Monastery a Refuge.


The exact date at which the earlier
parts of the monastery were first con-
structed is still at matter of conjec-
ture. but according to the condition
of life which existed in those far.off
days, it had been built with the pur.
pose Of providing refuge for the peo
pie in times of peace. Huge stone
battlements completely surround the
courtyard and the little chapel. with
battlements within battlements and
corridors and hidden passag geways
leading up to the different points of
vantage behind the parapets. The mon
astery stands. massive fortification,
enclosing the church on the hilltop.
The cave itself is situated short
distance down the northern slope of
the hill from the city wall. In the
present day small chapel stands
,bove the entrance. You are inform
ed that the chapel is of recent con
struction, but this word recent" is
applied after the manner in which
periods of time are counted by the
inhabitants of the island The inform
ant probably means that it was built
after the death of st. John. In ap-
pearance the chapel looks to be as
old as the rock itself.

chapel crooked, twisted stairway of

from Worcester. Mass. Then came a
ripping of planks and the elephant
found herself in an alley, the other
end of which communicated with the
wagon delivery entrance of Sid Hop
per's china and glassware store.
Zenobia shuffled her course along
the narrow way upsettinS an ash can
in her progress. Painfully she turned
around and put the can in its proper
position, for Part of Zenobia's training
has been to put things right after they
had been upset by Topsy, the baby
clown.
The noise occasioned by the ash can
incident had attracted the attention
of one of the young women clerks in
the store. and she looked out of a
back window in time to see Zenobia
once more reverse and head for the
china shop. The clerk gave her POM
padour one frightened push and fed
out the front door, not stopping to
tell her fellow-employe the cause of
her departure.
The other young woman clerk was
watching the front-door in wide-eyed
amazement, specializing as to the rea
son for the flight, when she heard a
crash and turned to see a huge bulk
filling the doorway, the ponderous
head swaying and two absurdly small
eyes regarding her with an expression
that she was unable to interpret, not
being up on elephants.
Now this young woman had no POM
padour to push. so she was able to
save time when she started flight.
With absolutely no lost motion, she
followed the other clerk and reached
the door Just as more resounding
crash announced the progress of the
beast in her general direction. When
she reached the street she found Har-

Wireless Telegraphy in Mexico.

Wireless telegraphy has been main

government has awarded contracts for
a plant that will afford communication

a tempest in a Teapot"

There is great confusion among the
people of Cady's Falls because of the act
ion of the Selectmen in closing the River
road. While this has been expected for
some time, the Falls people say they are
not given another road just as good" !"
and consequently they protest. Tuesday
morning, on learning that bill giving
the Trustees of Morrisvllle power to close
any road detrimental to the interests of
the village had been passed in the Senate
the excitment became great, and petit
tion asking the Legislature to set Cady's
Falls into Hyde Park was drawn up and
out of twenty-five owners of real estate
eighteen signed the same, with three
ready to do so and the others somewhat
favorable" Upon consultation, how
ever, it was found that this move is too
late for action at this session and so that
matter was dropped and attention turned
towards killing the above bill in the
House, We helieye the entire matter
will be amaciably adjusted and that the
people of Cady's Falls will be given a
road to Morrisville just as good, if not
better as the one over which the conten-
ton is now raised. We understand that
the River road has been closed, that is,
people now travel over it at their own
risk. Heretofore it was necessary to adj
vertise the closing of road, but the
Selectmen are advised that simply re-
cording the same in the Town Clerks
office is sufficient. A good road will be
given the people of Cady's Falls and this
''tempest in tea pot'' will soon blow
