilized people of the earth wanted was to see | the Greek soldiers act as the gallant band at Thermopylae acted and die to the last man, if necessary. Of course this was considerable to expect, but when one is not obliged to fight and die himself he is apt to expect much of those who are. The Greeks have not done what it was hoped they would do,
 and the hated Turk has actually won ! much admiration for the way he has said "Allah!" and rushed to death and glory.

UP TO D1TE

Arkansas doesn't intend to let any blasted monopoly do business within her borders without paying for the privilege. The airship has been flit- ting about through her air. and Senator Smith of Union City has offered the following resolution in the State Sen- ate, which was adopted: Whereas, inasmuch as it has been generally reported through the press of the State that an airship has been and is now flying through the air of the great State of Arkansas, carrying freight and passengers, and inasmuch as said air. ship Is plying it's vocation without pay ing taxes to the State of Arkansas; ; therefore, be it resolved, That the com- mittee on railroads be and they are re- quested to consider the propriety oe including airships in the bill now being considered by them proposing to regu- late the passenger, freight and express traffic of this State.
 The Arkansas senate may seem to be rather premature in its move to reg ulate traffic in the air, but 1t will not be long before other legislative bodies will be considering the matter.

AFFIRMATION IN BOSTON

Boston's style has the reputation of being unduly severe, but imagination
 can glow even in that city. There was
 recently discovered in the cellar of the
 spring of water, which water, by mem
 bers and attaches of the club, was per
 palatableness. All who drank of it de-
 clared that no such excellent water had
 ever before passed their lips. Soon it was discovered that the water pos
 sessed medicinal powers of a high or
 der. There was a tremendous demand
 for it among the club-men. All of them
 preferred it as a beverage to any pre- yiously known mineral water. Many of them took a regular course of club water drinking, as a hygienic measure,
 with the most gratifying results. The house committee was forced, by study of the stewards accounts, to consider the propriety of charging for the water as an economic measure. Members had the water bottled that they might send
 it to their homes for the use of their families or present it to friends whom they wished to especially honor. Great as was the demand, the supply was more than equal to it. The water gushed forth in such abundance that, pending the erection of 8 club bottling establishment, a connection had to be

FASHION NOTES,
The seams Must Match.

The beauty of plaids tempts to pur- chasing them, but they are very ditfi- cult to make and you must get almost as much as third more of plaid than of other material, for matching must be accomplished. An unmatched plaid is worse than the face ache, any dress maker who has a conscience will tell youthat, Even plaid skirt lining ought to match at the seams Better by far make the lining deep facing of the straight of the goods than attempt a skirt which will zig-zag into itself at the seams. If you will be patient and not too ambitious, you can make use of plaid without cutting and get very good bodice effect. A tight lining, of

! WHO KISSED TANNEnr

The secret has been let out that in
stead OF the name of Governor Tanner
being Kissed at Nashville on Chicago
Day by the people OF that city and sec
ton. rs some newspapers would have
the public believe, he was Kissed by the
Chicago people who were in the han
when the Governor of Tennessee made
reference to him. According TO the Chi
cago News, that part of the report re-
ferrlng to this most Interesting incident,
says:
The Governor OF. Tennessee had
just spoken OF the million welcomes
he was commissioned to offer Illinois
and said: 4 had half million extra
for your distinguished Governor, but,
like our hopes Of his coming, they
have witcd.'
Then the Kissing began. 1t did
not come from the members of the
county Democracy, who, for Won
der. sat quiet during IT tall and took
no part in it. 1t did not start with
the residents of Nashville, who filled
the rear Of the hall, although some
OF them afterward joined in it. 1t
was begun and carried Oh by the
thousands or so ChiCa Soans who oc-
cupcd the front seats of the big
auditorium. They Kissed good and
hard. as IL it did their souls good, and
with the Misses came catcalls and
1cers. 1t was as il IT. was their first
chance to express their opinion of
Governor Tanner, and they made the
most of it,
The News says that the Kissing Of
Governor Tanner is the common evil
dcnce Of Chioagos disapproval of the
nurse Of the Allen bill and that 1t is
not necessarily confined to this city on
