PUZZLED OVER THE HORSE
Humor of Scotchman While in an
Unpleasant Predicament

Sandy McFadyen. a Forfarshire farm
er had been spending an hour or two in
the evening with friend a couple of
miles away 1t was moonlight, and
Sandy, after partaking freely of his
friends hospitality. was riding quietly
home across the sheep pastures on his
"guid auld mare when they came to
an open ditch which the mare refused
to cross. "Hoot. ava. Maggie" said
the rider. this Wilma dae. Ye maun
juist gang over" He turned back about
hundred yards, wheeled round and
gave the mare a touch Of his whip. On
she went at a brisk canter but just as
they reached the edge of the ditch she
stopped dead. and shot Sandy clean over
to the other side. Gathering himself UP,
Sandy looked his mare straight in the
face and said: Vera weel pitched, in
deed, ma lass. But hoo are ye gaein' to
get over yerself, eh?'
When President Mckinley returned

that one of the alterations was the fitting
out of hitherto unused room as a hand

VOLO, May 9.-The correspondent Of the
Associated Press. describing the entry OF
the Turkish troops. says:
"Edhem Pasha sent a flag of truce with
q proclamation thar he would protect all
inhabitants remaining in the town. A
touching scene ensued. In the principal
street an immense crowd gathered with
anxious uptUrned faces. listening eagerly
TO the reading of the proclamation which
was TO decide their fate. When the read
ing was finished. a murmur Of intense re-
lief was heard throughout the dense
throug. quickly followed by frantic
shouts Of. Long live the Sultan.
But there still remained cause for the
most serious anxiety. for the question was
then whether the Greek admiral whose
ships were lying off the town and in plain
sight would accept Edhem PasLa's terms.
A single gunshot from the feet would have
compelled the Turks to treat VolO as hos
tile.
Three newspaper men. myself among
them. were appointed a deputation to so
on board the flagship and get the admir-
ais reply. We bore white flag. At the
quay. however. we met the captains of
the foreign warships with written COM
munication from the admiral, saying that
he intended TO remain in front Of the
town until assured that II would be oc-
cupied quietly. To this the Turkish COM
mander replied that only one battalion
would enter. the main army going into
camp outside. and he again requested that
the Greek flag be Withdrawn. as otherwise
he could not be responsible for what
might occur"
