A Grecian Hero.

Like a CLEAN of golden sunlight
through the blackness and the horror of
the Balkan thunder cloud comes the story
of servants faithfulness and loyalty to
his trust. even in the face of death itself.
The details are gathered from a letter
which has been recently received by a
Turkish gentleman, at present living in
Manchester. I'VE found him wandering
in the mountains" says the writer, resi-
dent of the much troubled villayet of
MoGastir land in his arms was the dead
body of a little child-a girl--one of our
own people The poor fellow was in a
fearful state, his clothes being in rags,
his boots cut in pieces by the rocks and
the Jagged stones of the mountains.
Upon inquiry we found that he had been
the trusted servant of n Mohammedan
merchant. who. having business in Con
stantinople. was obliged TO leave his
household in charge of this Greek. When
the rebels came into the district and be
gan to pilage and massacre the inhabi-
tants, this man fed to the mountains, TAX
ing with him the child. the only one of
the family. HewmuSt have been hiding
for some weeks, as he is fearfully weak
nom hunger and exposure. He himself
would have been in little danger from the
rebels, being like unto themselves, an in
fidel: but his love for his master and his
sense of the trust bestowed upon him led
him to carry the little one away from the
marauders. ". C.

The Girl at Central"

No nervous girl need apply at tele-

Magazine. The strain and stress of the
eight hours intense, concentrated atten-
ton to the demands of the switchboard
call for GOODNESS and poise.
The girl who has the telephone bee
buzEing within her bonnet seeks the gen
eral manager, and is first put through Il
searching test for general iitness-Sight
and hearing, deawakenesS, department.
If satisfactory, she is turned over for
training to the operating inspector For
the first week She does nothing but at
tach her head-phone to an experienced
operators position and listen. 1t takes
that time To learn to distinguish the doz-
en- aud one confusing sounds that crowd
into her receiver. The next two weeks
she puts her observation in practice,
with an experienced operator always at
her elbow.
The lot of the full-Hedged telephone
girl is by no means an unenvable one.
Her work demands unilagging attention.
but custom eases the strain. The great
telephone companies are in the forefront
of the modern movement for improved
working conditions. Every girl is given

POWER OF sELF-CoNTRoL.
An Important Consideration in All Mat
ters Pertaining to Health.

The power of self-control Is very inn
p9rtant IN all matters relating to health.
The term hyperkinesia is used in medi-
| cine 10 Indicate that a person has lost his
or her power To govern the thoughts, feel

tudes Of cases of those who in this re-
spect have gone mad. They have no
mastery over themselves. These are ex-
| IRENE case. Z indicates degeneration
of brain tissues
The. power of self-mastery is believed
by scientists to be the last one acquired
by the human race in the process of CIV
olutlon, ana the last powers acquired are
not so hrmly fixed in our natures as some
which have been longer in our possession.
The result Is it becomes deranged more
readily than more fixed forces. In many
cases self-control has never been fully
acquired at all, and so the person can
only partly master himself As rule
children have little of this power They
are like animals. Little by little. as they
grow older, It grows, and in some it be-
comes so well developed that it is almost
perfect. In others. like music in those
who never acquire it. or any other fac
nity, it never becomes a potent factor in
life.
j. Chandler. waiting in The Journal of
Hygiene says: MANY parents teach
their children early the value of self
control; others leave them uninstructed,
and they suffer from it all through life.
Both men and women need to drill and
discipline themselves in self-mastery. |

ELK DESTROYED BY HAY.
When They Get a Taste of Hay They
Will Not Go to the Foothills.

The next day l went seven miles up the
valley to the ranch of Frank Petersen:
and told him wanted to get near enough
to elk to photograph some of them. He
said it was too late to go today, but TO-
morrow we would go, and he thougn1
there would be no trouble in making all
the pictures l wanted. He said the new

house Petersen has a dozen Young elk
which he rescued from starvation near
his ranch last winter. Elk like hay rs
well as cattle do, and the most serious
trouble ranchmen have is to protect their

were so many dead elk along Flat Creel;
that the water was unfit to drink this
spring; but scarcely any dead animals
were found on the wilderness range

MAKES FORTUNE GROWING cAcT1.
Arizona Scientists Found That Nothing
Else Would Grow in His Orchard

Quietly and unostentatiously a bust
ness enterprise of a novel and unique ma
ture has been built up in these parts, and
though it is not large enough to attract
a great deal of attention it is being car
ried on successfully from a financial
point of view. Mention is made of ii
to illustrate the fact that this part of
the world has possibilities that few peo-
pie have ever dreamed of, and also to
illustrate the further fact that if man
cannot do one thing he can do another.
A man who has good brains in his head
can often turn to financial profit the
very things that are considered of least
value and detriment to the country.
Nearly everybody who has lived in
Phoenix Ariz., long is acquainted
wit, with DIR; R, ..,I F.. knnze, better known
Kunze is a man of refinement and edu-
cation, though he is very quiet and unas-
Stunning. He takes to scientific things as
a duck does TO water, and came here a
few years ago from New York. Noting
the many bugs, butterflies and insects
here that are rarely found in other parts,
he began TO systematically and indus
triously collect them and send them to
eastern collectors, schools, etc, and it is
understood that his work was pleasantly
remunerative, for he knew first how to
catch and preserve his specimens and
next now 10 classify them.
Finally he bought little piece of
ground down near the river mile south
of Washington street. on Seventh avenue,
intending to plant an orchard. He tried
faithfully for a year or two, but with
poor success. He found the soil in that
locality was worthless for fruit trees and
the few that did grow were a sickly lot
1t then occurred to him that if he
couldn't raise anything else he could
grow eacti, so he went into that business
Now he has a cacti nursery and is max
ing money out of it. He supplies local
people when they want cacti for decora-
tive purposes. but his main business is
in the large eastern cities and in Europe
He has been sending plants to Germany
for the last four years, and last spring
he made a shipment of about 5000
pounds.
Dr. Kunze knows as much about cacti
as he does about bugs, and when he
meets a new variety he prizes it as a
prospector does n promising gold ledge
He now has plants from all over the
southwest, Arizona particularly. One
variety he goes clear to the Mexican line
for and can find nowhere else.-St Louis
