ton. Although 1t has been part Of the
sultan's domain for 200 years. the Cretans
are Just as much Greeks today as they were
1000 years ago. They have the same Ian
guage and tho same religion as the rest of
Hellas, and they are anxious to become a
part of the Greek kingdom.
Naturally the Greeks have unbounded
sympathy for the Cretans. They them
selves have been free from Turkish oppres-
sion for barely generation, and the hatred
Of the Mussulman, which hundreds Of
years bondage instilled In their hearts, Is
still as deep as If kept alive by present in
justice. In recent years, too, the Greeks
seem to have recovered something of their
old martial spirit. The chief reason why
their imported ruler, King George, is not
highly popular, Is that he does not share
this spirit. He is Dane by birth and has
no inherited hatred for things Turkish
Then there are family reasons which have
kept him from disturbing that sacred
eastern situation" If he were to embrCil
the European powers in an indiscriminate
conflict, he would gain the hearty dislike
of score of royal relatives
King George is mild hammered, self
possessed, middle aged man with a long
mustache and n very bald head. When he

Coburg had both declined the throne which
King Otho had abdicated, but the young
Danish prince accepted. Itwas an insig.
nihcant throne, but he assembled it, backed
by the allied powers, and had only to keeI
his own people under control.
This has not been such an easy task aft
er all Greek political feeling runs very
highat times, and not long ago there arost
an occasion when King George must have
wished himself we'll out of the ruling bust
ness. Tricoupis and Delyannis, the lead
ers of the rival parties, both refused t.
form cabinet. The king tried all sort'
of combinations, but nothing suited them
In despair the king decided that he would
get along for awhile without a cabinet
The scheme worked beautifully, ant
after awhile the sulky statesmen consented
to return to business once more. Sine,
then there has been less friction.
In the present crisis the king has un

and not less than years in any event.
But he has had for a teacher all these
years nature whose work is done with
infinite patience.
So he has begun the task Of develop
ing a rose which may delight the anna
teur gardeners Of many generations to
come He has explained in general
way the means he intends to take in or
der to coax nature to add another rose
to her floral treasures.
"The first thing l shall do, " he says,
will be to try to blend dark red rose
with q white blossom. l expect to ac
complish this by transferring a little of
the pollen of the white rose to the dark
red flower. The Seeding that will OBJ
tain in the autumn will partalle slightly
of the nature of each, and as result
the rose that will blossom ON the new
bush next year should be trifle lighter
than the original red rose, and of course
q great deal darker than the white rose.
Each spring l shall set out the seedlings
Of the hybrid plant, adding more of the
pollen of the white rose each time until
l get one that shall answer all require
ments
On paper this seems a very simple
process, but any one who has dabbled at
all in rose culture can readily anticipate
the many failures, delays and disap-
pointments which are bound to come
But probably no other living man un-
derstands the workings Of natural laws
in roses as we'll as Mr.. Burbank. His
success seems almost magical.
But all his floral miracles are the re-
suit Of patient waiting aud intelligent
experimenting. He was horn i'll Massa-
chusetts and comes Of a good old Puri-
tan family. He was we'll educated, and
at the request Of his parents took up the
study of medicine. Life in a medical
college was uncongenial to him, how
ever, and he gave it up. Then, follow
ing his own bent, he became a student
of nature under AgassiZ and learned all
that books or the great savant could
teach him about flowers.
His next move was to 60 to Califor-
nia, where, in the Santa Rosa valley,
he settled down on a little ranch of 10
acres and began the cultivation of all
sorts Of vegetables and flowers His
special love was for roses, however, and
to the culture Of these he gave most OF
his time and attention. He did not at
tempt to raise large quantities for the
market, but tried to produce the finest
qualities. He has succeeded and become
wealthy as well as famous, so in under,
taking to raise $40, 900 yellow rose he
is working not for the sake of the money
alcne, but for love of the task.

FORTUNE FOR A ROSE
LUTHER BURBANK MAY GET $4,000
FOR A SINGLE BLOSSOM.

But II VIII Probably Take Years to Pro-
duoe It-Burbank Devotcs All His Time
TO the Cultivation Of Rare Roses and
other Flowers.
"If you will produce such rose,
will give you $40, 900 for the first bios
bm."
"It's bargain.
The offer was made not many weeks
ago by representative of great seed
firm in Philadelphia. The man who ac-
cepted it was Luther Burbank, the great
California horticulturist and florist,
whose name is familiar in many lands,
but who has achieved perhaps his great
est fame, not in producing the many
varieties of flowers lilies, roses and the
| like, but in perfGCting and introducing
the potato which bears his name. To
whole nations the name Of the Burbank
Seeding is known, and the man who
gave to the world that variety Of the
| Irish tuber is the same individual who
is now at work on this most novel task.
1t seems like fabulous price to pay,
this SO, 600 for q single rose, but the
man who made the offer knew that it
would be a good business transaction for
his house if Mr.. Burbank would accept
and win the prize. He was in California
on business trip. and before he returned
went down into the Santa Rosa valley
and hunted up the famous rose cult
vator.
Burbank, he said, "here is the
greatest opportunity Of your life if you
care to take advantage Of it. Back in
the east, where it is not always summer,
as it is here, we have long been await
ing the arrival of a perpetual yellow
hybrid rose. Such a rose nowhere exists
except in tropical or semitropical eli
mates We want hardy yellow rose Of
good size and delightful fragrance that
will be sufficiently strong to withstand
the vigorous climate Of the east without
being removed to the cellar or hothoust
during the winter. If you will produce
such a rose, will give you $40, 900 fol
the first blossom.
When Mr.. Burbank accepted, he fully
realized all the difficulties in the way o
fulfilling all these requirements. HI
knew that by no chance stroke of fortune
could he hit on what was demanded, bu
that it might be the work Of 0 or . year
