throned az Constantinople. Finally the
Greeks succeeded in driving out the
usurpers, but were only able partially
10 restore their shattered empire
Meanwhile in Asia the Ottoman power
was expanding and approaching with
the remorselessness of doom,
western Europe was too feeble. too
distracted with its own connections.
and too hostile TO the eastern Christians
to send them aid. The population of
the city had shrunk to little over 100-
600 and the empire itself did not extend
lar beyond the city walls. The final
blow was struck by the Sultan Moham-
med III. in 1883. AT the head of 10000
soldiers and OF a countless horde of
dervishes and camp followers, he began
the siege on April ?. The Emperor Con-
stantine XIII. could muster only 1000
men to oppose him. The siege lasted
fifty-eight days. Consecrated heroism
was in vain against overwhelming
numbers. The emperor. fighting to the
last, died the death OF a patriot and
martyr. Afterward his mutilated body
was found where the pile of slain was
highest. When the victorious Ottomans
poured into the city the second epoch
had ended and the third epoch had be-
gun.
Since then the city of Byzas and of
Constantinople has retained its impe-
ildA IdHh as capital ul the ollOIlAdIiS
In a certain measure it has even pre-
served it's name, the word STEAMBOAT be-
ing derived in Turkish fashion from the
word ConstantinOple. But everything
else in administration and government
was absolutely changed. not only in
outward form, but in spirit and idea
For the conquered Christians measure
less social and political inferiority was
the portion, combined with such tclera-
ton as their contemptous master saw
fit to grant.
The record of the last 456 years is
but a tale of Asiatic despotism on the
shores of Europe, a despotism regious
and political, a despotism in a few eX-
ternals modified by time, but in essence
unchanged since the conquest. While
the rest of the world has moved on,
the Ott0maus have remained sationary.
AS in their empire, so in their capital
they have devoured and never produc
ed. Bivoucking in their capital, they
have utilized none of the advantages
which it presented. When the scepter
is finally broken and they withdraw to
their native Asia. nothing permanent
lr beneficent will be left behind as their
creation.

ALGERNON'S CRASH SUIT.

Algy spent two silver dollars
For a thin, cool suit of crash
And he wore it proudly daily,
Cutting, he thought, quite a dash.
But alas. one luckless morning,
Algy met a watering cart,
And the dash the sprinkler gave him
Almost broke poor Algy's heart.
So the suit went to the laundry,
To he made as good as new.
While poor Algy's hot impatience
Every day more heated grew.

indignation that is rolling from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, on account of Admiral Dewey presenting to
his wife the home which the nation honored him
with Technically, perhaps he did commit an error
of etiquette; but when the people presented him with
this gift, their obligations toward him ceased and it
was clearly within his province to dispose Of the
property he fit. If they had given him a
cane, undoubtedly the same scandal mongers would
have poured forth an unstinted of jealousy
in case the Admiral stepped forth the street with
a different walking stick. The heroes of our late
war have suffered outrageously at the hands of the
public and every day to increase this feeling

Thanksgiving
Day.

~ THANKSGIVING is one of our nation
nH al holidays that is religiously OBJ
served everywhere. This day has
its inception in early period of the Christian era,
and is usually attended with religious services in
rendering thanks by acknowledging the goodness OF
God, or expressing thankfulness for the immunity
from disease and the enjoyment of health and pros
perity
AS prisoners perhaps, we too, can scan over the
pages of the past year and find abundant cause for
thankfulness Notwithstanding the fact that we are
deprived of liberty, of wealth. of independent action,
of the comforts of home life, of the affections of
sisters love brothers encouragement and IA
theirs and mothers watchful solicitude, still
be thankful that our health is not impaired by an
incurable disease.
During the past year we may have suffered
many Inconvenience such the loss of loved ones
or friends by death, but reverently thank God
that there those who still love us; who still be-
lieve that prisoners can be loyal and honest who
still think that and are capable of becoming
faithful citizens; who believe that not
created to occupy felons cell, but that be-
come man among men if respected and treated as
such.
In our daily intercourse with fellow prisoners,
with the warden, chaplain and guards, have
reasons to be thankful that our relations have been
of harmonious nature, and that they will continue
to look deeper than the thin which proclaims
degradation and recognize the fact that all
part of the human family and a unit Of the
universal brotherhood of man.
