THE ISLAND OF PATMOS.
Where St. John, the Beloved, Wrote
His Revelations.

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 it 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 edifices
stand in commemoration Of st. John.
Great and small, humble and grand,
cathedrals, churches and chapels, they
cover a 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
ly divided into two compartments, IL

A Historic Leg.

There resides~in Washington an old
man who saw service in the Civil
War as a colonel, although In after
years he came to call himself general,
hose only wound in action was slight
scratch on his leg. Nevertheless, this
wound has always been matter Of
great glory and pride to him, and he
has nursed it ever since, and has
grown lamer every year that the mem.
DRY Of his bravery might ever be with
him.
One afternoon, when he sat at his
club, nursing the injured leg, a fell
low clubman Of recent acquaintance
sympathetically asked:
Lame, general?"
Eyes, SIR" was the reply, after an
inexpressibly solemn pause, II am
lame"
Been riding, sir?"
NO." this time with rebuking
sternness, II have not been riding"
"Ah, trust it was not due to a fall
on the Ice, general?"
mo" came in tones Of ferocity.
Perhaps. then, you have sprained
your ankle?'
With painful slowness the old fell
low lifted his pet leg in both hands,
set it carefully on the floor, rose de-
liberately from his chair, and lookin.
down upon the unfortunate questioner
with mingled pity and wrath, burst
forth in almost sublime rage:

your country, STRIP

Thank goodness for a clothes-line '"
exclaimed Eric Gordon, fervently. as he
and his wife were putting the finishing
touches on week of packing, prepara-
tory to moving out of their house.
That's what the ThurstOns would say.
Did you know they call that room they
live in their 'One-roOm fiat" When all
the chair and l1bles are full, they stack
things in corner and say, Thank
goodness for floor""
Mercy" said the ed-lookipg young
woman who was resting for minute
on packing-bo How do people live
so?"
"Adaptability to circumstances and
the knack Of turning the humorous
light on things. They have mighty
good time-all owing to their philoso-
ply. Now isn't it better to rejoice over
your thoughtfulness in forgetting to
pack this clothes-line than it would be
to lament because we've lost that trunk
strap?" He tipped up trunk and pro-
ceeded to rope it stoutly as he went on:
IF we can acquire the habit Of being
amused by things which nag most peo-
pie; If we can learn to enjoy lying
awake when we can't go to sleep; II
we can look on the noise which dis
turbs us as kind of music"

wife. Eric, do you know that it's 60
ing on midnight? Mother will repent
having asked us to sleep there if we
don't come soon. o Eric, 90 you know
you've left out that vase on the trunk
behind you?"
Yes 1 couldn't find a place where
l dared pack it. I'm going to carry it
in MY hands,"
1.-The idea You think more Of that
vase than Of everything else we !"
Maybe. It's our choicest possession,
guess" He glanced admiringly over
his shoulder at the rare piece Of glass.
Then he asked, abruptly. How am l
going to cut this rope? 1 want to put
the rest Of it round that box, and John
Blake has walked off with my knife"
And everything in the house that
might cut is packed, and everybody in
the neighborhood is asleep"
Don't you suppose there's any sharp
edged thing lying around?'
I'm afraid not" she answered, du-
biously, and together they made fruit
less tour of the rooms.
Il might gnaw it," hazarded Gordon,
humorously, picking up the rope and
trying to break it. AS he did so his
foot slipped and one arm few out,
striking the cherished vate behind him.
With a lunge he reached for it, only
to give it blow that sent it crashing
into fragments on the hard thing Of
the hearth.
20 Eric!" gasped Mrs. Gordon, and
waited for him to say the rest.
There was a half-minute Of silence.
Then, with a grim twinkle, he picked
up a jagged bit Of the beautiful rain
bow-hued glass.
Thank goodness for something to
cut this rope WITH" he said, quietly, be-
ginning to saw the clothes-line apart.
There's nothing more to pack now,
Dolly, and we can get right over to
your mothers and have a good nights
sleep."-Youth's Companion.

FEARS COAL STRIKE
OPERATORS REJECT ALL PROPO'
SlTIUNS OF THE MINERS.
Coal Barons Claim If They Raise
Wages They VIII Have to Raise
Price of Coal and They Claim the
People Cannot Afford the Raise at
This Time.

The propositions of ,Ae United Nine
workers of America for readjustment
of wages and conditions in the an
been rejected by the operators. AS
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 a further term of three years
from the LIST day of April, 1910. The
present agreement terminates March
81 of this year.
Announcement of the anthracite OPP
orators decision and their counter
proposition was made in a long formal
statement which was given out for puD-
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 Il
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 coalfields
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 general increase in wages.
In conclusion, the statement says:
1T 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-
lish 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 Tie interest of the en-
ployers and employees, nor Of the pub
lie, to have the mining business as
well 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 p:.. ty 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"
