"A child was brought to a Yorkshire
vicar for baptism. AS ne was told that
the name was to be Noah, he naturally

But Noah is not a girls name" said the

father. An adjournment was made to
the vestry to settle the point The father
said that whenever he had child to be
named he opened the Bible and chose the
first name of the proper sex that met his
eye. The clergyman INSISTED that in the
present case mistake had been made,
whereupon the father opened the Bible
at Numbers, XVI SO, and read: The
names Of the daughters of Zelophehad
were Noah" etc. There was no more to
be said.-Youth's Companion.

Gen. lanes engineering skin.

Gen. Jim Lane of Kansas may have been
a good fighter, but he knew precious little
about military tactics or the necessity for
strategy in military movements. The ed
itor of the Columbus Ckan) Courier last
week related story which he heard upon
arriving in Bourbon county just at the
close of the war, which illustrates Lanes
lack of military skill, and at the same
time presents a phase of the old fellows
character which will be readily recognized
by his war time associates, says an ex-
change. Lane had established Fort Lin
coin, a short distance north of Fort Scott,
in the early days of the war. 1t was
situated at the bottom of a little valley,
which was surrounded on every side by
high mounds. One day an inspecting Of
ficer of the engineer corps of the regular
army arrived, and was astonished to dis
cover the strategic lacking which marked
the location of the post.
who located this fort?' he inquired of
Lane. who was in command
II did, sir" responded the general.
"Well, general, this location is exceed
ingly disadvantageous. The enemy could
come up on any one of these mounds and
shell you out, and you would be practi-
cally helpless"
Il thought of that, sir; thought of
that, said Gen. Lane, with the utmost
gravity; but, at the same time, I thought,
if the fort was captured, how easy it would
be to recapture it, sir

The Greeks On the sen.

The Greeks are proving themselves wor-
thy sons of heroic sires; and whatever
! the outcome, the glory Of the war viii be
| theirs. They are fighting like lions against
heavy odds. knowing no fear and asking
no favor. But the odds against them are
so great that it seems almost impossible
for them TO win King George is fully
conscious of the peril Of his people. Still
he is not without hope. He sees that there
is little to be expected in favor Of Greece
from the land operations. But he is hope
ful that his navy may be able to change
the fortunes of war in his favor.
"Our fleet is destined to take an fmpor-
tant part. as will soon be learned" said
he on wednesday. A part Of the fleet
was then at sea under sealed orders.
other parts of it were bombarding Plato
mona, on the Gulf of Salonica, with dead
ly effect, and hammering the Turkish for
tihcations at Prevesa. Europe must
understand" said the king also, that
after forcing US to war, there can be no
question OF limiting it. Greece under
stands that she must either be victorious
or disappear" There is desperate determi-
nation in the kings language. Greece
has everything to lose in a localized
war" such as the powers are trying to
make it, and much to hope in the event
of a great war. Europe has not been con-
siderate Of Greece, and therefore Greece
Will not be considerate OF Europe. If the
Greek fleet could drop a red-hot shot into
the powder magazine of the east" one
result would be the ACKNOWLEDGMENT if
not total destruction of Turkey. 1t is
probable that the fleet has been ordered
TO place such a shot If possible.
Salonica is the base Of supplies of the
army under Edhem Pasha. 1t is guarded
by numerous batteries. But it is regarded
as possible for the Greek ships to force
their way TO tho headwaters of the gulf
and storm and capture the city. The
Greek fleet is not large, but it is new and
powerful Its armor is modern, and its
guns of high class That they can do ex-
ecution at long range has been demon
strated at Prevesa and Platomona The
fleet is now in a position to make a dash
up the gulf and attempt the capture of
Salonca and the destruction of the Turk
ish base of supplies. The success of such
a movement might be expected to have
great moral effect upon the concert of the
powers.
The Turkish navy is effete. An trade is
sued a few days ago prohibited the ships
from leaving the protection of the forts
The Greeks, therefore, have nothing to
apprehend from the Turkish navy Should
the Turks venture upon the water, there
would speedily be chronicled a brilliant
naval victory for their opponents.

The war fever is running high. Still
another country is burning powder. In
this latter instance, however, the war is
one of those comic opera affairs common
in Central America, the like of which is
likely to break out any morning before
breakfast, be settled before dinner and
break out again before supper. Hondu-
ras is the body polite troubled with the
eruption.
Some days ago, when an American YES
sci was tied up to the custom house wharf
in Puerto Cortez, a number of men came
down to the dock and asked the captain
to delay his sailing for a few hours.
They had with them several boxes. The
captain learned that the men were of the
government party in power. that revolu-
ton had broken out, that they had the
customs receipts in the boxes, and they
wished him to delay his sailing so that
they might take passage on his ship in
the event of the success of the revou-
tionary party 1t would not be healthy
for them to remain in the event of a quick
and enforced change in the government.
1t is a way they have in Central America
that whenever a revolution breaks out,
the men in charge of the public funds
dump them into a box. carry them to the
docks. and take passage in the first ship
that sails.
1t transpired that there was a revolution
afoot, really. But the American captain
did not wait to see the outcome. 1t seems
that one Bonilla, kinsman of the presi-
dent of Honduras and himself once vice
president, and a man named Pisa, are the
leaders of the uprising. Each has presi-
Dental aspirations. If the revolution is
successful, one will succeed to the presi-
dency. Probably one of the first acts of
the successful leader will be to have the
other leader shot, otherwise there will
probably be another revolution in Hon
duras within a few weeks.

The peaceful invasion of Mexico by the
Japanese colonists is the marvel of recent
efforts at successful foreign colonization.
The Mexicans believe they have a good
thing, and have given the Japs land at
10 cents an acre with freedom from all
kinds Of taxation for the first ten years
of occupation. Mexico expects to have a
population of 10000 japanese within two
years. But Mexico may have to deal with
the Jealousy of the paeon, when he sees
the Jap comfortably quartered and sur
rounded by prospecting farm. Populism
in Mexico would be unique political feat
ure indeed.
