BEAUTY AND THE BEAST"
How n Pretty Old story Is MisreaA

How n Pretty Old story LIS MisreaA
and uninterrupted.
When a lovely woman weds a rich.
coarse, cruel man, the cynical modern
observer exclaims, Beauty and the
Bestw The characterization is a wick
ed misreading Of one of the loveliest of
myths, story as fruitful of wisdom
to-day as when it sprang out Of the
early life Of the world
Beauty was good daughter and q
brave woman. Her father lost his for
tune, and she set herself to serve him.
When prosperity promised to return to
him, she begged q gift of roses rather
than Of Jewels or faces. When he
again fell into trial. was captured by
the Beast and forced to promise one
Of his daughters as a ransom, Beauty
at once offered herself as the sacri-
fee
In the palace of the Beast, surround
ed by every luxury, but not knowins
what fate awaited her, she never for
got her old father, dreamed of him
nightly, and at last begged leave to 60
to see him and return. Although she
was persuaded to stay a week beyond
her leave, she came back loyalty to the
palace OK the Beast. The poor crea-
ture was half-dead of grief for what
he believed to be her loss, and the
sight Of his pain and his delight gave
her courage to avow her recognition OF
his noble qualities, her love for him.
and her resolve to be his wife in spite
Of his hideous exterior.
Instantly the Beast was Transformed
into a handsome young price, freed
from an evil charm by the devotion OF
the brave woman, and Beauty and the
prince came into their just inheritance
Of joy and peace.
The symbolism of the myth has q
profound truth. The Beauty who would
work charm upon the Beast in man
to-day must also possess the simplicity
which prefers the rose to the dia-
mond, the industry which does not fear
poverty, the filial loyalty which will
not finch from dangerous duty, the In
tuition which sees the great heart with
the ugly form, and the courage which
dares all for love-
When the woman of to-day and to-
morrow has all these powers at hes
call, we shall see, not the hideous mod
ern parody of Beauty and the Beast,
but the perennial repetition of the love-
ly old story in which, led through trials
by brave and virtuous woman, they
all'' live happy ever after.-Youth's

THE ISLAND OF PATMos.

Where St. John, the Beloved, Wrote
His Revelations.
The isles Of Greece, where burning
Sappho loved and sung" are forever
reappearing in history. Just the other
day 1t was the ancient Lesbos, called
in modern times by the name of Its
old-time capital, Mitylene, at which
the allied fleets of Christendom
planned to make demonstration
against the Turk. fractional fights be-
tween the sympathizers of the Sultan
and the Greek patriots in Crete every
few months threaten to make the
haunt Of the Minotaur the scene of
international complications. Samos
has been in the limelight several times
since the Greek war for independence,
and the Investigations of European
and American Psychologists In Delos,
Aegina and Euboea have kept these
islands in the public eye. Very few,
In fact, of the members Of the Grecian
archipelago, barren and untenanted
though they are. have entirely drifted
out of notice.
Even the least known Of them all
In antiquity, hardly mentioned by the
prehistoric writer, but made famous by
the visions of the best loved Of the
apostles, Patmos, is frequently famil-
larly spoken of, though seldom visited.
For throughout the length and breadth
Of the Christian world many edif1ces
stand In commemoration Of St John.
Great, and small, humble and grand.
cathedrals, churches and chapels, they
cover period Of history extending
from the day when the conversion Of
Constantine made Christianity the off,
cial religion of civilization down to the
present time. At one end stands the
little chapel built by the piety Of the
simple fishermen Of Patmos above the
cave where St John passed the long
days of his Punishment from the main
land of Asia Minor. At the other are
the central arch and the columns Of
the Cathedral Of st. John the Divine,
now being erected at the cost Of a
kings ransom and years Of thought
and patient toll. The contrast between
the capital of the new world and the
barren island in the Grecian archipel-
ago, between the wealth Of the twenti-
eth century and the provincial village
Of the Roman empire. is typified by the
unlikeness Of the two structures.
High up on the steep hillside Of the
little island Of Patmos Is still to be
seen to-day the natural cave In which
st. John lived for many years and
wrote his Revelations. The cave, rough
" divided into two compartments. Is
cut deep into the solid rock. the walls
are damp with the natural moisture

An ODD Race.

An exciting form of winter sport In
which Canadian boys excel, Is barrel
racing, and It is great fun 1 can tell
you.
These races are on Ice.
Ordinary barrels, With their heads
removed, are placed In regular inter-
walls along the race course, for about
a quarter of mile.
Then, at a given signal, all the boys
skate for the first barrel. Many reach
1t together, and, as each skater must
pass through all the barrels In order
to win, there lie quite a scramble for
first turn.
Sometimes a barrel wheels complete
ly around while boy IL working his
way through II, and when he comes
out, he Is 30 confused that he skates or
in the wrong direction. Usually the
laugh Of the spectators makes him
realize his blundefi and hes quickly
turns about and tries to make up for
lost time. 1t Is quite an exciting sport
and an amusing one also for the spec.
tator, as the boys ana barrels bob
about In the most ludicrous fashion.

FEARS COAL STRIKE.
OPERATORS REJECT ALL PROPO.
SlTIONS or The MINERS.
Coal 5arons Claim II They Raise
Wages They Wml Have to Raise
Price Of Coal and They Claim the
People Cannot Afford the Raise at
This Time.

The propositions Of .Ae United Mine
workers of America for readjustment
Of wages and conditions in the an
thracite coal fields, as a whole have
peen rejected by the operators. AS a
counter proposition the operators sug-
gest that tie awards made by the an
thracite coal strikes commission, the
principles upon which they are estab-
lished by the commission and the
methods established for carrying out
their findings and awards, shall be con-
tinued for further term Of three years
from the LIST day of April, lsvo. The
present agreement terminates March
81 of this year.
Announcement of the anthracite OPP
orators decision and their counter
proposition was made in long formal
statement which was given out for pup
lication. This statement, which in
cludes the correspondence on the sub
jects at issue between President John
Mitchell o, the United Mineworkers,
acting for the miners, and George F..
Baer, president of the Philadelphia 4
Reading Coal & Iron company, for the
operators, discusses the miners propo-
sitions in detail In every instance the
contention is made by the operators
either that conditions in the coalfelds
do not warrant the change proposed
by the miners, or that the questions at
issue already have been passed upon
by the strike commission.
Cannot Increase Wages.
I'VE can not increase wages with
out advancing the price of coal and we
are not willing to advance the price
of COAL" is the reply to the demand
for a general increase in wages.
In conclusion, the statement says:
ut has been our hope, and we trust
the public expectation as we'll, that
the effect of the exhaustive investiga-
ton and findings of the distinguished
citizens who constituted the anthracite
strike commission would be to estab-
fish just and permanent adjustment
of the relations between the operators
and their employees. Therefore, we re-
ject the suggestion that an entirely
new and untried system should be
made which is only to last one year.
1T Is not to the interest of the en-
ployers and employees, nor of the pub
lie, to have the mining business as
we'll as the general business and COM
fort Of the people seriously disturbed
by these yearly contentious.
Neither the public nor the opera
tors can stand these progressive and
enormous increases in the cost of the
production of anthracite coal, followed
necessarily by corresponding increase
in the price.
ut is peculiarly fortunate, there
fore that existing conditions have all
been the result of arbitration by third
persons; that neither party can say
that it has not had due consideration.
There can be no doubt that the good
Of all CONCERNED will be served best
by adhering to the results thus
reached"
