Athens Saved by Poetry.

When (B. G. 4O4D after heroic strus-
gle Athens, the CITY of the Violet
Crown" was captured by Lysander
there were not wanting clamorous
voices to urge that the city whose lust
for empire had brought such woes on
Greece ought to be laid level with the
ground.
The Spartan general at first lent a
willing ear to his powerful allies, but
while the council was still debating
this momentouS issue q plaintive voice
was heard from the city walls chanting
those noble lines from the Electra of
Europides, that most human of the
poets of Greece, in which the heroine
contrasts her fallen lot with the splen-
did exploits of her father. who had dis

Tom Jones was real Montana cow

who had been sent out from Boston to
try the western ozone, nor was he a
student of Yale or Harvard who was
picking up $50 a month to help him
squeak through college. He was born
to the business, knew all the ms and

much of President Lincoln's time that
the latter finally lost his patience. One

important delegations were waiting,
Lincoln arose, walked over to ward

Underground Waters.

The earth contains an abundance of
water, even in places like some of our
great western plateaus where the sur
face is comparatively arid The great
est depth at which underground water
can exist is estimated to be about six
miles. Below that, it is believed, the
cavities and pores of the rock are COM
pletely closed. The amount of water
in the earth's crust fs reckoned at
nearly a third of that contained in the
oceans, so that it would cover the
whole surface of the globe to depth
of from 5000 to $500 feet. The waters
underground flow horizontally after
sinking below the unsaturated zone of
the rocks, but in the sands of the Da-
kota formation, which supply remark
able artesian wells, the motion does
not exceed one or two miles a year
The underfow toward the sea beneath
the great plains may sometimes take
the form of broad streams or moving
sheets of water, but the movement is
excessively slow.-Youth's Companion.

The Newfoundland coast folk are

pert workmen i'll stripping and unload

can turn his hand to this labor, which

permanent employment there with div

oozy depths the treasures of the SUBJ

Sentiment Versus Fact.

That the advance preparation of
speeches will not always conform to
circumstances was made evident dur
ing a flag raising at a public school.
The young orator had been speaking
for several minutes when he advanced
to the front of the platform, raised his
hand With dramatic gesture to the
flag on the staff above him and shouted
See yon flag throwing its protecting
folds to the breeze of freedon."
1t was a pretty sentiment, but the
''breeze' didn't bear out the picture
The flag, to which all eyes were imIne,
diately turned, hung as limp as if II

he would be there to do the hero's part.
The steers We're cheerfully willing.
One morning soon after the heiress had
passed down the road they lowered
their heads, threw up their tails and
stampeded The move was not expect
ed by the cowboy, but by great good
luck he was on hand to mix in. 1t
seems the easiest thing in the world
for Il hero to cut across the front Of
stampeding herd of steers and snatch
an heiress from her saddle and bear
her away to safety and win her eter-
nal gratitude, but Tom Jones didn't
find it so in practice. AS a matter of
fact, he was rolled in the dust and
walked on in shameful manner,
while the heiress saved herself, and
when the herd had passed she helped
him to find the remains of his hat and
advised him to go home and keep quiet
for few days to avoid nervous fever.
There was only one more hope for
the cowboy hero If he could rescue
Miss Griscolnb from prairie fire, all
might yet be we'll A drunken Indian
brought things about as he wished. 1t
wasn't an overgrOwn spectac ular dis
play as far as flames went, but there
was heap of smoke and grand op-
portunity for yelling, and in due time
Tom Jones started in on his work Of
rescue. While he was dashing through
the pillows of smoke and frantically
calling upon the heiress to be saved
she had already saved herself, and it
cut him to the quick to have her re-
mark as he finally rode up to her that
she didn't like the smell Of singed hair.

and, weary and hopeless, he sought out

Tom Jones was nonplused, but he
waited. In the course Of two or three
days Dutch Pete broke loose on one of
his quarterly jamborees. Dutch Pete
kept the doggery at Dead Mans Cor
ners, and when he started out to clean
up the state he kept his two guns red
hot Tom figured that it would be on
the bills for Pete to bear Miss Girls
comb away into the mountains, and he
lowered along the Fort Wingate road
as her protecting angel. His figures
comb and Dutch Pete met one morning
at the crossing of Lame Wolf creek,
and when the cowboy came up the
terror had his hands raised and the
girl had a gun on line with his eye.
She thanked Mr. Jones very kindly for
the interest he exhibited, but she really
couldn't think Of putting him to any
particular trouble.
Then Tom Jones prayed for cloud
burst. Lame Wolf creek had its rise
up in the mountains. At 8 o'clock of a
summer morning 1t might be a mere
| rivulet crossing the stage road. An
hour later a food wave six feet high
might be booming down as the result
Of cloudburst up among the peaks.
The burst came as prayed for. Miss
GriscomD was on the west side Of the
creek when caught by the food, and
all escape seemed cut of when the
| cowboy came tearing around Bull bend
| to rescue her. Three minutes later the
girl was rescuing him. His broncho
got tangled up with mass Of drift
wood and was drowned, and poor Tom
had to grab the tail of the girls horse
and take tow to the bank

your clothes, and l hope you will be

and left him to hang himself up to
