Europe with his host of million men,
he expected an easy victory. But he
was put to rout by .Miltiades and a
handful of volunteers. The reason for
this signal victory for the Athenian
arms was because the greater part of
the Persian host was composed Of
slaves, who were only induced to keep
their place in the ranks by taskmasters
armed with scourges.
The same is true in modern history.
What Russian peasant ever serves vol
UNFAIRLY? When the great struggle be-
tween Saxon and Slav finally comes,
the nation of freemen will have far less
difficulty with the nation of serfs than
Is at present anticipated. The vast en-
igration from which Germany and other
continental nations suffer is caused by
enforced military service. The govern
ment which eompels this service
is hated rather than loved, feared rath-
er than respected.
But Lord Beresford made one over
sight in his remarks on volunteers, He
neglected to mention that the Beers,
too, are volunteers. That fact accounts
for their conspicuous success against
England's regulars. Great Britain
should hasten to put her volunteer in
the field il she expects to win.

THE AUTOMOBILE.

The steady Introduction of the auto
mobile into use throughout the country
is having it's effect upon trade in va.
rious ways. At first the stablekeepel
became alarmed at what promised tt
be death blow to his business. The
bicycle dealer also was concerned al
the growing favor which was shown t.
the horseless carriage. More recently
street railway companies have come tt
take account of the noiseless vehicles
and to consider what effect the genera
use of the automobile was to have upon
travel by electric cars.
A company has recently been organ
lied in Missouri for the purpose of run.
ming a line of automobiles in compe-
tition with the street car system of the
city Of st. Louis. The company an.
nounces that cabs, drays, surveys, tai.
lyhos, carts and omnibuses will be rur
along certain specified routes for gen.
eral passenger traffic. The novel prop.
osition is made by the company that il
also contemplates a general express
business in addition TO the passenger
travel The various street car lines
of the country may well take note Of
this inroad upon what they are pleased
to term a monopoly.
Such a line here in Worcester would
be a decided benefit to various sections
of the city. Belt lines might be rur
connecting the suburbs, and streets
which today have no car facilities
would be brought into communicates
with the heart of the city and the bust
ness district. The possibilities of this
new means of locomotion are number
less In this connection, it is well t.
remember that no city in the country
offers as good facilities for the manu-
facture of this vehicle as does Worces
ter. Every article necessary in it,
manufacture is made here, and tn,
transportation facilities are second t
none. The Board of Trade should ex
ert its energies to secure for Worceste
at least a share of the enormous profit
which are to come from the manufac
ture of this twentieth century vehicle

TOWN TALES.

1t is bad enough when bipeds violate
the eighth section of the decalogue, but
when four-legged creatures also take
to petty larceny it is time that some So
ciety should be organized for the sup
preston Of vice among animals. A
lady who lives on the west side bought
a beautiful pair OF lace curtains the
other day, and hoped that the pretty
effect Of the draperies would assuage
the ire of her toiling husband, when
he learned how much they cost. Before
putting them up, she superintendent the
operations of Bridget in cleaning the
front room. Deeply engaged in showing
the domestic how things should not be
done, she forgot about the curtains re-
posing on the railing of the piazza
At last when the room was In spick
and span order, she went after the cost
ly draperies. and, TO her horror, on 60
ing to tine door, she saw q gazelle-eyed
bovine of the feminine persuasion pla-
cidly chewing the cud Of contentment
and righteousness, with the end
Of one curtain gracefully depending
from her dropping lip. The air was filed
with shrieks and moans and the ser
vant in a frantic effort to be useful
rushed to the telephone and called for
the police, while a small boy went Will
ingly to the corner to ring in the fire
alarm. Although neither the police MOI
the FIRE department reached the scene
of action, the owner Of the cow did to
his everlasting Disgrace, and to the end

FARM RISKS.

J. M. Stevenson, an old-time insur-
ance man, recently made some very in
teresting remarks relative to the diff
culties attending farm risks. In 1873
two-thirds of the business of the COM
pany he represented was of this class,
but it is now less than one-fourth.
Lines have been reduced and rates have
been raised, but in spite of these
changes the business has cost $4,000
more than it produced in the last three
years. In closing his remarks, he
says: 'Fhe increased use of the pipe,
matches, oils for machinery, the en-
ployment of unreliable help faulty
f1ues have caused great deal of the
increase. To this add the frequency
of the tramp To this latter genus, the
farmer owes anything but debt of
gratitude, and it is but a short time
when preservation will demand the
change both in the legislature and in
public sentiment, and will protect the
Industrious business man from this
blot on our civilization. The tramp has
kept pace with the time, and shows a
