Multitudes Of well-meaning people
are honestly divided as to the wisdom
Of bodily punishment in schools. There
is general unanimity Of desire that the
country's youth should lack none Of the
benefits afforded by our educational
methods, but the question will obtrude
itself whether these may or may not
be more thoroughly acquired by such
resort to painful measures at times
as the obstreperousness of the scholar
or the particular need Of the occasion
call for Into this disputed problem it
is not incumbent to enter. Perhaps
consideration Of it is rendered all the
less obligatory from the circumstances
that if let alone there is a prospect that
the general progress and inventiveness
of the age may bring about such vol
untary cessation Of corporal correction
that the subject of its right or wrong
will die of inanition. What leads to
this assumption is the late incident in
a school in Binghamton, NY. A few
days ago the teacher who presided
over it's destlnies caught a pupil in an
infraction Of the rules and simultane
ously caught him by the neck. The
next move was over the knee. posi-
ton traditionally favorable to sting
ing castigation. The tutor was finely
utilizing the advantages of the situa-
ton, when centering all his energies
IN a final spank he brought his palm
down on the lads hip pocket. This,
as It chanced, contained large ante
Independence Day torpedoes, which
promptly exploded. AS result he is
minus a finger or two and plus a de-
termination to keep in mind that the
present is an age of applied science.
From such an event it is easy to rea-

carry concealed fireworks on their per-
sons, the instinct Of self-preservation,
as natural to teachers as to others. is

Strenuous efforts are being made by
certain OF the Eastern Democrats TO
prevent the Kansas City convention
from making a positive and uneQul-
vocal declaration in favor OF free sill
yer. They profess to believe that "
this declaration Is kept out of the
Platform. large numbers Of sound
money Democrats win vote for Bryan,
who otherwise will cast their vote for
Mckinley. A sound money Democrat
whose vote would be influenced in the
slightest degree by the platform
declarations % the Kansas City con-
ven,lOn must have very peculiar
mental constitution. In the case OF
Bryan. 1t can well be said that the
platform is the man whatever the
rlqdorm declarations may be. they
certainly would no. have the slightest
effect upon the policy OF Bryan should
he be elected president OF the United
States. He has announced over and
over again that on the subject Of the
free coinage Of silver his position Is
exactly what 1t was four years ago;
ever and over again has he repeated
his declaration OF absolute and un-
qualified hostiliii 10 the single geld
standard. and his determination. II
elected president. 20 break it down.
No matter what the platform declar-
alton may be; whether It demands in
unqualified terms the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver at the rate OF
sixteen to one. or whether It contains
a mere general reaffirmation OF the
Chicago platform. does not change the
situation or the issues presented in the
campaign in the slightest degree. and
1t should not. and in all probability
will not affect the vote of single in
telligent man. A vote for Byran is a
vote for the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver at the ratio Of sixteen to one.
His election would reopen the whole
financial question; and II he were in
the executive chair. 1t could be pre-
dicted with absolute certainty that the
whole power Of the administration
would be invoked to render nugatory
the law establishing gold as the sole
standard Of values. II the Kansas
City convention evades this issue, II
will simply be guilty Of a piece Of
cowardly hypocrisy, and the sound
money advocates will recognize it as
such. As matter Of course, some Of
the sound money Democrats will vote
for Mr.. Byran in the coming election.
They will do so, however, despite his
attitude on the free silver question,
and not because he and the dominant
faction of his party have changed front
on that question, for they have done
nothing Of the kind.

deavoring to do was to fix up a story

Gent idea of me. If a man tells the
rigid truth about himself, he always
seems to be worse than he is. To give
her such an impression would be equiv
alent to falsehood. What l wished to
do was to show her that I had never

That is the truth, and whatever 1

would be true, in effect, even if the de-

from the way that things actually hap

| spired the faint hearts of the Greeks
and by the advice of Themistocles the
! Athenians, on the approach of the Per
sian army, took their wives and fam
| lilies over to the island of Salamis, op-
posite the city, and the men themselves
took 20 their ships to repel the Per-
SLAMS
They doubted if they could win, but
they meant to sell their lives dearly, as
they had no mercy to hope for from the
Persians. The battle proved to be a
brilliant victory for the Greeks. They
were used to handling ships, as they
lived near the sea, and the Persians
were not. King Xerxes sat on a throne
on the shore and saw his great fleet
sunk and captured by the small but
brave Greek fleet. He was so discour-
aged that he went back to Persia, Ieav-
ing his army to fight it out alone, but
the Greeks made short work of the now
much diminished foreign army at the
battle Of Platea, and that was the end
of the Persians' efforts to punish Ath
ens.''
After making several photographs,
which he wished to use to illustrate the
position of the Greek and Persian ar
mics in some Investigations he was
making, Mr.. King said he was ready to
go home. The drive home was begun
over the very route which the victorious
Greek army must have taken on its
way back to Athens. BERTHE pretended
that he was General Miltiades and, to
the great amusement Of their Greek
driver, enjoyed himself giving orders
to Mr.. King and Uncle Belam. whom
he pretended represented the Greek
army.

its gratitude. The Greeks were much
touched by this devotion and never aft
erward forgot it.
1.-THE Greek army now numbered 10,
000 Some of the officers thought it folly
to risk a battle with so small a force,
but Miltiades, the general, was de-
termined. He arranged his army in the
| the Persians. When the battle cry was
given the Greeks charged down the
hill. The Persians were amazed at such
audacity, but they were ready for bat
tie. The Greeks, fighting desperately
for their homes and families, drove the
strangers back to the sea.
Then the Persian fleet, much dam
aged, hurried to Athens, thinking to
find the city undefended. But Miltiades.
suspecting their plan, rushed his SOL
diers to the city, and when the enemy
reached the shore the conquerors of
Marathon were waiting to give them a
warm reception. The Persian com
mander thought he had better take his
fleet back to Asia, and for awhile the
Greeks had peace"
By this time the carriage had reached
the hills that look down on Marathon,
and the travellers were soon winding
down its slope The mountains are clad
with pine, and the plain below is a vivid
green and flower grown. In the center
of the plain stands a great mound,
about 200 yards in circumference and 30
to 40 feet high.
All" said Mr.. King, ct must have a
picture of that. 1t is the mound which
the Athenians built over the dead
Greeks. They lost only 1872 in this fight
A monument was put up in honor of
Miltiades, the victorious general, but,
like so many things, time has carried it
away"
Did the Persians ever bother the
Greeks any more?" asked BERTHE as
they sat drinking the cups of grape
juice which a hospitable farmer whose
house is not far from the shore offered
them as they drove by. Uncle Belam
answered.:
