Grecian Customs That Are Anything but
Pleasant.
In nearly all the churches or in the
monastic chapels hereabout l find
swarms Of Greek soldiers. They come
in, cross themselves, stand listening
while the priest reads from the holy
books in the peculiar quavering sing
song which makes the words quite in
comprehensive even to Greeks, and
then they kiss the pictures. The other
day at Zarkos I saw them crowding to
kiss a round inch of the skull of st.
Nicholas and a few of Chrysostom' 8
perished finger joints. Their mother
tongue was Greek, but they kissed the
bones and went away. Round the walls
of most churches are paintings Of tor.
ment at least as disgusting as anything
which Italy can show, fires and rent
flesh and devouring monsters-such
things as man has invented to add to
his fear and unhappiness in the world.
There are a few saints, too, Of course,
the works of many a pictor ignotus,
whose name no Ruskin could save to
memory now.
In the richest of the monasteries am
the abbot's guest. At dinner, over octo-
pus stewed in leeks, dish that tasted
like line of Aristopbanes, we tried
to discuss the position and prospects Of
the Orthodox church and the impor-
tance of it's metaphysical distinctions,
but we did not get very far. The poor
man was overcome at the loss Of two
oxen, the very leaders of his team,
without which all the rest were useless
for the plow. The government had
taken them and killed them to feed the
soldiers and in return had given him a
paper promise to pay. No doubt the
payment will be made, but can you
plow your field with a paper promise?
Will the other oxen follow it if you hold
it before their nose? They look back
and will not move, lowing for their
leaders in vain.-London Chronicle.

don't claim that I have extraordinary
ones-lie in exactly this direction-the
power to see things plain enough to any
eye, and also the power to see the mean
ing of things that are plain enough, or
should be, to any mind. Summed up,
it is the power of observation and the
power of deduction; that is all
MANY people look right at things
which they never see, and others who
see the things fail to note their mean
ing. Yet it is not because it is difficult
or because it requires mind and eye
especially adapted to that sort Of thing
not at all 1t is simply that the mind
and eye are indifferent-have grown
callous to things. Children see many
things that we old fellows miss, and
they often detect the meaning Of things
when older persons fail to. which Is
another way Of saying that their eyes
and minds are not Indifferent to the
things around them. They are not yet
old enough to have become callous to
things. -

ROUND BALE COTTON.
What the Farmers Antitrust Union, Of
Texas, Say.

What the Farmers Antitrust Union, OF
Texas, Say.
Sam G. French in Texas Farm and Ranch.
By order of the Farmers Antitrust
Union, recently organized at Navarro
Mills, in Navarro county, Tex, I here
with enclose a brief summary of the
plan of organization and obligation
adopted May 20, 1899.
Believing that in union there is
strength, we pledge to each other our
mutual support and hearty co-opera-
ton by uniting in an organization to
be known as the Farmers Protective
and Anti. Trust Union.
Section 1 declares the "aim, object
and intention of this union to be for
the mutual protection of the farmers
and cotton raisers from the blighting
influence and power of the - round
bale cotton trust in particular and all
other trusts, monopolies, syndicates
and combines of whatever name, char
acter or formation, the workings of
which are detrimental to the interests
of the producers of the products OF the
soil, which constitutes all wealth, and
which tend to destroy honest competi-
tion in trade and commerce."
Section 4 declares that "all persons
who are opposed to trusts and monop-
olies in any and all forms, and who be-
lieve in honest competition in trade,
and who believe in the inalienable
rights of man to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness as guaranteed the
citizens of this great republic by the
constitution, and who are willing to
subscribe to the obligation hereinafter
set forth are eligible to membership in
this union."
The following is the obligation:
awe, whose names are hereunto sub
scribed, do most solemnly obligate our
selves not to encourage, support or
patronize the - round bale cotton
system in any way, shape or form,
and we further agree to patronize our
home gins and ginners with the nat
bale, provided that our ginners will
reduce their presses to conform 10 the
uniform or standard bale of "a by 81
inches, and we further agree that we
will not insist or require our gin men
to use or put in any more cotton than
is necessary to make an average weight
bale of 500 pounds"
The obligation was signed by nearly
every man present. r. ]. Wright was
elected president; R. F. johnson, vice
president; Sam c. French, secretary
and treasurer. A committee, consist
ing of J. s. Ponder and R. ]. Davis,
was appointed to organize the colored
farmers of our precinct.
This organization is not a temporary
affair. but will continue in existence as
long al there is trust to fight, or un-
til our state officers shall have en-
forced the constitutional laws of our
state, and have driven all monopolies
and trusts from our beloved state.

THE MAN WHO DRINKS. bus
mess world recognizes that no man
who drinks is as good as he would be
if never drank. Time was when in
certain lines of business it was neces-
sary to drink. Quite the contrary
is the case now. Even saloon men
prefer barkeepers who do not drink
the liquids they sell. All the fairy
tales about the great things people
do when under the influence of liquor
have been exploded. The orator who
must be intoxicated in order to make
a speech is no longer here and he has
never been here. The lawyer who
cannot plead case or cite an authori-
ty without spending the night before
in bar room has gone to visit the
pale glimpses of the moon and he has
always been gone. The writer who
produces a great poem or a great essay
while maudlin removed from this plan
ct before the command "Let there be
light" was given. The bookkeeper,
clerk, mechanic, salesman, artisan,
young or old, is not at his best while
under the influence of liquor and he
is not as valuable to himself, his en-
ployer or society. In the race of life
the temperate man has the best OF it;
the drinking man is handicapped.
Great things have been done while
the brain was excited by stimulants,
but greater things would have been
done had there been no artificial
stimulation. The sober man is always
an improvement on the drunken man.

thinking of the girl of 80 years ago.
They went down the hill toward the
east and then turned south and walked
out on that beautifully shaded street
which leads past the Dread institute
Josephine asked the professor many
questions about the wonderful things
that astronomy has to tell, for she was
a girl of an inquiring mind, and the
professor, always glad to talk to a per-
son genuinely interested, told her many
curious things. But with these our
story has nothing to do.
"And now, professor, tell mo how
you unravel the tangled threads Of mys-
terry. Since you came have been read
ing about those cases you worked out
and it seems to me quite wonderful l

1.-The houses and trees hide the cross
streets SO that you can see nothing Of
them and nothing on them. How do
you know that one runs up hill and an
other down."
"It is quite simple. There are very
few people on the sidewalk in front of
us The eye travels along it easily for
several squares. Now, at each street in
tersection the curb to the sidewalk turns
at right angles with itself to follow the
intersecting street. Our eyes are at a
sufficient height above the ground to
observe several Of these cross curbs

very plainly visible, and half dozen or
more beyond them are more or less
easily distinguishable You observe

CUBAN BANDIT CHIEF CAPTURED.
Says Major Acosta, of the Cuban Army,
pIottad rho Martial Rohhery

Says Major Acosta, OF the Cuban Army,
Plotted the Mariel Robbery.
Havana, Jnly 2S.-Chief of Police
Gallo, of Guanajay, has captured
Enrique Rivere, the ringleader Of the
banditti engaged in the recent safe
robbery at Mariel. Rivere was taken
in a ruined building on plantation
in the neighborhood Of Guanajay.
In telling his story the bandit chief
says he was asked by Major Jose
Acosta, of the Cuban army, to help
raid Mariel, and was told that there
was no danger in the enterprise.
Acosta according to Riveres tale, took
him to the Cuban barracks, where the
plot was arranged with Sergeant For
min, of Acosta's regiment, and five or
six others. Arms were supplied the
men and the telegraph wire was cut
by order of Acosta.
The party arrived at Mariel at 8
o'clock in the evening and all hands
assisted in carrying the safe some dis
lance away, where it was opened with
an ak, each man helping himself to
some Of the money 1t contained. On
their return the party arrived at the
Cuban quarters in Guanajay at 8
o'clock in the morning. Rivere says
that he delivered a portion of the
money he had secured to Acosta and
some to Major Bulnes. and he believed
that others of the party gave money
TO Bulnes.
When the first man concerned in the
raid was arrested Acosta ordered all
the members of the band to get as far
away from Guanajay as possible.
Rivere also says that Acosta stole
many mules and horses and also had
plan to rob the hotel at Guahajay.

Mayor Farley Defeats Proposed Inter.
fsrDnce by the Counoii.
Cleveland, July 2s.-Mayor Farley
propose to finish the campaign against
lawlsssnAss In Cleveland ON the lines
he has laid down, and he will not tol-
crate any Interference. That was made
clear at the special meeting of the city
council last evening. when the attempt
to institute an investigation Of tho
strike on the Big Consolidated street
railway lines by q special committee
Of that body was debated.
Mayor Farley opposed the proposed
action In vigorous speech, In which
he declared that the appointment cf
the special committee would interfere
with the plans of the executive for the
crushing out Of disorder. He said the
only result could be to keep alive the
agitation, and that no good purpose
would be served. This seems to be q
good time," the mayor declared, "for
everybody to mind his own business.
Several Of the councilmep favored
the committee. but when the resolution
came to vote It was lost.
Many Of the strike sympathizers
have been very bitter toward Farley.
In public meetings they have charged
him with responsibility for the pres
emit troubles. and threats against his
life have been made. This has led him
to provide a guard for his residence
on Euclid avenue, and detectives watch
the house every night.

Der demanded admission, but no one
except the members of the family and
two members of the cremation society
were admitted. The ashes were placed
in the urn and taken in charge by the
