fields are beautiful and profitable.
The stately mountains OF historic re-
noun stand around the plain, and the
scenery grows into grandeur superb.
While the vision fingers on classic
hills, the Imagination pictures historic
scenes, and the mind grapples with
potent events Of the past, the train
stops, the Greek name for Athens
rings through the cars, and you are in
the classic city.
Athens is the metropolis and capital
Of Greece. 1t has population Of one
hundred and fifty thousand people.
The Greek language and the Greek
church prevail in the dominion. The
people are intelligent, energetic and
industrious. We saw many classic
things In both history and art. We
gazed on the Greek stadium. It was
being rebuilt out of fine pentelica
marble by rich Greek, who lives in
Alexandria, at the enormous expense
of fifty thousand dollars. 1t is built
for the Greek olympic games, more
than six hundred feet around the race
course and seats fifty thousand people
In marble chairs. 1t is an enormous
structure, but apparently Of little use.
We stood among the majestic and
massive ruins Of the temple of Zeus.
Several of the columns are still stand
ing and many others lie broken on the
ground. They are some sixty feet
high, six and one-half feet in diameter
and support entablatures of great
beauty. These suberb ruins show the
zeal with which the ancient people
worshiped the Father God OF Greece.
We walked up, around and upon the
level stone summit OF the Acropolis.
We viewed the beauty Of the propy-
laea, the temples of the wingless VIC
tories, the Erectheum and the maids.
We saw in all their grandeur the mu-
scum, the PorJhenon and the place
where the colossal statue, Athens, once
stood. These were once structures of
great beauty and art, but to-day they
are art and beauty In ruins. The
museum contains the statuary that
once garnished and embellished the
Acropolis. The far-famed Parthenon
is the most perfect architectural

Corn Late in Audrain County


J. e. Dishman, one OF the successful
feeders Of Audrain county, No, had
in 30 head of cattle Of bis own feeding,
averaging l425 lbs, and selling at s5.25
per cwt, which was considered good
price considering the condition Of the
market at this time. He reports corn
very late in his section, and prospects
anything but bright for even fair
crop, while the yield OF wheat was
way below the average In quantity and
very inferior In quality. Oats were
light but Of fair quality, but grass is
fine and there are some cattle being
grass fed.-St. Louis Live Stock Re

ing inflammation and catarrh. have
now been well for six months, and 1

Leone Dolehan.
Peruna will be found to effect an inn
mediate and lasting cure in all cases Of
systemic catarrh. 1t acts quickly and
beneflcially on the diseased mucous
membranes, and with healthy mucous
membranes the catarrh can no longer
exist.
Miss Louise Matt, 1859 Van Buren, st.,
Chicago, ILL.,, writes:
"Peruna Is most wonderful medicine
for catarrhal and stomach troubles.
az suffered SO long with indigestion
and dyspepsia, and tried many things
to cure me, without relief. l finally
bought bottle Of Peruna and in just
six weeks I was entirely rid of my

Mars Hill is rocky promontory
about three hundred feet high, in the
center OF ancient Athens. On this
promontorY Paul preached to the Greek
sages and philosophers Jesus and the
resurrection. This fact has given it
historic life, and every school boy and
girl knows Of the widespread fame of
Mars Hill. Its renown covers the sur
face Of the earth. Steps cut in the SOL
i'd rock provide the way for ascending
and descending. The rock-hewn seats
of the senate of Greece are still among
the relics of the summit. To the
northwest, a stones throw, stands the
colossal temple Of Thesens In all its
grandeur and beauty. To the west
and south, across the valley, is the
Pnyx, where Demosthenes and Cicero
poured their thrilling orations, which
moved the world In oratory, into the
ears Of the sages Of Greece. To the
south about one hundred PAGES Is the
old public prison, In which Socrates
was confined for corrupting the youth
ful morals OF Greece, and where he
drank the hemlock which sent bis soul
into the abyss Of the future. To the
north, about the same distance, is the
Greek Agora, where Paul was reason
Ing with the philosophers and the visl-
tors, when they conducted him to Mars
Hin and requested an explanation Of
bis wonderful doctrine. And to the
east, just across the public highway,
is the majestic Acropolls. On It's
crowning summit stands many fam
GUS temples, and the far-famous Par
thenon, casting their illustrous rays Of
beauty on the entire surroundings.
Mars Hill is the most famous and his
toric spot In Athens.
We strolled through the hugh ruins
of the theaters OF Attikus and Diony-
sas, the artistic and snowy academy
of Greece and the classical and pol
ished museum Of ancient statuary.
The theatres seated respectively twen-
ty-tive and thirty-fve thousand peo-
pie. They are ruins of great antiqui-
ty. Many fine, gorgeous oil paintings
decorate the walls of the academy.
They are beautiful, interesting and
instructive. The academy is well
worth time and labor. The museum
contains the prize-winning statuary OF
Greece. Every god Of any Importance
In the ancient world is here represen-
ted In beautiful carved stone. For
weeks one could gaze upon the i'm
posing and heroic statuary. The mu-
scum is place Of marvellous beauty
and rapid education.
Athens is a Greek city covered with
massive ruins, filled with attractive
statuary, abounding in historic
places, studded with preponderous
events and the foundation Of scholar
ship.

age to Coustantinople, the Bosphorus

bly, Wrong, and wseps, Though
He Cannot Realize the Harm
he Has Innocently m
Wrought.


Little Frank Harrlngtun. years Of
age, is not old enough TO know that
he is responsible for the condition Of
bis sister Catherine, one year Older
than himself, who will probably die as
the result Of cruel bullet wound in
her breast.
The little fellow sits and cries and
means by the hour because Of the fact
that his little sister has been 'hurted"
but he does not realize that 1t was be-
cause OF bis own ignorance Of the dan
ger of a loaded revolver that she is now
at the point Of death.
He only knows that something is
terribly wrong, and that his bright
eyed little sister cannot romp and
clay with him as she did yesterday.
Shortly before 8 oclockf Wednesday
morning the children were playing II
spy In the front room Of their home,
4387 Hunt avenue. In the kitchen
their mother was doing the family
washing.
Little Frank was hiding and his sis.
ter was the catcher. He secreted him
self In the bed, and In trying to crawl
under the mattress be ran across a re-
volver belonging to his father, which
had been left under pillow.
Instantly the game was changed to
"Indian'' and almost as quickly the
little fellow pulled the trigger Of the
revolver, which was pointed toward
his sister.
There was loud report, and little
Catherine fell to the floor screaming
With pain.
The bullet from the revolver had
passd entirely through her body, after
striking her ON the right side Of the
breast.
Physicians say that there is no hope
of recovery.

PAYNE sLAps GOVERNOR
vARDAMAN HARD
Declares He Would't Name Postofice
for Him Because His Paper Spoke
Indecently of Presidents
Mother.


WASHINGTON, Aug. Postmaster
General Payne to-day made the follow
ing statement explaining the reasons
for refusing to name a Mississippi post
Office in honor Of the governor Of that
sta0e:
ION the 9th day Of May, 1904, a petit
tion was fled with the department
asking for the establishments OF a
postoffice at a certain point In Calhoun
County, in the state Of Mississippi,
and requesting that 1t be named
Vardaman.
Immediately the usual investiga-
tion made by the department as to
the necessity for the establishment OF
the office was undertaken. Pending
the inquiry, copy of the Daily
Clarion-Ledger, a newspaper published
at jackson, Miss, dated Aug. Is, 1908,
was fled with the department, con-
tanning an article TO which the depart
ment's attention was called. This
article was a copy Of an editorial
printed In the Commonwealth under
date Jan. 10, 1903, which paper is
published and edited by Gov. varda-
man.
"The article In question was SO vile
and indecent In its statements con-
cerning the mother of the President
of the United States as to be unfit for
reproduction. The postmaster-genera
did not deem it proper to give a post
office the name OF any man who had
used such language regarding any
woman. The postoffice In question
has deem ordered established and given
the name Of Timberville.
"In exercising the discretion given
him by law, the postmaster-general
frequently rejects names suggested for
proposed postofiices He has never
been clearer as to his duty than in
this case.
ut is proper to say that President
Roosevelt had no knowledge of the in
cident referred to-"
