some cropping he found the closed pane

So they went contentedly to sleep.

politics those were dark days for
Athens. 1t is useless to recount the
preliminaries of the Peloponnesian war
or to rehearse the accommodating causes
which brought it on. The blame for
it's occurrence, like the hatred which
gave it rise, rests equally with Athens
and Sparta. The forces of the sea
combined against the forces of the land.
Interrupted by Intellectual armistices or
treaties, it continued for twentv-seven
fratricidal years. Almost every town
in Greece took part for one side or the
other At Aegos Potamos on the OAR
danelles, Athens and Sparta rallied
their resources for one supreme effort.
The strategy of the Spartan admiral
laid Athens low. Her last fleet was
captured or destroyed. In March, 104
the helpless city surrendered to her
hereditary foe.
The democratic government was
oyerthrown and remorseless oligarchy
took it's place. Then followed months
which are fifty called the reign of ter

washington Post.)
A well known contractor of this town
has a son, still under 30, who has been
doing the running away from home act
ever since he attained his 18th year.
The ''oid man" has always been called
upon to fetch the young chap back
from remote points. None of the hard
luck propositions up against which the
boy has stacked while having fun with
himself in this way has taught him a
permanent lesson. probably for the SIM
pie reason that he has always found it
too easy matter to get home by the
simple process of wiring his father for
the price of a ticket He went away
a month ago, and his father didn't hear
from him until yesterday. Then the
old gentleman got a dispatch, dated
Hastings, Neb. The message ran:
Am on the hog. Wire me $40 for
ticket home. JOE"
The old man went to the telegraph
Office, got blank, and wrote the fol-
lowing reply:

HISTORIC CITIES OF EUROPE.
I. ATHENS.
(COncluded-)
BY EDWIN A. GROSVENOR, NJ. a.

We must now turn our gaze to the
western shores of Asia Minor. That
whole Asiatic coast on the Aegean was
dotted with enterprising Greek cities.
They had been subjugated by the Per-
slams anG added to their empire. TAX
ing advantage of an opportunity which
seemed favorable, some of those cities
declared themselves Independent and
obtained the assistance of Athens. This
insurrection is termed the Ionian re-
volt, because undertaken by Greeks of
Ionian stock. The Greek army at
tackled and captured the wealthy Ly-
dian city of Sardis, then Persian pos
session, which was burned TO the
ground. Assailed by superior forces
the victors withdrew. Though Darius,
the Persian king, speedily stamped out
the rebellion, he was enraged against
the Athenians who had dared to aid his
rebellious vassals and even to attack
and destroy one of his inland capitals.
