The Albanian and Turkish troops in
the vilayet of AdTianople appear to be
pursuing their usual tactics of burning
and plundering the villages and killing
the peasants instead of making an
attempt to break up the insurgent
bands.
Very little news is flltering through
from Monastir but all reports agree
that the position of the Christians Is
desperate. The Turks are making a
clean sweep of the whole Bulgarian
element.
Twelve thousand troops are assem-
bled around Malkotonovo and are en-
gagged in pillaging and burning the vii
lagos. The population everywhere is
fleeing to the forests and mountains.
All the Turkish population in the dis
trict of Losengrad has received arms,
even the boys have revolvers.

Boy Saved a Steeple Climber.

One day last week F. Devillo Sand
ers of Belmont, Allegany county,
climbed the steeple of the Episcopal
church in Geneseo to examine the
damage done by lightning. When he
was near the top of the steeple his
rope caught so that he could not move
up or down, and it was necessary to
get another rope to him.
The nearest place to Sanders that
could be reached was GO feet below
where he was dangling.
Ezekiel Willis, a boy, got out his
kite and flew it so that Sanders could
grasp the string. Then pieces of cord
Of gradually increasing size were at

Paris is full of counterfeit coins, ano
the cabmen make use of them quite In
geniously. You take two franc fiacre
ride. and when you reach your hotel
you in the generosity of your heart
give the cabman francs.
You have just got within the vesti-
bule when you notice the cabman has
followed you.
He apologies, but the coin you have
given him is bad. You look at it. Yes,
it is bad 1t is nothing but bit OF
lead.
You are pretty certain in your mind
that it isn't the coin you gave the man
which in nineN-nine cases out OF a
hundred it isn't-but you don't care to
haggle in a hotel corridor and be sub
jected to the ignominious glances OF
other folks as a foreigner who gives
poor French cab drivers bad money. So
YOU take the bit of lead and give good
coin.
OF course the cabman has changed
the coin. You gave him a perfectly
good three franc piece at the start,
which he has in his pocket, and he has
bluffed you into giving him another 3
francs in exchange for a useless bit Of
lead. To visitors to Paris let this be a
